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
Terry let go of Jessica, furrowed his brows slightly, showing some dissatisfaction."I'll go see who it is."Jessica was placed on the sofa by him, and the missing oxygen slowly started to come back at this moment, and her consciousness gradually returned.After Terry got up and left, Jessica remembered that she had ordered takeout.At this moment, Terry had already come in carrying takeout and said, "Hungry?"His voice was still somewhat deep when he spoke, and as Jessica listened, she could feel her face still burning.She sat up from the sofa and looked at Terry, "Hmm."Her gaze fell on those thin lips, and Jessica couldn't help but frown slightly. She raised her hand and pointed to her own lips, indicating, "Here, there's lipstick."She didn't put on makeup today, she just applied lipstick to brighten up her complexion.Just now, the two of them were in a state of confusion and infatuation, and the lipstick on her li
"Who was Troy?"Jessica had just hung up the phone when the lights in the room suddenly turned on.Terry walked in, raised his hand and touched her cheek, and hummed, "Another cousin of Ms. Howell?"Jessica didn't expect him to still remember Hannah's cousin's incident. She chuckled lightly and said, "You're so stingy, Terry."Terry kicked off his slippers and got into bed, holding her tightly. "It's good to know, baby. If you even glance at another man, I would be so jealous that I could knock over the vinegar jar."He held her hand, from the fingers all the way up to the arm, and it felt quite comfortable.Jessica hummed and said, "Troy was a swindler I knew in high school."Her magic tricks were also learned from Troy Atkinson. Six years ago, when Troy said he wanted to get into the Las Vegas scene, Jessica told Morgan about it, and Morgan introduced him.When Jessica was in college, she went to Las Vegas for fun. But now, T
Terry looked down at Jessica, who was smiling in his arms, and his eyes curved slightly. "What else do you want to hear?"Jessica stopped laughing for a moment, looked at him, and raised an eyebrow, "So, when was the last time you got hit?"Terry touched her long hair and said, "Four years ago."Jessica paused for a moment and asked, "Why?"Four years ago, Terry was already twenty-five, not a little boy anymore. Can Brice still handle him?Terry looked down at her with a half-smile and said, "Because I insisted on going abroad, my dad got angry.""Why were you so determined to go abroad back then?"Jessica immediately realized as soon as she finished speaking. Four years ago, wasn't it the night when, by some twist of fate, she agreed to marry Lucas?She pursed her lips and said, "Because of me?"Terry has never been one to dwell on the past, so now he can naturally bring up the topic in front of Jessica, saying, "Or may
The news of Bennett losing eight billion in Las Vegas quickly spread, and there was no way to keep it from spreading. It was said that he had gone to Las Vegas the day before and was very arrogant at the gambling table, claiming that he was the young master of the Davison Group and had no shortage of money. He wouldn't play in any game with stakes lower than five million.Such bold words were spoken, and that very evening they spread throughout the circle.Bennett gambled all night long. In the first few hours, he won more and lost less. Even the dealer who dealt the cards advised him to quit while he was ahead, but he said, "I can afford to lose."In the end of the second half, out of about twenty rounds, we only won three rounds.Bennett continued to gamble heavily, with each bet larger than the previous one. In the last two rounds, the stakes even reached as high as fifty million.It was a little after four in the morning when Bennett, presumabl
Despite having acquired a lot of knowledge about childbirth, Jessica still felt scared when she was pushed into the delivery room.Afraid of becoming that one in a million, afraid of not being able to keep the baby safe and sound.A multitude of thoughts mixed together, coupled with an increasingly intense feeling of pain, Jessica was at a loss for the first time.She tried hard to calm herself down and listen to the midwife and nurse. Her heart was beating fast, and the pain was making her very uncomfortable.Suddenly, a warm hand held hers, and Jessica instinctively tightened her grip. A familiar scent came from beside her, and all of a sudden, her heart felt much more at ease."Don't be afraid, baby.""You went out!"She didn't want him to see how bloody the birth of life was, and suddenly Jessica became much calmer and stronger.While she still had the strength, she just wanted to quickly finish and safely give birth to the baby.Terry heard this and didn't linger any longer. She
Hannah drove the car to the bottom of the apartment building, parked the car, and looked at Jessica beside her. She deliberately asked, "Do I not need to take you upstairs?"Jessica undid her seatbelt and gave her a glance, "Go have fun."Asking knowingly!Hannah smiled and assumed an obedient and compliant look, saying, "Okay, Miss Hall."Jessica was too lazy to argue with her, so she opened the car door and got out of the car. She walked to the side and waved her hand at her, then turned around and entered the apartment.Hannah kept watching Jessica walk into the apartment from the car, until she couldn't see her figure anymore before driving away.There weren't many people in the elevator at that time. Jessica stood alone in the elevator, thinking about the man she had just seen. She furrowed her brows and took out her phone to call Wendy.Suddenly receiving a call from Jessica, Wendy thought something had happened and nervously said, "Miss Hall?""I just ran into Dominic when I wa
October passed in the blink of an eye. Terry was away on a business trip for the past two days, and as soon as Hannah heard about it, she quickly arranged to meet up with Jessica.She personally drove to Jessica's house and picked her up downstairs. The two of them had hardly seen each other since that day at the Cloud Top.Jessica was about to give birth in just over a month, and her belly was no longer able to hide it.November in LA was biting the tail of autumn, not particularly cold yet, but the evening wind was a bit strong.Jessica was wearing a white woolen knitted long skirt, with a beige coat on top, and a pair of white shoes on her feet. Wendy followed behind her, always on guard in case someone accidentally bumped into her.It was during the rush hour when Jessica, who was heavily pregnant at the time, Wendy was worried about her going downstairs alone.Jessica was wearing white shoes and walking at a moderate pace. Soon, she spotted Hannah in the crowd.Hannah was right n
Susie's strength was completely drained by Lucas's words, and she raised her head in astonishment, saying, "I understand if you blame me, but even if I hadn't interfered in your and Jessica's affair, it might not have worked out."She said, and then smiled sadly, "Lucas, in the end, it's because you can't compare to Terry! If it were Terry, he wouldn't have let Jessica suffer for three years at all!"Since they had already torn their faces apart, Susie didn't need to be polite to him either.The two of them stared at each other, their eyes filled with a deep hatred as if they wished the other person dead.Susie hated Lucas' cruelty, and Lucas hated Susie's viciousness.Susie looked at him and suddenly laughed, "Neither of us is a good person. We both deserve the situation we are in today. You blame me for making Jessica take the blame, but Jessica has been married to you for three years and you never even tried to get to know her!""I admit the consequences I brought upon myself, but
"Mummy."A young and immature male voice sounded, and only then did Susie come back to her senses.She lowered her head and looked at her son, reaching out to touch Denzel's head. She saw the candy in his hand and asked, "Did Auntie give it to you?"Denzel nodded and felt a little embarrassed, "I didn't eat, Mommy.""Go ahead, Auntie praises you for being cute."Susie pursed her lips and led Denzel towards the pharmacy area.The weather in October was getting colder. Jessica, being led by Terry, walked out of the hospital gate and shivered a little as a gust of cold wind blew. Instinctively, she snuggled into Terry's arms.Terry pulled his windbreaker a bit, “Cold?""The wind was strong."The two of them were talking and walking towards the parking lot. Just as they entered the parking lot, Jessica and Terry ran into Lucas, who had just gotten out of his car.This is the first time Jessica and Lucas have faced each other since she regained her memory. It has been about six months sinc
"No."He turned to the side and raised his hand to help her tidy up the stray hair near her ear.Jessica looked at him with a half-smile and said, "Guess whether I believe it or not."Terry chuckled lightly, raising an eyebrow, "I was number 101."Jessica raised an eyebrow and said, "You were quite proud.""Compared to your 275 love letters, I dare not be proud."Jessica was rarely embarrassed, "How did you know?""We have to thank Miss Howell for this."Jessica lightly bit her lip and asked, "When did Hannah tell you?""It wasn't she who told me, it was what I heard."Terry paused for a moment and said, "Of course, it wasn't eavesdropping."Back then, he had just started dating Jessica not long ago. One time, when he and Jessica went to the Cloud Top, he overheard Hannah talking to Jessica about love letters. He happened to listen in and heard Hannah say that Jessica had received two hundred and seventy-five love letters."I haven't seen it, Hannah took it apart."Hannah used to be v
The news of Jessica's pregnancy didn't spread until August. On the day Terry accompanied her for a prenatal check-up, they were photographed by an acquaintance.Jessica was 25 weeks pregnant, and her belly had started to show a slight bump. However, she was wearing a long dress, and if it weren't for being in the obstetrics department, no one would have guessed that she was pregnant.After the news of Jessica's pregnancy spread, Morgan and May received numerous congratulatory phone calls. Many people wanted to show their respect to the Hall family by taking advantage of Jessica's pregnancy.But the Hall family was not lacking money, and Terry was not lacking money either. This flattery is really not a good idea. In case it backfires, it would be even more embarrassing.So after thinking it over, everyone felt that it would be more secure to make a phone call to congratulate.In just three short hours, Morgan had already received nearly twenty phone calls.May was still worried that Mo
"Here you go."This time, without Terry's instructions, Mona prepared baby's breath.Terry took the bouquet and nodded at Mona, saying, "Thank you.""No need to be polite."Romantic love stories in reality, everyone loves to watch.I didn't have love, so it's good to see other people's love!Just now, the bar that was not lively has started to have people coming in one after another.If possible, Mona even wanted Jessica to play the drums again on top of it.Of course, she knew it was impossible.Terry took the flowers and went up on stage, while Jessica was singing, "And with each passing day, this drunkard loves you more and more, until it overflows. I love you the most, and we will be together in this lifetime..."Terry held the flowers and slowly walked towards her from one side.The stage lights shone on the two of them, and from a distance, it looked like a painting.Terry handed the flowers over, he didn't step down, but instead he embraced Jessica's waist, raised his hand and
Without much thought, Hannah took a sip of her cocktail and casually asked, "What's the matter? Why do you have to make such a big deal out of it?"Jessica smiled and said, "It's nothing major, just wanted to let you know that I was pregnant.""Oh, it really wasn't a big deal either."As soon as Hannah finished speaking, people reacted. Her hand holding the cup loosened in fright, and the cup fell directly from her hand, hitting the ground with a "crash" and shattering.Hannah couldn't care less about that. She lowered her head and looked at Jessica's belly, reaching out to touch it, but she didn't feel anything, “Oh my god, you're pregnant? How long have you been pregnant? Why can't I feel anything?"Jessica immediately slapped her hand away, saying, "It's only been over twenty weeks, what can you feel?!"Mona on the side, however, remained calm, “Congratulations to you."Jessica clicked her tongue and said, "Why do you seem completely unsurprised?"Mona blinked her eyes and said, "G
