The time was already late, and Jessica hadn't taken a bath for long.
She had just come out of the bathroom when she saw her bedroom door being pushed open.
Jessica paused for a moment and looked at Terry, who was walking in wearing pajamas. "What's wrong?"
"Go to sleep."
He spoke as he walked to the edge of the bed and sat down, lifting the covers and lying down directly.
Jessica raised an eyebrow and said, "Aren't you afraid my mom will walk in tomorrow?"
"Auntie should have given you some face."
He smiled, with a hint of pride in his eyes.
Jessica clicked her tongue and said, "No, you go back to sleep!"
Terry looked at her, raising an eyebrow, "So, did you come to my room again in the middle of the night?"
Upon hearing her words, her face grew slightly warm. "Who said that? Last time, I was just not accustomed to it."
"Well, this time I wasn't used to it."
He said, picking up the phone she had plac
Jessica washed her face and felt much more awake. She looked at Terry, who was lying on her bed again, and chuckled, "Terry, are you shameless even in my house?"He did not directly answer her question, "I woke up at six o'clock this morning."Jessica clicked her tongue and said, "Well, you are really impressive."He smiled and reached out to lift her onto the bed, saying, "Weren't you planning to sleep in tomorrow morning?""Yeah."Jessica looked down at him and didn't react for a moment, “What's wrong? Do you want to go to Brice's place?"Even though Terry is not biologically related, he should still go and see Brice."No."He leaned in and kissed her on the face.Jessica had just washed her face, and the water on her face had not completely dried yet. Her face felt cool, but Terry's lips were warm, and his breath was warm too.The heater was on in the room, and she was only wearing a loose sweater when Terry ef
Time passed minute by minute, and the sky outside had long turned dark, but the light in the operating room was still red, and the door to the operating room had not been pushed open.No one knew what was going on with Brice.Jessica could feel the uneasiness in Terry's emotions, and she lifted her other hand to cover his hand, “Terry."Upon hearing her voice, Terry turned his head towards her and said, "I'm fine."He finished speaking and then let go, giving her head a rub.Jessica held his hand tightly and didn't say anything.It was around 7 o'clock in the evening when the door of the emergency room was finally opened. However, it was indeed the doctors and nurses who came out with the surgical consent form, saying, "Who among you is Brice's family member? The patient is currently experiencing severe bleeding and we need someone to sign..."Terry stood up subconsciously, Jessica realized it first and gently pulled him.Benne
When Jessica woke up, the sky outside had already turned dark.Terry was no longer in the room. She picked up the phone beside her and found a message from Terry on Line.He was already over at the hospital, Brice had just woken up, but the situation wasn't very good, he still needed to stay in the ICU.Jessica breathed a sigh of relief and then glanced at the time, realizing that she had slept until after 7 o'clock in the evening.These past few days, Terry hardly closed her eyes. Although she dozed off while accompanying him, she couldn't sleep well after all. Today, she was persuaded by May and Morgan to come over to the hotel and rest, and finally had a good night's sleep.After a nap, Jessica felt much better.She turned on the light and sat on the bed for a while before getting up to tidy up downstairs and have a quick bite. Then, she packed some food and headed to the hospital.The hotel was not far from the hospital, it was ju
"Trissy, please don't send any messages to Lucas late at night. He's my husband." Trissy was Lucas' first love, but she had married Lucas' elder brother, Max. Since Max died, Trissy had been pestering Lucas all the time. That troubled Jessica a lot, so she had to talk to Trissy in person. "Only legally. He is in love with ME. But you don't have to worry. I will make him leave you." Trissy sneered, not taking what Jessica said seriously. Today was the dinner for the announcement of the new CEO of the Thomas Group, the most famous enterprise in LA, to take over the affairs of the group. Justin Thomas, the original CEO, Lucas' grandfather, announced that the new CEO is Lucas in front of the entire upper—class circle in LA. Suddenly, the banquet was interrupted by some servants out in the garden. "Help! Help! Jessica and Trissy fell down the stairs!" People hurried to the garden. Before everyone else could react, Lucas had already picked up Trissy, who was unconscious on
"Jessica, get up now. The shards are all over you." After Justin left, Rebecca, Lucas' mother, hurried over, trying to help Jessica up. "Mom, wait." Lucas reached out to stop Rebecca. He then looked down at Jessica and asked, "Did you hear what Grandpa just said? Do you know what you have done wrong now?" "Lucas, I think I've made it very clear. I didn't push Trissy. I did nothing wrong." Although Jessica was trembling with cold, she looked at Lucas firmly. She wouldn't give in. "Then from today you don't live in Thomas house, people like you don't deserve to be in the same house as us!" Lucas nodded at the butler, beckoning him to come over and take Jessica away. Rebecca shook her head in disagreement and said to Lucas, "Jessica is your wife. How can you treat her like that?" "Such a vicious woman can't be my wife," Lucas replied coldly. Jessica suddenly felt a shooting pain in her heart. Originally, she planned to show Lucas the evidence so that Lucas would know he h
When Jessica woke up, it was already the next morning. She had a French feast with Hannah yesterday evening, and then had some drinks and danced the whole night. They got home early in the morning. Jessica felt as if she had been crushed by a car after a hangover. She felt weak and sore. Hanna walked into Jessica's room with a glass of milk and handed it to her. "The news on the Internet spreads fast." "Really? Where is my phone?" Jessica took a sip of milk and took over her phone, handed over by Hannah. Jessica logged in to Twitter and started swiping. The top of the trending topics was about Jessica pushing Trissy downstairs at Justin's annoucement banquet. Jessica swiped her phone and read the comments casually. Almost all were scolding Jessica for being vicious. And some people exposed Jessica's ordinary background, saying Jessica was not worthy of a rich person like Lucas. Some even assumed that Jessica might have played some tricks to marry into such a wealthy family.
Jessica suddenly cried, making Hannah, who was beside her, feel sad. They had been friends since they were little. For so many years, Jessica had always been a smart and noble young princess. Hannah had never seen Jessica being ill—treated like now. It was all Lucas Thomas' fault! A few minutes later, Jessica gradually calmed down. She took the tissue and wiped her tears. She took out a mirror to fix her makeup. Jessica quickly adjusted her mood and turned to look at Hannah. She asked, "Hannah, I heard that your cousin knows reporters from the Los Angeles Times? Is he interested in an exclusive report?" "No problem, I will call my cousin Eden right now." Hannah froze for a moment and then figured out what Jessica planned to do. Hannah then took out her phone. Jessica nodded and looked out through the window. After three years, Jessica finally accepted the fact that she could not replace Trissy in Lucas' heart. She lost. However, Jessica would not let the Thomas family
When Jessica returned to Hannah's place, Hannah had already cleaned up the house. Hannah was putting the fried steak onto a plate, and the red wine was on the table as well. "Welcome back!" Hannah looked at Jessica excitedly. "Let's have a lavish meal today and hang out tonight." Jessica sat down in front of the table and smiled at Hannah. "No, I'm leaving LA tonight." Three years ago, for the sake of Lucas, Jessica had left New York, where her parents lived. Now that Lucas and Jessica were done, she didn't want to stay in LA anymore. However, before leaving, she had to send the divorce gift she had prepared, so she said to Hannah, "You can get someone to send out the audios I sent you." Hannah said excitedly, "No problem, I've been waiting for you to say that. Wait for me, I'll make a call now. Let's go back to New York together tonight!" "Aren't you having fun here with Mona?" Jessica asked, surprised to hear her say that. "I haven't been back to New York in years,

The two of them walked and stopped, and saw a stall where people were playing games. There were also many curious onlookers in front of the stall, so Jessica and Terry also stopped.Terry touched her hand and didn't feel it was cold before speaking, "Do you want to play?"Jessica shook her head and said, "I have never played this before."The mouth of the pot was so narrow and small, who could throw it in without practice.She was just curious and wanted to see if anyone would play.But obviously, most people don't know how to play, they just want to have some fun and try something new.Jessica looked for a while and wanted to continue walking forward. Suddenly, her feet tightened, and she lowered her head only to realize that a little girl, who had just reached her knees, was hugging her.She quickly pulled Terry's sleeve. Terry lowered his head and saw the little girl. His eyes lit up with curiosity, "Where did you come from?"
Morgan said ten minutes, and indeed, in ten minutes, he had finished preparing the remaining two dishes.Four people, Morgan made a soup and eight dishes.When the four of them sat down, it was already past one o'clock in the afternoon, and this lunchtime was a bit late.Jessica got up at seven in the morning and went to the airport with Terry after having breakfast.There were snacks on the plane, but she didn't like to eat them.So until now, Jessica hasn't had anything else to eat except for the bowl of soup she just drank.Outside, it was unknown who set off the fireworks, and occasional sounds could be heard. The New Year was getting closer and closer.Morgan opened a bottle of red wine, and Jessica drank about half a cup.Morgan rarely drank outside, but today, feeling happy, he had two drinks and started talking to Terry about how he had met Brice.Terry occasionally responded with one or two sentences, with Jessi
Jessica was stunned for a moment, she had lost her memory and couldn't remember anything.Now, hearing Terry mention the past again, I feel like an unrelated bystander.But she was also a bystander who loved Terry, listening to his casual words, feeling an indescribable sense of oppression in her heart.She pursed her lips and asked, "Why were you able to persist for so many years?"The car stopped as the traffic light turned red. Terry turned to her and looked at her directly, saying, "Maybe I was too stubborn?"He said this with a smile, but Jessica felt a little sour in her heart as she listened, “If you had the chance to do it all over again, would you still be so stubborn?""Yeah, I will."He responded and suddenly reached out to grab her hand, his fingers landing on her middle finger, which was adorned with an engagement ring."But I might not have had that much patience, I might have just eloped."He smiled and to
After the incident, Jessica and Terry came out of the police station and it was almost 7 o'clock. Jessica was feeling a bit hungry.It was very cold on the snowy day. Terry led her to the car and let her get in first.The car had been parked outside for over an hour, and the heating had long gone.Terry turned on the heater and asked, "Are we still going out for dinner?""Let's eat, didn't we already reserve a table?"Terry smirked and said, "Okay."The car slowly started, and the inside of the carriage gradually warmed up.Jessica's phone vibrated, and she looked down to see a message from Wendy.She raised an eyebrow, clicked on it to download the email, and then opened it.Wendy's initiative was strong, and in just over an hour, she had researched all the information about "the Golden Chain".The Golden Chain was indeed Roberto's nephew, but Roberto had long severed ties with their family.These days, I
"I, you—"The Golden Chain couldn't make any sense of it and became angry, saying, "I won't waste my time talking nonsense with you. Let these dogs of yours let go of me!"Jessica didn't like hearing such insulting words. She frowned and was about to speak when Wendy said, "Ms. Hall, the police have arrived."Jessica glanced outside and sure enough, there were already two police cars parked outside. The police cars came to a stop, and four police officers got out of the two cars respectively.The Golden Chain and his two companions heard Wendy say that the police had arrived, so they also looked outside the door and saw that it was indeed the police. The three of them panicked and immediately started pushing the security guard.The security guards were also trained, so it wasn't easy for them to be pushed aside.The three men were entangled with the security guard when four police officers came in. One of the officers shouted loudly, "Stop!"
