All Chapters of On Our Anniversary, I Woke Up in the Tycoon’s Bed: Chapter 31 - Chapter 40

Lucas was careful not to overstep.After driving Jennie to the condo, he waited outside until she was safely inside. Only after making sure everything was fine did he leave.Jennie dragged her suitcase into the bedroom and was about to take a shower when her phone rang.The call was from the Fisher family estate.She declined it without hesitation.A few seconds later, they called again.Annoyed, Jennie blocked the number.She thought that would finally buy her some peace, but whoever was calling simply switched to another number.Every time a new call came through, Jennie blocked it.Eventually, she gave up, turned off her phone, took a shower, and went to bed.The next morning, she powered her phone back on.Dozens of missed calls and unread messages immediately appeared.Most of them were from Daryl.‘Jennie, where are you? Why did you block me?’‘Why did you change the code to the house? What’s the new one?’‘Jennie, why aren’t you at Chloe’s place? Where the hell ar

Lucas and Jennie almost instinctively glanced at each other.Then they both immediately looked away.Jennie reached for the popcorn, desperate for something to distract herself.At the exact same moment, Lucas reached for it too, trying to keep his emotions under control.Their hands went into the bucket together.Lucas’s hand closed over Jennie’s.Both of them froze.They looked at each other, but the instant their eyes met, they quickly looked away again.Neither said a word.Pretending nothing had happened, they each grabbed a handful of popcorn and started eating.On the screen, the hero and heroine suddenly threw their arms around each other and kissed passionately.Lucas and Jennie mechanically ate their popcorn, their eyes fixed on the movie even though neither of them was taking in a single thing.By the time the credits rolled, Chloe stretched and yawned as they walked out of the theater.“I fell asleep five minutes into the movie. What happened? Did they end up t

Jennie unblocked Daryl and called him.He picked up almost immediately.There was a faint tremor of excitement in his voice.“Jennie? You finally unblocked me?”Her expression remained cold.“I’ll agree to go on one condition. You and Zara have to apologize to me publicly. You need to admit, in your own words, that you used my phone while I was asleep, logged into my account, and posted that statement without my permission.”Daryl’s voice instantly turned cold.“Jennie, I already apologized to you. Don’t push your luck.”“Push my luck?”Jennie let out a humorless laugh.“If you want me to forgive you, then prove you’re sincere. If you can’t even do that, stop bothering me.”Before he could refuse, she hung up.That should make him back off.Getting Zara, the woman he cared about most, to publicly apologize to Jennie would probably be harder for him than anything else she could have asked.Sure enough, when Daryl told Zara that she needed to make a public apology, Zara exp

Daryl watched the bright smile on Jennie’s face, and something twisted painfully in his chest.How long had it been since he had seen her smile like that?The last time she had smiled at him that happily was the day she found out she was pregnant.She had thrown her arms around his neck, practically glowing with joy.“Daryl, I’m pregnant! We’re having a baby. We’re going to be parents!”He had been just as happy.He had picked her up and spun her around, wanting to shout to the whole world that he was going to be a father.They had been so happy then.How had everything fallen apart like this?Zara noticed that Daryl had been distracted the entire time, constantly looking over at Jennie.Annoyed, she threw her cards onto the table.“I’m done. This is boring.”Hayden immediately looked at her with concern.“What’s wrong? You were fine a minute ago.”Zara spoke bitterly.“Some people may be sitting right here, but their minds are somewhere else. So much for being bros for

The coldness in Lucas’s expression vanished almost instantly.He replaced it with a nervous, helpless look.“Jennie, did I interrupt something? I’m sorry. I heard voices outside and thought someone might be bothering you.”Jennie froze for a moment when she saw him.Feeling oddly guilty, she looked away and pushed Daryl off her.She had already been about to do that anyway. Lucas had simply come out before she got the chance.“Daryl, go. I’m perfectly comfortable staying here.”His moment with Jennie ruined, Daryl glared darkly at Lucas.He looked as though he wanted to tear him apart.“Do you have no sense at all? Are you blind? Can’t you see it’s me?”Lucas’s face went pale.He looked at Jennie with hurt in his eyes.“Jennie, I really didn’t mean to interrupt. I was just worried about you.”Daryl stared at him.Something about this felt off.Why was a grown man acting so pitiful?It was almost enough to make him want to punch him.The moment Jennie saw Lucas looking
