Remarriage His Billionaire Ex-Wife

Chapter 232

Chapter 232 Jessica followed him into the steakhouse. It was dinner time, there weren’t any vacancies. But Terry had already made a reservation in advance, so once they arrived, a waitress came over to lead the way. The environment was delightful. Though all the seats were taken, the place wasn’t noisy at all. There was also a violinist on the spot. The appetizers were served soon. Jessica did not eat anything at noon. After several hours of meeting, she was already starving. She glanced at Terry and said, “I’m a little hungry. Do you mind if I start eating now?” He raised an eyebrow and pushed the soup towards Jessica. “Do you have to ask that?” Jessica smiled and did not say anything else. She lowered her head and started eating. Ladies didn’t talk when eating, so Jessica kept mum during the meal. Both kept silent during the meal. Terry had already finished eating. He sat there and watched her quietly. When Jessica finished, he asked, “Jessica, are you gonna remarry Lucas, even though he doesn’t love you?” ni Jessica almost choked on her food when she heard that. She coughed for a while and her eyes even turned red.

Terry took out a tissue and handed it to her. Jessica reached out to take it, but she didn’t expect Terry to directly wipe her eyes. Jessica froze. “…” “I see.” Terry saw Jessica hedging and his eyes darkened at once. Terry forced a smile and then said, “I wish you happiness.” Yet his eyes weren’t smiling at all. He took out a box from his pocket and put it on the table. “Sit down for a while. I’ll get someone to pick you up. I’m in a bad mood. I might not be able to send you home.” Copyright Nôv/el/Dra/ma.Org.

When Terry said that, his gaze did not fall on Jessica again. Then he got up and left the restaurant. Jessica looked at his back as he left. In fact, she could have told Terry about her plan. But if she had told him, Terry would have seen that as her “yes” to his pursuit. Even Jessica still needed time to get rid of the 10-year relationship with Lucas. She was, after all, a human being. Jessica wasn’t sure whether she could respond to Terry the way Terry expected. His tenderness and his exclusive love were too precious to be butchered. Jessica knew how it felt to fall from hope into despair. She was once there, so she didn’t want to put Terry through what she had experienced. Hope without love was like an abyss. The violin did not stop simply because someone had left. Neither would life. No one was absolutely indispensable to another one in this world. Jessica pursed her lips, but she did not stop Terry. A lot has happened recently. After washing up, Jessica walked out of the bathroom and soon fell asleep. Jessica’s mind was occupied by her old memories these days. That was perhaps why she dreamed of the scene where she approached Lucas for the first time. It was the day before Lucas took his SAT test, and she even lied to her teacher to take a leave and wait at the entrance of the test venue in advance. When Lucas came out, Jessica stuffed a gift box into his hands. She was too nervous back then. Jessica intended to wish him success, yet what she actually said was “Don’t get me wrong. This isn’t a romantic thing. It’s just that someone asked me to give these to you.” At that time, Lucas looked at her as if she was a fool. Jessica was too embarrassed to say anything else. Thus, she left right after he had the box. In her dreams, she didn’t sleep well the entire night. Now that she woke up, her head hurt. Her phone rang, reminding her of the two things she had to do.

Jessica didn’t stay in bed any longer and got up to wash up. After all, she was going to meet her “love rival” today. When Luna saw the official announcement of the Thomas Group and the Thomas family on the internet yesterday, she was also stunned. Luna once spread the news that Jessica was pregnant with Terry’s child, but the news was suppressed. Now that everyone was talking about Jessica and Lucas’ remarriage. Luna had never expected that Justin, who cherished his reputation so much, would turn a blind eye to Jessica’s ruined reputation. He didn’t seem to mind the negative effects that Jessica might bring along.
