Claiming Her Back novel (Jessica and Lucas) novel Chapter 149

Chapter 149
After a day of work, Jessica was dragged to Cloud Top by Hannah again. Mona didn’t return to New York to celebrate Jessica’s birthday due to work, so she invited Jessica to have free drinks tonight.
They drank some alcohol and were kind of dizzy when they left the nightclub.
“I’ll call Wendy to pick us up.” Jessica looked at her tipsy friend and took out her phone.
She felt slightly sorry to ask Wendy to pick them up late at night.
Jessica was just about to call Wendy when Hannah bumped her hand.
“What’s the matter?” Jessica snorted.
“Look who’s there.”
Upon hearing Hannah’s words, Jessica raised her head and saw Terry approaching quickly.
Hannah snorted and said to Jessica, “I have to say, Mr. Davison is really good at pursuing girls.”
Jessica raised her eyebrows and looked at Terry, who had walked up to her. “What a coincidence, Mr. Davison.”
“Not really. I came to fetch you home.”
The sincere smile on Terry’s face was rare to see, but he didn’t manage to hide the hint of nervousness in his dark brown eyes.
Jessica raised her eyebrows and shook her head. “Mr. Davison, thank you for your kindness.”
Terry grinned from ear to ear. “I’ll drive you back.”
Jessica was about to refuse when Hannah hurriedly said, “Okay, thank you, Mr. Davison. If you don’t mind, can you also send Mona and me back?”
Jessica glanced at Hannah. “Don’t you think you should be more polite?”
“Why? Mr. Davison is kind of our friend now.”
Hannah shamelessly asked, “Is that right, Mr. Davison?”
“Miss Howell, you’re right.”
Then, Terry looked at Jessica with a half-smile. “Get in the car.”
Terry didn’t just want to just be Jessica’s friend. He wanted to be her boyfriend.
Jessica looked at Terry’s back and raised her eyebrows. Hannah raised her hand and patted Jessica She tilted her head and winked at Jessica. “What’s in your mind?”
Jessica looked down at her and said, “You’re so Hannah.”
Hannah had got in the car and sat in the back seat. After fastening her seat belt, Hannah put on her earphones and leaned against the window, pretending to be asleep.
She was smart
Of course, there was no sound in her earphones.
The car slowly drove onto the street and everyone remained quiet.
A few minutes later, the car stopped in front of the red light. Terry turned his head and looked at Jessi ca with a mischievous smile. “Are you dizzy now?”
Jessica came back to her senses and nodded. “Yes, a little.”
Terry changed the topic. “Aren’t you curious how I know that?”
Jessica rubbed her forehead and asked, “How did you know?”
Terry pointed at Hannah, who was pretending to be asleep but was actually eavesdropping. “Miss How ell posted a tweet.”
Jessica thought Hannah was pretty much a genius.
The green light lit up. Terry retracted his gaze and started the car again. Silence fell in the car again.
Hannah felt bored. She thought that she could hear something exciting, only to find the conversation between Jessica and Terry so boring.
Hannah thought Terry wasn’t so good at pursuing girls as people said.
Half an hour later, the car stopped at Hannah’s block.
Hannah pulled out her earphones and pretended that she had just woken up. “Is this my place?”
She unbuckled her seat belt, pushed open the car door, and got out.
Hannah quickly left with her handbag. Jessica looked at her friend from behind and knew that Hannah did it on purpose.
Jessica soon received a message from Hannah, “Alright, I’ll stop being the third wheel. You guys can hit on now.”
Jessica took a glance and pretended never to see it.
Jessica thought, “Typical Hannah nonsense again.”
The car slowly started again. Hannah’s apartment was not far from Jessica’s. It was only about a fif teen-minute ride.
When the car stopped, Terry suddenly said, “I’m sorry about what happened at your birthday party.”
Jessica wasn’t used to it when Terry suddenly became serious.
She smiled. “It wasn’t your fault.
“I didn’t have to fight back.”
Terry paused and said, “But I wanted to.”
Terry held a grudge against Lucas for a long time, but he never had the chance to vent his anger. Since Lucas started the fight himself that day, Terry wouldn’t miss the chance.
Jessica didn’t want to talk about it anymore. “Didn’t you already apologize to me?”
“Oh, so you saw it. I posted that on purpose.”
Jessica glanced at him and said, “You are quite honest.”
“Because you don’t like playboys.”
‘There’re honest playboys too.
