Chapter 244
Jessica’s dress was very revealing, so she had to straighten her back after taking a seat.
The phone she had placed on the table constantly lit up. It was the message from Hannah.
However, since Terry was with her, Jessica decided to reply later.
Terry took two sips of coffee and broke the silence. “That night you told me that what happened five years ago was
not the reason why you married Lucas.”
Jessica would have forgotten about it if Terry hadn’t brought it up again. She had asked Wendy to look into what
happened that night, but she found nothing
Later, she gradually forgot what happened that night. It was nothing more than an accident.
When nobody mentioned it, Jessica didn’t feel so curious.
But people were all curious. Now that Terry mentioned it again, her curiosity was raised again. “I asked my
secretary to look into it, but I got nothing.”
Jessica raised her eyebrows, “So what on earth happened that night?”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThat night, Jessica didn’t have a sober mind. Everything was in a daze after Jessica entered that room. All she knew
was that the next day she woke up, Lucas was lying beside her, naked. She could only assume what had happened
the previous night from what she had seen.
Terry looked at her with mixed expressions in his eyes. Terry had always wanted to ask Jessica a question. He
hedged a bit before he asked, “What if the man that night wasn’t Lucas?”
Hearing that, Jessica’s face changed a bit. “So, who was it?”
If it was not Lucas, who was it?
That was the first time Jessica was tricked.
Terry suddenly fell silent. He looked at her with mixed feelings.

Jessica’s face turned grim, too. Though she was willing to marry Lucas at that time and her willingness had nothing
to do with what happened that night, she still couldn’t stand the possibility that the man that night was not Lucas.
Who was it then? A nasty old man?
Thinking of that, Jessica suddenly felt sick and couldn’t help but retch.
Seeing that, Terry hurried to pull out a tissue and gave it to her. “Jessica…”
Jessica waved her hand and looked up at him. Her almond eyes were a bit red, and the veins on the back of her
hand bulged. “Terry, tell me, who was it?”
“It was him.”
“I’m gonna make him…
Jessica stopped short when she heard what Terry had said.
Jessica froze and looked at Terry in disbelief. “What did you say? You were teasing me, weren’t you?”
Terry didn’t speak. He just looked at her.
Then he sighed and said, “It was Lucas. I just want to know, if it weren’t him and it was me, would you have been
willing to get to know me? But given your reaction just now, I think I know the answer.”
He paused for a moment. “I know this is not the right time to mention that night. It’s too vile.”
Then, Terry got up and walked directly to Jessica’s side. He raised his hand to take a tissue and gently pressed it
against the corner of her eyes. “But still, I’d like to take the chance and be with you.”
He didn’t conceal his intention at all. Looking at him, Jessica didn’t even know what to say.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmJessica leaned forward a bit when Terry approached her to remove a fallen eyelash of hers.
When her red lips touched his cheek, Terry could feel his fingertips tremble slightly. His Adam’s apple moved a bit
and he raised his eyes to look at Jessica.
Only then did Jessica realize that the two of them were too close.
Jessica subconsciously took a step back, but the red lipstick mark on Terry’s cheek reminded her of what had just
happened. Jessica saw the red mark on Terry’s face and couldn’t help but feel embarrassed. Her heart beat fast.
She didn’t dare to look at Terry again. “Can you please head back now?”
She wanted to be left alone for some time.
Terry looked at her for a moment. “Sure.”
With that, Terry stood up and looked down at Jessica, who was sitting on the sofa. Seeing Jessica’s lowered eyes and
her bashful look, Terry couldn’t help but touch where Jessica’s lips had touched his face.
Even though it was nothing more than a touch, Terry still felt haunted.
Terry shifted his gaze and looked at Jessica’s red lips. He felt a bit horny and even his gaze turned weird.
He wanted to kiss Jessica. But in the end, he didn’t let his desire take the better of him. Terry withdrew his gaze and
said gently, “I’ll see myself out, Jessica.”
