Shane looked at Jessamine in surprise. "Did you order pizza?"Jessamine got up and went toward the door. "Let's have a look."The door swung open. When Jessamine saw the man standing outside the door, she suddenly felt her heart constricting in her chest. She'd only found peace for a few days, and now, her heart was racing once more."What are you doing here?""You have the guts to ask me that question? Is it appropriate for a married woman to live with single men? Come home with me.""A married woman? Don't you think I'm no longer that? We've agreed to divorce. Let's just settle the divorce by tomorrow."She didn't want to drag it out any longer.However, Thaddeus ignored her ramble completely. He forcefully picked her up and carried her out of the house. Then, he called out to Jordan and said, "Go in and bring out all of her suitcases."He said so in a dominating and overbearing tone."You bastard! Put me down this instant!"Jessamine kicked and struggled in Thaddeus' arms.

The chowder was still the same today, like every other time Lana made it.However, the chowder's aroma made Jessamine feel nauseous.Lana was shocked. She hurriedly tasted the chowder to see if there was anything wrong with it but realized it was fine. She then put down the spoon, hurried over to Jessamine, and thumped her gently on the back. However, there was a look of confusion on her face. After all, she'd been through this before."Mrs. Holt, are you possibly pregnant?"Jessamine's face turned beet red. She suppressed her dry-retching and pushed the bowl of seafood chowder away from her."No," Jessamine replied. "My period just ended a while ago."With that, Jessamine hoped that Lana wouldn't push any further. And to avoid further suspicion, Jessamine left the dining room as quickly as she could.The room to the study was still tightly shut. She cautiously went up the stairs as quietly as possible. She took a sleeping gown from the master bedroom before going back to the

Chapter 23

Jessamine flinched and felt the goosebumps traveling down her neck and spreading all over her body. "Mr. Holt, we're getting divorced. We shouldn't sleep in the same room anymore or share the same blanket. Please go back to your master's bedroom. The guest bedroom bed is too hard for your body."Jessamine's voice was shaky as she reminded him of their upcoming divorce. She was really afraid that he would do inappropriate things to her."I thought you liked it when we shared a blanket."There was a teasing tone in Thaddeus' voice. Jessamine felt her face heating up. It felt like a literal slap to her face because he wasn't wrong.For the first few months of their marriage, Thaddeus seldom returned to Jardin Estate but spent the night at his other houses instead. She did everything she could to get him to spend the night with her. She'd even gone as far as to put on kinky lingerie to coax him home.She had wanted to be with him in the past as she always missed him. She had also be

"L-Let go of me! I'm calling the police if you force yourself on me again!"Thaddeus could tell that the woman in his arms was truly not in the mood for sex tonight. He could tell whether she was faking her resistance or not each time. But when he heard her bring up the police, he nearly lost his mind trying to hold his laugh.Jessamine used to be as docile as a rabbit in the past. Yet, today, she kept talking back to him and even threatened to call the police on him. Nobody ever dared to speak to him that way in the whole of Zensville. This was the first.Jessamine had the nerve."Then go ahead and report me to them. Because I'm in the mood for sex today, and I don't care if you're not."Only half of what he said was the truth. But Jessamine was already so terrified that she curled up in terror and instinctively held her lower abdomen. Tears started streaming down her face.Jessamine knew that Thaddeus hated being threatened with anything. She couldn't use force against him. All

"Noah? What are you doing here?"Noah was sitting on the living room couch with one leg crossed over the other. He was sipping on a mug of coffee while waiting for her. This was also his first time at Jordin Estate."You're awake, Madam Jessamine. Mr. Thomas said he missed you this morning and wanted you to stay in Holt Manor for a few days, so he asked me to bring you there."It was Joe speaking. Noah just nodded and said, "I'm just here on Father's orders."The pot of coffee was almost empty. It looked as if they had been waiting for her all day.Jessamine blushed. She quickly asked Lana, "Why didn't you wake me up to tell me we had guests?"Lana coughed softly and said embarrassedly, "Mr. Holt purposely told me to let you continue sleeping until you woke up on your own. He said that he, uhh, tired you out last night."Jessamine frowned when she heard this. What kind of perverted sentence was that?They hadn't done anything of the sort last night! Why did he have to go and

Jessamine suggested that as she saw the family doctor's car on the grounds when she entered the manor just now. She figured that the doctor was already attending to her. Jessamine simply couldn't be bothered about Sasha's well-being. She was simply being courteous with Heather."He's already taken a look at her," Heather replied.Sasha heard Jessamine's voice downstairs. All of a sudden, she didn't feel dizzy anymore, and her stomach didn't hurt anymore. She flung the covers off her and rushed downstairs like a bull seeing red."Jessamine fucking Patton! Don't fucking pretend to be a good person like that. I know you told someone to do this to me!"Jessamine raised an eyebrow in amusement. She put on a confused look and asked, "What did I supposedly tell someone to do?"Heather immediately rushed over to restrain Sasha and drag her back to her room. "Shush, what nonsense are you saying? Your sister-in-law just stepped into the manor. What could she possibly do to you?"Sasha was

The slap was loud and clear. Five red fingerprints appeared instantly on Sasha's face.She was slapped silly. Since she was young, she had been the apple of everyone's eye. Nobody had smacked her, slapped her, or even raised their voice at her. And to think that her first slap came from Thomas, the kindest, most well-respected person in the Holt family!Sasha's eyes widened as she stared at Thomas in disbelief. She was so shocked that she even forgot to cry."This slap is to remind you that the Holt family does not tolerate unruly behavior like yours. You should also keep in mind never to meddle with your brother and sister-in-law's relationship. It's high time you fixed this shitty behavior of yours. Otherwise, you're going to regret it someday."Sasha drew her lips in a thin line and felt like she wanted to cry, but she didn't dare to. Her face was still burning with pain.Thomas was truly furious.At that very same moment, the hatred Sasha had for Jessamine just increased tenf

Chapter 28

Holt Jewelry had just acquired a medium-sized company. Initially, Thaddeus didn't have to be present personally for the acquisition. Holt Jewelry had more than enough capable people to handle it.However, Thaddeus changed his mind and insisted on being there for the acquisition. In addition to that, he was also afraid of answering Jessamine's calls. Jordan figured that they must have quarreled."Mr. Holt, Mrs. Holt seems to be wanting you home as soon as possible."Jordan laid it out nicely like this, but he was also worrying about himself. After all, he had received too many phone calls from his own fiancée asking him when he'd finally be home.Thaddeus just scoffed and said, "Of course she wants me home."She wanted him home so that they could finalize their divorce.Jordan didn't realize that he was going in the wrong direction altogether. He then said, "If that's the case, should I go out and buy some Bigsville souvenirs for you to bring home to Mrs. Holt?"Thaddeus lit up a

Chapter 29

Jessamine shook her head."We've already signed the divorce papers. There's no need to tell him anymore. It's not like he doesn't have other children to worry about."This was too much information for Melissa to take in at once. Melissa's jaw dropped."He has other children? Bastard kids?""Something like that, but he'll be able to bring that kid home to Holt Manor very soon."Jessamine supposed Thaddeus would marry Amy and bring her home in all her glory as soon as their divorce was finalized. After all, the baby bump in Amy's tummy should be visible very soon.And Thomas had been hoping for a grandchild of his own for such a long time. Jessamine couldn't help feeling bitter about it.When she returned to Holt Manor, she caught sight of Thaddeus' shiny Bentley in the garage.He was back.Jessamine parked and entered the manor. Thaddeus was standing at the floor-to-ceiling windows, making a phone call with his back to the door. His silhouette against the window made him look c

"Speaking, may I know what the matter is?"The property manager then said hesitatingly, "Um, the neighbor below your unit made a complaint that you were a little too loud last night, and it's affected their sleep. We're all adults here, so I'm sure you know what I mean, right?"I hope you and your husband will tone it down next time so you won't bother the neighbors again."Jessamine's heart turned cold. There was a lump stuck in her throat. For a brief moment, she wondered if she was a murderer in her past life that made her deserve this kind of treatment from Thaddeus now.So, Thaddeus spent the night at Islington Apartments last night.And he had hot, loud, earth-shattering sex with Amy.The apartments there should be very well soundproofed. Just how loud did they have to be for her to receive complaints from the downstairs neighbors like this?He was such an impatient man. He couldn't even wait for their divorce to be finalized to fuck Amy. It also didn't seem like he cared
