Jessica was slightly stunned. She took the garments and realized that it was really a set of sleeping robes. She shot the man a confused look. Why would she change into sleeping robes for a movie? “Don’t worry. The robes are newly bought. They don’t recycle items here.” This kind of private theatre was not built to earn movie tickets. She did not have to pick a fault in the details. Blake nodded at the room behind her and signaled her to go in. Jessica walked in with the sleeping robe and she realized that the room was equipped with a shower. She then emerged in the sleeping robe to see that Blake was already lying down on the couch. The movie was starting, and the intro music was playing. It was an old movie that screamed of nostalgia. Blake looked at Jessica and reached out to her. She put her hand on his and he pulled her into his arms. The lights in the room dimmed down, so the silver screen became the only light source. Jessica leaned on his wide chest as the room
Although Robert might not have officially passed the highest position to Blake, he had already assigned his son to handle most of the company’s operations. The high workload somehow gave Blake a headache. Jessica adjusted the collar of her sleeping robe before she knelt beside Blake and gave him a head massage. Her fingers were soft while the pressure on his head was just nice, making him relax his furrowed brows. He held her slender wrists and put them on his waist. Then, he leaned on her shoulder for a rest. Jessica reached out to the remote control and lowered the volume of the movie. Inside the dim private theatre, time felt like it had slowed down. Jessica fell asleep without realizing it, and when she opened her eyes, she saw Blake looking at her from above her head. He knotted his brows slightly. His dark eyes were bright in the dim environment, and they appeared to be glistening. The music echoed in the room, amplifying the spacious feeling several times more as if in
Ever since the two of them got married, they had sex countless times. She had gotten used to his body, but somehow she was still unable to stay calm in front of him when he was naked. It seemed like she had somehow made him mad back at the private theatre, so why would he have the mood for it tonight? However, if Blake was reading a book on her bed, he must have put Winson to sleep. While Jessica had to face the pressure of being chased out of the family by her in-laws, she tended to love Winson even more. Maybe because of that, Winson loved to be pampered by her. Furthermore, since she was mute, she was a mother who would pamper her child. Blake, on the other hand, always showed a stiff expression. Although he might look strict, Winson felt much safer around him. When Blake heard footsteps, he looked up and put the book aside. He tossed her a piece of towel. “Come here. Dry my hair for me.” Jessica obediently walked over and towel-dried his hair. His hair was much stiffer
Blake’s furious face branded itself in Jessica’s mind, and she had a hard time going back to sleep again. On Saturday morning, Jessica went to the hospital for a medical check-up. In the past two years, she had slept with Blake countless times but never once showed any signs of pregnancy. She was certain that it was not because of her habit of washing up after sex. Even though she already had a hunch, Blake’s word gave her the urge to get it checked. After all, a hunch would be just a hunch if it was not verified. It would be a totally different story with the medical report in hand. “Madam, your body is fine,” the doctor declared after he went through the report. Jessica frowned slightly. She looked at the report carefully and unconsciously bit her lip. She typed on the phone: [But why can’t I get pregnant again? My husband and I never take any precautionary steps.]Curious, the doctor raised a brow at her. A meaningful glance flashed over the doctor’s eyes and she asked, “Do
The call went silent for two seconds before Blake said in his cold voice, “Jane, if you want to continue this nonsense, your brother might not have a double bonus this season. He might not even get half of what’s due.” If Jessica wanted to get her body checked, Blake could guarantee that she would get the same result no matter which hospital she went to in Beijing. “Come on, I’m just speaking the truth,” Jane said with a flattering smile. She then smirked in front of her computer screen, but she realized Blake could not see her at all. However, she was practically petting the tiger here. Even if he could not see her, she must smile to show her sincerity. “And…I also told your wife…something else…” “What?” Blake was running out of patience. Acting shy was not Jane’s style. “I told her that one of the reasons she couldn’t get pregnant in the past two years could be you, so, Mr. Ferguson, please forgive me for the white lie!” Jane blurted everything out and hung up the phone rig
Jessica smiled and signed, “No, something happened at home. That’s why I’m late.” Dean furrowed his brows slightly. “Is it something serious? Do you need any help?” However, she shook her head and smiled at him. She picked up a piece of chicken wing from her plate and waved it. “I’m fine. Go have fun. I want a bite first.” Right after Jessica came back from the hospital, she had accompanied Winson and fed him, thus she had completely forgotten to eat her lunch. Dean glanced at her. As a psychology student, he could tell whether she was facing a problem or not. Her smile looked forced, meaning that she was not happy. Nevertheless, Dean did not say anything as he decided to give her some space. The weather was great. The breeze was comfortable while the autumn sun was warm. Jessica spaced out while staring at the tall sunflower in front of the entrance. On the other hand, after Blake ended the call with Jane, he started to get frustrated for some reason. In the meeting room
Joe stayed behind him quietly, not daring to say a word. “Tell the director of human resources to search for a new project director. Replace him as soon as possible. The Fergusons doesn't want people who can’t make progress.” “Yes, sir.” “Get me my car keys.” “Huh?” Joe was surprised because he did not know what was going on. Blake paused his steps and looked at him coldly. “I said get me my car keys. Do you want me to repeat myself?” “Y-yes, sir.” Joe dared not disobey the tyrant. He got the order and quickly headed to the office to grab the car keys. ‘What kinda tip is this, big sister? Am I really going to get a double bonus this season?’ Blake started the car and drove home. When he arrived home, Ms. Susan was cleaning the house with the vacuum cleaner. Blake never liked noises in the house and Ms. Susan knew that. When he came back, she noticed that he was in a bad mood, so she quickly switched the vacuum cleaner off. He went around the house and then returned
Dean looked at his empty embrace as the sensation of her waist lingered in his arms. Her waist was slim. If she did not wear an oversized coat, it might have been even slimmer. He cleared his throat to clear his fantasy away and asked out of concern, “Jessica, I sense that you are having some problems. If you don’t mind, you can share them with me.” While her being Blake’s wife was no longer a secret, it was not exactly public knowledge either. Just when Jessica wanted to reject Dean’s offer, her waist was hugged by someone from behind, frightening her to her core. She looked around and saw Blake looking at Dean in a hostile manner. “My wife will share her problems with me. Thank you for your concern.” Caught by surprise, Dean looked at Jessica and asked, “Wife?” “What’s wrong? Didn’t she tell you she’s married?” Blake squinted his eyes at Dean before his sharp gaze landed on Jessica. He tightened his arm around her waist even more. Jessica frowned a bit, but she maintained
