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.

    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

    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

    Terry, saying this, actually took out his phone.Jessica glanced at him. "No need for that."After speaking, she cast a sideways glance at Hannah.Hannah realized she had said something wrong and, feeling guilty, avoided eye contact. "Tanya’s calling me. I’ll head in first, you two carry on!"As she spoke, she retreated toward the entrance of the bar and, once there, quickly turned and ran back inside.Jessica watched Hannah's retreating figure and couldn't help but chuckle.How spineless."Would you accompany me for something to eat?" Terry asked. After a more than ten-hour flight, he was already hungry.Jessica had said she wanted to go home, not just to brush off Hannah. She had been working overtime the whole past week, so this rare free weekend was a time to relax and chat a bit. She didn’t have Hannah's energy to keep partying all night.She really did want to go home and sleep.But Terry knew very well that she was soft-hearted, and his approach was gentle. His voice was soft, a

    Terry had already noticed Lucas's car catching up in the rearview mirror, but he wasn't concerned. If Lucas wanted to follow him, so be it. What Terry hadn't anticipated was Lucas's madness—he rammed his car straight into Terry's.When the airbags deployed, Terry cursed. Even though Lucas hit the brakes at the last second, the impact was still significant. The force of the collision left Terry momentarily dazed, with his mind going blank for a second.The crash between the two luxury cars startled the passing drivers, who felt relieved they hadn't gotten involved. A minor scratch on these vehicles could cost a year's salary.Lucas had been driving a Porsche that night. Despite braking, the front of his car was badly damaged, and the windshield cracked, sending shards of glass into his hand, slicing a long gash across his hand.Blood flowed from the wound, but Lucas seemed oblivious. He pulled out his phone, suddenly feeling the urge to call Jessica and tell her he loved her.He knew he

    When Jessica spoke, her tone was completely flat, much like the way she looked at Lucas—cold and devoid of any other emotion.Some people say that the past should be left in the past. But for Jessica, whether or not she still loved Lucas, the wounds she had suffered would never truly heal.The events of that night were still vivid in her memory. The midnight rain was as cold as her heart had become.Lucas was questioning her ruthlessness?What a joke. When it came to being ruthless, no one could compare to him.She didn’t want to exchange another word with him. Now, when Jessica looked at Lucas, she felt nothing.She had decided to give up on this man, and she truly had.This time, Lucas didn’t dare to stop Jessica again.As he stood there, memories of that night a year ago flooded back to him.Ironically, a flash of lightning suddenly streaked across the sky, and a downpour began, just like the night he had forced Jessica to kneel before the Thomas family shrine.Over a year later, he

    Lucas was indeed in a bad state. When Vincent arrived at the hospital with Lucas’s spare clothes, the doctor informed him that Lucas had fallen unconscious.Vincent knew that Lucas had been suffering from insomnia for over half a month and had been worried that his body wouldn’t hold up. It seemed almost fortunate that Lucas had collapsed in the hospital.Lucas had been changed into a hospital gown, and the nurse explained that he had been in a car accident and, after getting his head injury bandaged, had gone out into the rain. Concerned about the wound getting infected, they had given him a hospital gown to change into, but as soon as he had changed, he collapsed.A man over six feet tall suddenly falling over had caused quite a commotion, and it took several night-shift nurses a lot of effort to get him onto the hospital bed.Fortunately, the tests showed nothing too serious; his heart rate and other vital signs were normal.Vincent was shocked by this and immediately had someone in

    Jessica felt a bit flustered by his words and tried to steer the conversation away. "I have a 9 o'clock meeting."Hearing this, Terry's playful smile faded slightly, replaced by a more serious expression. "There are still twelve minutes left. I’ll drive you there."Jessica wanted to say something else, but Terry had already closed the door and taken hold of her wrist. "Let's go, Miss Hall. Even though you’re the boss, being late to a meeting is never a good thing."He was right.Jessica didn’t argue further. If she did, it wouldn’t just be a few minutes of lateness.The morning rush had just passed, so while there was still a lot of traffic, it wasn’t gridlocked.Jessica was still late. As soon as the car stopped, she quickly unbuckled her seatbelt and got out. "Thanks, I’m going in.""I’ll pick you up later this afternoon."Jessica paused for a moment as she closed the car door. "Alright."Terry had driven her car away, so if he didn’t pick her up, she’d have to take a taxi home.Wend

    After Hannah entered the room, she had originally planned to look at her phone for a while.I didn't expect that the person lay in bed and fell asleep in just a few minutes.When Kendall came out of the shower, Hannah was already fast asleep in bed.He sighed with relief, turned off the main light in the bedroom, and left only a night light.When he came back, he was wearing a long-sleeved shirt and long pants, and Hannah naturally couldn't see the wounds on his body.But at this time, after taking a shower, the scratches on the legs were quite shocking.He redischarged the water-soaked small wound, then picked a vibrating alarm clock and placed his phone under the pillow. After completing all of this, Kendall turned off the lights and lay down on the bed.In the November night of LA, the temperature was not high. Hannah was sleeping in her bed, and as soon as she got in, it became very warm.Kendall was afraid that the cold ai

    Kendall glanced at him with some dissatisfaction and said, "Take me home, are you deaf?"Marcelo laughed and said, "I'm not deaf, I'm just afraid that I might have misheard."He said, unable to help but click his tongue: "Weren't you just saying, let me ask Franco to open a hotel near the company for you, and get you some clothes? How come now, you suddenly want to go home and see your wife?""I was worried because she was alone."Kendall thought about that day when he received a call from Hannah. Although she didn't explicitly say it, he could sense that she was quite flustered because she had woken up and not seen him.He was only worried about scaring her, but he forgot that she was alone at home, so her mood must not have been good these days.As soon as he thought about it, he couldn't continue leaving her alone at home.And, including the days he was away on a business trip, he hadn't seen Hannah for six days.Marcelo had

    Kendall went on a business trip, and Hannah lived alone in such a big house, feeling empty."Do you want to stay at my place for a night? It's quite close to your company, it's only a ten-minute walk."When she said this, Hollis was very moved: "How many days is your husband on a business trip?""At least four or five days.""Mr. Hawthorne was courageous to start a business at this time."Hollis paused and said, "Do you want me to accompany you these few days?"Hannah thought for a moment, "Well, it's also quite boring to have dinner alone at night."Hollis smiled and looked at her, "You never used to say that eating alone is boring, it's true that you're a married person!"Hannah smirked slightly, "I didn't used to think eating alone was boring.""I understood, I understood!"After discussing, Hannah and Hollis returned to the apartment. Hollis packed clothes for a few days and followed Hannah home, holding a com

    Hannah was sleeping so deeply that she didn't even hear the sound of her phone ringing.Kendall quickly hung up the phone and brought out a thin blanket from the room, gently covering it over her.Having finished these tasks, he sat down on the side and looked at Hannah on the sofa, his gaze involuntarily shifting to the small belly under the thin blanket.The month was still early, and nothing could be seen.But at the thought of six months later, there would be a child, either like him or like her, coming into this world, Kendall's heart softened.He didn't sit on the sofa for long, as it was already late and he had to make dinner.Hannah helped tidy up the thin blanket, and only then did Kendall get up and walk to the kitchen to make dinner.When Hannah woke up, she found that the living room had already become dim.She had just woken up and looked at the dimness in front of her, feeling a sudden panic in her heart.B

    When it was opened, it was discovered that there was actually a beautiful glass bottle inside, and the glass bottle was filled with golden beans.Hannah raised an eyebrow, recalling a few years ago when Hollis told her that she was saving gold coins as a retirement fund.This full glass bottle, with Hollis' salary, had to be saved for over a year by scrimping and saving.Hollis' parents wanted her to marry a wealthy second-generation individual who was a suitable match for her social status. However, she was not willing, so she decided to go out and work on her own.The salary is not low either, it's over two hundred thousand a year, and if you're lucky, you can make three hundred thousand a year.After she graduated from university, she insisted on working and did not want to listen to the arrangements from her family.Two years ago, her parents found that she seemed to have "grown wings" and they stopped her card.I have to say, in

    Hannah hugged Kendall tightly and leaned in his arms for a while before speaking, "I just woke up and didn't see you, it felt a bit strange."Hannah has always been carefree and easygoing. It was only a short while after they separated that she started thinking about him, and this was the first time it had happened.Kendall looked down at the person for a moment and said, "I will tell you before we go out next time."Hannah nodded and glanced out of the window, "Is it very hot outside?"Although it was already October, the sun outside still looked like it was July or August."Not very hot, do you want to go out?"She shook her head and said, "No, I just saw such a big sun and got curious."The two of them sat on the sofa for a while, and Kendall asked her if she wanted to eat some fruit."What did you buy?""We all bought some."He said and got up, entering the kitchen.Soon, Kendall came out carrying a fru

    "Okay."Hannah subconsciously wanted to reach out and touch, but halfway through, she remembered that her hair conditioner was sticky and uncomfortable, so she put her raised hand back down.She leaned directly into the arms of the person behind her, and the hair conditioner on her hair rubbed directly onto Kendall's neck.Hannah saw it and felt a sense of joy after the prank, so she deliberately bumped into it a few more times.Kendall looked down at her, not saying anything, with a smile in his peach blossom eyes.Hannah felt a little embarrassed as he looked at her, and she cleared her throat and stood up, saying, "I went to take a shower.""Wasn't it said to wait for ten minutes?"He reached out and wrapped his arm around her waist, then lowered his head and bit her lip.Hannah felt pain and raised her hand to touch her lips, saying, "What are you doing?""I kissed my wife, do you have any objections?""Are yo

Naturally, Jaylen is the one who has to protect his daughter.Moreover, Blaine, as a father, was also incompetent.Blaine turned red and trembled as Jaylen's words hit him. After a moment, he managed to squeeze out a sentence, gritting his teeth, "No matter what, I am still his father!""It's hard to say, when a father doesn't act like a father, it's normal for the son to disown him.""Jaylen! Wasn't your comment too harsh?""Was it excessive?"Jaylen looked directly at Georgia, who glanced at Blaine and said, "It's not excessive."Some people, when they were sons, did not act like good sons. When they were husbands, they did not act like good husbands. When they were fathers, they did not act like good fathers. Now that they are old, they still want to rely on

    Kendall carried the sleeping Hannah down the stairs from the banquet hall.As soon as he entered the lobby, Blaine's face turned pale and he quickly walked towards Kendall.Kendall stopped in the middle of the lobby, carrying Hannah on his back.In just a few seconds, Blaine walked up to him and raised his hand, slapping Kendall.However, the slap did not land on Kendall's face, as it was intercepted by Jeffrey's mother who had arrived: "What are you doing?"Jeffrey's mother watched as Blaine slapped him, feeling a sense of overwhelming fear.It has only been over half a year since Konnor passed away, and his will is still in Caiden's possession.
