Jessica slept until after nine o'clock the next day. Just as she woke up, she heard her stomach growling loudly, feeling extremely hungry.She just moved a little, and the soreness all over her body reminded her of last night's madness.Thinking about what happened last night, Jessica's face turned red again.She pursed her lips, pushed away her thoughts, and prevented herself from dwelling on what happened last night. She propped herself up and sat up from the bed.As soon as the person sat up, Terry came in and said, "Good morning, baby, would you like to have breakfast?"Jessica was a little angry again, she raised her hand and grabbed the pillow next to her, and threw it directly at him.Terry didn't hide either, waiting for the pillow to hit his face before he came over and hugged her in his arms, saying, "Are you still angry?"He said, grabbing her hand, and slapping his own face. "It hurts like this, it hurts like this, baby."Jessica couldn't help but laugh at him. "You were r
The group entered the private room with different thoughts in mind. However, among the four people, Bennett was probably the least happy.He had finally managed to run into Chad and was planning to take advantage of the opportunity to get close to him, secure the new project from the Sheppard Group, and then go to Brice to take credit.Bennett couldn't help but feel annoyed when Terry and Jessica unexpectedly showed up out of nowhere.But what could he do about his anger? He was invited by Chad, and now he looked at the three people chatting at the table, feeling as if he was the one who was unnecessary.Jessica couldn't tell what Chad was up to, but the atmosphere at the dinner table had been quite harmonious so far.Chad occasionally said a sentence or two, sometimes it was her who answered, and sometimes it was Terry who answered.Bennett, sitting on the side, didn't have much presence. He probably realized this issue and smiled as he chatted with Chad for a few moments, to which C
After leaving the private room, Jessica and Terry went straight back to their room, packed their things, and prepared to return to the city center.Thinking about what Chad had just said in the private room, Jessica took the warm water Terry handed over and couldn't help but raise an eyebrow, "Do you know Mr. Sheppard?"Upon hearing her words, Terry glanced at her with a slight raise of his head. His peach blossom eyes hooked her with a smile that seemed both playful and inscrutable, saying, "Darling, do you want to vent your anger on me again?"Jessica took a sip of water and chuckled lightly, "So you really had a conflict with him?""Um."He did not deny, but Terry clearly had no intention of saying anything specific about the holiday.Jessica didn't pursue further, she leaned on the nearby sofa and looked at him, "No wonder."She paused and said, "However, the Sheppard family is not easy to mess with. It seems like you will have to suffer."It is said that he was being treated unfa
Terry raised an eyebrow and said, "No, I encountered a crazy dog."Liked to bite people randomly.Jessica made a light click with her tongue and said, "Even crazy dogs use perfume?"She said, paused for a moment, and added, "It's still ladies' perfume."The carriage was narrow, with the heater still on inside. The windows were all closed, and the air circulation inside was poor. The scent of perfume was so strong that Jessica could smell it as soon as she sat down.At first, Terry didn't notice, but when Jessica mentioned it, he also smelled it.Terry didn't expect Chad to be so twisted. In order to make Jessica misunderstand him, he even used ladies' perfume.In this situation, honesty is naturally better than any excuse."If I said that the mad dog was Chad, would you believe me, darling?"Jessica didn't think Terry would do anything behind her back. If he really was that kind of person, he had plenty of opportunities in the past decade, especially when he was single. Even if Terry
After hanging up the phone for a while, the heat on Jessica's face had not subsided.Hannah bringing up this matter is one thing, but even mentioning her own biological father is too much.While daydreaming, Terry brought out freshly washed grapes, picked one, peeled it, and handed it to Jessica's lips.Jessica felt a coolness on her lips. She came to her senses and glanced at Terry, then slightly parted her lips and bit into the grape."What was the baby thinking?"He spoke and then picked a grape from the fruit plate beside him, leisurely peeling off the skin.Jessica naturally wouldn't tell him about whether or not she would bring him home for the Lunar New Year this year. She glanced at him and said, "What do you want to eat later?""What do you want to eat?"He handed the peeled grape to her lips, and Jessica instinctively opened her mouth and bit into the grape. Unexpectedly, he didn't withdraw his hand and lightly pressed his fingertip against her lip.Jessica's face turned sli
After Jessica finished speaking, Terry's actions came to a halt. He lay back to one side, closed his eyes, and remained silent.Jessica glanced back at him and couldn't help but purse her lips and secretly laugh.After a while, Terry beside her moved slightly. He turned to the side and held her again, but his actions were much gentler than before. "Is your stomach hurting?"He reached out and placed his warm palm tightly against her abdomen.Jessica shook her head and said, "It didn't hurt."Terry raised an eyebrow and said, "I haven't drunk the brown sugar ginger water tonight."Jessica couldn't help but laugh when she heard his words, "Let's skip tonight, shall we?""Be good, hold on a little longer."He said as he got out of bed to make her black sugar ginger water.Jessica watched his back as Terry's warmth from his palm lingered on her lower abdomen.Snow was still falling outside the window. Ten minutes later, Terry came in with a steaming bowl of hot ginger tea with black sugar
Heidy was well versed in the art of seduction. She subtly lifted her leg under the table, but she searched for Terry's leg for over ten seconds and couldn't find it.Heidy raised an eyebrow and reached out to grab the juice in front of Terry. However, just as she took the juice away, Terry suddenly reached out and snatched it back, pouring the juice into his own bowl in front of him. "Do I know you?"He raised his eyebrows, and his peach blossom eyes, with a smile that was not quite a smile, revealed a hint of coldness.Heidy's face changed when a man contradicted her for the first time. She furrowed her brows, placed her hand on the dining table, and her index finger and middle finger tapped on the table, moving towards Terry's hand resting on the edge of the table. "Does Mr. Davison have such a poor memory? We only met recently, and I have a very strong impression of Mr. Davison."Terry glanced at the woman's disruptive hand, and before she could touch him, he calmly withdrew his ha
Bennett raised his eyebrows triumphantly and said, "Ms. Coffey, I saw everything that just happened between you and Terry."Heidy's face immediately turned dark. "So you came to make fun of me?"Bennett knew that Heidy had misunderstood and quickly explained, "Of course not, Ms. Coffey, I came to talk to you about collaboration."Heidy didn't think there was any good reason to collaborate with the idiot Bennett, but since he was the heir of the Davison Group after all, she had to save face. "Oh, what kind of collaboration can we discuss between us?""Ms. Coffey, the enemy of my enemy is my friend, so I suppose we could loosely be considered friends. Therefore, this collaboration naturally involves Terry."The Coffey family was no less prestigious than the Davison family, and Heidy was certainly not an ignorant young lady from the Coffey family. Otherwise, she wouldn't have looked down on Lia, who had posted arrogantly.Upon hearing Bennett's words, Heidy could somewhat guess what Benn
The driver happened to be at home today and was being escorted out by another police officer.He, on the other hand, didn't cry and shout like his wife did, even when he was being escorted out, he kept his head down, as if he was afraid of being too embarrassed in front of the neighbors.The wife, who had been crying and complaining incessantly, suddenly stopped shouting. The man, as if sensing something, glanced inside the car and when he saw Jessica, his face immediately turned pale.That woman...Even though almost a year had passed, the man still recognized the beautiful woman at first sight.As the saying goes, if you have done no wrong, you need not fear the knock of a ghost at the door.After that day, the man had several nightmares in a row, but as time went by, he gradually forgot about them.I didn't expect that after a year, the other party would come to my door with the police.The man lowered his head, forced a bitter smile, and muttered, "Retribution! Retribution!"If th
Suddenly, there was a "drip" sound outside the door, and Jessica knew that Terry had come back. She quickly wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes.Terry pushed the door open and entered the room. Jessica was still on the couch, with her head tilted back, smiling at him. "You're back so soon?" she said.Terry walked over and only then did he see that Jessica's eyes were a little red.He put down the things he was holding in his hands and bent his body halfway in front of Jessica. He held her face with both hands and said, "Did you cry secretly?""No way."He looked at her and suddenly raised his head to kiss her on the eyes.Jessica trembled for a moment, and the emotions in her heart instantly magnified. She fell into his arms and hugged him, saying, "I don't know why, but it feels like I haven't seen you guys for a long time."Before today, she didn't remember anything. The missing memories of over twenty years made her silent when facing the past.If she couldn't remembe
Upon hearing his words, Jessica inexplicably choked up, "What if it wasn't?""No if."He spoke and tightly held her hand.Jessica blinked her eyes and said, "I was a little hungry.""I went to buy ravioli for you.""Okay."Jessica let go of her hand and leaned back on the sofa, looking at him as he touched his stomach and asked, "Is the little one okay?"Terry also touched her abdomen, “It's fine."It has been over four months, almost five months, and Jessica's belly is still not very noticeable.But knowing that there was a life growing inside, I placed my hand on it, even though I couldn't feel anything, a wave of tenderness still surged in my heart.Terry glanced at her and said, "Behave, I will go buy you some food.""I knew."It was almost 8 o'clock now. After lunch, both Jessica and Terry hadn't eaten anything. At this time, they should have been hungry.Terry took his phone and said, "I will go downstairs to buy some food.""Go."She was not a child, so there was no need to wat
Jessica was still asleep, with an oxygen tube inserted in her nose, looking as if she was sleeping.Terry walked over and held her hand, then followed the gurney back to the regular ward.The hospital in this town was simple, and there weren't many people in the inpatient department. Jessica was assigned to a separate ward.The nurse gave Terry a few instructions and then left, leaving the ward filled with the sound of machines.Jessica's forehead was scratched, and it bled, but the bleeding was not excessive, and the wound quickly coagulated.Terry used a wet tissue to wipe away the bloodstain, and just as he threw away the tissue, his phone started vibrating.It was an unfamiliar number.But Terry still remembered the incident with the police. He picked up his phone and stood in front of the window by the door, watching Jessica inside, while answering the call, "Mr. Policeman?""It was me. Is Mrs. Davison alright?""Having just recovered from shock, the doctor said there was no majo
Halfway through the interrogation, Terry received a message from Jessica and he immediately interrupted the officer in front of him, saying, "Sorry, I have to go back, my wife is in danger."The police officer taking the statement also had some difficulty processing it, “Your wife..."Terry didn't have time to think about it, Jessica wouldn't easily send such a message again, she sent a distress signal, the situation must be very bad.Seeing Terry get up and run, the police officer who was taking the statement quickly chased after him, saying, "Mr. Davison, if your wife is in danger, we can send help..."Terry didn't wait for him to finish, “Well, thank you, officer! I'm going back first!"The car stopped at the entrance of the police station, Terry turned the car out of the road, and as soon as the car got on the main road, he stepped on the accelerator.The car drove away all of a sudden, at a very high speed. When the police ran out, Terry's car had already disappeared.Terry almos
The sunlight at twelve o'clock was even more intense. Eamon was scolded by Jessica, and although he had the intention to run away, he lacked the courage to do so. Who knew when Jessica would come out of the house.He was tied to a tree, although most of the sunlight was blocked by the leaves, it was still very hot at noon, and Eamon was suffering as his body still hurt from the several places Jessica had just hit him.Jessica and Terry were leisurely eating lunch inside the house, eating to their heart's content. It was only after they had finished eating that Jessica took out her phone and called the police.The police took more than twenty minutes to arrive, and when Eamon heard the sound of the police siren, he instinctively trembled.Terry glanced at him and went out to meet the police, “Hello, I am the husband of the person who made the report."Terry made a simple self-introduction, “My wife got scared by a thief, which caused her to have a miscarriage. She is currently resting
Eamon realized it and instinctively wanted to run, but Jessica also reacted quickly, reaching out and smashing the coconut she had just taken a few sips of onto him.Terry, who was standing by, immediately dropped what he was holding and ran up to grab the tattered oil-paper umbrella by the door. He forcefully smashed it onto Eamon's ankle, causing him to scream in pain, "Ah!"Eamon fell directly from the wall, and he was about to resist as soon as he got up, but unfortunately Terry had a very solid oil-paper umbrella in his hand, and he was hit again as soon as he got up.After being hit more than ten times, Eamon couldn't bear it and quickly begged for mercy, saying, "Please stop hitting me! I was wrong!"Terry turned around and glanced at Jessica, saying, "Bring the rope."Jessica turned and entered the small room next to her, pulling out the hemp rope from under the bed.Eamon, who fell to the ground, attempted to escape. Terry, seeing that he was being dishonest, fiercely struck
Denzel arrived at the hospital and remained unconscious. That night, he was transferred to the ICU.It had been several days since Jessica heard the news when she and Terry arrived in Tonopah.It was almost June, and as soon as Jessica got off the plane, she felt a wave of heat.Plus, back in January, Eamon came over causing trouble, and Jessica was a bit concerned about the condition of the yard.The temperature today was a bit high, and Terry was worried that Jessica couldn't handle it, so he didn't go over there immediately after coming out of the airport.The two of them stayed in the city for the whole night and only took the car over early the next morning.There weren't many households in the village to begin with, and it seems that the big yellow dog that used to chase after Jessica is now gone.Jessica and Terry asked the neighbor next door and found out that there was an old man in the village who fell while picking vegetables in the vegetable field more than three months ag
Denzel had been talking to Lucas all along, and in the few short seconds before the elevator arrived, there were only Denzel's childish voice and Lucas's occasional "uh-huh".The elevator came quite fast, and Jessica and Terry were the first to enter.There were no other people inside the elevator, only the five of them.Jessica and Terry were in the right corner, while their family of three was in the left corner.Terry held Jessica's hand, lowered his head to look at her, and the two exchanged a glance, only to smile slightly and never speak.After about five or six seconds, the elevator finally reached the first floor.Jessica and Terry didn't move, watching as Lucas and the other two exited the elevator. Only then did Terry say, "Let's go."Jessica glanced at him, and both of them instinctively slowed down their pace. The family of three in front of them gradually moved further away, until they were about ten meters apart. It was only then that Jessica spoke, "Are he and Susie pla
