Chapter 51
Compared to Selene, Jessamine's reaction was extremely cold."He doesn't have unusually long legs. Is there a need to be so excited?" Jessamine sneered.Selene had a starry-eyed expression. "I've seen hot ones and rich ones, but for someone who combines both top conditions, Mr. Holt is the best in all of Zenville. He truly lives up to his title as every lady's dream husband."Jessamine glanced in the direction everyone was looking. At a distant table, Thaddeus sat with a slightly mature-looking lady adorned in jewels, seemingly discussing business.She hadn't paid much attention to the details in the morning. But now, observing him, she noticed that he was wearing a refined handmade suit, complemented by a deep blue tie.When he extended his hand, a glimpse of a dark-colored shirt cuff was revealed at his wrist. Even the way he drank coffee was elegant and sophisticated. He exuded an exceptional air just sitting there, making the entire coffee shop shine.Coincidentally, Thaddeus

Jessamine was startled when Joe suggested sending the lunch to the cafeteria. "Bring it to the CEO's office," she quickly replied.She couldn't afford to eat lunch sent by the Holt family in public. It would undoubtedly become juicy gossip. But the suggestion of going to the CEO's office made her feel uncomfortable."Joe, I don't feel like eating today. I can just drink some milk. You can put the food directly in the CEO's office. Thaddeus will finish them," she said.On the other end of the phone, Joe was in a dilemma."Madam Jessamine, Mr. Thomas instructed the kitchen to prepare Lumorian-imported berries for you. He's afraid Mr. Thaddeus might sneak a bite, so he told me to watch you eat. Please don't make it difficult for me," Joe pleaded.Jessamine fell silent for a moment. "Okay," she replied.How could she make things difficult for an old man?Jessamine declined the lunch invitation from Selene. Then she waited until most of the office had gone downstairs for lunch before

Thaddeus' face instantly dimmed. Losing his appetite, he put down his fork and said sulkily, "Yes, I hid a woman inside."Jessamine stood up and adjusted her clothes.In a casual and indifferent tone, she replied, "I won't disturb you, then. Enjoy, but pay attention to time. Don't delay your work in the afternoon."After saying this, she pushed the door open and left. She knew Thaddeus' picky and almost abnormal aesthetic. Apart from a top-tier bitch like Amy, no one else could catch his eye.He only loved Amy, and Jessamine knew it best.When she thought of her face, which was very similar to Amy's, she felt bitter.In their three years of marriage, Jessamine had thought Thaddeus might have some feelings for her. At least in bed, when he was passionate, his eyes were full of her.He would whisper her nickname repeatedly in her ear. The name "Jessie" sounded like sugar-coated poison, lulling her into opening her heart to him completely.But all that tenderness was nothing compa

"It's just a few times of vomiting. Maybe someone had food poisoning," Amy said.Amy was mostly saying this to comfort herself.However, as Yvonne was a mother, she knew it best."Ms. Quilton, you're still young and naive. Women mostly vomit due to pregnancy. It's morning sickness. If it was food poisoning, vomiting once or twice would clear the stomach. It won't continue," she explained.Amy was anxious and spoke a bit harshly. "Stop talking nonsense. Have you seen her ultrasound?"As the workplace elderly, Yvonne felt a bit embarrassed to be scolded by a lady in her 20s but didn't dare say much. After all, the entire design department had to work based on Amy's mood."It's just small talk," Yvonne said softly."Have you finished your work? You should focus on your design tasks today," Amy reprimanded. Yvonne left dejectedly after being criticized.Only Amy remained in the pantry. The more she thought about it, the more chaotic her mind became. Could Jessamine really be preg

When Amy arrived at the CEO's office, Thaddeus was still busy working. He didn't even spare a glance at her when she entered."Teddy, what do you want to discuss with me?" she asked.Thaddeus instinctively looked at the door. It was closed.This action upset Amy. Wasn't it just calling him "Teddy" at the office? Did he need to be this vigilant? She had been calling him that for more than a decade.Thaddeus put down his pen, maintaining a professional expression."Amy, you've spent three years abroad, and you have a wide circle of friends in this industry. Do you have any way to contact Lolly?" he asked.Amy acted as though his office were her home as she casually hung her bag on his standing coat rack. Then she walked around to Thaddeus and gave him a shoulder massage."Are you talking about Swan's designer, Lolly?" Amy inquired.Thaddeus nodded. "Yes, her. Amy, stop massaging. Sit in front of me. I'm discussing business with you."Amy reluctantly sat on the sofa opposite him.

Jessamine came with a mission—She had to sabotage Shane's blind date. Her makeup was just right for the occasion.Just then, she received a distress message from Shane. "Table seven, hurry!"Jessamine made a few expressions in front of the mirror and then walked toward table seven, carrying her bag.At the table, Shane and the lady on his opposite side had just sat down. They ordered a set meal but it hadn't arrived yet, so they were engaged in awkward small talk."I was looking for you, Shane!" Jessamine cried out.Hearing Jessamine's voice, Shane looked at her as if she were a lifesaver."Jessie, quickly come here," he said.He waved to Jessamine and introduced the lady on the opposite side."I'm sorry, Ms. Emerson. My dad didn't know I already had a girlfriend, which caused a big misunderstanding. This meal is on us. I hope you don't mind," Shane apologized.Seeing Jessamine, the lady on the opposite side wondered what kind of strange situation she was involved in. Who woul

Thaddeus walked over with a cold expression. In those brief seconds, Jessamine made a hundred different plans in her mind.If he had really heard her conversation with Shane and knew about her pregnancy, then she would call Amy over and make things clear.He would have to choose between two pregnant ladies.Even though the odds were not in her favor, Jessamine wouldn't allow him to do anything that could harm her babies. She must bring her babies into this world.If Thaddeus refused, she would die with her babies.Perhaps she could bring Amy and her baby along. This could leave Thaddeus to grow old alone.Silently, Jessamine watched him approach as if waiting for a verdict.She was mentally prepared for anything. In her mind, she was reassuring her unborn twins."Don't be scared. I'll do whatever it takes to protect you. If Dad doesn't want you, it's not because you're not good enough. He's just not worthy!" Jessamine thought.Every second felt like mental torture. Jessamine h

"Why did you come to a couple's restaurant with him?" Thaddeus finally questioned.Jessamine's waist was knocked against the car door, causing her pain. Subconsciously, she protected her abdomen with her hand, but she felt a sense of relief inside.He hadn't mentioned the baby, which meant he hadn't heard her conversation with Shane. Her secret pregnancy was still safe."Didn't you also come with Amy? Why can't I?" she retorted."Are you so free? Drinking coffee at work and dating a man after work. Is it because Grandpa is protecting you? You can't find your Malcolm, so you've started settling for anyone?" Thaddeus questioned endlessly.They were currently on different channels, arguing as though they came from different planets.Although Jessamine felt insulted by his words, she chuckled as if she had heard the joke of the century."Thaddeus, you might love trash, but don't assume others share your taste. You know Shane. There's nothing between us. How can you slander me like t

Jessamine's words angered Thaddeus. Amy seemed like a thorn between them, causing pain for both of them.He had been waiting for the day of their divorce for three years. But now that the day was really here, he realized he wasn't as eager as he thought.He expected Jessamine to at least cause a scene. Yet she nonchalantly signed the divorce papers and rushed to get the divorce certificate.What did she take him for? A plaything in times of loneliness? Or a passing fling in high school?He gripped her chin with one hand and kissed her forcefully, biting down harshly on her lips. A metallic taste spread between their mouths."I'm your husband, Jessamine. As long as you don't have the divorce certificate, you're still Mrs. Holt. Please be mindful of your status before doing anything or making friends. You'll tarnish the reputation of the Holt family," he reprimanded.Jessamine wiped her lips, leaving a smear of bright red on the back of her hand. She didn't know if it was lipstick

Jessamine seemed to have poor learning ability, as she showed no improvement in her kissing skills after three years.Thaddeus even had the impulse to throw her into the car and get intimate with her then and there.For a moment, he was startled by his thoughts.People had impulses, but the difference between humans and animals was that humans could control their actions.But at that moment, he didn't want to act like a human. He just wanted to follow his heart.In the distance, Amy stood under a streetlamp. The light on top of her made her shadow on the ground seem small. It was so small that even if her high heels made noise, Thaddeus could not be able to hear her.At this moment, his eyes were only on Jessamine. He was already under a spell.Amy trembled with anger as she watched Thaddeus and Jessamine passionately kiss in front of her. In fact, the woman who was absorbed in the kiss glanced at Amy mockingly.That look shattered Amy's fierce determination.She had worked so
