Jessica was stunned. In the next second, she was pulled into Terry's arms.
She was instantly overwhelmed by Terry's body smell. Jessica raised her head and looked at him. "He's just too cruel, Terry."
When Jessica said this, she gritted her teeth and trembled a lot.
Looking at her trembling eyelashes, Terry raised his hand to press the back of her head into his arms. "Then you can feel safe with me. My heart is soft. If you don't believe me, you can get into it and take a look."
Jessica was in Terry's arms. Her face pressed so close against his chest that she could even hear his steady heartbeat.
Jessica gradually calmed down.
After Jessica came to her senses, she pushed Terry away. "Thank you."
"If you want to thank me..." Terry curled his lips and didn't finish his sentence.
Jessica tilted her head to look at him. "How about treating you to a meal next time, Mr. Davison?"
Jessica smiled again. "I have a meeting this afternoon. Wouldn't you mind sending me back to the office, would you?"
Terry raised his eyebrows. "If you don't mind, I can come and pick you up at night."
Jessica glanced at him and did not reply.
They walked side by side. Neither of them looked back. Naturally, they could not see how Lucas stood there with a cold face and stared at them from a near distance.
Lucas stood there still. Soon, the backs of Terry and Jessica disappeared out of Lucas' sight at the turn of the corridor.
It occurred to Lucas how intimate they were when they cuddled with each other, which made him feel very uncomfortable.
Justin was unable to invite Jessica to come here, but news about Luna's committing suicide and Jessica's recent activities kept going viral on the Internet. Public attention wasn't reduced. In contrast, more people showed interest in laughing at the Thomas family.
Lucas was stubborn and he had obviously disregarded the reputation of the Thomas family.
But this didn't mean that Justin could stay out of it.
After all, all of this was caused by the Cheek sisters.
If Trissy had not wronged Jessica, Jessica would not have divorced Lucas.
Now Trissy had caused so much trouble with her sister. It seemed that the two sisters of the Cheek family really did not take the Thomas family seriously!
Justin calmed down. He knew that it wasn't the right time to help Lucas and Jessica get remarried. But as long as the two sisters of the Cheek family were still there, the Thomas family was doomed to be a laughing stock.
Thinking of this, Justin asked Dwayne to prepare the car because he decided to personally visit Luna's hospital.
Trissy had left Jessica's place in the morning without success. Not only did she not get anything, but she was also seen through by Jessica.
Now, the news about how Luna lied to set up Jessica gained increasing popularity. Trissy had married into the Thomas family for five years, so she knew that Justin attached great importance to the family's reputation. If this topic kept dominating the internet, Luna would be less likely to marry into the Thomas family.
It had to be said that Trissy knew Justin well.
Trissy froze in shock when she saw Justin, but she quickly pulled herself together. "Grandfather, why are you here?"
Justin glanced at her and said coldly, "I can't afford to hear you call me grandfather."
Trissy's smile froze. She took a glance at Luna, who was lying on the bed. "Luna, this is Justin."
"Hello, Justin."
As soon as Luna got up, her face distorted, as if she was in pain.
Justin had seen this pretentious trick many times when he was young.
Now that he was old, he didn't even blink when he saw Luna's fake performance. "I'm not an outsider, so there's no need to disguise in front of me."
As soon as Justin finished speaking, the expression on Luna's face became even more strange.
Trissy had been in the Thomas family for five years. Judging from Justin's attitude, she could tell the reason why Justin came here wasn't simple.
Trissy was nervous, but she didn't dare to betray her emotion. She could only pretend that she didn't understand anything. "Justin, I heard from Lucas that you went to the hospital last night. Luna is fine. She just did something stupid on impulse."
Justin waved his hand. "You can leave these excuses to others. You're right. I just visited the hospital last night. You haven't recovered yet, so I won't pester you with nonsense. I'll get straight to the point. I came here for a simple reason. I think you're smart enough to guess why I'm here."
As Justin spoke, he paused and glanced at Trissy. Finally, his gaze landed on Luna. "It was agreed that only one of you could marry into our Thomas family. Although I am old, I'm not stupid. I still remember the agreement. But I see that young as you are, you have a bad memory. After causing so much trouble, I know Miss Cheek wants to marry Lucas.
"But today, just tell you the truth, unless I die, your dream will never come true by any means!"
