After 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
Hari finally drove away. Hearing the sound of a car engine from downstairs, Lucas, who was sitting on the sofa, slowly opened his eyes. Hari had finally left, so nobody would disturb him anymore. Yet Hari's question still lingered on in Lucas' mind. How came Lucas went to Jessica's apartment? Even Lucas himself had no idea. Last night, Luna had a high fever. Lucas went over and stayed until midnight when her fever was gone. Lucas then drove his car back to the Thomas villa. Yet somehow he headed for Jessica's apartment and stopped there. Jessica's apartment was near the road in the downtown area. It was past 2 a.m. Lucas pulled up his car on the roadside. When he looked up, he saw the apartment building where Jessica lived. Lucas knew that Jessica liked him not long after they got married. Lucas actually never thought of divorcing Jessica so quickly. It was probably because Jessica made a satisfying Mrs. Thomas. Though
The Howell family and the Hawthorne family had been neighbors for so many years. When Hannah was just born, Georgia said that Kendall's mother would come to the Howell family every day, saying that she just wanted to have a daughter.Later, as she grew up a little, Kendall's mom would always mention how envious she was of Georgia for having a daughter like her.As she grew older, she even mentioned, intentionally or unintentionally, about having her and Kendall become doll siblings.However, Georgia did not agree and has always been refusing.Ever since Kendall's parents divorced, Hannah hasn't seen Kendall's mom much.I didn't expect that this time, Kendall's mom would call her directly.The person on the phone seemed to have changed, as soon as they spoke, they asked her if Kendall was with her.Hannah didn't feel anything was wrong at first, and politely explained that she was on a business trip.No sooner had she finished speaking than the woman on the other end of the phone sudde
It was a dinner party in the evening, and Hannah returned to her hotel room after 9 o'clock at night.At tonight's dinner party, she was offered quite a few drinks, even though it was just red wine with a moderate alcohol content. However, Hannah hasn't really been drinking for over half a year.At that moment, the person returned to the hotel room and didn't feel like taking a shower. They collapsed on the sofa and just wanted to sleep.Sophia worried about her and, not knowing where she got it from, made her a cup of honey water."Ms. Howell, drink some honey water slowly."Hannah squinted her eyes and looked at Sophia, then smiled and said, "Sophia, was I great today?""Yes, yes, Ms. Howell performed really well today!"Sophia had been Hannah's secretary for almost three years, so she knew Hannah quite well.During this period, Hannah suddenly made great progress, which surprised everyone in their company.Sophia knew that Hannah had a childlike personality, and she had been praisi
The train arrived at four o'clock, and Hannah and Hollis got off the train only to find that it was already dark. Both of them were momentarily stunned and asked, "Did we miss our stop?"How did it get dark around four o'clock?The wind blowing over was especially cold, and Hannah's face felt like it had been scraped by a knife. She looked at the weather forecast on her phone and said, "There will be a heavy rain today. I need to hurry, or else I'll have to spend the night at this Train Station!""It was quite cold today!"Hollis straightened his clothes and said, "Let's hurry up and go!"The two of them dragged their suitcases and walked outside. It was difficult to hail a taxi in this weather, but luckily there was a subway.Hollis had no plans to look for a job and followed Hannah back to the villa.The two of them came out of the subway station, and the rain had already stopped.Hannah took a taxi half an hour in advance, so she didn't have to wait for long.With such heavy rain,
LA in November became completely cold, Hannah made an appointment with Hollis to go to the hot springs.Hollis recently became unemployed as well, with nothing to do all day, he went to look for Hannah.Two idle people gathered together, always thinking about how to have fun every day.Hannah booked a villa just for her and Hollis. The villa had a hot spring, so they didn't have to go to a public hot spring pool to soak."Hey, I heard that Kendall was going to get engaged to that Sabrina Novak. Do you know about this?"Hannah paused for a moment with her phone in hand and said, "I haven't heard.""Did Kendall look for you before?"Upon hearing Hollis' words, Hannah glanced at her and said, "Who's been feeding you nonsense again?""My younger brother, he said that one day he saw you with Kendall, and you two seemed quite close. He originally wanted to go up and say hello to you, but then he thought it would be better not to.""Drake had a bad look in his eyes, how could the word 'intim
All of her belongings from her student days are inside the miscellaneous room at home. Georgia only allows people to organize them, but she has never thrown away any item.Hannah quickly found the gift that Kendall had given her back then. After nearly fifteen or sixteen years, the outer wrapping paper had become slightly worn.Hannah held the package and returned to the room. The adhesive tape had completely stuck the wrapping paper, and she couldn't open it, so she had to tear the wrapping paper directly.Underneath the wrapping paper, there was a gift box. She opened the box and inside, there was a bed of lavender. The first thing she saw was the postcard placed on top.Hannah raised an eyebrow, picked up the postcard, and turned it over to see the message Kendall had left for her.To say or not to say, Kendall's handwriting was quite nice.Hannah, there's something I've been hesitating about for a long time, but I feel like I should tell you. I don't even know when it started, but
That night, Kendall indeed did nothing. The two of them, rarely calm and peaceful, sat together, reminiscing about the things they had experienced in the past decade.Many things were brought up again, and Hannah realized that she had many misunderstandings about Kendall as well.For example, it was not Kendall who told Georgia about her failing mid-term exam, but Georgia went to school to bring her some snacks and casually asked about it.Back in college, the incident where Kendall switched the love letter she intended to confess with was because that senior was not a good person. Kendall knew that she wouldn't listen if she told her, so she took matters into her own hands.The two of them chatted until after three in the evening. Hannah didn't even know how she fell asleep, but when she woke up, Kendall was already not in her villa.The mess on the desk has been tidied up, and everything on it is neatly arranged. Under her water cup, there is a takeout receipt, on which Kendall left
The box was just sitting there on the side, and Hannah found it to be in the way. She had just put on gloves to eat the crayfish, but she couldn't resist and took off one glove. Then she took the box and walked over to a shelf nearby, and stuffed the box into it.When she turned back, Kendall looked up at her.Hannah glanced at him and said, "What kind of look is that?""Did that box offend you?"Hannah sat back down and, as she put her gloves back on, she hummed, "If you keep asking, you will soon offend me.""OK, I didn't ask anymore."Hannah ate four or five crayfish and felt like something was missing. She looked at Kendall beside her and said, "Don't you think we're missing something?""What was missing?"Kendall handed her the peeled crayfish, and Hannah didn't hesitate to take it: "Beer, huh? Don't you drink beer when you eat barbecue?""There were a few cans of beer in the refrigerator, go and get them!"Hannah kicked him directly, Kendall took off his gloves, and got up slowl
Hannah started the car and returned to the villa, paying no attention to Kendall: "There are guest rooms on the first floor, don't come up to find me unless it's necessary."This was Kendall's second time coming to Hannah's place. Last time, Kendall didn't stay for long before being chased away by Hannah.This time, I came over...Wasn't it a little better, at least he got to sleep in a guest room on the first floor, right?Hannah finished speaking and went upstairs. Kendall didn't feel like guessing what idea he had in mind, and he didn't have the patience to play with him either.Since he was coming to stay over, she decided to give him a guest room, as there were plenty of rooms in her house.As for the rest, he can dream on!However, she thought well, but reality turned out to be somewhat contrary to her wishes.Hannah had just played two rounds of King of Glory by herself when Kendall's phone rang."What's up?""Were you playing King of Glory?""Yeah, do you have any opinions?""
Mona was not surprised at all. She only became acquainted with Hannah after junior high school, when she was young and naturally couldn't see the constant arguments between Hannah and Kendall.Later in high school, she also had a crush on Kendall, and when she saw what Kendall did to Hannah, she vaguely understood something.She remembered in her sophomore year, she even told Hannah that Kendall might like her.Hannah's reaction was very strong, telling her not to make such jokes, she couldn't handle it.Not long after, it was heard that Kendall had a girlfriend, and Mona even briefly doubted if she had sensed something wrong.Later on, Kendall went abroad after studying in her home country for only two years. After going abroad, she also vaguely heard from mutual friends in the circle that Kendall had a girlfriend again. Mona no longer mentioned Kendall's feelings for Hannah.Five years ago, Kendall came over to this side of LA to find Hannah. She was quite surprised because at that
