Semua Bab Pregnant on the Cusp of Divorce: Bab 781 - Bab 790

After Thaddeus finished speaking, there was another period of silence between them.Jessamine felt quite pleased with his cautious explanation. His attitude had caused her mood to improve significantly."Am I really such a petty person in Mr. Holt's mind?" she asked.Thaddeus took a deep breath. "Jessie, are you not mad?""Are you kidding? Trying to hide something like this from me would be suspicious. Since you've openly admitted it, why should I be mad?"Thaddeus wiped away the sweat from his forehead. "Honey, I'm kind of missing you."The unexpected, straightforward show of affection left Jessamine feeling momentarily confused."Why are you shouting? You're just a trial boyfriend and have yet to pass the evaluation. Mr. Holt still needs to work harder," Jessamine said.Thaddeus replied with a hint of grievance, "I'll do my best. I'm flying to Hajera in three days, so let me know in advance if there's anything you want me to bring.""I just flew back, and I don’t have anythi

Thomas paused for a moment before saying, "It was fine in the past, but now I don't want to live with you youngsters. It's troublesome."Thaddeus sensed that he was being disdained by Thomas once again. "Grandpa, it's no trouble at all. I promise I won't make any noise during your resting time. There shouldn't be any other issues, right?"Thomas held the phone, a slight smile forming at the corner of his lips. When he said that it was troublesome, he wasn't referring to himself; he was concerned that it might be troublesome for the younger folks.It wasn't easy for Thaddeus to get his wife back. Young people needed their space to get along, so he definitely wouldn't want to be the one to intrude."I'm not going. If you buy a new house, then I'll consider it."Thaddeus rubbed his forehead. Thomas was acting even more rebellious than his children, throwing a small tantrum at him."Grandpa, how about you stay at my place and I'll move out?"Thomas had resisted the strong temptati

Over in Hajera, Jessamine had applied a professional makeup look and wore a blouse paired with a formal skirt. She exuded a powerful and confident professional demeanor from head to toe.She was driving her car to the company when her assistant, Judith, called."Jacinda, are you sure you'll be back today?"Jessamine had one earbud on, and her mouth parted slightly to reply, "I'm already on my way to the office."Judith, on the other end, sounded excited. "Jacinda, you're finally back! There's a designer scheduled for an interview this afternoon. Their resume mentions experience at a major company. You should personally oversee this one."When the red light changed, Jessamine gently pressed on the gas pedal. "Let's talk later, I'll be there soon."The company had been actively recruiting new talent recently, and quite a few new employees had come on board. The final interviews were conducted remotely by Jessamine. Lately, Judith had been organizing the schedule while also balanc

Jessamine entered, pulled out the executive chair and sat down. Then, she listened to Yvonne quietly.Over the years, Yvonne had become noticeably more haggard and no longer possessed the same spirit and enthusiasm she had four years ago. She now looked very much like a middle-aged professional worn down by time. She pushed aside some stray hair from her forehead and continued speaking."Holt Jewelry is well-known for treating its employees generously, but when it comes to matters related to you, Mr. Holt handles them in a way that's very..."She paused and was lost in a moment of reflection. Then, she uttered, "Harsh and ruthless."Yvonne used the words "harsh" and "ruthless" to describe the large-scale layoffs carried out by Holt Jewelry back in the day."Actually, it wasn't just the design department. People from other departments who spoke badly about you were also fired, and their termination compensation was handled strictly according to the law, without any extra payment gi

However, Thaddeus took the opportunity to take credit. "Is that all?" "What else could there be? Even if I wanted to reward you with something else, you're not here," Jessamine retorted.This only heightened Thaddeus' desire to see Jessamine. He wanted to know what other rewards she could offer him. Yet, he also felt her words might just be casual, and she could end up giving him only a kiss!"Jessie, just give me two more days," Thaddeus said.He was counting down the days until his return. Apart from eating and sleeping, he devoted all his time to swiftly handling his work. He was eager to wrap up everything and get back to Jessamine.Upon hearing this, Jessamine couldn't resist teasing him over the phone. She said, "Don't rush, Mr. Holt. Your flights won't be canceled, so take care of your work first before coming back. After all, a CEO can't just abandon the company, right? Remember, work comes first!"Her last remark was a playful jab at Thaddeus.Back when she was at Jard
