Claiming Her Back novel (Jessica and Lucas) novel Chapter 75

Chapter 75
Lucas remembered that when those reporters ran over to besiege him and Luna, Jessica was standing there, looking at him coldly with her lips twitched.
Jessica was as if watching a farce.
Lucas hated that look as it was full of ridicule and contempt.
Recalling that look in her eyes, Lucas felt a little agitated.
He felt very uncomfortable as if there was a soft thorn in his heart that could not be found, and he couldn’t ignore it either.
He disliked this feeling very much.
Lucas took a cigarette, leaned against the window, and slowly lit it.
The smell of nicotine calmed him down a little, but it didn’t last for too long.
He put out the half-smoked cigarette and drove away from the hotel.
The car sped away into the distance.
However, Lucas felt that something went wrong with the car after a while. His golden eyes turned cold. He dropped speed and pulled up by the roadside.
He got out of the car and looked down, only to see that his left rear wheel flattened.
The wheel was punctured, and it was not just one.
If he continued to drive the car, it would soon stop in the middle of the road.
The incident made Lucas even more agitated. He took out his phone and called Vincent, asking him to find someone to drag the car away.
It took Vincent a short while to react after he hung up.
He had only sent Lucas’ car for maintenance last week. How could it go wrong so quickly?
Although Vincent was puzzled, he got changed and rushed to Lucas.
Jessica and Terry kept silent in the car for a long while. Then Jessica turned her head to look at Temy and said, “Terry, I want to go back.”
“To the hotel?”
Terry raised his eyebrows in confusion.
Jessica nodded, “Yest”
She paused to look at the neon lights ahead and smiled faintly, “I want to go back to see how unlucky Lucas is.”
Terry was stuned for a moment before he reacted and smiled, “Good idea.”
He drove the car to the next intersection and turned back
He wanted to see where iucas car was stuck 100
At the hotel was by @roadste, Lucas could drive either to the lell or night
Jerry weered around at the intersection in front on the way back Jessica did not see any vehicles parking by the roadside Lucas obviously did not go this way
Not long after they drove away from the hotel, Jessica saw Lucas standing by a roadside.
It was ironic that she could easily recognize Lucas on seeing his back.
Terry saw him too. “I found him.”
Jessica nodded, “So do 1.”
She curled her lips and chuckled.
Terry stopped the car slowly beside Lucas. In the moonlight, Lucas was holding a cigarette between his fingers smoking with his head down.
Seeing that there was a car stopping, Lucas looked up, only to see Terry’s car. And his face turned cold.
The window was slowly rolled down, and Jessica’s face was exposed.
She sat inside and looked at Lucas nonchalantly.
Terry, who was in the driver’s seat, had one hand on the steering wheel. He turned his body slightly to look at Lucas with a faint smile. “Mr. Thomas, you’re here!”
Although there was a smile on his face, his words were full of schadenfreude. “Is your car broken?”
Lucas glanced at Terry and did not want to pay attention to him.
He smoked again. When the smoke was lingering, he heard Terry speak again. “We are acquaintances. Now it’s windy and cold outside. Mr. Thomas, would you mind if we give you a ride?”
At this time, Jessica, who was sitting in the passenger seat, turned her head to look at Lucas. She said unhurriedly, “What does that have to do with me?”
What did that have to do with me?
. Lucas remembered that. Over a month ago, when Jessica’s car broke down, he happened to pass by.
Hari suggested that they give her a ride, but Lucas told the driver to ignore her. When Hari asked him the reason, he gave this answer.
Yes, they were divorced. So Jessica’s dilemma had nothing to do with him.
Jessica had said that they were strangers now that they had divorced. So as strangers, they had nothing to do with each other.
A bit of pleasure struck him back then when he saw in the rear mirror that Jessica was standing in the cold wind.
But now, when it happened to himself, Lucas could feel how helpless Jessica had been back then. The hand that was holding the cigarette trembled. Lucas raised his head and looked straight at Jessica.
