Chapter 252

Terry had an uncanny sense of proportion, always knowing when to push the boundaries. Just when Jessica thought their relationship had reached a perfect balance, he would disrupt it with actions that were bold and confrontational—provoking anger, but never enough to cause lasting resentment.Sometimes, Jessica wasn’t sure whether she was more frustrated with Terry or with herself. Whenever she tried to set aside her chaotic emotions, he would appear again, forceful yet yielding, making her feel both sympathetic and helpless.She watched him silently, and he didn’t speak either, merely glancing nonchalantly at his hand, which had been caught in the door earlier. Following his gaze, Jessica noticed the bruising on his fair hand and frowned slightly. She had closed the door quickly and with force; it must have hurt quite a bit.“Did you like the gift I sent you yesterday?” Terry finally broke the silence, bringing her back to the present.Jessica’s eyes flickered as she remembered the nec

Chapter 253

Jessica took a deep breath and considered returning to her room to get her phone and call Terry's secretary. But then she remembered that he had mentioned his secretary's girlfriend was ill, and the secretary had taken the afternoon off to care for her.Looking at the man on the sofa, his face pale and his body burning with fever, Jessica remained silent for a moment. She realized she couldn’t just ignore her conscience.She turned back to her room, changed clothes, grabbed her phone, and prepared to take Terry to the hospital."Terry?"After changing, she walked over to the sofa and gently pushed him, trying to wake him up.This time, Jessica used more force. The man, who had been in a deep sleep, seemed to stir, shifting slightly until most of his body was leaning against hers.The pleasant scent of his cologne filled Jessica’s senses as his forehead touched her neck, sending a rush of warmth through her, causing her heart to beat a little faster."Terry?"She steadied him with her h

Chapter 254

When Jessica woke up, she realized she had been leaning on Terry.Terry had also fallen asleep beside her, the IV drip completed, likely removed by the nurse during rounds. She found herself resting entirely against Terry's chest, his presence unmistakable.As Jessica fully awakened and grasped the situation, she tensed up slightly. It was truly an awkward situation!She noticed that Terry had draped his jacket over her, which explained why she had felt so warm while sleeping.Jessica had no intention of waking Terry—at least not until she could get up and away from him. She glanced up at Terry, noting that his eyes were closed, and he appeared to be sound asleep. Seizing the moment, she swiftly removed his jacket from her shoulders and stood up from his embrace.Just as she stood, something fell to the ground with a light "thud." Looking down, she saw it was her phone. She quickly picked it up and instinctively glanced at Terry, only to find his eyes slowly opening. His still-sleepy p

Although the incident at the wedding had faded significantly, today, it resurfaced online, with netizens once again discussing it relentlessly.Lucas didn't speak, unsure of what to say.Vincent asked if he wanted to handle it, but whether they did or not, Lucas felt like a clown.The worst part was, he was an unwilling clown.He hadn't slept the entire night, sitting here thinking. Jessica had loved him for eleven years. Even if she had mistaken someone else for him initially, her love for him had been real. She hadn’t loved the wrong person; she had loved him.But why had she suddenly declared that she no longer love him?Could eleven years of love truly vanish in less than a year?He couldn't believe it, but Jessica's words kept replaying in his mind.At 31 years old, Lucas realized for the first

Chapter 256

“Thanks”Jessica accepted the cup, took a sip of water, and finally felt better.Terry didn't bring up any more "sensitive" topics after that. Instead, he discussed with her what Amanda planned to do once she got into the Thomas family. It wouldn't be long before the Thomas family would be in complete chaos.Jessica was actually looking forward to it. After all, Justin only stirred up trouble because he had too much time on his hands.By the time Jessica finished her porridge, it was already eleven o'clock. There wasn’t much point in returning to the company at this hour. But since Terry was still in her apartment, and given their situation—just the two of them—it felt a bit awkward. She wanted to ask Terry to leave, but considering that he had been hospitalized with a high fever the night before, it seemed too harsh to kick him out.After some thought, Jessica decided it was better to go back to the company, which would be less awkward than being alone with Terry.Terry could be very

Chapter 257

Jessica felt that Terry made her realize she wasn't immune to sweet talk and flattery after all.She had to admit, even though she knew his words were likely just offhand remarks, her heart still skipped a beat."I'm not joking, Jessica," he said, crouching down.Jessica looked down as he rolled up her pant leg, his warm fingers pressing against her calf. He asked if it hurt each time he pressed a spot.Jessica shook her head, finding herself momentarily lost in this rare tenderness.Terry pressed several spots until Jessica confirmed that none of them hurt. Only then did he stand up again. "Next time, don't do something like this. If you want me to stay away, just tell me."He dropped his usual teasing smile and looked at her with sincere concern.Jessica snapped back to reality. "You should head back to your company, Terry."Noticing her shift in mood, Terry didn't say anything more. His hand lifted slightly, as if he wanted to touch her, but recalling the earlier incident, he withdr

Chapter 258

Jessica wasn’t feeling guilty; rather, she was confused.She had always considered herself someone who holds on to love for a long time; otherwise, she wouldn’t have clung to her feelings for Lucas for so long, even after everything.But just half an hour ago, when she pulled away from Terry and bumped her calf in an effort to distance herself, he told her, “You matter more.” That’s when she realized her heart skipped a beat.Though it was just a fleeting moment, Jessica noticed the shift in her feelings.She had been divorced from Lucas for over a year. While that might seem like a long time, in reality, it wasn’t that long.It wasn’t until recently, when she saw the despicable and dirty side of the Thomas family, that she truly let go of that self-indulgent love.If she were to pinpoint when she stopped loving Lucas, Jessica would say it happened just a month ago.It’s only been a month since she fell out of love with Lucas, and now she’s feeling something for Terry.Jessica wasn’t s

Tonight’s banquet was hosted by the Jameson family, and all the attendees were part of the LA social circle.Jessica and Terry were already the talk of the town, so when Terry entered the venue holding Jessica’s hand, many people couldn't help but glance at Jessica."They're really together, holding hands and everything!""So, those rumors from a few days ago were true—Mr. Davison and Jessica are actually together!""Honestly, I think Jessica and Terry look better together than she and Mr. Thomas ever did.""I agree! Jessica always gives off this aloof vibe, even when she's smiling. It makes her seem distant. And Mr. Thomas, well, he’s almost always expressionless at these events. When two cold people are together, it just feels off!"One woman swirled her glass of red wine and added, "But Jessica and Mr. Davison are different. Mr. Davison might seem like a playful and wealthy young man, but when he's with Jessica, they somehow complement each other."The socialite next to her nodded i

Chapter 260

This evening, Jessica and Terry were surrounded by people they knew.As they walked through the crowd, many greeted them, to which Jessica responded indifferently. After a while, she turned to Terry and lightly shook her hand, which he was holding. "If you keep holding my hand like this, it’ll be too much."Terry, sensing her discomfort, smiled and released her hand, showing restraint at the right moment.Soon, some people who had ties with the Davison family came over to chat with Terry. Taking advantage of the situation, Jessica grabbed a glass of juice and moved aside.However, being a member of the Hall family also meant that Jessica had her share of admirers. Even when she stood alone, people continued to approach her for small talk—whether they were business acquaintances or young socialites eager to befriend the Hall family.After politely dealing with a few, Jessica grew bored and, switching her drink for a glass of grape juice, decided to step out into the garden.In December,

The news about Olivia getting hit quickly reached Jessica.When she heard it, she just smiled.But Hannah was overjoyed. She was so thrilled that she wished she could install surveillance at the Thomas family home to capture the moment Olivia got hit on camera.“By the way, why did Lucas suddenly decide to hit his precious sister?”Jessica shrugged. “Who knows?”Jessica had no intention of spreading what happened that night.Not liking Olivia was one thing, but spreading the news about someone’s failed confession to make them a laughingstock was another.Jessica believed that everyone’s feelings deserved respect, even if Olivia was a bit overconfident in liking Eden.But Jessica had to admit, she admired Olivia’s courage to confess her feelings to Eden.Hannah snorted, “Looks like Olivia’s brother doesn’t love her as much as we thought.”Jessica smirked slightly and didn’t respond.While they were chatting, a waiter brought over two Pina Coladas. “Miss Howell, Miss Hall, these are from
