Perhaps because she had learned about things from the past that she had never paid attention to before, Jessica had a night full of scattered dreams.
All those dreams were all about Terry, seeming real and unreal, making her unable to even distinguish whether she was in the dream or in reality.
"Baby?"
Hearing a familiar male voice, Jessica furrowed her brow, feeling like she was still in a dream, yet also feeling like she had already returned to reality.
Jessica didn't open her eyes until she felt a slight chill on her face.
As soon as Jessica opened her eyes, she saw Terry's face right in front of her.
She blinked her eyes and couldn't react for a moment.
Terry withdrew his hand and gently rubbed her cheek, saying, "It's eight o'clock. If you don't get up soon, darling, you'll be late for work."
By the way, today is Friday and she had to go back to the company.
Jessica came to her senses and sat up in bed, propping her
He got closer, his left hand had already landed on her waist, rubbing it through the clothes, barely noticeable.Jessica felt an itch around her waist, and instinctively wanted to avoid his hand, but he was right behind her, and she couldn't escape."Hmm?"Seeing her silent, Terry's hand tightened slightly, resting on her waist, and Jessica's heart started beating faster and faster.She reached out to push his hand away, saying, "Stop it.""Tsk, I just wanted to give my sweetheart a massage."He said as he exerted force on the hand that was clasped around her waist, lifting her up in one go.Jessica was shocked by his action and instinctively exclaimed, "Terry!"She was afraid of touching his injured right hand, so she could only tightly hold onto his neck.Terry carried her and left the study, but returned to the master bedroom after a few steps.He placed her onto the bed, and Jessica fell onto it. Just as she s
As soon as Terry's video was released, online comments instantly reversed.Jessica only glanced at her phone and didn't pay much attention to this matter. Terry had told her from the beginning not to worry about it.Today Terry's hand had to go to the hospital for a follow-up, so Jessica took the afternoon off to accompany Terry to the hospital.It has been nearly ten days since Terry's hand was fractured. Today is the second follow-up examination, and everything is normal. The cast can be removed in another half a month. However, since it is a fracture, it will take more than three months to fully recover.Coming out of the hospital, the originally sunny sky suddenly darkened, with a drizzle falling from the sky. The rain was not heavy, just a light drizzle.She reached out and felt it, "The rain wasn't very heavy, let's run to the parking lot."Jessica spoke and immediately grasped his left hand, leading him out of the misty rain.F
Jessica stopped swirling her wine glass and bent down, looking straight at Stephanie. "Yeah, it's a coincidence. I happened to hear everything Ms. Sheppard said just now too."As soon as Jessica said this, Stephanie's friend said discontentedly, "How dare you eavesdrop on our conversation? Are you crazy?"Jessica glanced at the woman indifferently and ignored her, saying, "It seems that Ms. Sheppard didn't take my good advice last time. But after a few days of not seeing her, Ms. Sheppard's mouth has become even more foul. Since that's the case, let me help you rinse your mouth, Ms. Sheppard.""What do you want to do? This is a public place - ah!"Stephanie hadn't even spoken yet when Jessica pinched her cheeks, causing her to open her mouth in pain. In the next second, Jessica raised her hand and splashed the juice from her cup towards Stephanie's mouth.Some juice splashed into Stephanie's mouth, but most of it splashed onto her face, instantly f
On April 26th, the Thomas family's Lucas and the Stone family's Susie got married.The wedding was held at the largest seven-star hotel in LA, and the Thomas family and the Stone family got married, making it a grand occasion.When Jessica and Terry arrived, the outside of the hotel was already filled with luxury cars waiting to enter.They didn't come early. Jessica and Terry came after dinner. The wedding starts at 7.30, and it's already 7 o'clock now.The car in front was driving in one minute per car, and by the time it was Jessica's turn, it was already 7.10.After parking the car, Jessica and Terry walked around to the trunk.Jessica looked at the two gifts placed side by side there and couldn't help but smile.I wonder how Lucas felt when he saw the "early birth of a noble child" she gave him and the "many children, much happiness" Terry gave him later.If she were Lucas, she would probably want to kick them out.
Lucas got married, although it was his second marriage, the wedding was grandly held with a large number of guests attending. Just the toasting alone took nearly two hours.Justin was not feeling well, so naturally he couldn't stay at the hotel with the newcomers for so long.Not long after Terry and Jessica left, Justin couldn't hold on any longer and had Dwayne support him as they left through the back door of the venue.After the toast, Lucas directly handed over the following matters to Vincent.As the best man, Hari drank a lot of alcohol and, looking at Lucas, became much bolder. "Lucas, did you see the gift that Jessica and Terry gave?"Lucas also drank a lot of alcohol, but he was still sober.He heard Hari's words and then thought about the gift Terry had mentioned specifically while toasting earlier. Without a doubt, he knew it was not a good gift.Just then, Susie on the side spoke up and said, "The gifts from Ms. Hall and
Jessica raised an eyebrow and followed him up to the third floor.On the third floor, there was only a living room and a master bedroom. As soon as Jessica went up, she saw the drum set placed behind the white sofa.Jessica was a little surprised, "You can play the drums too?"Terry, of course, did not know how to play the drums. He looked down at her and said, "I don't know how."He smiled and said, "But my baby could."Jessica glanced at him, lifted her leg and walked over. Only when she walked over did she realize that this drum set was quite impressive.This drum set was the last drum set carefully crafted by AR company before it went bankrupt. Many master's signatures were engraved on the drum set, making it the last surviving product of AR.After the bankruptcy of the AR company at the beginning of the new century, this drum set was bought by an anonymous buyer for $340,000. Ten years ago, for some unknown reason, this drum set
As she left the yard, Jessica glanced at Terry and said, "Why did you provoke him?"Terry hummed and said, "He was staring at you."Lucas got married, yet he still shamelessly stared at Jessica. It would have been fine if he ignored Susie, but how could he treat her like a dead person?Since he didn't let him have a good time, naturally he wouldn't let him have an easy time either.Jessica was taken aback, "Mrs. Thomas was right beside him."Terry lowered his head and looked at her with a half-smile, "Why did he marry Susie, don't you know, darling?"Jessica smiled and had to change the subject. "Shall we go to Star Lake Villa? Don't we need to give them a heads-up in advance?"She knew very well that if it weren't for Susie having the Thomas family's child in her hands, Justin would not have forced Lucas to marry Susie.Justin was always getting older, but he wasn't completely senile. Although there were some incidents involvi
Hannah did not lie. Their small group was actually a small band. Every year on Jessica's birthday, Hannah and Lance Caesar would go on stage with a few others to sing a song for Jessica.Hannah also had a sudden impulse today. Originally, she was prepared to go up with Lance. Mona's staff had already set up the microphone. However, when the conversation turned to herself, she was eager to change the topic and successfully divert the attention. With a quick thought, she came up with the idea of having Terry go up to sing.Although it was initially proposed in a hurry, when Terry agreed, everyone in the private room was quite excited.Hannah was the type of person who enjoyed watching the excitement and didn't mind getting involved in big matters. She had managed to avoid the topic herself by using Terry as a distraction, but now that Terry had agreed so easily, she felt unsatisfied.Watching Terry take the microphone, she suddenly shouted, "Wait a minute!
Kendall glanced at her sideways and said, "Isn't it obvious?"Hannah, of course, knew that he was looking at her, but she just wanted to ask and confirm."This photographer was quite good at taking photos."Kendall's gaze was quite affectionate.She looked at the photo for a while again, and then happily put it down and looked at other photos.However, there was only one photo that was captured so well, the rest were mostly intentionally posed and the outcome was good.Hannah had been flipping through hundreds of photos for over three hours when Kendall finally took the album from her hands and forcefully carried her away, saying, "Go take a shower, if you don't shower now, you won't be able to wake up tomorrow."Hannah hooked her arm around his neck, raised an eyebrow, and looked at him. "Don't you like the photo? Why aren't you looking at it?""There was plenty of time to take a slow look later."Hannah clicked her ton
Hannah was really happy today. The news of Gemma's passing had been affecting her and Kendall's mood these past few days.When I returned to the company today, I learned that we had signed such a big project. Naturally, everyone was happy no matter who it was.During the dinner, Hannah drank a bottle of beer and couldn't drive back home, so she had to ask Kendall to come and pick her up.More than two months ago, she and Kendall announced their marriage by sending out wedding candies, and everyone knew about the wedding.However, many people in the company had never seen what Kendall looked like. After the dinner, they all gossiped and stood on the roadside, waiting for someone to show up.Hannah rarely felt embarrassed, "Why don't you go back? It's already late, you won't be able to wake up tomorrow.""Ms. Howell, rest assured, I set more than ten alarms. It was absolutely impossible for me to be late for work!""Was Ms. Howell worri
Hannah and Kendall returned to the villa late in the evening, feeling hungry and impatient as the takeaway they had ordered in advance had not arrived yet. They also got wet when they rushed inside."Go take a shower first."Kendall handed her a cup of warm water and gestured for her to go upstairs.The rain was pouring heavily, and it was still pitter-pattering down at the moment. Hannah also felt a bit cold.She drank a few sips of water, then she put down the cup and went upstairs to change clothes and take a shower.Hannah was both hungry and cold, so she took a hot shower and then went downstairs.Kendall just came in with an umbrella, carrying takeout. "You go ahead and eat, I'll go upstairs and change into a fresh set of clothes."Hannah walked over to the dining table and sat down, watching him take out and arrange everything.Kendall placed the chicken soup in front of her, "Drink the soup first, so it doesn't get cold
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
