If Justin was a cunning and deceitful old man with no moral boundaries, then Maximo was no less cunning.
Terry did not hide his relationship with the Sheppard family from Jessica, but he did not want her to come into contact with those people from the Sheppard family.
So he didn't want to see Maximo, but Maximo had a thicker skin than tree bark, so Terry had to go see him.
He had actually met Maximo once before, but their conversation was extremely unpleasant. Even though Terry and Madelyn had no personal relationship, hearing Maximo's words still disgusted him with the shamelessness of the Sheppard family.
After six or seven years, Maximo came looking for him again, and Terry didn't think it would be anything good.
Maximo came all the way from San Francisco to LA to find him as if he were a cat smelling fish.
Terry glanced at the navigation and stopped the car only after confirming that it was this villa.
These days in LA, it was rai
"Jessica?"At the moment of Jessica's despair, a familiar male voice suddenly came from the side.She froze for a moment, turned her head and saw Terry with medicine on her face and a cast on her hand. Jessica blinked her eyes and realized what had happened. She immediately ran over and hugged her tightly.Terry held her with his uninjured hand and saw the tears on her face. "Why are you crying? My hand isn't broken, it's just fractured."As soon as he finished speaking, a heart-wrenching cry suddenly came from ahead.Terry looked up and saw a woman and an old man falling onto the flatbed covered with a white cloth in front.He suddenly realized and leaned down to give Jessica a kiss, "Did I scare you?"Jessica also saw the scene ahead. At this moment, she also came back to her senses and looked at Terry in front of her, feeling a bit embarrassed.Unfortunately, there were too many tears on her face, and they dripped onto Terry
Terry's car accident really startled Jessica.She couldn't imagine what would have happened if Terry hadn't just come out of the villa area and the car hadn't been driving slowly, how he would have avoided the oncoming car.Due to this unexpected incident, Jessica took a leave of absence in the afternoon.The news of Terry's car accident quickly spread within the circle, with different accounts. Some said Terry's car accident was severe, and he died on the spot; some said Terry's car accident was severe, and both legs were amputated, and he would have to rely on a wheelchair for the rest of his life; there were also some who said Terry's car accident was severe, and he is still unconscious in the intensive care unit of the hospital.Things spread too quickly; Jessica didn't even have time to intercept the messages from Wendy.In the afternoon, around three o'clock, even Morgan in the South town called Jessica to inquire about Terry's situation.
Jessica had a dream where she arrived at the hospital and saw Terry lying on the stretcher that was being wheeled out of the emergency room after unsuccessful resuscitation.She didn't believe it, Terry was perfectly fine, just his right hand was broken.However, Jerry and Wendy came over and advised her to take it easy and accept the changes, Terry has already passed away.She listened to their words, and her legs went weak, and she collapsed onto the flatbed. Tears flowed out of her eyes like a broken dam.She held Terry's hand and kept calling his name, trying to wake him up. She said she was very scared.But Terry on the flatbed never opened his eyes. He seemed to be asleep, but he was sleeping too deeply. No matter how she called him, she couldn't wake him up.Jessica was on the verge of a breakdown, and just as she was feeling hopeless, someone suddenly embraced her. The familiar scent and familiar voice reached her, and she opened her
"Miss, we are studying art. When we go back, I will paint a picture for you and give it to you. Can you leave me your email address, Miss?"The girl was very polite and asked for an email, not a phone number or any other social media account like Line.Jessica didn't refuse and entered her email address on her phone.The two girls repeatedly thanked before leaving, "We won't post your photos online, miss."Terry raised an eyebrow when he heard this and said, "Actually, it doesn't matter if it's revealed."Upon hearing his words, both of the girls who were about to leave were taken aback.Jessica looked embarrassed and said, "It doesn't matter about the back.""Oh, okay. Miss, both you and your boyfriend looked so elegant, even in the photo taken from behind!""Thank you."Jessica smiled and glanced at Terry.The two girls thanked each other again and happily turned around and left.Jessica shifted her gaze
Terry's right hand was broken, so instead of going back to the office after the important meeting, he worked directly in his apartment.After taking a day off, Jessica went back to work at the Hall Group. She was quite busy during this period, and she would come home late. As soon as she arrived home, the meal was already prepared on the dining table.Of course, the meal was naturally not made by Terry. He is skilled, but he couldn't cook with both of his right hand broken.There was a project that required Jessica to go on a business trip, and it was decided at the last minute that Jessica would go.After finishing the meal, Jessica mentioned to Terry about her business trip tomorrow.Terry, who was standing beside her, heard her words and made a slight sound of disapproval, "How many days?""If it's fast, it will take three days; if it's slow, it may take five days."Jessica felt a little guilty under his gaze and couldn't help but
When Terry received Jessica's message, he had just finished changing the medicine.He replied to the message, and Jerry from outside walked in. "Mr. Davison, the family of the driver involved in the accident wants to see you."Terry raised an eyebrow and said, "I didn't see."Did he look like he had a lot of free time?Jerry had already guessed Terry's meaning. "Okay, I will go and refuse now."Terry waved his hand, paying no attention.After Jerry took Terry back to the apartment, he called the family of the driver involved in the accident and said, "I'm sorry, Mrs. Jackson, but our Mr. Davison said that everything is being handled according to legal procedures.""I know that the legal procedures have to be followed, but can't Mr. Davison make an exception and say that my husband didn't escape? They discussed it and agreed to resolve it afterwards!"Drunk driving is already a serious offense, and the other party even fled.
When Terry heard her words, she didn't feel the slightest bit embarrassed. "So, baby, you also know that I knocked over the vinegar jar."He said, looking down and smiling ambiguously, "So, did you still give him your contact information?"Jessica glanced at him and said, "Don't be so stingy. You also said he is the son of the Olsen Group. Who knows, we might have a collaboration in the future. It wouldn't hurt to secure a good friendship in advance."Although Jessica's words may have teased Terry a little, they were also true.She was not really familiar with Rolando, they were just acquaintances in college, and after graduation, Rolando went abroad directly. She didn't pay much attention to his news and didn't even know when he returned to the country.Today we happened to meet each other, so we added each other as friends, which will indeed be convenient for future collaboration.Terry looked at her, with a gentle smile in his peach bloss
Terry finished taking a shower and came out. He originally thought that Jessica had already fallen asleep, but to his surprise, when he looked towards the bed, he found that Jessica was still looking at her phone and hadn't fallen asleep.He raised an eyebrow and walked over, lifting his leg. "Aren't you tired?"I just yawned several times a moment ago.Jessica couldn't calm down for a long time after reading the messages Rolando sent.Upon hearing Terry's voice, she also felt too embarrassed to look at him, after all, her eyes were red, as red as they could be.She used to not be a person who easily shed tears, but ever since she started dating Terry, she seems to have become much more delicate.Terry rarely saw Jessica like this, and he thought she was feeling unwell. He quickly walked to the other side and bent down to lift her head, asking, "Are you feeling unwell?"His gaze fell upon those reddened eyes, and he was taken aback fo
Ginger is still as sharp as ever, and even though Kelvin is clever, he is just a little over one year old. How could he possibly compete with his father?The person was placed into Jessica's arms and immediately hugged her neck tightly without letting go.The son is his own, but watching him cuddling with his wife all the time, Terry still felt a bit dissatisfied.Jessica and Terry went out to play for the afternoon. Although she said she didn't mind Kelvin, after all, he was her own son who she had labored for six or seven hours to give birth to. Now, being held and cuddled by her son, who was calling out "mommy" with every little mouthful, her heart softened and she felt a twinge of guilt."Mom told Kel a bedtime story. Did Kel sleep well?"Kelvin shook his head, "Shower, shower."Terry listened on the side and made a soft click, "He is quite clean."Jessica glanced at him and said, "Go quickly and run a bath for Kel."Terry didn't refuse this. He got up and went into the bathroom,
At that moment, the waiter approached with a glass of juice, and only then did Terry avert his gaze.Jessica was just looking at her phone and didn't notice what Terry was looking at.The bar was still very comfortable, with a cozy environment. The singer on the stage sang slowly and leisurely, without heavy metal music. People's mood could also relax along with it.Jessica and Mona occasionally chatted, three songs passed, and Hannah still hadn't arrived.The hotel where they stayed was not far from this bar. This is not the downtown area, and with good road conditions, it only took fifteen minutes to get here by taxi.It is now 9 o'clock in the evening, and it has been twenty-five minutes since Jessica sent a message to Hannah.Mona also noticed something was wrong, “Why hasn't Hannah arrived yet?"Jessica frowned, "I messaged her just now, but she hasn't replied to me yet."Upon hearing Jessica's words, Mona put down the juice in her hand and took out her phone. "She sent me a mess
Jessica looked at it and couldn't help but exclaim, "So beautiful."As soon as she finished speaking, she heard a deep voice with a hint of laughter coming from behind her, saying, "Very beautiful."Jessica subconsciously turned to look at him and raised her eyebrows slightly, saying, "Isn't it beautiful?""Beautiful."Terry looked at her, seeing herself reflected in her eyes.Jessica only realized at this moment that when he said "beautiful", it was not the same as what she had meant."Not pretty, right?"Seeing that she was not speaking, Terry imitated her and asked a question just like she did earlier.Jessica felt that he was getting worse and worse, asking questions he already knew the answers to.She glanced behind him, and everyone was looking at the distant glow. Jessica's heart started beating faster, and she quickly nibbled on his thin lips.Terry clicked his tongue and tightened the hand resting on her waist, saying, "It doesn't hurt, bite me again."Jessica had thick skin,
Hannah had just arrived in Kelvin's room when she saw Lily soothing him. Kelvin had a very bad temper and was also quite mischievous.After crying for a while, not being able to see my mom and dad, I slowly stopped crying.But he didn't want to stay with Lily, although the crying subsided a little, he still cried from time to time.Hannah just happened to hear the sound of him crying, "Is Kel awake?"Lily saw Hannah and nodded, "She had been awake for a few minutes, crying and looking for her mother."Hannah hummed and walked over, saying, "Stop crying, Kel. Your parents went on a romantic getaway."Upon hearing her words, Kelvin immediately got up and exclaimed, "The sea, the ocean!"His face was still stained with tears, but it didn't stop him from wanting to go out and have fun.Hannah clicked her tongue and reached out to pick up Kelvin, saying, "I'll take you to see the sea."Hannah put him on the ground, "Let's go and see the sea!"Kelvin trotted along with his short legs and we
Although Lily has been taking care of Kelvin, the children, at home, Jessica and Terry try to minimize their overtime and come home to spend time with their child. Therefore, during the day, Lily mainly takes care of Kelvin. In the evening, when Jessica and Terry finish work and come home, they let Lily rest in her room and take care of their son themselves.Kelvin finally started calling "dad" when he was one year and two months old. Since Terry is now mostly responsible for changing his diapers at night, if Kelvin stubbornly refuses to call for help, he just has to endure the smell.Kelvin, who is over one year old, is starting to learn more words. In addition to saying "dad," "mom," "grandpa," and "grandma," he also knows how to command Lily to fetch his toys. Despite his young age, he is quite bossy and mischievous.Kelvin, as a child, learned to speak and gradually learned to walk and run. Curious about everything, he found the large yard in his family's villa insufficient to sat
Jessica ran downstairs and happened to run into Jessica's parents, making her feel a little guilty.May saw her running in a hurry and couldn't help but ask, "Why are you running so fast?"Jessica felt a little embarrassed, "It's nothing, I was just a little hungry."As soon as she finished speaking, Terry came down from upstairs.Jessica glanced back at Terry and when she withdrew her gaze, she met May's eyes. Feeling guilty, Jessica coughed nervously.Luckily, at this time the chef came out holding the midnight snack and said, "Let's have some midnight snack."Jessica hurriedly walked over and looked at the late-night snack on the table. She picked a bowl of vegetarian pasta.May didn't think much about it. She glanced at Terry and said, "You guys go ahead and eat. Both your dad and I had already eaten. We're going to check on Kel."Morgan also nodded and then went upstairs with May, heading towards the nursery.In the living room, there were only Jessica and Terry left. Jessica gla
Stephanie dragged Chad downstairs before she dared to speak up, "Chad, have you gone crazy? Or do you think we haven't suffered enough, why did you go and provoke them!"After the Sheppard family was defeated and investigated, Stephanie's life can be described as falling from heaven to hell.Tanya had already been sentenced for several years, but Terry had her admitted to a mental hospital under the pretext of "mental illness".A few days ago, Stephanie went to see Tanya, who was in a mental hospital. Tanya no longer had even half of her former elegant appearance.The two mother and daughter were separated by the prison-like door. Tanya pleaded with Stephanie not to provoke Terry anymore, as they couldn't afford to mess with him.To my surprise, in just a few days, Chad actually caused trouble at Terry's son's hundred-day banquet.Stephanie chased after, her heart hanging in suspense.She is no longer the same as before. Over the past half year, she has experienced the ups and downs o
Both of them didn't have high expectations for Kel, they just hoped that he would have a safe and joyful life forever.When Kel was 100 days old, he had already grown to nearly sixteen catties.After Jessica gave birth, she enrolled in a fitness class and it took her over a month to regain the looseness in her abdomen.Her weight did not fully return to her pre-pregnancy state, and she was a little heavier than before she got pregnant.But she had a small frame, so even though she gained some weight, she didn't appear fat, just plump.In March, LA was still cold. Jessica wore an open-front cheongsam, with a cream-colored wool shawl draped over her body, showcasing her graceful figure.As soon as Hannah went upstairs, she saw Jessica wearing a cheongsam. Her eyes went straight and she walked over, lifting her leg and carrying a gift. "Jessica, I don't think I've seen you wear a cheongsam much, but you look amazing in it with your figure!"Jessica glanced at her and said, "Didn't you se
Since the day she entered the delivery room, she worked hard, and Terry was no less easy than her.Couples should always support each other, and as for who gives more or who gives less, it is not something that can be measured.Jessica was very grateful that Terry had always put her first since they were together.Even now, even when she has children, her attention and gaze still immediately focus on her.Thinking about all this, Jessica felt that the pain of those seven or eight hours of labor didn't seem so difficult to endure.Terry raised her hand and wiped away the tears at the corner of her eyes, "Are you crying because you're hungry?"He knowingly asked, and Jessica was amused by his words, "It's all your fault!""Well, it's all my fault."He smiled, with gentle eyes, even the gloomy weather couldn't dampen his spirits."I was going downstairs to have a meal!""Can I hug you?"Jessica glanced at him and said, "You better save some energy to hold your son!"That kid, he didn't l
