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
Jessica's heart skipped a beat as she met Terry's gaze, feeling her cheeks flush. She didn't know how to respond to his words, so she decided to change the subject instead. "I'm so hungry."Terry averted his gaze, got out of the car directly, and walked around to help her open the car door. "Is your stomach still hurting?"Jessica smiled and said, "Actually, it didn't hurt much.""That was painful."He said as he bent down and picked up their bags, leading her towards the elevator.Back at the apartment, Terry poured herself a glass of warm water and Jessica had just taken it when the doorbell rang.She was a bit strange and instinctively looked at Terry."I had someone deliver porridge."If he cooked, it would be too late.Jessica understood and lowered her head to take a sip of hot water.Terry went to open the door, brought in the porridge, and placed it on the coffee table. She lifted the lid and sat down next to her, asking, "Is your stomach hurting?"He scooped a spoonful of por
The meeting that started at four o'clock lasted for over two hours. When Jessica came out of the meeting room, it was already six minutes past six in the evening, and it was time to leave work.Jessica had just finished discussing the details of the new project proposal with Wendy when Alissa suddenly approached her and said, "Ms. Hall."Jessica nodded, "What's wrong? Haven't you finished work yet?"Alissa handed the package she had in her hand to Jessica and said, "This is the package that was delivered half an hour ago."Jessica raised an eyebrow. She hadn't bought anything recently. Living with Terry made it easy for him to prepare surprises for her. As for Hannah, who was completely focused on Dominic, she wouldn't even think about preparing any "surprises" for her.Moreover, this was a document delivery.Who sent it to her?Jessica reached out and took the delivery package. "Thank you. It's getting dark outside, so go home early."Alissa smiled at Jessica and said, "Okay, Ms. Hall
"Did baby change their mind so quickly?"Lost in thought, Jessica suddenly heard Terry's words and snapped back to reality. She looked at him and smiled, saying, "When did I ever change my mind?"Wasn't she such a scumbag either?"You were just thinking about someone else."He spoke with certainty, and Jessica raised an eyebrow, looking up to meet his gaze. "How did you know?"Terry heard her words and a mischievous glint appeared in the corner of his eyes. He lowered his head and suddenly bit her lips. "I'm holding you, and you're thinking about someone else?"Jessica couldn't help but want to tease him a little when she saw him like this, "I can close my eyes and not look at others, but I can't stop my mind from thinking about others."As soon as she finished speaking, Terry suddenly bit her on the face.It was true. He bit.Jessica ate pain and surprise, a slight pain and a large warmth came to her cheeks, and her whole face became hot."Don't worry about others, baby."He lowered
Terry sat on the sofa, watching as Jessica entered the master bedroom. As he withdrew his gaze and turned his peach blossom eyes towards the photo on the table, the smile in his eyes gradually faded, and a hint of coldness appeared on his face.He took out his phone and called Jerry.At this point in time, it was still early, but Terry had a lot of things to do in the past few days, even though he was supposed to be a hands-off manager.Jerry was surprised when he suddenly received a call from Terry. At this time, if he guessed correctly, Terry should be with Jessica.Half a month ago, Terry had already said that during this time period, unless it was a major event like the sky falling, do not easily call him.Terry took the initiative to call, which was a rare occurrence. Jerry quickly answered the phone, "Mr. Davison?""Please help me look up something.""You said."Terry glanced at the photos on the table again and said, "When I was having lunch at Spring Restaurant today, a woman
Receiving such a phone call early in the morning, Hannah felt unlucky.It was raining outside, so she didn't feel like going to the office today. She decided to go later in the afternoon and instead, she decided to talk to Hollis on the phone about what had just happened.The two of them chatted for a while and Hannah ordered takeout. After having lunch, she changed her clothes and went over to the company.In the evening, Kendall drove over to pick up Hannah to go eat hot pot.The rainy weather was suitable for eating hot pot, and the hot pot restaurants had long queues. The two of them waited for a while before finding a seat.Taking advantage of Kendall's break from washing dishes, Hannah told her about Madelynn being beaten as a mistress."...You said, how could there be such a person, knowing full well that someone has a girlfriend or a wife, yet still insisting on getting involved. Does she prefer second-hand things?"Kendall placed the freshly cooked fatty beef onto her plate,
Hannah responded with a shocked expression, Hollis was probably busy and didn't reply to the message.She felt a little hungry, touched her stomach, turned around and went downstairs to find something to eat.There were three sandwiches in the kitchen, but they had already gone cold. Hannah heated a cup of milk for herself and carried it upstairs to eat.Just as I took a bite of my sandwich, Hollis sent me a bunch of messages.Hollis: Guess who Madelynn became a mistress for?Hollis: You would never guess!Hannah, of course, couldn't guess. Although she heard some noise last night, she didn't see anyone, so how could she possibly guess who it was.Hannah: I don't know, the ones I knew?Hollis: Not only did I know him, but I was quite familiar with him!Hannah raised an eyebrow: Who is it?Hollis: Derick Murphy.Hannah: ...This person is indeed quite familiar. Derick used to be classmates with Eden before, but this person is a typical playboy. His grades were not good when he was in s
As soon as Hannah got on the car, she couldn't help but look for the cookies Kendall had put down before. Kendall opened a bottle of mineral water for her and said, "Just have a little, I'll take you to have supper."Hannah took a sip of water and hummed softly, "This is my dinner!"What late-night snack? She hasn't eaten a single bite of food since around 1 o'clock in the afternoon until now!I didn't even have dinner, so where did the late-night snack come from?Kendall laughed helplessly and said, "Didn't I ask you to eat just now?""You didn't understand."Hannah touched her little belly and realized that she didn't have the same determination to exercise as Jessica. Moreover, she loved to eat more than Jessica. It was already quite difficult for her to maintain a not-so-obvious belly at the age of thirty.Not to mention the party tonight, she was wearing a fitted dress. If she wasn't careful, her stomach would just pop out. Hannah wouldn't dare to eat anything casually.She didn'
Hannah also didn't dare to answer immediately. She took her phone and started running, running for five or six seconds. She turned into another aisle before she dared to answer Kendall's video call. "Hello?""Where were you?"Kendall at the other end of the line was in a quiet environment, clearly no longer in the lobby.Hannah switched the camera, "I also didn't know where I was, after I came out of the bathroom earlier, I walked for a while and ended up here.""You share in real time, stay where you are, I'm coming over."Kendall paused and said, "Take another picture of your surroundings, is there a room?"Hannah looked around at him again before switching back to the camera and said, "No, but there seems to be a safe passage ahead. Shall I wait for you there?""No need, you stay right there. I'll come over now and hang up first.""Oh oh."Kendall hung up after speaking, and Hannah stood in place holding her phone.Kendall asked her to stay in place, and she didn't want to wander a
Hannah slept until almost ten o'clock, and when she woke up, Kendall was already not in the villa.The weather was nice today, with sunshine.She turned over and reached for her phone, intending to send a message to Hollis, but the phone suddenly rang.Hannah raised an eyebrow and looked at the unfamiliar incoming call on her phone screen. After hesitating for a moment, she finally pressed the answer button and said, "Hello, how can I help you?""Ms. Howell, I am Ricky, Mr. Hawthorne's secretary. Mr. Hawthorne asked me to deliver a dress to you. Ms. Howell, would you be available to receive it later?"Hannah raised her hand and rubbed her temples, sitting up in bed with the blanket in her arms. "When do you think you will arrive?""About ten minutes later.""OK."After hanging up the phone, Hannah immediately got out of bed and went to the bathroom to wash her face and brush her teeth.After changing her clothes, she went downstairs to the kitchen and looked inside. She found that the
Kendall picked a chicken wing for her, "Did you see it?"Hannah looked down and said, "I looked, and it was pretty good.""Well, I will take a look later."He didn't say much and changed the subject, "Harrington Group's anniversary celebration is tomorrow night, are you available?"Hannah glanced at him, thinking of Madelynn from before, and snorted, "Sure, I can go, right?"Kendall chuckled lightly, "I had actually planned to have you come along.""Anniversary celebration, quite grand, why didn't you say it earlier?"If she had spoken earlier, she would have gone to order a custom-made dress.Kendall looked at her with a half-smile, "Was there a difference?"Hannah hummed and said, "Of course there is a difference! There were a lot of people at the company's anniversary celebration, right? And many people brought their female companions, didn't they? As your partner, how can I let someone else's companion steal the limelight from me?"The so-called "people rely on clothing" is not ap
The atmosphere was already set, there was no way Kendall would let her just easily run away.He reached out and grabbed the back of her head, biting her lips first. Then, his peach blossom eyes slightly lifted, and with a smile, he glanced at her eyes and said, "Give me a kiss."His words sounded more like an announcement than a question.Hannah had no room for resistance and was immediately silenced by him, holding her breath.She just hummed a little, but didn't resist.Parting is better than a new marriage.Although it had only been a short two or three days since they last saw each other, Hannah still missed him. Especially when she saw the amount of money in the card yesterday, she was not only surprised but also deeply moved.Kendall spoke casually, but she also understood that the over one billion three thousand pairs was not a small amount for him now.He had separated from the Hawthorne family and was also unwilling to have any connection with his in-laws. From then on, whate
After Hollis left, Hannah didn't check out either. She called the front desk to extend her stay and then went back to sleep.Last night, Hollis dragged me and I cried all night. Hannah, who was in a deep sleep, slept until after three in the afternoon and was awakened by a call from Kendall.The sunlight outside the window was very good, and the sunlight came in through the gaps in the curtains.As Hannah opened her eyes, she was met with a beam of light, causing her eyes to sting.She hummed subconsciously, and Kendall on the other end of the phone asked, "Where did you run into?"Hannah turned around, with her back facing the sunlight, rubbing her eyes and responding, "No, just woke up, the sunlight was shining in my eyes.""Still at the hotel?""Well, last night Hollis kept me up talking until three o'clock, I was so tired."Over the past two years, Hannah hadn't stayed up late much. Last night, however, she rarely slept until three or four in the morning, essentially pulling an al
Hannah closed the door completely and turned around to find Hollis looking at her.Hollis just went to the bathroom and washed his face. Now he is more awake than before. "Did you record it?""Recorded it, do you want to take a look?""Show me, I want to see who that woman is!"Being able to get her phone number, it's possible that she was someone I knew!Hannah handed her the phone and said as she walked inside, "The person who sent you the message should not be this woman, she is an internet celebrity."She walked over to the sofa and sat down, pouring herself a glass of water. "From what I can see now, your situation isn't the worst. I reckon the woman who sent you the text message has also been deceived by Maverick."Hannah took a sip of water and looked up at Hollis, saying, "Did you take any precautions that night? If not, you should go to the hospital for a check-up."It was not her intention to discourage Hollis, people like Maverick might have some kind of illness.Hollis's f
