Remarriage His Billionaire Ex-Wife novel Chapter 18

Chapter 18 

Hannah had thought about persuading Jessica to give Terry a chance. After all, Terry and Jessica had similar family backgrounds. Even if Jessica did not like Terry, she could still use Terry to annoy Lucas.

Yet when Hannah realized that Jessica was not interested in Terry at all, she never mentioned Terry anymore. Hannah then said, “There’s gonna be a charity event today. You’re coming, right?” 

“Sure, see you tonight,” Jessica replied. Although she was not interested in those social events, it was a good chance to meet some big shots in business. Jessica wouldn’t miss the chance.

In the evening. Jessica came to the venue for the event in the latest high-fashion dress designed by Tomie.

The turquoise dress was decorated with numerous diamonds, and it looked like a glittering lake under the light. Jessica just entered the hall and drew a lot of attention. 

When Hannah saw Jessica, she immediately came over. Hannah was a party girl and she didn’t like such a formal affair.

“Jessica, Terry just asked me when you would be here.”

Just after Hannah said that, Terry had already made his way over.

“Good evening, Miss Hall.” Terry smiled at Jessica. The suit he was wearing today was also Tomie’s design.

“Good evening, Mr. Davison.” Jessica put on a proper smile. 

“Just call me Terry.” Terry gazed at Jessica. 

“We are not that close,” said Jessica in a flat tone., 

“Then may I ask you to dance? Perhaps that can help you learn more about me,” said Terry as he politely extended his arm in an inviting gesture. 

Jessica wanted to reject Terry when the music switched to a tango. 

The familiar melody reminded Jessica of some beautiful memories. Thus, Jessica nodded and put her hand on Terry’s hand. She then followed him onto the dance floor. 

Jessica and Terry danced in harmony. They changed their steps to the music, fluttering Jessica’s dress.

Gradually, the other dancing pairs subconsciously moved to the side, making Jessica and Terry the focus.

Not far away, Lucas stared at the two on the dance floor. His lips pursed tightly. 

Lucas knew how a playboy like Terry played up to ladies. Dancing, bartending, and others ... Terry was good at anything that could amuse the ladies.

But Lucas never knew that Jessica could dance. He was already surprised when he found out that Jessica played drums. Lucas wondered what else she was capable of other than these. 

“I heard that Terry is chasing Jessica. Judging from what I saw today, it is true. By the way, Jessica is a good dancer.”

Hari noticed Lucas never stopped gazing at the dance floor. Thus, he wanted to chat with Lucas about Jessica and

Terry.

“Is that so? In that case, you know little about tango.” Lucas snorted and left the hall. 

The song ended. Jessica refused to dance with Terry again and went back to Hannah.

“I’m so bored here,” Hannah complained, holding a glass of red wine.

“Then give me a minute. I have to use the lady‘s room. Then we‘ll head out. I‘ve met all the people I‘ve planned to meet,” said Jessica.

At that time, most of the people were in the banquet hall. The entire corridor was empty and the restroom was empty, too.

Jessica came out of the restroom and saw a man standing in the corridor. 

It was Lucas.

Lucas also saw her. He turned around and glanced at Jessica. Jessica passed by Lucas without talking to him. 

“Terry isn’t as simple as you think. He‘s dangerous.” 

Lucas‘ cold voice sounded, and Jessica halted. She turned around and asked Lucas, “Are you talking to me, Mr. Thomas?”

“Is there anyone else here?” Lucas was somewhat annoyed by her attitude. 

Jessica smiled and ran her hand through her wavy hair. “Thank you for your reminder, Mr. Thomas. I didn‘t drown in the swimming pool back then. I believe I can survive any danger.” 

With that, Lucas’ face stiffened. When Jessica saw his grim face, she smiled slightly. 

Jessica then calmly gazed at Lucas for a few seconds. She then left in her high heels. 

Seeing Jessica off, Lucas felt a bit upset. He wondered if Jessica was implying that he was even more dangerous than Terry.
