Claiming Her Back novel (Jessica and Lucas) novel Chapter 210

Chapter 210

Lucas felt that he was haunted today.

Jessica was the only lady at the table, so the men found all kinds of excuses to push her to drink.

When Mr. Wyatt poured more wine for Jessica, Lucas couldn’t help but look over.

Jessica was two people away from Lucas, so he couldn’t see the look on her face clearly. But still, Lucas could tell that Jessica wasn’t feeling well.

Lucas didn’t want to help Jessica at first. It was not his place to help her.

But Lucas just couldn’t bear to see Jessica frowning. He chimed in anyway and drew the big shots’ attention to himself.

And he could have stopped after two glasses of wine.

Yet he didn’t. As long as someone filled his glass, he would drink it as if he was drinking water.

Lucas didn’t know what he was doing. He recalled a text in Jessica’s old cell. “He seemed to have drunk a lot today. He tossed a glance at me, on purpose or not. Nice!”

In the past, Jessica was indeed deeply in love with Lucas. She could even be pleased by his single glance at a dinner party.

Yet now, Lucas couldn’t delight her by standing out to help her.

Standing where he was for two seconds, Lucas then stopped looking at Jessica and walked out of the hotel.

He walked too fast for Vincent to keep pace with him. Vincent had to jog a bit to catch up with Lucas.

Fortunately, the car arrived soon, and Vincent hurriedly opened the door for Lucas.

The driver in the car would share Lucas’ anger with Vincent. Vincent didn’t have to face it alone.

Twenty minutes later, the car stopped in front of the traffic light. They would arrive at the Thomas Group once they turned left after crossing the intersection.

That was when Lucas’ phone rang.

He glanced at the phone screen, then pressed the answer button.

“Mr. Lucas, your grandfather has come back home. He wants to see you today.”
