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!
"Ah ah ah! What a sweet drama of the century! I went dancing and ended up with a stomach full of dog food!""Boohoo, may I ask where can I find a boyfriend like Ms. Hall's boyfriend?""Is this Ms. Hall the same Ms. Hall who was proposed to on the screen not long ago?""You mentioned it and it all came rushing back to me, the joy of love at first sight in my youth, the longed-for future, and the unwavering belief! I actually saw the sequel at Cloud Top!"***When Jessica came down from the stage, her face was as hot as if it had been roasted by fire.She reached out and took a glass of juice that no one had drunk before, then tilted her head back and drank it all in one gulp.Terry on the stage was still singing, until the end of the song, his gaze was always following Jessica.Hannah felt her teeth ache as she watched, and Lance couldn't help but say, "Look at you, still causing trouble. Now, I'm shoving handfuls of dog food in
Jessica had already woken up and was sitting on the bed, rubbing her eyes.Seeing him come in from outside with his phone, I was a little curious and asked, "What time did you wake up?"Even though we stayed up late together, why was Terry always able to wake up earlier than her and not feel tired?Last night, the two of them came back from Cloud Top and it was already past one o'clock in the morning. They finished taking a shower around two o'clock in the morning.Jessica hadn't slept this late in a long time. She slept straight through until after nine o'clock, and she still felt heavy-headed and not very energetic."Just woke up."He smiled and walked over to hand her the phone, saying, "Just now, my uncle called and I answered."Jessica paused for a moment and asked, "What did my dad say?""He saw the video of me singing to you last night, praised me for singing well, and asked me about my hand incidentally."Jessica
After hanging up the phone, both of them instinctively looked at each other and almost simultaneously spoke."Justin, he...""Justin was critically ill..."Jessica burst into laughter first, "Jerry's phone?"Terry looked down at her, lips curled up, and said, "Wendy's phone?"The two of them locked eyes for a second, and Jessica spoke first, "It seems like we received the same information."Terry led her out, and the car was parked in the open-air parking lot outside the hotel.Although Terry's right hand had already had the cast removed, the doctor advised him to rest for another half month before driving again.So tonight, the task of driving naturally fell on Jessica's shoulders.The two got in the car, Jessica fastened her seatbelt and glanced at Terry, saying, "A few days before my birthday, Justin was also critically ill. It's only been about ten days since this month started, and this is already Justin's second cr
After having breakfast, Jessica drove and dropped Terry off at Sharp Technology before driving back to the Hall Group.Terry had originally planned to have Jerry send a driver to pick up Jessica. However, Jessica found it troublesome. Fortunately, Sharp Technology was not far from the Hall Group. She dropped him off at Sharp Technology first and then returned to the Hall Group herself. It was only a ten-minute matter.Both of them had morning meetings today, and Justin's death had a significant impact in LA.Jessica heard the employees discussing the matter in the elevator, but they were only talking about how Justin's will would distribute the Thomas family's assets. After all, besides Lucas and Olivia, who were Louis' son and daughter, Oscar was also considered a son of the Thomas family after he recognized his true identity.No matter what, Justin would never leave the descendants of the Thomas family with nothing.Jessica found it quite interes
Amanda wasn't angry either. "Ms. Hall is right, we were kicked out of the Thomas family, and it seems like it has nothing to do with you. However, if I'm not mistaken, Mr. Davison's relationship with the Sheppard family should be similar to Oscar's relationship with the Thomas family, right?"Jessica didn't expect Amanda to be so smart. She didn't like smart people who schemed against her. "Ms. Ritter is really clever, but there is a difference between Terry's relationship with the Sheppard family and Oscar's relationship with the Thomas family. Terry's birth mother is the legitimate Mrs. Sheppard."And Oscar was just a bastard.Of course, Jessica did not utter the more offensive words.Amanda's face stiffened for a moment, but only for a moment, and she quickly returned to normal. "Since Mr. Davison is a member of the Sheppard family, I think Chad, Ms. Hall, you and Mr. Davison might want to be cautious, perhaps?""I heard that Mr. Davison had a l
"Have the two of them already gotten married?""I haven't met the parents yet, but we are planning to get engaged and get married next year.""Wow, congratulations in advance to both of you? I can see that you two are so compatible, have you been together for a long time?""Not very long, 145 days, but I have liked her for thirteen years.""Do you remember it so clearly? Was it at the request of your girlfriend?""No, it was me who felt that every day I spent with my girlfriend was meaningful.""Oh my goodness, Mr. Davison, were you feeding dog food?""Is it not allowed?""Hahaha, sure, sure."Listen, Terry was answering with what words.Jessica stood beside him, the heat on her face never dissipating.Seeing Terry was about to reveal the past secret of her unrequited love, Jessica finally couldn't bear it anymore and said, "I'm going home."The two of them were on stage for nearly five minutes, and
Justin was buried on the third day after his death, which means he will be buried tomorrow.Jessica was in a very good mood early in the morning, and the weather was also very nice. She had a morning meeting and went back to the company with Terry after having breakfast together.The Hall family and the Thomas family used to have a good relationship, but ever since Jessica and Lucas got divorced, they have completely fallen out.The surface-level friendliness still existed, but for events like this funeral, the Hall family would not send anyone, not even providing the Thomas family with the bare minimum of dignity.Since Justin's death, not a single member of the Hall family has expressed condolences.But the incident back then was so big that everyone in the circle knew about it.Although the Hall family and the Thomas family had a falling out, the Thomas family still had many acquaintances in the business world. Not to mention Justin's cha
Jessica didn't speak, but her meaning was clear.Susie suddenly laughed, "Well, for this kind of thing, if someone is determined to investigate, how can I hide it?"Seeing Jessica not responding, Susie also stopped talking and turned around to leave the room.Jessica raised an eyebrow and said, "Didn't you tell Lucas?"Susie, standing by the door, paused for a moment. "He had no love for me, only hatred. Let him know that he will only hurt himself."Jessica was just curious, she didn't have the enthusiastic idea of giving advice to others, "Goodbye, Ms. Stone.""Goodbye."This time, neither of them said anything anymore.Susie opened the door and walked away directly.Jessica watched her back and picked up the pen again, twirling it in her hand.Susie still had something to say, but four years ago, she was also a victim, and Jessica didn't have the capacity to forgive yet.She did not personally deal with S
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
