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 driver happened to be at home today and was being escorted out by another police officer.He, on the other hand, didn't cry and shout like his wife did, even when he was being escorted out, he kept his head down, as if he was afraid of being too embarrassed in front of the neighbors.The wife, who had been crying and complaining incessantly, suddenly stopped shouting. The man, as if sensing something, glanced inside the car and when he saw Jessica, his face immediately turned pale.That woman...Even though almost a year had passed, the man still recognized the beautiful woman at first sight.As the saying goes, if you have done no wrong, you need not fear the knock of a ghost at the door.After that day, the man had several nightmares in a row, but as time went by, he gradually forgot about them.I didn't expect that after a year, the other party would come to my door with the police.The man lowered his head, forced a bitter smile, and muttered, "Retribution! Retribution!"If th
Suddenly, there was a "drip" sound outside the door, and Jessica knew that Terry had come back. She quickly wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes.Terry pushed the door open and entered the room. Jessica was still on the couch, with her head tilted back, smiling at him. "You're back so soon?" she said.Terry walked over and only then did he see that Jessica's eyes were a little red.He put down the things he was holding in his hands and bent his body halfway in front of Jessica. He held her face with both hands and said, "Did you cry secretly?""No way."He looked at her and suddenly raised his head to kiss her on the eyes.Jessica trembled for a moment, and the emotions in her heart instantly magnified. She fell into his arms and hugged him, saying, "I don't know why, but it feels like I haven't seen you guys for a long time."Before today, she didn't remember anything. The missing memories of over twenty years made her silent when facing the past.If she couldn't remembe
Upon hearing his words, Jessica inexplicably choked up, "What if it wasn't?""No if."He spoke and tightly held her hand.Jessica blinked her eyes and said, "I was a little hungry.""I went to buy ravioli for you.""Okay."Jessica let go of her hand and leaned back on the sofa, looking at him as he touched his stomach and asked, "Is the little one okay?"Terry also touched her abdomen, “It's fine."It has been over four months, almost five months, and Jessica's belly is still not very noticeable.But knowing that there was a life growing inside, I placed my hand on it, even though I couldn't feel anything, a wave of tenderness still surged in my heart.Terry glanced at her and said, "Behave, I will go buy you some food.""I knew."It was almost 8 o'clock now. After lunch, both Jessica and Terry hadn't eaten anything. At this time, they should have been hungry.Terry took his phone and said, "I will go downstairs to buy some food.""Go."She was not a child, so there was no need to wat
Jessica was still asleep, with an oxygen tube inserted in her nose, looking as if she was sleeping.Terry walked over and held her hand, then followed the gurney back to the regular ward.The hospital in this town was simple, and there weren't many people in the inpatient department. Jessica was assigned to a separate ward.The nurse gave Terry a few instructions and then left, leaving the ward filled with the sound of machines.Jessica's forehead was scratched, and it bled, but the bleeding was not excessive, and the wound quickly coagulated.Terry used a wet tissue to wipe away the bloodstain, and just as he threw away the tissue, his phone started vibrating.It was an unfamiliar number.But Terry still remembered the incident with the police. He picked up his phone and stood in front of the window by the door, watching Jessica inside, while answering the call, "Mr. Policeman?""It was me. Is Mrs. Davison alright?""Having just recovered from shock, the doctor said there was no majo
Halfway through the interrogation, Terry received a message from Jessica and he immediately interrupted the officer in front of him, saying, "Sorry, I have to go back, my wife is in danger."The police officer taking the statement also had some difficulty processing it, “Your wife..."Terry didn't have time to think about it, Jessica wouldn't easily send such a message again, she sent a distress signal, the situation must be very bad.Seeing Terry get up and run, the police officer who was taking the statement quickly chased after him, saying, "Mr. Davison, if your wife is in danger, we can send help..."Terry didn't wait for him to finish, “Well, thank you, officer! I'm going back first!"The car stopped at the entrance of the police station, Terry turned the car out of the road, and as soon as the car got on the main road, he stepped on the accelerator.The car drove away all of a sudden, at a very high speed. When the police ran out, Terry's car had already disappeared.Terry almos
The sunlight at twelve o'clock was even more intense. Eamon was scolded by Jessica, and although he had the intention to run away, he lacked the courage to do so. Who knew when Jessica would come out of the house.He was tied to a tree, although most of the sunlight was blocked by the leaves, it was still very hot at noon, and Eamon was suffering as his body still hurt from the several places Jessica had just hit him.Jessica and Terry were leisurely eating lunch inside the house, eating to their heart's content. It was only after they had finished eating that Jessica took out her phone and called the police.The police took more than twenty minutes to arrive, and when Eamon heard the sound of the police siren, he instinctively trembled.Terry glanced at him and went out to meet the police, “Hello, I am the husband of the person who made the report."Terry made a simple self-introduction, “My wife got scared by a thief, which caused her to have a miscarriage. She is currently resting
Eamon realized it and instinctively wanted to run, but Jessica also reacted quickly, reaching out and smashing the coconut she had just taken a few sips of onto him.Terry, who was standing by, immediately dropped what he was holding and ran up to grab the tattered oil-paper umbrella by the door. He forcefully smashed it onto Eamon's ankle, causing him to scream in pain, "Ah!"Eamon fell directly from the wall, and he was about to resist as soon as he got up, but unfortunately Terry had a very solid oil-paper umbrella in his hand, and he was hit again as soon as he got up.After being hit more than ten times, Eamon couldn't bear it and quickly begged for mercy, saying, "Please stop hitting me! I was wrong!"Terry turned around and glanced at Jessica, saying, "Bring the rope."Jessica turned and entered the small room next to her, pulling out the hemp rope from under the bed.Eamon, who fell to the ground, attempted to escape. Terry, seeing that he was being dishonest, fiercely struck
Denzel arrived at the hospital and remained unconscious. That night, he was transferred to the ICU.It had been several days since Jessica heard the news when she and Terry arrived in Tonopah.It was almost June, and as soon as Jessica got off the plane, she felt a wave of heat.Plus, back in January, Eamon came over causing trouble, and Jessica was a bit concerned about the condition of the yard.The temperature today was a bit high, and Terry was worried that Jessica couldn't handle it, so he didn't go over there immediately after coming out of the airport.The two of them stayed in the city for the whole night and only took the car over early the next morning.There weren't many households in the village to begin with, and it seems that the big yellow dog that used to chase after Jessica is now gone.Jessica and Terry asked the neighbor next door and found out that there was an old man in the village who fell while picking vegetables in the vegetable field more than three months ag
Denzel had been talking to Lucas all along, and in the few short seconds before the elevator arrived, there were only Denzel's childish voice and Lucas's occasional "uh-huh".The elevator came quite fast, and Jessica and Terry were the first to enter.There were no other people inside the elevator, only the five of them.Jessica and Terry were in the right corner, while their family of three was in the left corner.Terry held Jessica's hand, lowered his head to look at her, and the two exchanged a glance, only to smile slightly and never speak.After about five or six seconds, the elevator finally reached the first floor.Jessica and Terry didn't move, watching as Lucas and the other two exited the elevator. Only then did Terry say, "Let's go."Jessica glanced at him, and both of them instinctively slowed down their pace. The family of three in front of them gradually moved further away, until they were about ten meters apart. It was only then that Jessica spoke, "Are he and Susie pla
