Semua Bab Heir of Revenge: Bab 161 - Bab 170

Fathia couldn't stop laughing. Jess was sure that her friend was holding back tears from the story she shared this afternoon. In the end, Asya didn't kick Jess out. She had to finish what she considered a failure in decorating because Loissa unexpectedly praised it so enthusiastically. The sugary layers surrounding the cake were in disarray. Not to mention, the bottom part of the cake, which Jess felt had melted chocolate for some reason. She thought something was wrong with the chocolate coating mixture, and she didn't even bother to try it beforehand. She placed it on the edge in a hurry, and as a result, well... it looked just as bad as it seemed, and it was clearly recorded in Jess's mind as a failed cake."Oh my goodness, Jess. Why are you being so pessimistic? I like it, you know. You can even make small flowers to cover up the mess. I don't see it as ugly," Loissa explained over the phone. "It's good. Artistic. I like it. Don't forget to deliver it by five o'clock, oka

Three, no, four, ah... damn! Five objects now lined up on the bathroom sink in Jess's Beverly Hills apartment are her current focus. They all show almost identical results. Two lines. Jess's heart feels like it stops beating for a fraction of a second, causing an unusual choking sensation."This is insane," she mutters under her breath. "It was just last night... oh, damn it. The whole night, actually. But it was relentless." Jess massages her temples, releasing the frustration that suddenly engulfs her head. "What should I do, dear God!"No. No. No.Telling Kenzo. Yes, that's the right thing to do. But Kenzo? That annoying guy? Argh! Jess half screams in disbelief because she never expected that they would actually stick together that night. As if they were each showing how they both had their own powers, making them overlook that something significant was lurking around them.Like right now. Jess is pregnant.But their relationship itself is very

"If you want to turn right, can you give clear instructions?"Kenzo, who was replying to one of his clients' messages, furrowed his brow in confusion. His mother had left, leaving the two of them in an awkward situation. How could they not be awkward? Jess was left helpless with a lot of implied messages and a load of attention she was receiving."What do you mean, Jess? I don't understand."Jess frowned in displeasure. "What did you say to Mom?"A thin smile played on the man's lips. He set aside the phone that had captured his attention since earlier and this time, he chose to get closer to the girl sitting in the middle of the bed with pursed lips. Her eyes looked very annoyed, and her face switched back to a fierce mode."I told her you're pregnant."She squeezed her eyes shut while massaging her temples. She tried her best to rid herself of the growing frustration in her heart, but it was almost unbearable. "You're asking for trouble!"

Jess returned to the room that had become her private sanctuary. After the silly hug Kenzo gave near the garden, she quickly let go. She chose to flee like a teenage girl who had fallen in love for the first time. The unfortunate part was that Jess stiffened because the hug turned out to be warmer than she remembered. There was a ton of desire in her to reciprocate Kenzo's embrace, to share an unspoken feeling, but... no. Jess didn't want to do that.Their relationship was over. Completely over.Nothing had changed about the man she was so eager to remove from her life. For a year of not meeting, their communication could be described as very poor. Jess didn't want to initiate contact. For Jess, it was Kenzo who had decided to leave. Although she asked, it felt different if she was asked to go with him.Ah, ridiculous.Go with him? Who was Jess to Kenzo?Nobody. Oh no. There was one thing that could actually bind them; marriage. But Jess canceled i

For the past year in Malaysia, Kenzo's life had been monotonous. He did nothing but repeat the same routine day in and day out: wake up, shower and have breakfast, go to work, come back home, and sleep. Occasionally, he'd spend two to three hours at a coffee shop just to unwind. That was it. And it had been going on for the past few months.And now, as he arrived in New York City upon hearing that Jess was staying at Fathia's house, he felt like he was back in the same place. He had taken his accumulated leave days for a future visit, but because of this unexpected opportunity, Kenzo decided to return without much thought.During his year away, he had endured quite a bit of torment, especially the feeling of longing. When was the last time he felt this unusual emotion? It seemed like never. When he realized that Jess had a special place in his heart, he had grown accustomed to being around her. For some reason in the past, he had chosen to leave.When he opened
