Semua Bab Pregnant on the Cusp of Divorce: Bab 81 - Bab 90

Amy huffed. "Relax, I will give it to you. You're the only one who cares so much about that crappy necklace anyways. Even if I tossed it onto the streets, I'm sure no one would even pick it up.""I'm warning you, Amy. I draw the line when it comes to my mom. If you ever say anything bad about her again, there's no telling what I'd do next," Jessamine warned.Amy scoffed as if she had just heard a particularly funny joke. To her, Jessamine was someone she could push around easily."Your threats mean nothing to me. I'm not scared of you at all," Amy replied mockingly.Just then, Thaddeus exited the hall. Jessamine raised her head to look at him as he walked over, and Amy must've also noticed his presence because she immediately plastered on a cheerful smile as she latched herself onto Jessamine's arm."Jessie, my birthday wish this year is for you to celebrate my birthday with me! I hope you can grant it!" Amy exclaimed.Thaddeus walked toward them with long strides and asked, "W

"Amy, you know I don't like it when others lie to me. Today is your birthday, so I will let it slide. But never do something like that again. I've already told you that I'll give you an explanation for that day," Thaddeus said.There was a flash of panic in Amy's eyes. When he said he would take responsibility back then, did he mean what Thomas mentioned before? Was he going to just give her a large amount of money and cut ties with her completely? Was he going to make sure that they would never meet again?If that was what he was planning, then what was the point of her holding on for so many years?"Teddy, I didn't mean to lie to get you here. All I wanted was for you to have some of my birthday cake with me. My colleagues got overly excited and insisted on coming as well. "I didn't mean to expose the fact that we are lovers to everyone. It was just a coincidence that matters unfolded the way that they did," Amy explained. Amy had a way with words and managed to shift the

Jessamine let out a startled gasp. "Why haven't I seen you around before?" she asked in disbelief.She only realized how unnecessary her question was after she asked it. Since Noah was part of the Holt family, he probably held a high-ranking position, so a mere employee like her would never get to see him around.Noah smiled and glanced sideways at her once they were at a red light."You've never seen me, but I've seen you," he replied cheekily.Jessamine clasped her hands together awkwardly. "My eyesight isn't the best. Next time you see me, just call my name," she explained.Noah hummed and dropped the subject.They had arrived in the city, and Noah stopped in front of a restaurant that didn't quite look like a restaurant.Jessamine got out of the car and followed him in, only to be astonished by how different its interior was compared to its exterior.It was a private restaurant and was decorated well. The restaurant wasn't very crowded, and light music was playing in the

Thaddeus tossed his car keys onto the tea table and plopped himself onto the couch with a dark expression."That mad woman splashed a whole bucket of paint onto Amy," Thaddeus grumbled.After that, he shot Jessamine a vicious glare, demanding, "How could you allow such a thing to happen to your sister?"The word sister brought a foul taste to Jessamine's mouth. How was Amy her sister? Both in her family with her parents and her current family she had created with Thaddeus, Amy was like a tumor that needed to be eliminated.Amy's mother had seduced Colin and ruined Jessamine's family. Now, Amy was the reason the man Jessamine loved for three years was filing for divorce from her. So, to say that she didn't hate Amy would be a lie.Thaddeus was completely hoodwinked by Amy's acting skills and was under the impression that the two women had a close-knit relationship. Amy was the source of all her pain, so how could she ever treat her as her sister?What sister would hook up

Jessamine's nerves were immediately set alight at his words.How could he say something so shameless and lewd without so much as batting an eye?Thaddeus lightly pulled at his belt. The clasp sprang open, and his slacks hung loosely on his hips. His usually cold eyes now had an air of debauchery to them.Jessamine knew that he was being serious.She turned around to scan her surroundings. Lana must've left at some point, and Jessamine wished she would show up to save her. Lana could even do something as mundane as fetching water—that would be enough to save her.Thaddeus was already taking his slacks off, determined to have his way with her."Shameless," Jessamine whispered as she averted her gaze.He reached to turn her face back to him, forcing her to look into his eyes."Kiss me!" he commanded.Was he really going to commit such an indecent act in the dining room?Jessamine knew there was no way to get out of this situation. However, she really couldn't accept that he
