Subsequently, she got to her feet and regained her composure before heading to the restaurant next door.
“I’m sorry to have kept you waiting.”
Upon entering the restaurant, Jessica gave her two guests an apologetic look.
Her arrival brought a sense of relief to Roxanne and Jack who responded with a faint smile. “It’s all right. Please take a seat.”
Nodding in acknowledgment, Jessica sat down beside them. However, at the sight of the untouched food on the table, she looked at them in surprise. “Didn’t I ask you to start first? Why did you wait for me? I’m really sorry that the food is now cold.”
Since Roxanne didn’t know Jessica that well, she simply broke into a cordial smile.
As for Jack, he gave her a perfunctory reply. “Since you’re the host, it’s right that we wait for you.”
He had barely spoken when silence descended upon the table.
At a loss as to what to do, Roxanne gave Jack an awkward look, for she intended to leave early if possible.
When Jessica wasn’t around, she and Jack could still talk about the partnership.
Now that the former had arrived, they would have to stop.
Thus, Roxanne had no desire to continue wasting time there.
When Jack’s eyes met hers, he easily guessed what was on her mind. Taking the initiative to break the silence, he said, “Jessica, didn’t you mention that this meal…”

GREAT! Chapter 1970 was actually a repeat of Chapter 1770! And the same up to 1976! Now Ive missed 6 chapters and no idea what is happening! Plus all those sections that are badly typed then typed again and then again correctly……what a waste of “chapters”....
Wish there was more to the story, like how the triplets end up and if the twins are as smart as their older siblings. Beautiful story 😊...
Very best book out there, full of surprises and true love. Recommend to all....
