Semua Bab Pregnant on the Cusp of Divorce: Bab 131 - Bab 140

Jessamine hummed in agreement, her tone filled with suspicion.The man sighed and said, "Of course, you threw it away. I'm Jerome Langston. Your brother and I were classmates in elementary school. I'll visit your grandpa another day. Do you mind if we exchange numbers?"Jessamine's thoughts were still focused on the business card. She had totally forgotten that Jerome had given her his business card yesterday.Jerome was an outgoing person. He opened his phone and handed it to her, waiting for her to give him her number.Since Jerome had already held out his phone to her, she couldn't think of a good reason to refuse. She might as well give him her number. At worst, she could just block him later.Jerome seemed to have noticed Jessamine's intentions. As he saved her number, he joked, "You're not going to block me as soon as you leave, are you?"Jessamine sputtered at his words. He was pretty clever. "Ms. Holt, you've been sitting here for so long. Didn't you notice someone follow

"Do you really want a divorce?" Thaddeus asked.Jessamine couldn't figure out what he was thinking. She didn't know if he was serious or messing with her."Are you willing to divorce me?" she asked.Thaddeus scoffed before shoving his lips against hers, kissing her aggressively. "You can't ever bring up the divorce. Got it?""Since I can't bring up the divorce, you're the only one who can do that, right?" she retorted.Thaddeus saw how determined she was to leave him. He questioned, "Will you divorce me even if you don't get a single penny?""I told you. I don't want your money," she said.Thaddeus was furious. "Did you not read the divorce agreement?"When he made the divorce agreement, he considered all the problems she would face in the future. Therefore, he planned to give her money, a house, and a car. However, she didn't even look at it, brushing aside his goodwill."You don't have to worry about the division of assets. I can leave this family with a clean slate." She ev

It was bad enough if other people saw that. But if her friends and family heard that recording, her life would be over."Can you take that post out of the trending topics?" Jessamine pleaded softly. Her determination to get divorced was long gone.Thaddeus couldn't handle her looking at him pitifully with her upturned eyes. He stroked the corner of her eyes with his thumb."Enough. I'm not crying, so why are you? No one can see your face. I probably forgot to end the call back then, and someone recorded us. It's not a big deal," he assured.Jessamine suddenly felt resentful. She looked sad as tears fell from her eyes. "Why were you on that call back then?"Thaddeus licked his lips, not knowing how to answer her. His intuition told him it was a rhetorical question, and he would get reprimanded no matter what answer he gave her. He just wanted to spice things up back then. He didn't expect this to happen."Don't cry. It's not a big deal. I've asked Jordan to handle it. Refresh th

"You…" Her lips were stifled, and her words were cut short before they could fully form. The knock on the door went unnoticed by both of them. Slowly, the door creaked open. "Jessie, did you just call for me?" Thomas asked.Thomas entered the room to find them entangled on the bed. Instant regret washed over him for intruding upon this intimate moment. "Carry on!" With a hasty retreat and a wide grin, he left. Thomas rubbed his hands together with anticipation, feeling that the pitter-patter of little feet might soon grace their home. Jessamine's mind cleared up with the sudden shock. "Get up, Grandpa's outside." Thaddeus rolled to the side as he panted, trying to push away the intrusive thoughts that had taken hold of his mind. He blamed himself for his recklessness under the glaring daylight, with no curtains drawn and the unlocked door. But the sight of her smooth, curvy thighs had ignited a flame within him, a flame beyond his control. Indeed, this woman casted a spell

Thaddeus clenched his fists. It was the first time he had heard such harsh words from her. She claimed he was tainted, and he found himself speechless in defense. That night remained a haze in his memory; he couldn't recall how it happened. Sometimes, he wondered if it was a lie concocted by Amy. But he doubted a woman would bring up her innocence as a matter of concern. For the first time, Thaddeus felt powerless. Matters solvable with money now seemed trivial compared to the complexity of his current situation.The atmosphere in the wardrobe grew tense. Thaddeus' phone vibrated in his pocket. It was a call from Amy. Jessamine caught a glimpse of it. She offered a bitter smile before turning away in resignation. He found Jessamine's reaction ironic. She had transitioned from disliking Amy to adopting an indifferent stance. After a moment of hesitation, he answered the call. "Stop calling me unless it's urgent," he instructed curtly. On the other end, Amy's voic
