After what had happened tonight, Jessica was exhausted, so she did not speak.
Terry didn't say anything more, and the car quieted down. The car passed by a downtown area. Terry asked, "Want something to eat?" Jessica tilted her head and glanced outside. "Not in the mood. Maybe next time." Now, she only wanted to go home to take a hot bath and have a good sleep. By the time the car stopped by the roadside of Jessica's apartment, it was already past eleven at night. Jessica unfastened her seat belt and said to Terry. "Thank you for tonight. You don't have to get off the car and see me off." He was just about to get off. Upon hearing her words, Terry stopped. He tapped on the steering wheel and looked at her through the half—open window. "Jessica, when is next time?" Jessica was just about to turn around. She was slightly stunned when she heard this. Then she realized what he was saying and smiled. "Well, that depenLURE Club was very exquisitely—decorated. Hari could no longer hear the loud music when he walked to the second flower. As a frequent visitor of LURE, Hari was familiar with all the private rooms. He soon went to T1 and knocked on the door. "I'm coming in." Then he pushed the door open and entered. Hari was amused when he saw the wine on the table. "That's new to me. I never knew you would drink to forget!" Lucas was cold and indifferent. Few could influence him. Hari had known him for so many years, but he had never seen him drown his sorrows in alcohol. There were two bottles of red wine on the table, and Lucas was holding a glass in his hand. Hari knew that something had happened to Lucas. Hari was amused by him. But he tried his best to keep his smile back. He sat down beside Lucas. "Tell me, which lady did this to you?" Lucas looked at him coldly. After a while, he said, "Am I a jerk to Jessica?" Hearing his
What Hari said caused a throb in Lucas' heart. Lucas tried to say something to refute but found that he couldn't refute anything. Deep down, Lucas never felt sorry for Jessica. Although he was the one who proposed the marriage, he wouldn't have married her if Jessica hadn't played tricks the other night. Lucas never thought he did anything wrong. Everything that happened next originated from the other night. If Jessica hadn't set a trap for Lucas, Lucas would never have thought about marrying her. Then, Jessica didn't have to marry Lucas. Lucas closed his eyes slightly. "She was the plotter the other night." Hari still had a bunch of righteous words to scold Lucas. The chance was rare, so Hari had to take it. Yet what Lucas had just said stopped Hari from going on. Suddenly, a guess flashed into Hari's mind, "Have you ever thought that Jessica might also have been the victim that night?" Hari didn't look reliable, yet h
Terry looked at Lucas. Terry's face didn't have the playful look he usually had. Terry's brown eyes were cold. "Lucas, what do you make of a duel?" Lucas had been annoying Terry for a long time. Lucas sneered. "Where?" There was a kind of frustration that Lucas couldn't let out. Now that Terry had come over, Lucas didn't want to hold himself back anymore. "Come with me." Terry glanced at Lucas, snorted, and turned around. Hari looked at Terry's back and hurried to turn to Lucas, "Lucas, you are joking, right?" The two of them were both grown—ups. How could they just get into a fight so easily? Lucas didn't feel like talking to Hari. He pulled Hari over and said, "Drive and follow him." Hari chuckled at what Lucas said. "So, I see you do remember that you are drunk, right?" Lucas kicked Hari. Hari was caught off guard and almost fell to the ground. After standing firm, he gritted his teeth and
Lucas did drink a lot, but his mind was still sober. Hari's words pissed Lucas off. Lucas' being drunk had nothing to do with Jessica. And as for Terry, he was so hilarious. He was such a notorious playboy, yet he fell for Jessica. Lucas pushed Hari away, "Get lost. Don't touch me." After that, Lucas looked at Terry again. "It's a pity. Jessica likes me, not you." Terry stood in the cold wind for a while. His mind got much clearer. Terry looked at Lucas and sneered. Terry said, "Yes, but since you lost her, she is no longer your wife. In the future, she will be my wife!" When Terry finished speaking, he looked at Lucas for a while and suddenly felt that he didn't have to come to Lucas again. The more disappointing Lucas was, the better. Jessica wasn't the kind of woman who would look back, especially when the man in her past was just a jerk. The worse Lucas was, the better Terry would look. Thinking of that, Terry suddenly chuckled. "Lucas, I hope that you can
Early in the morning, Justin was sitting in the hall with a cold face. Olivia and the others went downstairs and saw Justin like that. All of them were startled. Lucas drank a lot of wine last night and had a fight with Terry. When he received a call from the Thomas villa, he was still asleep. The butler said on the other end that Justin asked Lucas to return to the villa right away. Lucas sat up. "I see." Just as Lucas spoke, the pain in the corner of his mouth reminded him of last night. Lucas turned on his phone. Both Luna and Trissy sent him a message. It was half an hour ago. Lucas realized that something went wrong. He logged in to Twitter, and someone posted a video about Jessica last night. How dared anyone do that? Lucas called Vincent while packing up. Just as Vincent was about to call Lucas to tell him about the trending topic, he received a call from Lucas. It seemed that Lucas already knew about that. Vincent answered the call carefully. "Mr. Thomas?
The two Miss—Cheeks were in relationships with the two brothers of their Thomas family. Back then, Luna saved Lucas and then fell into a coma. Lucas wanted to marry Luna, yet Justin strongly opposed it. In the end, both of them compromised. Trissy married Max while Luna was sent abroad for treatment, which was paid for by the Thomas family. Although Justin didn't like Trissy, Trissy was better than Luna, who was in a coma. Thus, Justin took Trissy in, though reluctantly. Later, Jessica married into the Thomas family as a commoner, which was even worse than Trissy. Justin naturally placed all his disgust on Jessica. Justin hated Jessica, but that didn't mean he liked Luna. Justin's eldest grandson had already married a useless wife, and Justin didn't want Lucas to marry another wife who didn't belong to a proper family! "That's right. Jessica and Lucas are divorced. Why is she causing so much trouble?" Olivia had forgotten about the lesson Jessica taught her. Now th
Lucas raised his head to meet Justin's gaze and said indifferently, "I was the one who told Jessica that I used her. She was angry and wanted to take revenge on me. It's normal." Lucas spoke lightly, but Justin was furious. Justin looked at his favorite grandson in disbelief. "Lucas, can you repeat that?" Lucas raised his hand and rubbed his temples. He didn't sleep well last night and was woken up early in the morning. His head hurt a little. "You didn't hear me wrong. I am the cause." Lucas paused and said, "By the way, you said that if Luna wakes up, you will let me marry her. Now she wakes up, Grandpa, it is time for you to fulfill your promise." "Bang!" Justin was so angry that he smashed the vase on the desk directly at Lucas. "Get lost, get lost! Out!" Lucas looked at Justin, whose face was still cold and expressionless. "Grandpa, don't be angry. It won't be good if your blood pressure rises. I'm going back to work. I'll get someone to handle the news online."
Lucas felt that what Vincent had got was ridiculous. Lucas was drugged that night. When his mind was not so clear, he once asked her why she did that. Lucas remembered that she said she liked him and thus wanted him. But now the results of the investigation said that the hotel surveillance was broken that night, but some witnesses saw that Jessica was also drugged. If this was true, then in those three years, why didn't Jessica explain it to Lucas? That was so absurd! Lucas put on a grim face. A storm was coming. Lucas dialed the intercom. "Come in!" Lucas then hung up the phone. Vincent held the receiver and he had a throb in his heart. Vincent knew Lucas was going to be furious! But Vincent had to face Lucas' rage. What were secretaries for? Vincent took a deep breath, then got up and walked to Lucas' office. "Mr. Thomas?" "Are you kidding me with the results of your investigation, Vincent?" Vincent looked up and saw Lucas sitting on the office chair
Kendall looked at her with a half-smile and said, "If I were to say yes, would you get angry?""You underestimate me too much. I have been watching you since you started dating. What's the big deal?"Hannah, despite having many flaws, had one good quality - she never dwelled on the past.This statement directly silenced Kendall, as he looked at Hannah, for a moment, unsure whether he wanted her to be angry or not.Hannah indeed witnessed most of the absurd things that happened during her youth.Of course, he was well aware of Hannah's affairs.This is the downside of childhood sweethearts. Both parties are well aware of the fact that even at their age, they still wet the bed.He looked at her for a while and said, "I have never been with any other girl."This statement is not Kendall trying to appease Hannah, he really hasn't been alone with any other girl.Although it is true that he had been in several relationships before, those relationships during his student days seemed more lik
Hannah looked straight at him and said, "That's it, we're going back to LA to get married.""Okay."Kendall naturally wouldn't refuse, but he just felt that getting married in such a hurry was unfair to Hannah.After all, he had not proposed yet.After dinner, Hannah deliberately took Georgia to the garden for a walk, and took the opportunity to tell her about Kendall getting married."Mom, I wanted to go back to LA and get married to Kendall."Georgia nodded and said, "You are all grown up now, marriage is a big decision, as long as you have thought it through, it will be fine."Speaking of this, Georgia paused for a moment and felt a bit sentimental. "Gemma's current situation is day by day. It would be good if you two could get married and let her see it."After coming back from the hospital, Georgia's mood was not good all the time.Gemma was only in her fifties, as if she had only lived half of her life. Now, it was like this, and Georgia, who was the same age as Gemma, simply co
The three of them were talking when Kendall had already come in.Hannah glanced at him and then continued to lower her head to peel the apple.She couldn't learn Kendall's constant peeling method, she could only peel little by little, and she peeled slowly.It took five minutes to peel an apple, but it was not finished.Kendall washed his hands and came out, saying, "Give it to me."Hannah glanced at him, somewhat unwillingly, "I was almost done."He withdrew his hand and looked down to check the time.Hannah peeled and chopped the apples, placing them on a clean fruit platter. She handed it to Georgia and said, "Mom, you can chat with Gemma. We are going to the meeting room over there."Kendall looked at Gemma and said, "We passed by."Gemma nodded, "Go ahead."The meeting this time was mainly a consultation between out-of-town experts and Gemma's local attending physician, hoping to find better treatment methods during the consultation.Of course, it was unnecessary for the patients
Both of them remained silent and had no idea how much time had passed. Suddenly, a noise came from the entrance hall.Hannah instinctively came out of Kendall's embrace as soon as they separated, and Jaylen and Georgia entered through the door.Hannah picked up the cup on the table and instinctively brought it to her lips. Kendall reached out and stopped her, saying, "Don't drink it, the water is cold. Let me pour you another cup."Hannah was embarrassed, she glanced at him and handed him the cup.Georgia walked in with a bouquet of roses, and upon seeing this, Hannah teased, "Wow, who sent you those flowers?"Georgia glanced at Jaylen and said, "It was from your dad."Jaylen felt a little embarrassed in front of his daughter and future son-in-law.Hannah clicked her tongue and said, "Dad is really nice!"It was another day of shedding tears for the beautiful love of Mom and Dad!Kendall poured her a glass of water and came back, giving her a half-smile as she said, "Got it.""How did
The four of them chatted as they left the private room. The elevator they got on was crowded with people, so they had to wait for the next one.Hannah was discussing with Kendall what movie to watch later, when Blaine and they walked over, it was Georgia and Jaylen who saw them first."Blaine."Upon hearing Jaylen's words, both Hannah and Kendall instinctively looked up.Blaine stood next to Jeffrey's mother, and there was a girl standing next to Jeffrey.They were a family of four, and they were very happy together.Since Kendall rejected everything from the Hawthorne family, Jeffrey has become the most influential person in the Hawthorne family.In front of others, he pretended to be fine and called out to Kendall, "Brother."Hannah hummed and looked at Kendall, "I didn't know you had a younger brother."Kendall laughed and reached out to touch her head, saying, "I don't know either."This remark directly slapped Jeffrey's face, but he didn't show any sign of anger.Blaine couldn't
Hannah walked around downstairs and then went back up.Just as she arrived at the door of the ward, she heard Gemma say this.She pursed her lips and walked in as Gemma was about to speak again.Seeing her come in, Gemma naturally swallowed her words.Kendall cut the peeled apple into small pieces and handed them to Gemma with a small knife.Gemma glanced at Hannah and said, "Does Hannah want to eat grapes? There are still plenty of fruits in the fridge."All of them were brought by people who came to visit her, but she couldn't eat much. Most of them were given to the caregiver auntie."I'm not eating, Gemma. I didn't have much of an appetite today."She took an apple from Kendall's hand, sat on the edge of the bed, and started eating with her head down.Gemma looked at her, looked for a while, and suddenly called out to her, "Hannah.""What's wrong, Gemma?"Gemma took off the bracelet in her hand, took Kendall's hand, and put it inside her hand: "This was left to me by Kendall's gra
Hannah did sleep quite long this time, and when she woke up, it was already past ten o'clock.After burning all night, I woke up feeling tired and hungry.She furrowed her brow, got out of bed and pulled open the curtains, only to find that the sun was already shining brightly.Hannah took out her phone and checked the time.It was half past ten, did you sleep for so long?She felt uncomfortable with dry lips and a dry mouth, so she quickly went to the bathroom to freshen up, and then went downstairs to pour herself a glass of water to drink.Just as Hannah reached the halfway point of the stairs, she bumped into Georgia who was going up.Seeing that she woke up, Georgia quickly walked to her side and asked, "How are you? Are you still feeling uncomfortable?"Hannah shook her head, "I was a little thirsty."Although she was not feeling uncomfortable, her voice became hoarse and unclear as soon as she spoke.Georgia felt sorry and said, "I will pour it for you!"Hannah wanted to say no
Hannah came downstairs after taking a shower, and Kendall was already eating at the dining table.Georgia was cooking ginger soup in the kitchen. When she saw Hannah and Kendall coming down, she served two bowls of ginger soup. She gave one bowl to Hannah and the other to Kendall, saying, "Have some food to line your stomach, and then have a few sips of ginger soup to warm up."Hannah took a sip of soup and said, "Mom, how can I catch a cold so easily on such a hot day? The ginger soup also tastes too strong, I don't want to drink it."Georgia gave her a glare and said, "If it wasn't cold, you wouldn't have caught a cold, would you?"Hannah glanced at Kendall, not daring to refute Georgia's words.Finally, under the supervision of Georgia, they both still drank the ginger soup.After all the fuss, it was almost twelve o'clock now.Georgia and Jaylen couldn't hold on any longer, so they were told to go to their rooms and rest, with the advice to go to sleep early.After their parents l
"Wait, don't rush to speak. Let me finish first, don't make Kendall anxious by turning back."Hannah was about to hang up the phone when she heard Georgia's words, so she had to pick up the phone again. "Mom, how is Gemma doing specifically? Do we need to come back immediately?""She was doing fine for the time being, don't worry Kendall. The doctor suggested that she undergo surgery. Talk to Kendall and see if you can both make a trip back in the next few days.""Okay, hang up the phone now and take care of yourself.""Mom, you took care of yourself too, I knew it."After hanging up the phone, Hannah sent a message to Kendall on Line, asking if he was available at the moment and if so, to reply to her message.Just finished the dinner party, Kendall, walking halfway, glanced at the secretary in front and said, "You go wait for me in the car."The secretary saw him pick up his phone and make a call, nodded, and tactfully walked out of the hotel to find a driver.Kendall walked to one
