Claiming Her Back novel (Jessica and Lucas) novel Chapter 195

Chapter 195
Jessica heard him and took a step back, “Come in then.”
Terry walked in, and Jessica noticed that he was carrying two bags in his hands.
Jessica lowered her head, and when she saw the food in one of the bags, she couldn’t help but feel surprised. “You are not going to cook lunch here, are you?”
Terry had been at Jessica’s place before, so he knew where the kitchen was. He went directly over and then spoke as he took the things out of the bag. “Yeah. You’ve just got off the plane, right?”
Jessica paused a bit, but she didn’t go on asking.
“Do you mind giving me a hand?”
While she was in a daze, Terry suddenly said.
Jessica came back to her senses and looked at him in confusion. “What?”
“Help me put on the apron. Thank you.”
With that, Jessica glanced at the apron and Terry’s white shirt and black trousers. She couldn’t help but chuckle. “The combination looks funny to me.”
As she spoke, she took the apron over and tied it up on Terry.
The apron did not look very feminine. But it still looked funny when a man in an ironed suit put it on.
“You may go and have a rest now.”
Seeing Jessica not moving, Terry turned around.
Terry had a knife in his hand when he said that.
Jessica chuckled at Terry’s amusing look. “Do you really know how to cook?”
Terry looked at her, his eyes curving into crescents. “Is cooking difficult?”
Jessica laughed, “Then I’ll leave you be.”
Jessica didn’t get to rest after returning home from the airport. She felt tired now.
She had received dozens of messages from Hannah, asking her who the guest was and telling her not to let him in if it was Lucas.
Jessica put down the cup and went to the sofa to reply. “It’s not Lucas.”
Jessica put down her phone. Since Terry was in the kitchen, Jessica didn’t think it was proper for her to have a rest in her room. Thus, she took over the Macbook and started reading reports on the land in the north.
Jessica had been on a business trip for a week. Thus, she had a lot to read. She was so devoted to the reports that she only came back to her senses when she smelt the spaghetti.
Jessica checked the clock on the screen and realized that half an hour had passed since Terry walked in.
“I only made spaghetti bolognese.” Terry put the plate on the table.
Jessica smiled, “It smells so good. Mr. Davison, you are a good cook.”
She stood up and went to the bathroom to wash her hands.
Jessica didn’t have a good appetite right after she got off the plane. She put her fork down after finishing her spaghetti.
Terry looked at Jessica and asked, “Still trying to find out the source?”
“You saw the news too?” Jessica raised her eyebrows.
“It was spread out from our circle. It’s impossible to miss. You won’t buy it if I say I haven’t read it,” said Terry with a smile. He then went on, “Any progress so far?”.
Jessica was about to say no when she received a text message from Wendy.
She picked up her phone and took a look. The content of the text message was very short, only a few words.
Wendy reported the result of her investigation to Jessica. Shortly put, the Cheek sisters were behind it.
Jessica put down her phone and glanced at Terry. She said in a slightly teasing tone, “It’s an old friend of mine.”
Terry raised his eyebrows.
Jessica smiled and continued, “It’s Miss Cheek.”
Terry smiled and said, “We almost got the same result.”
Jessica could tell that Terry was suggesting something else. “Almost?”
“Don’t you think the timing Miss Cheek defames you is strange? I mean, I don’t feel curious that she’s behind it. But what’s the trigger this time? Have you two run into each other recently?”
“No.’ The smile on Jessica’s face faded. She asked, “So what did you get?”:
“A week ago, Trissy went to the Thomas Group,” Terry answered directly.
“You are saying that she did this together with Lucas?” Jessica frowned slightly.
“Not necessarily Lucas, but at least it has to do with him.”
“Well, Lucas is indeed involved no matter whether Trissy went to see him or not,” said Jessica, “Luna and Trissy did what they did all because of Lucas.”
“That’s not what I meant.” Terry was slightly surprised to hear Jessica’s words, and he explained, “I mean it’s like what Olivia did last time.”
