Chapter 77
After what had happened tonight, Jessica was exhausted, so she did not speak.
Terry didn’t say anything more, and the car quieted down.
The car passed by a downtown area. Terry asked, “Want something to eat?”
Jessica tilted her head and glanced outside. “Not in the mood. Maybe next time.”
Now, she only wanted to go home to take a hot bath and have a good sleep.
By the time the car stopped by the roadside of Jessica’s apartment, it was already past eleven at night.
Jessica unfastened her seat belt and said to Terry. “Thank you for tonight. You don’t have to get off the car and see me off.”
He was just about to get off. Upon hearing her words, Terry stopped.
He tapped on the steering wheel and looked at her through the half-open window. “Jessica, when is next time?”
Jessica was just about to turn around. She was slightly stunned when she heard this. Then she realized what he was saying and smiled. “Well, that depends on when we will meet again.”
She waved goodbye at him. Without saying anything else, she turned and walked toward the apartment.
Jessica looked at herself in the glass wall inside the elevator and thought of what had happened tonight. She got carried away.
Soon, the elevator door opened. Jessica walked out of the elevator and shook her head, trying to clear the thoughts away.
Her apartment was at the corner at the end of the corridor. Just as she walked out of the elevator, Jessica saw Lucas standing by the window at the end of the corridor.
That was rare.
Jessica sneered and walked over with no expression on her face.
“What? Are you waiting for me, Mr. Thomas?”
Her lips curved into a smile, but the smile didn’t reach her eyes. Something cold moved in her eyes,
In Lucas’ memory, Jessica had never looked at him like this before. There was light in her eyes when she looked at him,
But ever since the divorce, the light in her eyes disappeared.
He thought Jessica saw him as a stranger, an enemy.
Lucas couldn’t tell what he was feeling. He only felt that there was something pressing down on him, which choked him, and agitated him.
“What do you want, Jessica?”
Jessica laughed at his words. She said, “What do I want? I could ask you the same question,”
Lucas’ face darkened, seeing that she did not admit it.
He said crossly. “You were the one who brought the journalists, and you said those words on purpose. You
mentioned Luna like this so that people would think that it was me and the Thomas family who did you wrong.”
Jessica couldn’t help but sneer. The coldness in her eyes built up.
“Mr. Thomas, don’t forget that you were the one who suggested the marriage. But have you ever done your duty as a husband since we married? When I was bullied and humiliated, did you say anything for me? When Trissy came to me, did you speak up for me?”
