Claiming Her Back

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. This material belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.

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.

There was no one in the elevator,

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?”

“Lucas, do you think that makes you a good husband only if you didn’t beat or cheat on me? Marriage

is sacred. You defiled it when you took me as a chess piece, not a wife. So yes, you and your family did

me wrong from the very beginning.”

“And as for what happened tonight, yes, I did that on purpose. I will not be a scapegoat anymore!”

Jessica paused here, stared at him, and said coldly, “Lucas, you are the most disgusting person I have

ever seen.”

“Lucas, you are the most disgusting person I have ever seen.”

Disgusting…

Jessica went into her apartment, leaving him outside. Lucas looked at the closed door in front of him,

his face dark as ink.

He did not know how long he had been standing there. The sound of footsteps from the walkway

dragged him back to the real world. Then he left.

Hari was in a nightclub when he received the call from Lucas.

Hari pushed two busty women away to go somewhere not that loud.

He went to the soundproof area on the second floor.

Hari lit a cigarette and hummed as he smoked. “It’s late at night, dude. Why are you calling me?”

“I’m in 11. Come up.” Lucas then hung up.

Raising his eyebrows, Hari felt that something was wrong with Lucas tonight.

Hari put the cigarette out and went straight to T1.
