Remarriage His Billionaire Ex-Wife novel Chapter 156

Chapter 156
Lucas went to get the phone he had thrown into the garden before he even realized what he was doing. The garden was quite earthy
It was a dumbphone from ten years ago, something even a man as old as Justin wouldn’t use now.
The phone was locked. Lucas found himself hilarious when he saw the cue reading “Enter the password”.
Lucas thought that he must have lost his mind that he even got curious about what was on the phone.
What was so entrancing about it? It was nothing more than a phone Jessica had deserted.
Yet still, Lucas didn’t stop trying to unlock the phone.
When his fingers fell on the keyboard, he subconsciously entered Jessica’s birthday as the code.
It didn’t work.
Lucas frowned, and for some reason, he tried his own birthday.
Lucas felt a throb in his heart when he unlocked the phone.
It was hard to tell what Lucas feelings were like at that moment. It was like a hunch for winning a lottery was proved. Lucas felt joyed and contented.
The contact list was empty, but there were over 200 text messages.
Lucas knew a gentleman shouldn’t have pried on others’ privacy. But anyway, Jessica couldn’t think worse of him, could she?
It made no difference to do one more hateful thing.
Everyone had a rebellious kid in their heart. Lucas had lived 30 years as an obedient kid, yet Jessica made that rebellious one in him surface..
Lucas didn’t know what was wrong with him. But he always had a strong reaction when it came to anything related to
Jessica.
That was how he felt when he tried to unlock the cell.
The latest was from four years ago, reading “I married him”.
The latest but one read: “I don’t know what happened. It was all a mess. He said he would marry me, but I have a bad hunch over it”.
The one before that was brief, too. It said, “I saw him today”.
All the messages were from the same number. It took Lucas half an hour to finish them all.
The very first one read “I found him”.
The messages might seem puzzling to an outsider, but Lucas knew clearly what they were about.
The messages, as well as the sketch Olivia had found, proved nothing but Jessica’s love for Lucas.
Holding the dumbphone, Lucas felt that all his sullenness had gone. He could hear his heart pounding wildly.
Four years ago, Lucas once thought Jessica was the plotter and married him for his wealth, Yet after Jessica divorced him, Lucas realized that Jessica was also a victim and she married him for nothing but love.
Later, Lucas found out about the sketch and the novel. That was when Lucas learned that Jessica had been in love with him for years.
Yet none of those had a stronger impact than these texts.
Recalling the past, Lucas felt overwhelmed by a mix of feelings that he had never experienced before.
Vincent felt a bit startled when he received Lucas’ call through the intercom. Lucas had been in a bad mood these days. If not necessary, Vincent wouldn’t go to Lucas’ office.
But now it was not up to Vincent since Lucas had already asked to see Vincent.
Vincent braced himself to knock on the office door. “Mr. Thomas?”
Vincent walked to the desk and called out timidly.
Yet Vincent only saw Lucas stare at a dumbphone with a bent head.
Vincent felt confused, but he didn’t dare to ask. He waited for another two seconds before he said, “Mr. Thomas?”
With that, Lucas came back to his senses and looked up at Vincent. “Suppress the gossip.”
Vincent nodded. “Yes, Mr. Thomas.”
Lucas gazed at Vincent for some time before he said, “Have you ever kept anyone in mind for ten years?”
Vincent had no idea where Lucas was going. Vincent hedged a bit before he said, “Mr. Thomas, I may not be a one woman guy. So, no, never.”
“Then do you think one would let go of someone they had been in love with for 10 years easily?”
“Of course not. People like that are always stubborn. On the surface, they may say they have let go of the past, but they couldn’t deep down.”
Lucas paused at what Vincent said:
No?
Was that so?
