MasukChapter 162Oliverlove love love love loveMy pulsed as I stared at the ring sitting pretty in the small ring box again. I'm going to officially ask Jessica to be my girlfriend tonight.We're here at one of the most popular five-star restaurants in the town. I had excused myself a few minutes ago to use the restroom… just to ease the nervousness building inside me.I took a deep breath before going back to join Jessica.“Hey! I was getting worried about you. What took you so long?” She stared, her eyes filled with worries as I pulled out a chair to sit across from her.I smiled, but didn't say much.“So, are you enjoying the food?” I asked, my eyes sweeping over the table. She barely touched her meal.“Hmm… Tastes great…” She glanced up at me, a smile lingering on her face. “You should eat too. Your food is getting cold.”“Yeah, sure.”Silence ruled, my eyes locked on her as she ate, and in my head, I was trying to think of the best time to propose this to her. Should it be when she
Chapter 184 Jessica Hemsworth Sighs. I guess I have to leave then. Just as I stepped out of the car, I spotted someone approaching a car at the parking lot, and my brows knitted together. “That… That's detective Freddie.” For a second, I thought of going over to confront him, but paused as an idea struck my mind. Just then, a taxi approached me, and I quickly hauled it down and jumped in. “Follow that car.” I said as I fastened my seatbelt. The cab driver started the car and started following Freddie's car. Right… I should inform Oliver about this. I reached for my phone and texted him. ‘I found the detective working with Liam. I'm following him. I'll send you my live location’. Seconds after I sent the message, his reply came in. Oliver; ‘I found something to pin Liam down. Come to the police station right away. I'm meeting detective Sean’. My brows furrowed, and I gasped. I quickly turned to the driver and said hurriedly, “Drop me there, please. I have somewhere to
Chapter 180 OLIVER ‘Hey, love! Are you there?’ It's been three minutes since I sent the text to Jessica but she still hasn't written to me back yet. “Is she alright? This is unlike her.” I muttered. “Maybe I should go check on her.” Then I stood and stepped out of my office, heading to hers. A smile circled my lips, my heart fluttering. It felt like I hadn't seen her for days when we literally parted ways just a few minutes ago. Sighs. This is what being in love feels like for me. I always want to be around her. The few employees I'd bump into on my way to her office kept throwing me weird glances. Sighs. Right. They rarely see me smile, so I understand their shock. I placed a knock on the door once I reached her office, and her gentle voice echoed from inside as she ushered me in. My stomach fluttered the moment I saw her. She sat elegantly behind her seat, her eyes glued to the computer. Fuck! She's hot as fuck. “Is there anything I can…” she paused, her bro
Chapter 182Viktor Holt I sat across from Susanne in the dining room, my eyes glued to the empty seat next to me, and my chest tightened.That used to be Jeremy's seat, and the seat next to it was Jessica's.They used to be cheerful… Laughing and playing with each other whenever we were having meals together for the first two years of my marriage with Jessica.If only I didn't ruin everything. If only I wasn't trying to be loyal to a traitor, then maybe I would've still had my family with me now.“Your food is getting cold. You should eat.” Susanne said, her voice calm and soft. She didn't look at me.Sighs. She must be sad about everything. As much as this is unfair to her, I knew I couldn't give her what she wanted from me. I would've asked her to leave if she wasn't carrying my child.“Susanne…” She stared at me, her eyes dripping with pain.“I'm sorry.”She raised a brow. “Huh?”“I'm sorry that I dragged you into this. I'm sorry that I can't be there for you and our child like
