Claiming Her Back novel (Jessica and Lucas) novel Chapter 139

Chapter 139
Terry gazed at Jessica for some time before he finally said, “She is not my girlfriend.”
Jessica felt a bit surprised to hear that at first. She then smiled and said, “Actually, Mr. Davison, you really don’t need to explain it to me.”
Terry also smiled. In silence, he stared straight at Jessica as if he wanted to see through her. Jessica felt a little uneasy under his scorching gaze.
Jessica lowered her head slightly and said, “I’m still in the middle of something. I’ll head out now. See you, Mr. Davison.”
Terry did not speak. He stood where he was and watched Jessica leave, drowned in his own thoughts.
“What on earth do you want?**
A man’s voice cut in from behind Terry. Terry sneered when he turned and saw the man behind him. “I thought Mr. Thomas was a gentleman. I didn’t expect you to eavesdrop on others.”
“You’ve been targeting me since high school. Whenever I want to develop a business, you’ll interfere. Business is business, but Jessica shouldn’t be your target for revenge.”
Lucas didn’t respond directly to Terry’s accusation.
“Mr. Thomas, don’t think too highly of yourself. I admit that we had some beef before, but I pursue Miss Hall only because I like her. It has nothing to do with you,” Terry stared at Lucas and said seriously.
“You don’t need to explain anything to me. You just need to know that if you have any ill intentions, I will not let you get away.” For years, Lucas and Terry never got along, so Lucas didn’t believe what Terry said.
“Mr. Thomas, if I remember correctly, you seem to be Miss Hall’s Ex-husband, Terry mocked.
Lucas felt a throb in his heart. He was never a good quarreler. Before Lucas could say anything, Terry continued, “If you really cared about Jessica that much, she wouldn’t have been so disappointed in the last three years and finally decided to divorce you. In contrast, I think I still have a great chance.”
“So what? At least I am willing to turn back.’ Lucas’ expression changed slightly.
“Then I hope Miss Hall is willing to give you a chance.” Terry snorted coldly and turned to leave.
Lucas left the restaurant later, absent-minded. The lights in Los Angeles were bright under the night sky and the traffic was heavy
Lucas drove aimlessly on the street, and somehow, he went to the deserted outer city.
Lucas pulled over, leaned against his seat, and lit a cigar
He always saw himself as a determined and decisive person
Yet what Terry said today was still quite a heavy blow to hin
for the first time, Lucas wasn’t sure about what the future would hold for him.
But Lucas soon adjusted himself. He snuffed out the cigar, started his car ugain, and drove back to his place.
Though the daling rumor of Terry and his new girlfriend” was no longer a trending topic on Twitter, it was still the Intest subject of gosoln in Wine-class society. Two days had posted. yeh Justin hadn’t heard any progtass frarn Lucas, which made Justin get heated
Although Jessica was still far from the perfect granddaughter-in-law to Justin, he still found the daughter of the Hall family and his grandson could make a perfect couple.
Besides, it bothered Justin that Luna went to cause trouble for Jessica at the Hall Group the other day.
Justin didn’t know what Luna was plotting this time.
Lucas had just finished his work for the day at the company when Vincent knocked on the door and came in. He said, “The senior Mr. Thomas called. He asked you to go back for dinner tonight.”
“Got it.” Lucas looked a bit depressed.
Vincent nodded and then left the office after closing the door.
That night, Lucas returned home. Rebecca put on a smile when she saw Lucas. “Lucas, you’re back.”
Ever since Olivia had been punished, she even felt scared to see her brother.
During dinner, the Thomas family were all very quiet. Only Rebecca would exchange a few words with Lucas.
Justin cast a glance at Lucas and then at Rebecca. “Rebecca, what do you think of Jessica?”
Rebecca was caught off guard by Justin’s sudden question. She paused for a moment before she replied, “She is polite, sensible, and beautiful. I think she is very nice.”
Justin nodded in satisfaction and looked at Lucas. “Have you considered what I told you last time? I think it’s such a pity that you and Jessica parted with each other. When she was still married to you, we didn’t treat her well. But still, i believe you two must have bonded more or less. If she’s still on your mind, you should try your best to win her over.’
“Grandpa, Jessica said after all the trouble we caused for her after the divorce, she only wanted to keep her distance from our family,” said Lucas with a blank face.
