Claiming Her Back

Chapter 128

Lucas drove “teadily on the road. The two of them remained silent, and there was only the sound of

breathing in the car.

The air conditioner kind of bothered Joggio# She gave a quiet oough.

Then, Jessica saw lucan turn off the air conditioner and lower the window on her side,

The night breeze blew in. Jessica took a deep breath and felt relaxed,

Jessica, I heard from Miss Howell that you’ve had feelings for me since a long time ago?” Lucas

suddenly asked as Jessica was about to close her eyes and take a rest

Jessica could not help but chuckle when she heard that. “Is my answer important to you, Mr. Thomas? I

have to remind you again that we have divorced.”

The marriage between the two had come to an end. Thus, Jessica found Lucas’ question pointless,

“In the past, it wasn’t, but now, it is,” said Lucas.

Jessica could feel a ripple in her heart. She wasn’t sure what Lucas meant by that.

Before Jessica could figure it out, Lucas continued, “I thought about it hard and even asked Hari, but I

still can’t recall how you met me over a decade ago. Jessica, can you please tell me what happened

back then?”

When Hannah came to Lucas that day, she accidentally slipped up.

But what Hannah said shocked Lucas,

Lucas knew that Jessica had been in love with him, but he didn’t know that love had lasted for such a

long time.

Jessica was only in her twenties now. If her love for Lucas started over a decade ago, she had been

loving him for half of her life,

Yet Lucas treated Jessica so poorly. He couldn’t even recall when he first met her. That was why Lucas

was eager to know what had happened back then.

Jessica did not know what was on Lucas’ mind. She didn’t mind Lucas knowing about her teenage

crush on him, but she couldn’t bear it when Lucas mentioned it repeatedly to remind her how terrible

their romantic relationship had been.

“Mr. Thomas, I think I have to remind you again that we have already divorced. I have zero interest in

talking about the past. If you want to prove your personal charm, you may turn to Miss Cheek.” Jessica

turned her head and said coldly.

orary.

“You got me wrong.” The traffic left turned red, so Lucas slowly stopped the car. He then reached out to

the back seat and handed a file to Jessica

Lucas said, “Here’s the report of Vincent’s investigation.”

Lucas saw the traffic light turn green, so he turned his head and started the car again.

Jessica opened the report, which contained the result of what had happened between the two in the

hotel four years ago.

“And what’s the point of this?” Jessica looked at Lucas and asked

*It was my fault. Four years ago, I didn’t look into it. I thought it was you who drugged me.”

“Was that why you never cared about me and let your family bully me?” Jessica spoke over Lucas. She

sneered and said, “Mr. Thomas, even if you had known that I was not the one who drugged you back

then, you would still marry me, right? Because your goal was always to protect Luna.”

Lucas didn’t know what to say. If he had known that Jessica was also drugged four years ago, he

would still marry Jessica, but he would perhaps treat her better and less indifferently,

“Lucas, I don’t hate you for not loving me, I hate you because you used my love against me and

deceived me. Please pull over. Jessica unfastened her seat belt. She did not want to be with Lucas

anymore.

Lucas pursed his lips. For the first time, he felt lost for words. He stopped the car on the side of the

road, and as soon as he

stopped, Jessica opened the door and got out. Tve let you down.” That was all Lucas could say.

“Mr. Thomas, you should know that I don’t have to forgive you when you apologize.” Jessica then left

with her purse.

Lucas sat there and did not start the car. He stayed for a long time. He tossed a glance at the report

and felt bothered by a mixed feeling. Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.

Lucas did not know why he had brought up this topic. He just wanted Jessica to know that there was

some misunderstanding between them.

Lucas wanted to tell Jessica that he didn’t love Luna, but Jessica didn’t give him the chance.
