Luckily, the car arrived at the apartment building quickly. Los Angeles was getting colder and colder after January, especially at night.
Jessica wore a dress today, although she had a coat on, the heater was on in the car, so she didn't feel cold inside the car, but as soon as she stepped outside, she couldn't resist the chilly wind for a few seconds.
Terry came over and helped her open the car door, then he immediately bent down and lifted her up in his arms.
Jessica felt a little embarrassed and pushed him away with her hand, saying, "I'll walk by myself."
Terry freed one hand and pulled up his collar. "There, it's covered."
Jessica was taken aback as she watched him reach out and take her high heels. She felt a warm sensation flow through her chest.
Jessica stopped struggling and nestled in his arms, allowing him to lift her up and walk towards the apartment.
The wind was strong at night, but Terry felt warm in his arms.
Th
Late at night, a black sedan raced along the road.Twenty minutes later, the car stopped in front of Lucas' mansion. Terry parked the car, opened the door, and got out.On a cold night, he seemed completely unaware, only feeling a burning sensation all over his body.The villa's third floor was lit up, indicating that Lucas was obviously not asleep.Terry directly jumped over the gate and entered the villa. The villa alarm blared "woo woo woo", startling the wild cat hiding in the bushes, causing it to jump up suddenly.Lucas listened to the alarm sound, his face darkened, and he walked to the balcony.Just as he lowered his head, he saw Terry standing inside his own balcony.Lucas frowned and turned around, then went downstairs.Terry didn't stand at the entrance door for long when the door was opened. Lucas, who was inside the door, looked at him with a displeased expression and asked, "What are you here for?"Terry ho
Jessica looked at him, momentarily speechless.Terry moved forward with the keyboard, moved to the front of the bed, and pulled her hand. "I'm sorry, baby, I was wrong."Jessica looked at him and said, "Why are you kneeling on the keyboard?"She said, reaching out and giving him a pull, "Get up."Always pretending to be pitiful, she really thought that I couldn't see through it!But there was no way, she would only respond to gentle persuasion.Terry didn't get up. "If you're not angry anymore, then I'll get up."Jessica couldn't help but cry and laugh, "Don't break the keyboard by kneeling on it."Upon hearing her words, Terry raised an eyebrow and said, "So, should I kneel with a faulty keyboard then?"Jessica made him laugh and pulled him directly, saying, "I wasn't angry, get up quickly!"This time, Terry didn't refuse and stood up from the keyboard, following her strength.He not only stood up, but als
Jessica was carried into the bathroom by him, and she was placed on the marble countertop above the washbasin. The icy touch came from her thighs, and she instinctively wanted to jump off from there.However, the next second, Terry turned on the showerhead and turned around to embrace her, leaning down to give her a kiss.He kissed her fiercely and aggressively, but Jessica only hummed in response, as all her breath and sound were suppressed by him.The hot water coming out of the shower instantly warmed up the entire bathroom, and Jessica was kissed until she felt hot all over.Terry rolled up and took off the sweater on his body directly. He casually threw the clothes on the ground. Jessica glanced at him and felt a bit dissatisfied. She bit her lip and asked, "What are you looking at, baby?"Jessica still had some willpower left. When she heard his words, she slightly raised her gaze and looked at him, her eyes meeting his peach blossom eyes. Sh
Morgan walked to the door and also saw Terry beside Jessica.He initially had some reservations about Terry as a person, after all, there were too many tabloid stories about Terry.But over the past year, Terry has been completely clean, although he still has some dissatisfaction, but Jessica likes it, so he naturally has no objections.Jessica and Lucas got divorced, and Morgan could be said to be the happiest one.In theory, he should be happy that his daughter has found a home again.But Morgan couldn't be happy. All in all, it had only been three months since Jessica officially started dating Terry, and she already brought him home for the New Year.As the old father, Morgan and May had completely opposite feelings.May was always worried that after Jessica and Lucas divorced, being alone in LA, the people from the Thomas family would take advantage of Jessica.Now, Jessica has Terry by her side. Terry had risked his life t
Jessica knew that Terry had prepared many gifts, but he had never asked her what Morgan and May liked. At first, Jessica thought that there might be some skincare products, cigarettes and alcohol, luxury watches, as Terry, being a show-off, was likely to give expensive things.But she never expected that everything inside was what her parents liked.And, she had just told Terry yesterday that she would bring him back to meet her parents.In just one evening, Terry had prepared so thoroughly and thoughtfully that it is imaginable he had long planned for this day.Jessica didn't know how to describe her feelings. She was very happy, but at the same time, she felt like crying.She looked at May's happy expression and Morgan's suppressed smile, and couldn't help but recall the strange and awkward expressions on her parents' faces four years ago when she proposed to marry Lucas.The contrast before and after was striking, and she felt a profound
Jessica was lifted up and, half asleep, saw Terry. Subconsciously, she reached out and hooked her hand around his neck, nuzzling into his embrace, saying, "Terry."Terry's heart was filled with tenderness, and for a moment, he forgot that Morgan and May were right beside him. He lowered his head and gently kissed the person in his arms, saying, "Darling, go back to sleep."The person in my arms hummed, didn't say anything, and quickly fell back asleep.Morgan's teeth ached as he gritted them and muttered, "This guy, he really knows how to take advantage!"May wiped away the tears that had welled up in the corner of her eye and couldn't help but laugh as she looked at her husband. "Why are you getting worked up over nothing? Jessica depends on Terry, which proves that Terry is good to her in general."Morgan still felt heartbroken. "That was my precious daughter.""You may be precious, but Jessica also had to get married."Morgan natur
Terry's reasons were indeed sufficient and also very convincing.Morgan could also tell that he was not lying, in fact, Terry had no need to lie.However, as a father, this mishap caused lifelong psychological damage to Jessica, and he was ultimately angry and dissatisfied. "Since you liked Jessica and you were the one with her that night, why didn't you come forward and pursue Jessica afterwards?"Terry was naturally upset about this matter. "Uncle, Lucas and I used to be good friends."Even though they had a falling out later, he never thought about competing with him for Jessica.Terry has always been proud and confident, but tonight in front of Morgan, he showed a hint of pain. "I have liked Jessica since my freshman year. During my senior year, I saw Jessica pass by our school gate many times without any intention. I could also tell that she liked Lucas.""That night was just a series of unfortunate events. She married Lucas because he
Jessica and Hannah hadn't seen each other for a long time. This time, when they went out, Hannah insisted on not letting Jessica leave early. Jessica could only watch as Hannah drank too much and sang until her voice cracked. She was tormented until after one o'clock in the morning, when Hannah couldn't bear it anymore and said, "Let's call it a night."It was almost 2 am when I got back home. It was too noisy in the bar earlier, so I didn't even hear Terry's phone call.Looking at the four missed calls on her phone, Jessica felt a wave of guilt.Terry was probably already asleep at this point. Jessica didn't call back; she just sent a message on Line.As soon as the message was sent, the phone started ringing.Jessica was a little surprised, "It's so late, why haven't you gone to sleep yet?""You didn't come home, I couldn't sleep."He made a pun, and Jessica was taken aback. "I just got home, and Hannah, she had too much to drink, a
Foster originally thought that his memory would never fully recover for the rest of his life, but a car accident in the third year after immigrating made him go through the gates of death again, but also returned all of his lost memories.Samuel was taken aback for a moment when he saw the look in her eyes and said, "Don't tell me you've lost your memory again."There were many wounds on his body. Foster tried to get up, but he found himself very heavy.Upon seeing the situation, Samuel also became afraid and quickly spoke, "Don't move, we finally got out of the ICU, don't go back again."Foster did not move anymore, he turned his head and looked outside the window of the ward.The weather today was very nice, just like the day eight years ago when he left.That day, he left carrying a family grudge, thinking that Hannah was just an accident.Eight years later, their revenge had been avenged, and Hannah had long since married.
On the day of Gemma's seventh birthday, Hannah and Kendall went to the park and set up a tent. They invited Georgia and brought a small grill. The three of them had a pleasant afternoon.Georgia also realized at that time that Gemma had actually been looking forward to going camping with them in a couple of days when she left.Today, we went camping, which fulfilled Gemma's unfinished wish.Gemma left, and the rest of the people had to continue living their lives.Kendall had originally taken a vacation for over a month, intending to return to the company only after the two of them got married and officially ended their leave.Now Gemma couldn't wait for his and Hannah's wedding, so he left. There was still nearly a month left, and Kendall asked Hannah to stay with Georgia on the South side for a while, as he was going abroad.He went abroad to meet the senior executives of the Harrington Group, who had been overseas all along. After that, h
After the cremation was completed, the staff asked Kendall to pick up the bones.Without waiting for Kendall to speak, she immediately refused.She couldn't understand this twisted "service". The loss of a loved one is already enough to make people feel desperate and miserable, and after cremation, they actually make people go and pick up the bones.Even though it was just symbolically picking one or two, it still remained incomprehensible.This was simply cruel and incomprehensible.The people in charge of the cemetery burial had already made arrangements. After leaving the funeral home, the group followed the car to the cemetery.The location of Gemma's grave was very good, and the photo on the tombstone showed her in her thirties, looking young, elegant, and beautiful.The urn was placed inside, the tomb was buried, and everything came to a complete end here.Hannah looked up at the distant sky with red eyes.The weat
Hannah really had no appetite and couldn't continue eating after a few bites.She lowered her head and drank the chicken soup that Gemma had specially instructed the aunt to stew before leaving. Tears fell directly into the soup.In fact, there wasn't much deep emotion between her and Gemma, but during this time, listening to her talk about many childhood things, now that she's gone, this sudden blow has made Hannah unable to bear it.She lowered her head, trying hard to calm her emotions, but the more she tried, the more uncomfortable she felt.Finally, she couldn't take it anymore and got up to go to the bathroom.Hannah stayed in the bathroom for a while before she came out.At that time, Georgia and Jaylen also came over.The sky had already turned completely dark when Georgia and Jaylen stepped in, guided by the moonlight."Where was your mother?"Georgia looked relatively calm and, looking at Kendall, asked a quest
Kendall quickly bought everything and brought it back.Recently, Gemma actually couldn't eat much. She relied on nutrient fluids and some soup to maintain the most basic nutrition.She was rare in the mood to eat something at the moment, although she didn't eat much, she tried a little bit of everything."This sausage isn't that delicious, why do so many children like to eat it?"Gemma was particularly puzzled. It smelled quite fragrant, but when she tasted it, it was really average.Hannah smiled and said, "Probably because parents didn't allow us to eat it often, so it tasted better.""Hannah's point does make some sense,"She said, sighing, "In fact, that's just how people are, no matter who they are or how old they are, there's always a bit of rebellion. The more others try to stop you from doing something, the more you want to do it."And she herself, wasn't she like this too?The group of people started walking bac
After Kendall returned to the South town, Gemma visibly became much happier.Kendall had everything arranged for work. After returning from this vacation, unless there was a necessary emergency, he wouldn't even answer a work phone call.Every day, Hannah and I would go to Gemma's place for meals. In the evening, when the sun was setting, the two of us would push Gemma for a walk outside the villa.Blaine did come to see Gemma once, probably after her serious illness. Gemma also let go of a lot and didn't feel the same way about Blaine as before.After so many years since their divorce, this is the first time they sat down to have a proper conversation.After Konnor's death, Kendall was unwilling to inherit everything from the Hawthorne family, but the shares he returned did not fall into his hands, nor did they fall into Jeffrey's hands.Nowadays, Jeffrey is just a nobody.Blaine's days were looking bright, but all was in Kendall's h
Kendall knew that he couldn't argue with Hannah, and if they continued to argue, they would definitely fight.He didn't speak anymore, took a few sips of hot drink, and then closed his eyes to take a nap.He didn't really have a good rest during this period of time. In order to rush over, he had been working overtime for five consecutive nights.The carriage was quiet with no one speaking. After the train got on the expressway, Hannah glanced at Kendall beside her.The person had already fallen asleep.She curled her lips slightly, knowing that this person was stubborn.Twenty minutes later, the car drove into the parking lot.Hannah drove the car well, while Kendall showed no signs of waking up.She took out her phone, checked the time, and it was already past eleven.Although Kendall was sleeping soundly, she didn't want to wake the person up, but she couldn't let him sleep in the car all the time, could she?Ha
Gemma woke up for the second time, and she stayed awake for a little longer, but not for too long. She managed to stay awake for about twenty minutes before falling asleep again.Hannah and Kendall stayed at the hospital until after 8 o'clock in the evening, when Gemma woke up again.When she woke up this time, she was feeling better, although she still couldn't speak very fluently, but much better than during the day.In the evening, Georgia brought dinner over, along with some soup.Kendall fed Gemma half a bowl of chicken soup and had a conversation with her before they left the hospital.It was very dark, and the two of them had already arrived home at nine o'clock.Hannah remembered Kendall's plan to return to LA tomorrow and couldn't help but ask, "What time is your flight tomorrow?""Around 7 o'clock in the morning, a bit early, I drove directly to the airport.""Okay."She took the cup from his hand and lowered h
When Hannah woke up, Kendall was already not in bed.Although I slept for a while, I didn't sleep well last night, and it is difficult to make up for it with a nap during the day.As soon as she got up, Hannah felt a bit dizzy. She picked up the phone beside her and realized it was already past twelve o'clock.She and Kendall didn't get home until 8 o'clock, and they only slept for four hours.I don't know how long Kendall slept.She sat on the bed for a while, and only got up and left the room after she woke up.Walking into the living room, Hannah saw Kendall on the phone.She took a glance, didn't walk over, and went to the countertop of the open kitchen to pour herself a glass of water. While drinking, she messaged Georgia, asking about Gemma's current situation that day.The message had been sent for a while, but Georgia did not reply.She had just looked up when Kendall had finished the call.The two of them
