Returning With A Thousand Favors novel Chapter 345

Chapter 345 

“Mr. Moore, you promised us earlier that you would stay and hang out with us all night. If you leave now, you are not a man keeping promises then.” 

Seeing that Peter was about to leave, the people teased again. 

“The bill for tonight is on me,” said Peter generously. 

Then, he ignored the teasing of the others and allowed Jessica to lead him out of the bar. 

Naturally, the others did not dare to stop the couple. 

After all, although Peter got along well with them, his status was much higher than theirs. 

Everyone here basically relied on the business Peter provided to make a living. 

No one would offend him. 

Among these people, the one with the worst expression was the beautiful woman who had sat beside Peter. 

“To be honest, when I heard that Mr. Moore was getting married, I thought it was just some entertainment news. 

“After all, Mr. Moore is used to being a playboy. How could he give up all those hotties out there for a single girl? 

“But following, I saw that the Moore family has been busy with the wedding preparations, and I realized it was true.” 

“That’s right. At that time, I was still thinking that Mr. Moore must have been forced by his family. 

“After all, he’s the only son of the family. It’s not difficult to understand if he gets married early and has an heir. 

“But today, when I saw him with his fiancée, I suddenly felt Mr. Moore must have done it willingly. 

“As I have never seen Mr. Moore being so gentle with any women before.” 

“Exactly, just now his tone sounded like he was acting cute. 

“Which of Mr. Moore’s previous girlfriends have you seen capable of making him willingly abandon us and go home?” 

“It’s unexpected. That girl, at most, is good–looking but nothing more, yet she managed to take over Mr. Moore.” 

“Who can say for sure when it comes to matters of the heart? Beauty is in the eyes of the beholder.” 

“That’s true. It seems that we won’t have many opportunities to drink with Mr. Moore later on.” 

These people drank and chatted. 

Their tone did not show much disdain towards Jessica. 

However, the woman sitting on the side had an increasingly displeased expression the more she heard the chattering. 

Then with a loud bang, she slammed the wine glass in her hand onto the table. 

This sudden sound instantly quieted down the noisy atmosphere. 

“What true love? Do you know who that woman is? 

“She’s just a woman with no background and was from a humble family. 

“Don’t think that just because she has a pretty face, then you guys consider her an innocent girl. 

* “I’ve seen many women like her who would do anything just to climb up the social ladder by attaching themselves to a man. 

“She doesn’t love Peter at all, but Peter’s status!” The woman’s tone was fierce and anxious. 

Her hands were even tightly clenched into fists. 

She seemed to want to crush Jessica under her feet. 

She had made that phone call just now, hoping to show Jessica how well–matched she and Peter were. 

But little did she know that Peter followed Jessica without any hesitation. 

Chapter 345 

The atmosphere suddenly became strange. 

After a moment of silence, someone suddenly spoke up. 

“Well… we were just talking casually. It’s getting late now. I should go home, or else my mom will nag at me again.” 

“Yes, yes, yes. I have to hurry back too. I’ve been focusing on my health recently, I have to be in bed before ten.” 

In an instant, everyone scattered. 

The only person left at the scene was the woman with a twisted expression on her face. 

She thought to herself. “Jessica Rodriguez, huh? 

“Don’t get too cocky, soon you’ll know that you’re not worthy of standing by his side!” 

The woman bit her lower lip tightly, the emotions in her eyes surging. 

Meanwhile, Jessica had already helped Peter back home. 

Peter drank a little too much. 

When they entered the house, he could not exert any strength at all. 

It took Jessica a lot of strength to support him into the room. 

In the end, both of them fell onto the bed, exhausted. 

Peter’s entire body pressed against Jessica. 

The weight made it impossible for Jessica to push away. 

“Do you want to push me away?” Sensing Jessica’s resistance, Peter firmly held her hand. 

“No, it’s just that you have been drinking, and I want to get some water to clean you up,” explained Jessica. 

“In the future… you can’t go find Marina anymore…” Peter enunciated each word clearly. 

“Marina is your cousin. You can’t possibly be jealous of her, can you?” Jessica was a little helpless. 

“So what if I am?” It was probably because the alcohol was too strong. 

Peter, who usually would not admit it, bluntly acknowledged it this time. 

Jessica could not help but smile when she heard this. 

“Marina is my best friend…” Jessica said, and instantly, Peter’s face turned cold. 

But in the next moment, Jessica reached out and wrapped her arms around his neck. 

“But you’re the one I love the most!” 

Peter was still angry, but when he heard this, his gaze instantly lit up like fireworks. 

It was so dazzling that it was difficult to look away. 

“What did you say? Say it again!” Peter’s voice was filled with urgency. 

Normally, Jessica would be too shy to say it a second time. 

But she suddenly remembered the woman she had just seen in the bar. 

“From the way that woman dressed, it was obvious she was bold and passionate. 

Jessica had been deliberately avoiding her before. 

But during the time she had spent with Peter, she had somewhat come to know a fact. 

Peter’s previous girlfriends were all of that bold and passionate style. 

So this time, Jessica did not avoid it.
