Claiming Her Back

Chapter 62

Chapter 62

Hari finally drove away.

Hearing the sound of a car engine from downstairs, Lucas, who was sitting on the sofa, slowly opened

his eyes.

Hari had finally left, so nobody would

disturb him anymore. Yet Hari‘s question still lingered on in Lucas‘ mind.

How came Lucas went to Jessica‘s apartment?

Even Lucas himself had no idea. Last night, Luna had a high fever. Lucas went over and stayed until mi

dnight when her fever was gone.

Lucas then drove his car back to the Thomas villa. Yet somehow he headed for Jessica‘s apartment an

d stopped there.

Jessica‘s apartment was near the road in the downtown area. It was past 2 a.m. Lucas pulled up his ca

r on the roadside. When he looked up, he saw the apartment building where Jessica lived.

Lucas knew that Jessica liked him not long after they got married.

Lucas actually never thought of divorcing Jessica so quickly. It was probably because Jessica made a s

atisfying Mrs. Thomas.

Though troubles never stopped coming, in general, Jessica never affected or constrained Lucas as his

wife.

Lucas needed such a wife.

Lucas grew up in the Thomas family where he had seen a lot of marriages for business‘ sake. The cou

ples usually lead their own lives after getting married.

Though Lucas refused to sleep with Jessica, he never hooked up with other women out there.

Lucas respected their marriage and hoped that his wife could respect their marriage as well.

Jessica liked Lucas. Thus, she did well on this.

If Jessica had not proposed a divorce, Lucas thought that their marriage might last until death did them

apart.

As time went by, Lucas was clearer and clearer about what feelings he held toward Luna. They were m

ore of guilt and gratitude than love.

Yet the assumption didn‘t exist after all. Lucas was about to treat Jessica as his

real wife when Jessica proposed to divorce Lucas

Jessica used to be so into Lucas, yet after they divorced, Lucas saw a new person in Jessica.

Jessica’s eyes didn‘t glimmer anymore when she saw Lucas. She even ignored him several times.

Last night, Lucas thought that Jessica ignored him on purpose, only to attract his attention. Yet when L

ucas saw her leave while holding Terry‘s hand, he realized that Jessica was

indeed no longer in love with him.

Sadly, Lucas found that his discovery didn‘t go well for him. At first, Lucas kindly warned Jessica not to Còntens bel0ngs to Nô(v)elDr/a/ma.Org

be tempted by Terry only because of the three-year marriage they had.

Yet when Jessica did fall into Terry’s trap, Lucas didn’t feel any joy at all.

The wind last night was very cold. Lucas opened the car window and smoked a cigarette on the

roadside outside Jessica’s apartment. Lucas even pictured in his mind that Terry might have stayed in

her apartment at that time

Lucas felt that he was not as heartless as Jessica in their marriage.

The gossip about Lucas didn‘t cause much attention before it was suppressed. Jessica stayed in her a

partment for the whole day on Sunday,

At around three o‘clock in the afternoon, Hannah called Jessica and asked if she wanted to have a drin

k at Mona‘s nightclub

Jessica didn‘t feel like hanging out, so she refused at once. She went to bed before eleven o‘clock Jess

ica woke up earlier than seven on Monday

At that time, the sky hadn‘t been awake yet. When Jessica drew back

the curtains, she saw it was still dark outside

Jessica checked her schedule for the day on her phone. Her day was kind of fully scheduled. There wa

s an early meeting at nine o‘clock, another short meeting at eleven o‘clock, and there was a lunch meet

ing at noon

Jessica would be quite occupied

Jessica rarely got up so early. She made an exquisite breakfast. After breakfast, she headed for the Hal

l Group and arrived at eight forty–five.

Wendy had just arrived and they met in the elevator in the parking lot “Good morning, Miss Hall

Jessica nodded with a smile. “Good morning, Wendy.”

Though Wendy was Morgan‘s subordinate, she made a good secretary for Jessica

After Jessica was exposed to be the daughter of the Hall family, Megan called Jessica on Saturday But

Jessica didn‘t pick it up

Early in the morning, Megan walked over from the other end of the corridor When he saw Jessica, his f

ace stiffened a bit

Megan always thought that Jessica was no more than a mistress of some executive, but he did not exp

ect her to be Morgan‘s daughter, the only daughter of the Hall family

Not to mention the branch

in Los Angeles, even the entire Hall Group would definitely belong to Jessica in the future.

Ever since Jessica had entered the company, Megan never stopped picking on Jessica. Now that Meg

an knew Jessica‘s identity, he had lost sleep for two consecutive nights

Originally, Megan wanted to ask Jessica out on Saturday to learn

about Jessica‘s attitude, but Jessica directly hung up the phone. Seeing Jessica now, Megan was

naturally very nervous.

“Good morning, Miss Hall.”

However, Megan

was such an old fox after all. He took the initiative to greet Jessica without any embarrassment

Jessica looked at Megan with a faint smile and did not reveal his trick “Good morning. Mr. Bell.”

Megan nodded and entered the meeting room

Now that Jessica‘s identity went public, even the Monday meeting became interesting.
