  "What's up?" Jessica asked, not wanting to dwell on the subject.

  Jessica suddenly felt a headache and could not help but raise her hand to rub her forehead.

  "Are you drunk?"

  Terry, who was next to her, asked. Jessica glanced at him and nodded. "A little. I had a glass of freshly made fruit cocktail," Jessica said.

  "Give me your hand," Terry said.

  Terry helped Jessica to the door. Jessica looked at the palm that Terry had reached out to her and hesitated.

  But before Jessica made up her mind, Terry had already pulled her hand and pressed her index finger against the doorknob.

  With a beep, the door opened. Then Terry pushed the door open and helped Jessica in.

  "Just sit here," Terry said.

  Jessica was taken to the sofa, and she tilted her head to look at Terry, who was walking toward the kitchen.

  Terry was slowly undoing the cufflinks of his shirt.

  The muscles on Terry's forearms were even more burly and more

      Jessica never expected Olivia to change her nature. When she knew Olivia was involved, she only felt disgusted, but not sad at all.  What Jessica did mind was what Lucas had done. She thought Lucas could no longer harm her anymore.  But when Jessica recalled that Lucas deliberately concealed the fact from her, she still felt bothered. The sting caused by Lucas made Jessica unable to fall asleep.  The next day, Jessica invited Hannah to Cloud Top after work. Jessica rarely took the initiative to ask Hannah out.  When Jessica entered the door, before she could reach Hannah's booth, a man came up to strike up a conversation.  "Hey gorgeous, may I treat you to a drink?"  Jessica glanced at him. She was in a bad mood today and didn't feel like arguing with the guy.  Jessica pursed her lips and shook her head.  "What drove you here today?" Hannah found it strange that Jessica took the initiative to ask her to come to Mona's nightclub. "Who

      Jessica rolled down half of the window. She could feel both the warm breeze from outside and the cold air in the car at the same time.  Jessica could only feel a heat wave when she had just opened the window.  But soon, Jessica found the breeze outside more comfortable than the air blown from the air conditioner.  The night wind was strong. With the window open, Jessica was quite sober for the whole night.  The light turned red, so Lucas stopped the car.  Lucas tilted his head and looked at Jessica. "Where are we going?"  Jessica checked the time. It was already late. It was almost ten o'clock at night.  It was too late for them to chat over a meal. It was not proper either, given their current relationship.  Thus, Jessica chose an open place. "Let's go to Griffith Park."  "Sure."  Lucas replied, and Jessica did not say anything else.  Lucas was never talkative. Though he did want to talk to Jessica at that moment,

      Lucas was lost for words for a while, and he looked a little helpless.  He then turned to look at Jessica's cold face and changed the topic. "I'll drive you back."  "Don't worry. I'll take a taxi. It will be here in five minutes."  Jessica gave Lucas no excuse to keep her. "Mr. Thomas, we have divorced, but your sister still hates my guts. She has been making trouble for me time and time again. I am not good—tempered. I will deal with those who schemed against me, so I don't need your oral support."  Lucas looked at Jessica as she turned around, and his golden eyes darkened. "Jessica," said Lucas.  Hearing Lucas' voice, Jessica stopped, but she did not look back.  She didn't lie to Lucas. She had called for a taxi, and it was almost here.  "Do you feel nothing for me now?"  Jessica was stunned for a moment. She didn't expect Lucas, who had always been cold—hearted, would ask such a question.  Jessica turned to look

      Jessica returned home and washed up. Then she lay in bed.  What Lucas said tonight and before they got divorced constantly appeared in Jessica's mind, intertwined.  She remembered a young boy's shirt blown by the wind eleven years ago when she got unconscious.  It suddenly occurred to Jessica that she might not have noticed Lucas over and over again, or even fallen in love with him, had Lucas not been the person who saved her that day.  But there was no if. During those three years, Jessica always remembered that day when she wanted to give up.  She always believed that Lucas was a gentle person despite his cruel face.  However, she ended up divorcing Lucas before Lucas revealed his tender heart to her. They had been divorced for a year, but Jessica suddenly knew that Lucas loved her.  Jessica flipped over on the bed, her tears streaming down uncontrollably.  She was never a sentimental person and had hardly cried since her childhood

      "I'm here for you." Lucas immediately frowned. He didn't like it when Jessica talked to him in such a polite manner.  "I'm sorry. I still have something to do today. Excuse me." Jessica smiled and was about to leave.  "Then I'll give you a lift." Lucas raised his hand to check the time on his watch and then pointed to the car next to him.  Jessica raised her eyebrows and said casually, "No need. It's out of your way."  "You didn't even tell me where you were going. How do you know I wasn't on the way?" Lucas' low and charming voice carried a hint of grievance.  Jessica felt a little helpless. Couldn't Lucas see that she was refusing him?  Jessica said with a smile, "I'll repeat, there's no need. Mr. Thomas, aren't you busy? Don't you need to spend time running the Thomas Group?"  Lucas' eyes darkened. He was just about to say something when Wendy walked out of the company and came to Jessica.  Wendy glanced at Lucas, then turned her

      Jessica looked at Lucas from behind as he left, and she was unable to come back to her senses for a moment.  Lucas' decision was unexpected to her, and Jessica even forgot to express her mockery.  She had been married to Lucas for three years. She knew that Lucas was a man of his word.  Jessica became curious if Lucas could succeed.  After all, it was not easy to send Olivia away from the Thomas family.  Jessica returned to her senses and turned towards the entrance to the Hall Group building.  Lucas had given the shares to her, so she did not need to go to the Davison Group for further negotiation.  As soon as she returned to the office, she immediately asked Wendy to contact all the current shareholders of the Sandoval Group for a shareholder meeting.  Terry had noticed Jessica's move the moment Jessica started to purchase the shares of the Sandoval Group.  Therefore, when he received a call, Terry was not surprised that a sh

     Jessica's words upset both Lucas and Grace, whose faces turned sullen.  Lucas didn't like it when Grace brought up their divorce again in public.  Grace, on the other hand, was angry because Terry hadn't even glanced at her.  Just as Grace was about to lose control of her anger, Jessica slowly asked, "Miss Sandoval, are you targeting me because of Mr. Davison?"  Grace glanced at Tony. She quickly calmed down after a moment of panic.  Grace felt that there was no need to hide her true feelings in front of her father.  "Good. So you know that. The Thomas family just abandoned you. Is that why you are so eager to ride on Terry's coattails?"  Jessica sneered and ignored her.  "If only what you said was true. I would be so honored. It's a pity that Miss Hall has been rejecting me all the time." Terry chuckled and added.  "T!" Grace's face turned pale when she heard Terry's words.  Terry even laughed at himself to help Jessica.

      Lucas didn't return to his office after leaving the Sandoval Group. He asked the driver to go back to the Thomas villa.  After getting out of the car, Lucas threw the coat to the butler and went to Justin's study alone.  Dwayne's report let Justin know that Lucas had given the shares of the Sandoval Group to Jessica. After Lucas entered the study, Justin finally revealed a satisfied smile.  "Lucas, I heard that you gave Jessica the Sandoval shares. You did a good job, my smart boy."  Justin didn't care about the shares of a small company. If these shares were conducive to Jessica's remarriage to Lucas, the Thomas Group could get far more benefits.  Justin had been engaged in the business world for many years, so he was well aware of these schemes.  During this period, Lucas had been making his own decisions and escaping Justin's control. Now, Lucas had finally followed his expectations without going awry.  Lucas lowered his head to hide th

    Hannah drove the car to the bottom of the apartment building, parked the car, and looked at Jessica beside her. She deliberately asked, "Do I not need to take you upstairs?"Jessica undid her seatbelt and gave her a glance, "Go have fun."Asking knowingly!Hannah smiled and assumed an obedient and compliant look, saying, "Okay, Miss Hall."Jessica was too lazy to argue with her, so she opened the car door and got out of the car. She walked to the side and waved her hand at her, then turned around and entered the apartment.Hannah kept watching Jessica walk into the apartment from the car, until she couldn't see her figure anymore before driving away.There weren't many people in the elevator at that time. Jessica stood alone in the elevator, thinking about the man she had just seen. She furrowed her brows and took out her phone to call Wendy.Suddenly receiving a call from Jessica, Wendy thought something had happened and nervously said, "Miss Hall?""I just ran into Dominic when I wa

    October passed in the blink of an eye. Terry was away on a business trip for the past two days, and as soon as Hannah heard about it, she quickly arranged to meet up with Jessica.She personally drove to Jessica's house and picked her up downstairs. The two of them had hardly seen each other since that day at the Cloud Top.Jessica was about to give birth in just over a month, and her belly was no longer able to hide it.November in LA was biting the tail of autumn, not particularly cold yet, but the evening wind was a bit strong.Jessica was wearing a white woolen knitted long skirt, with a beige coat on top, and a pair of white shoes on her feet. Wendy followed behind her, always on guard in case someone accidentally bumped into her.It was during the rush hour when Jessica, who was heavily pregnant at the time, Wendy was worried about her going downstairs alone.Jessica was wearing white shoes and walking at a moderate pace. Soon, she spotted Hannah in the crowd.Hannah was right n

    Susie's strength was completely drained by Lucas's words, and she raised her head in astonishment, saying, "I understand if you blame me, but even if I hadn't interfered in your and Jessica's affair, it might not have worked out."She said, and then smiled sadly, "Lucas, in the end, it's because you can't compare to Terry! If it were Terry, he wouldn't have let Jessica suffer for three years at all!"Since they had already torn their faces apart, Susie didn't need to be polite to him either.The two of them stared at each other, their eyes filled with a deep hatred as if they wished the other person dead.Susie hated Lucas' cruelty, and Lucas hated Susie's viciousness.Susie looked at him and suddenly laughed, "Neither of us is a good person. We both deserve the situation we are in today. You blame me for making Jessica take the blame, but Jessica has been married to you for three years and you never even tried to get to know her!""I admit the consequences I brought upon myself, but

    "Mummy."A young and immature male voice sounded, and only then did Susie come back to her senses.She lowered her head and looked at her son, reaching out to touch Denzel's head. She saw the candy in his hand and asked, "Did Auntie give it to you?"Denzel nodded and felt a little embarrassed, "I didn't eat, Mommy.""Go ahead, Auntie praises you for being cute."Susie pursed her lips and led Denzel towards the pharmacy area.The weather in October was getting colder. Jessica, being led by Terry, walked out of the hospital gate and shivered a little as a gust of cold wind blew. Instinctively, she snuggled into Terry's arms.Terry pulled his windbreaker a bit, “Cold?""The wind was strong."The two of them were talking and walking towards the parking lot. Just as they entered the parking lot, Jessica and Terry ran into Lucas, who had just gotten out of his car.This is the first time Jessica and Lucas have faced each other since she regained her memory. It has been about six months sinc

    "No."He turned to the side and raised his hand to help her tidy up the stray hair near her ear.Jessica looked at him with a half-smile and said, "Guess whether I believe it or not."Terry chuckled lightly, raising an eyebrow, "I was number 101."Jessica raised an eyebrow and said, "You were quite proud.""Compared to your 275 love letters, I dare not be proud."Jessica was rarely embarrassed, "How did you know?""We have to thank Miss Howell for this."Jessica lightly bit her lip and asked, "When did Hannah tell you?""It wasn't she who told me, it was what I heard."Terry paused for a moment and said, "Of course, it wasn't eavesdropping."Back then, he had just started dating Jessica not long ago. One time, when he and Jessica went to the Cloud Top, he overheard Hannah talking to Jessica about love letters. He happened to listen in and heard Hannah say that Jessica had received two hundred and seventy-five love letters."I haven't seen it, Hannah took it apart."Hannah used to be v

    The news of Jessica's pregnancy didn't spread until August. On the day Terry accompanied her for a prenatal check-up, they were photographed by an acquaintance.Jessica was 25 weeks pregnant, and her belly had started to show a slight bump. However, she was wearing a long dress, and if it weren't for being in the obstetrics department, no one would have guessed that she was pregnant.After the news of Jessica's pregnancy spread, Morgan and May received numerous congratulatory phone calls. Many people wanted to show their respect to the Hall family by taking advantage of Jessica's pregnancy.But the Hall family was not lacking money, and Terry was not lacking money either. This flattery is really not a good idea. In case it backfires, it would be even more embarrassing.So after thinking it over, everyone felt that it would be more secure to make a phone call to congratulate.In just three short hours, Morgan had already received nearly twenty phone calls.May was still worried that Mo

    "Here you go."This time, without Terry's instructions, Mona prepared baby's breath.Terry took the bouquet and nodded at Mona, saying, "Thank you.""No need to be polite."Romantic love stories in reality, everyone loves to watch.I didn't have love, so it's good to see other people's love!Just now, the bar that was not lively has started to have people coming in one after another.If possible, Mona even wanted Jessica to play the drums again on top of it.Of course, she knew it was impossible.Terry took the flowers and went up on stage, while Jessica was singing, "And with each passing day, this drunkard loves you more and more, until it overflows. I love you the most, and we will be together in this lifetime..."Terry held the flowers and slowly walked towards her from one side.The stage lights shone on the two of them, and from a distance, it looked like a painting.Terry handed the flowers over, he didn't step down, but instead he embraced Jessica's waist, raised his hand and

    Without much thought, Hannah took a sip of her cocktail and casually asked, "What's the matter? Why do you have to make such a big deal out of it?"Jessica smiled and said, "It's nothing major, just wanted to let you know that I was pregnant.""Oh, it really wasn't a big deal either."As soon as Hannah finished speaking, people reacted. Her hand holding the cup loosened in fright, and the cup fell directly from her hand, hitting the ground with a "crash" and shattering.Hannah couldn't care less about that. She lowered her head and looked at Jessica's belly, reaching out to touch it, but she didn't feel anything, “Oh my god, you're pregnant? How long have you been pregnant? Why can't I feel anything?"Jessica immediately slapped her hand away, saying, "It's only been over twenty weeks, what can you feel?!"Mona on the side, however, remained calm, “Congratulations to you."Jessica clicked her tongue and said, "Why do you seem completely unsurprised?"Mona blinked her eyes and said, "G
