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 Howell family and the Hawthorne family had been neighbors for so many years. When Hannah was just born, Georgia said that Kendall's mother would come to the Howell family every day, saying that she just wanted to have a daughter.Later, as she grew up a little, Kendall's mom would always mention how envious she was of Georgia for having a daughter like her.As she grew older, she even mentioned, intentionally or unintentionally, about having her and Kendall become doll siblings.However, Georgia did not agree and has always been refusing.Ever since Kendall's parents divorced, Hannah hasn't seen Kendall's mom much.I didn't expect that this time, Kendall's mom would call her directly.The person on the phone seemed to have changed, as soon as they spoke, they asked her if Kendall was with her.Hannah didn't feel anything was wrong at first, and politely explained that she was on a business trip.No sooner had she finished speaking than the woman on the other end of the phone sudde
It was a dinner party in the evening, and Hannah returned to her hotel room after 9 o'clock at night.At tonight's dinner party, she was offered quite a few drinks, even though it was just red wine with a moderate alcohol content. However, Hannah hasn't really been drinking for over half a year.At that moment, the person returned to the hotel room and didn't feel like taking a shower. They collapsed on the sofa and just wanted to sleep.Sophia worried about her and, not knowing where she got it from, made her a cup of honey water."Ms. Howell, drink some honey water slowly."Hannah squinted her eyes and looked at Sophia, then smiled and said, "Sophia, was I great today?""Yes, yes, Ms. Howell performed really well today!"Sophia had been Hannah's secretary for almost three years, so she knew Hannah quite well.During this period, Hannah suddenly made great progress, which surprised everyone in their company.Sophia knew that Hannah had a childlike personality, and she had been praisi
The train arrived at four o'clock, and Hannah and Hollis got off the train only to find that it was already dark. Both of them were momentarily stunned and asked, "Did we miss our stop?"How did it get dark around four o'clock?The wind blowing over was especially cold, and Hannah's face felt like it had been scraped by a knife. She looked at the weather forecast on her phone and said, "There will be a heavy rain today. I need to hurry, or else I'll have to spend the night at this Train Station!""It was quite cold today!"Hollis straightened his clothes and said, "Let's hurry up and go!"The two of them dragged their suitcases and walked outside. It was difficult to hail a taxi in this weather, but luckily there was a subway.Hollis had no plans to look for a job and followed Hannah back to the villa.The two of them came out of the subway station, and the rain had already stopped.Hannah took a taxi half an hour in advance, so she didn't have to wait for long.With such heavy rain,
LA in November became completely cold, Hannah made an appointment with Hollis to go to the hot springs.Hollis recently became unemployed as well, with nothing to do all day, he went to look for Hannah.Two idle people gathered together, always thinking about how to have fun every day.Hannah booked a villa just for her and Hollis. The villa had a hot spring, so they didn't have to go to a public hot spring pool to soak."Hey, I heard that Kendall was going to get engaged to that Sabrina Novak. Do you know about this?"Hannah paused for a moment with her phone in hand and said, "I haven't heard.""Did Kendall look for you before?"Upon hearing Hollis' words, Hannah glanced at her and said, "Who's been feeding you nonsense again?""My younger brother, he said that one day he saw you with Kendall, and you two seemed quite close. He originally wanted to go up and say hello to you, but then he thought it would be better not to.""Drake had a bad look in his eyes, how could the word 'intim
All of her belongings from her student days are inside the miscellaneous room at home. Georgia only allows people to organize them, but she has never thrown away any item.Hannah quickly found the gift that Kendall had given her back then. After nearly fifteen or sixteen years, the outer wrapping paper had become slightly worn.Hannah held the package and returned to the room. The adhesive tape had completely stuck the wrapping paper, and she couldn't open it, so she had to tear the wrapping paper directly.Underneath the wrapping paper, there was a gift box. She opened the box and inside, there was a bed of lavender. The first thing she saw was the postcard placed on top.Hannah raised an eyebrow, picked up the postcard, and turned it over to see the message Kendall had left for her.To say or not to say, Kendall's handwriting was quite nice.Hannah, there's something I've been hesitating about for a long time, but I feel like I should tell you. I don't even know when it started, but
That night, Kendall indeed did nothing. The two of them, rarely calm and peaceful, sat together, reminiscing about the things they had experienced in the past decade.Many things were brought up again, and Hannah realized that she had many misunderstandings about Kendall as well.For example, it was not Kendall who told Georgia about her failing mid-term exam, but Georgia went to school to bring her some snacks and casually asked about it.Back in college, the incident where Kendall switched the love letter she intended to confess with was because that senior was not a good person. Kendall knew that she wouldn't listen if she told her, so she took matters into her own hands.The two of them chatted until after three in the evening. Hannah didn't even know how she fell asleep, but when she woke up, Kendall was already not in her villa.The mess on the desk has been tidied up, and everything on it is neatly arranged. Under her water cup, there is a takeout receipt, on which Kendall left
The box was just sitting there on the side, and Hannah found it to be in the way. She had just put on gloves to eat the crayfish, but she couldn't resist and took off one glove. Then she took the box and walked over to a shelf nearby, and stuffed the box into it.When she turned back, Kendall looked up at her.Hannah glanced at him and said, "What kind of look is that?""Did that box offend you?"Hannah sat back down and, as she put her gloves back on, she hummed, "If you keep asking, you will soon offend me.""OK, I didn't ask anymore."Hannah ate four or five crayfish and felt like something was missing. She looked at Kendall beside her and said, "Don't you think we're missing something?""What was missing?"Kendall handed her the peeled crayfish, and Hannah didn't hesitate to take it: "Beer, huh? Don't you drink beer when you eat barbecue?""There were a few cans of beer in the refrigerator, go and get them!"Hannah kicked him directly, Kendall took off his gloves, and got up slowl
Hannah started the car and returned to the villa, paying no attention to Kendall: "There are guest rooms on the first floor, don't come up to find me unless it's necessary."This was Kendall's second time coming to Hannah's place. Last time, Kendall didn't stay for long before being chased away by Hannah.This time, I came over...Wasn't it a little better, at least he got to sleep in a guest room on the first floor, right?Hannah finished speaking and went upstairs. Kendall didn't feel like guessing what idea he had in mind, and he didn't have the patience to play with him either.Since he was coming to stay over, she decided to give him a guest room, as there were plenty of rooms in her house.As for the rest, he can dream on!However, she thought well, but reality turned out to be somewhat contrary to her wishes.Hannah had just played two rounds of King of Glory by herself when Kendall's phone rang."What's up?""Were you playing King of Glory?""Yeah, do you have any opinions?""
Mona was not surprised at all. She only became acquainted with Hannah after junior high school, when she was young and naturally couldn't see the constant arguments between Hannah and Kendall.Later in high school, she also had a crush on Kendall, and when she saw what Kendall did to Hannah, she vaguely understood something.She remembered in her sophomore year, she even told Hannah that Kendall might like her.Hannah's reaction was very strong, telling her not to make such jokes, she couldn't handle it.Not long after, it was heard that Kendall had a girlfriend, and Mona even briefly doubted if she had sensed something wrong.Later on, Kendall went abroad after studying in her home country for only two years. After going abroad, she also vaguely heard from mutual friends in the circle that Kendall had a girlfriend again. Mona no longer mentioned Kendall's feelings for Hannah.Five years ago, Kendall came over to this side of LA to find Hannah. She was quite surprised because at that
