Hannah snorted. "He settled so much trouble for you before. He probably couldn't sleep last night after knowing that you were Uncle Morgan's daughter."
Jessica shrugged. "What does it have to do with me?" "By the way, Mona said she would treat us to lunch this afternoon," Hannah said. Jessica smiled. "Cool." Mona was seldom so generous. They had worked hard to help her get customers, but she had only given them a membership card. It was already past eleven o'clock when they arrived at the restaurant. Jessica saw Lucas and his friends once she got out of her car. Hannah followed Jessica's gaze and saw Lucas. She quickly looked at Jessica and asked, "It's Lucas. Should we go say hello?" Jessica tilted her head and glanced at her. "Why would we?" With that, Jessica directly turned around and walked into the restaurant before Lucas came over. Hari, who was about to come over and say hello, was stunned when he saw Jessica tAfter calming down, Mona said, "It's part of the reason." If it was not for the fear that Jessica would feel uncomfortable, she would have said it's the main reason. Hearing their words, Jessica raised her eyebrows. "So you guys learned a lot from my failed marriage." Hannah patted Jessica on the shoulder. "That's right! I finally found out that we can't be humble in love." Mona was really good at making up for it. Indeed she was Jessica's close friend. "Hannah, stop. I haven't moved my legs for a long time." Hannah was instantly frightened by Jessica's glance. "Ok, nothing." As they were chatting, the elevator door not far away opened. Terry was in a suit and leather shoes and came out of the elevator then. His secretary followed him. At first glance, he looked like an elite. With his cold face and cold and thin eyes, he looked charming. Jessica met his deep eyes when she looked up. Terry seemed to have known that she
"Then do something interesting." Terry blinked at Jessica. Hearing that, Jessica subconsciously asked, "What interesting thing?" Terry suddenly smiled and his eyes lit up. "Be my girlfriend." If other women heard Terry's words, they would have blushed. But Jessica only felt a shiver in her heart, and she had no other emotions. She stood there with a calm smile. "That is not very interesting." Terry wasn't unhappy about her words. He smiled and said, "Then forget about it." He didn't feel awkward at all when he was rejected. "Night snack?" "Mr. Davison, what would you like to eat?" Terry told Jessica a location that she had never heard of before. He had probably guessed that she did not know it, so he took out his phone to open the Google map for her. Terry was indeed good at seeking fun and picking unusual places. As soon as Jessica followed Terry in, she heard someone greet him. It was an Italian restaurant, an
Jessica cast an indifferent glance at Lucas and then walked past him in her high heels. Just as she walked out and was about to disappear into the darkness, Lucas suddenly said, "Do you think you can make me awkward by doing so?" Jessica suddenly stopped in her tracks and smiled. She looked back at Lucas, "Mr. Thomas, are you talking to me?" Although she was smiling, her eyes remained indifferent. Lucas felt that Jessica's gaze was a bit harsh as she had never looked at him like this before. And her words upset him even more. He frowned and his face turned cold in an instant. "I won't be fooled by your hard—to—get games." Hari could not help but take a deep breath. To tell the truth, Lucas had gone a little too far. Jessica looked at him and laughed in anger, "Hard—to—get games? Lucas, do you think that I still love you? Who made you think so?" As she spoke, her face turned cold. Before Lucas co
Strictly speaking, it was not a bracelet, it was a simple male necklace. Jessica had found it in her wrist after waking up on that night of the mistake four years ago. She had always thought that the necklace belonged to Lucas, so she had worn it all the time as a treasure. Even after the divorce, she decided to give Lucas up, but she was still reluctant to part with the necklace. Apart from that, she wore it to remind herself that she and Lucas were a mistake from the start. But now, Terry told her that the necklace was his, which meant that the person who was with her that night four years ago was Terry, not Lucas. Terry took the necklace back and tied it around his neck. Jessica had been wearing it as a bracelet for more than three years, and now he was wearing it as a necklace. She stood there and looked at the necklace on his neck. After a while, she said, "So I don't own you anything now, right?" Terry didn't say anythi
Jessica was indeed disgusted by Lucas tonight. She had been divorced for so long. Even if Olivia spread rumors everywhere, Jessica just treated them as jokes. To her, the life in the Thomas family had passed and Lucas was only her ex—husband. She did not want to care about who was right and who was wrong anymore. Now that they are divorced, they should be strangers. That night, Lucas didn't believe that she did not push Trissy. It disappointed Jessica the most. Moreover, what Lucas had said just now even caused her to doubt his morality. Jessica looked at the flashing neon lights outside the window. Then she came back to her senses and suddenly remembered something. She turned to ask Terry, who was driving, "Didn't you drink?" Terry slowly stopped the car and waited for the green light. He looked at her and said, "Only a little." Jessica looked at him. "Or did you not drink at all?" Terry did not give her a direct
Jessica called Hannah twice, but she didn't get through, so she called Mona's shop. "Mona!" The receptionist answered the phone, came over, and said in Mona's ear, "Miss Hall wants to talk to Miss Howell." "Got it." Mona responded and looked at Hannah, who was dancing with someone not far away. Mona went on stage and pulled her down. Hannah was a little dissatisfied when she was pulled down. "What are you doing? That handsome guy is interesting!" "Jessica wants you to call her back." For Hannah, good friends were certainly much more important than the handsome guy! Hannah was stunned for a moment. She quickly ran to the seat and checked her phone. She saw two missed calls from Jessica. Her heart skipped a beat. She had a bad premonition. She was right. After hearing Jessica's words, she was completely stunned. Hannah said, "Jessica, didn't I hear it wrong? You said that the person who caused the accident
Looking at the gossip headlines that Hannah had sent her, Jessica felt it was ironic. The headline said, "Old flame over new sweetheart." She was never Lucas' old flame. Hannah was so angry that she trembled. She could not help but curse, "Eden said that almost half of the paparazzi in LA have arrived at your apartment. You'd better not go out today. Lucas is really a son of a bitch!" Hearing Hannah's words, Jessica frowned slightly. She got up and walked to the French window, pulling open the curtains to look downstairs. However, she lived in a high place, so she couldn't see downstairs clearly. Hannah scolded Lucas for a while. After a pause, she suddenly asked, "Jessica, Trissy has returned to America. I heard that she also stayed in that hotel. I suspect that Lucas' new lover is Trissy!" Jessica chuckled when she heard this. "Even if it's not Trissy, can't we do something?" Hannah was stunned for a moment. Then, she sudde
Justin glared at Olivia. "It's all because of you, we have offended the Hall family! Apologize to Jessica now!" "Grandfather, I have already sent an apology online!" "Will you apologize to Jessica or not?" Olivia's face turned pale. She did not dare to refute. "Yes." The more Justin thought about it, the angrier he became, so he asked Olivia to get away. Early in the morning, Thomas' house was filled with resentment and anger. When Jessica returned to the apartment from the supermarket, the gossip on Twitter had completely disappeared, and there was nothing left when she searched about Lucas. Obviously, Lucas had found someone to remove the news. Hannah wanted Eden to continue spreading the news, but Jessica didn't want to bother Eden, so she refused. "No need." Sometimes, something being concealed would attract more suspects. Hannah was puzzled. "Why?" Jessica raised her eyebrows. "Don't you think that i
Jessica thought Terry was just going for a joyride when he said they were going out for a drive, until he led her to the Video Arcade, and then she understood the true meaning of Terry's words "haven't taken her out to play in a long time."She looked at everything shining inside the Video Arcade and felt somewhat surprised, "You... like playing these?"She had completely forgotten about the past events, so she naturally had no idea why Terry had brought her here.Terry smiled and glanced at her, "Hmm, I liked it."He said he liked it, but that "like" didn't seem like an answer to her question, but rather something he said to her.Jessica raised an eyebrow and pretended not to understand his words, she averted her gaze and said, "I didn't expect that, Mr. Davison.""It's not too late to know now."He exchanged the coins and then took her to play everything.The two of them came out of the Video Arcade and it was already past on
The big pot in the kitchen was still warm with hot water. Terry took a basin and filled it with hot water, then carried it back to the room to soak Jessica's feet.Because it rained, not only did the shoes get muddy, but they also got wet from the water.Jessica's socks were all wet, so she took them off and her feet became as cold as ice cubes.Terry held her foot and said, "It's a bit hot, be careful.""Um."Jessica nodded her head and saw him getting up to go out again. "Where are you going?""Take your boots to wash and dry them by the stove."Upon hearing his words, Jessica immediately grabbed him and said, "Stop it for now, aren't your shoes wet too? Let's soak them together."Terry was wearing leather shoes, and those black shoes were already covered in mud.Jessica knew that he had OCD, her gaze fell on his shoes, and her heart felt a little sour.He always seemed to be like this, never speaking up when he
At six o'clock in the morning, the alarm clock rang, and Jessica was awakened. She opened her eyes, and the room was still lit. She hadn't slept well all night and had a slight headache.Terry on the side took the phone, turned off the alarm clock, and glanced outside the window, saying, "It's still dark outside.""Um."Jessica responded, "They arrived around seven o'clock."Yesterday, the funeral service personnel communicated with her and said that it would be best to have the burial before eight o'clock, as it is the local custom.Jessica was in charge of these matters for the first time and didn't know anything. The other party was professional, so she naturally listened to them.Since the burial is scheduled before 8 o'clock, they have to arrive before 7 o'clock, and they have to leave before 7:30.She didn't sleep well. Terry looked at the dark circles under her eyes and said, "You go back to sleep, I'll make breakfast."
Morgan and May arrived a little after four in the afternoon, and Jessica and Terry had already tidied up the rooms they had previously stayed in.There are a total of two rooms, one that Jessica used to live in and one on the side of the yard. Four people were just enough to live in.As soon as Morgan and May entered the room, they saw the wooden coffin placed in the middle of the hall and both of them felt a bit nostalgic.Morgan turned fifty this year, the age of destiny, and increasingly felt that he was no longer young. His energy and physical strength were not as good as before.A few months ago, Roberto was still fine, but now he's gone just like that. Morgan looked at the coffin and couldn't help but sigh."Dad, Mom."Jessica also tidied up her mood and handed two cups of hot water to Morgan and May.May glanced at Jessica and said, "Don't be too sad, Jessica."Jessica smiled and said, "I was indeed feeling down this mor
Roberto didn't like to socialize with people in the village on regular days, and now that he's gone, there is no one coming to the village.The front door of the old house was hung with white paper, which was blown by the wind and tangled together.Terry boiled hot water and brought it to Jessica, saying, "It's windy here."Jessica had been standing at the door for quite a while. The weather today was not very good. It had been gloomy since she woke up in the morning, and it was still gloomy now, almost noon.Jessica took the cup and turned around to look at Terry. "I told you, Roberto's personality, when he's gone, not many people come to see him off."She held the water cup and turned around to walk back.The door was not closed, it was left open, making it convenient for people to come in.But when everyone saw the white paper stuck on the door, they all understood what was going on. Normally, they were not very familiar with what
It was a little after six in the morning, and the sound of a ringing phone echoed in the quiet room, which seemed quite abrupt.Jessica was suddenly awakened, and Terry also heard the phone ringing. He opened his eyes and reached out to turn on the room light when she grabbed her phone.The dark room suddenly became bright, and the light was a bit dazzling. Jessica raised her hand to shield her eyes and answered the phone, "Hello, how are you?"Because I had just been awakened, my voice sounded a bit hoarse.The person on the phone spoke urgently, "Is this Julie? This is Long Town Hospital. Mr. Garrison suddenly had a heart failure just now and was rushed in for resuscitation. Can you come to the hospital?"Jessica's hand trembled slightly, "Okay, I'll be right there."Upon hearing her words, Terry also realized what was going on.He took the clothes beside him and handed them to Jessica. The two of them quickly changed into pajamas,
Jessica walked out of the ward, and there were no medical staff patrolling outside the hospital corridor. Two nurses were sitting at the nurse station, and no one was speaking. The only sound was the footsteps of her shoes on the floor.It was already past 8 o'clock in the evening at this time. She had just bought a sweet potato at the door, but she only ate half of it and couldn't finish it, so she threw it away. After a busy afternoon, she now feels hungry and tired.The person entered the elevator, feeling unusually heavy and uncomfortable.Roberto's words left her speechless. Their relationship couldn't reach the point where she could forcefully demand him to accept treatment. He was unwilling to continue with the therapy, and she had no means at all.Roberto had not put the keys into her bag yet, and Jessica looked down at the keys in the palm of her hand, feeling a bit absent-minded.The elevator door "dinged" and opened in response. She look
Jessica was taken aback for a moment. She pursed her lips and then raised her eyebrows, walking in with a lifted leg. "Roberto, it's only been a few days. How did you manage to get yourself like this?"When she said these words, her tone was relaxed, as if she didn't know anything yet.Roberto looked at her for a moment, then snorted coldly after a while, "How did you know I was here?""Didn't you ask me to come over?"Jessica walked up to the bedside, her footsteps coming to a halt, and raised an eyebrow, "So, should I leave?"With that, she actually turned around and prepared to leave.Roberto, seeing the situation, quickly spoke up, "Stop! Come back to me!"He was only saved last night, and at this moment, even though he tried his best, his voice was still not as strong as before, and there was even a hint of weakness that couldn't keep up.Jessica stopped in her tracks, turned around, and glanced at the medicine packets on
Things quieted down for Heidy and Wilson, and the gossip in the circle also decreased. Jessica and Terry, on the other hand, became busier day by day towards the end of October.The day Jessica received the phone call from Long Town, she happened to be out of LA. During those days, she was coincidentally on a business trip with Wendy.The first time she saw it was an unfamiliar call, she immediately rejected it, until the other person quickly made a second call. Jessica then answered, "Hello, I am Jessica.""Jessica? Aren't you Julie?""Julie," it had been a long time since someone called her by that name, Jessica paused for a moment, "Julie is me.""Oh, well, here's the thing. We have a patient here named Mr. Garrison. He was just resuscitated last night and he's a bit more conscious this morning. He asked me to get in touch with you, Julie."Jessica didn't know anyone named Mr. Garrison, but in Long Town, the only person who knew her as Ju
