Claiming Her Back

Chapter 151

If Jessica knew that she would run into the two men about to start a fight, she would rather ask a

neighbor for help than come downstairs herself.

She fell asleep, but period pain bothered her due to the recent intensive schedule.

Jessica rummaged around the apartment, only to find there were no painkillers at home. She decided

to go out and buy some.

As soon as she walked out of the apartment, Jessica unexpectedly saw Lucas and Terry fighting on the

empty walkway.

They were going to fight again.

Jessica glanced at Terry and said, “Go on.” She took a step and walked to the side.

Terry pursed his lips and glanced at Lucas. “You’re lucky today!”

Terry soon caught up with Jessica. “Are you feeling OK?”

Jessica hurried downstairs. She was wearing a random dress picked from the wardrobe. The wind blew

and the hem of the dress touched Terry’s calf.

Jessica raised her eyebrows. “I need to buy something.”

She stopped at the door of the convenience store. ‘Aren’t you going to fight each other?”

Terry didn’t expect Jessica to come downstairs. He wasn’t sure how much she had heard. He

confessed what happened last night to Jessica. “I’m sorry. I let Lucas hit my face that night on

purpose.”

The truth came out of the blue and surprised Jessica. “Why?”

Terry looked down at her. “I just want to get some sympathy from you.”

Jessica looked at Terry and asked, “So you hit Mr. Thomas in the stomach on purpose too?”

“Yes.” Terry nodded frankly.

Jessica pursed her lips and did not express any opinion. She simply said, “He has long suffered a

stomach problem.”

Lucas followed them and tried to explain. But he heard their conversation and suddenly lost his

courage.

What could he say?

Terry confessed and Jessica knew everything.

How could he properly explain why he started a dispute that night?

How could he explain why he had been so impulsive?

He thought that Terry was kissing Jessica.

Noticing Lucas’ gaze, Jessica glanced up at him. “Mr. Thomas, do you want to say something as well?”

Jessica’s expression was almost emotionless, but her tone didn’t sound as mocking as before.

Lucas felt his heart soften. “I’m sorry about what happened last night.”

‘I see.”

Jessica replied, “I heard your apology. Can you leave now?”

.

Lucas froze for a moment and glanced at Terry with a meaningful look.

Jessica turned to Terry. ‘Mr. Davison, please leave as well.”

Terry raised his eyebrows. “Okay.”

Terry turned around and left.

However, Lucas did not leave. Jessica ignored him and went into the pharmacy to take two bottles of

period pain relief. She left after paying.

When Jessica came out of the pharmacy, Lucas called her, Jessica.”

She stopped but didn’t look back. “Is there anything else?”

“Do you…”

He wanted to ask, “Do you still like me?”

But Lucas simply said, ‘Nothing. Have a good night.”

Jessica didn’t respond. She walked into the lobby and then into the elevator.

After Jessica went back, the night street became empty again.

The walkway below the apartment had no single soul. Only the pharmacy Jessica had just visited was Content is © by NôvelDrama.Org.

on business.

Terry was quite obedient and left as Jessica told.

Lucas pursed his lips and reached for his pocket, only to find there was no cigarette.

Jessica returned home, took the painkiller with a cup of water, and then went back to bed. After all, she

had to be prepared for tomorrow’s morning meeting.

But period pain deprived her of a sound sleep.

It was summer in LA, and the air conditioning was on. But Jessica couldn’t sleep. She lay on the bed,

sweating from the pain.

She hated getting up when the doorbell rang.

Soon, the doorbell rang again.

Jessica frowned. Who the hell came in the middle of the night?

She bit her lip, got off the bed, and left the bedroom in her slippers.

When she opened the door and saw Lucas, she was stunned. “It’s so late. Mr. Thomas, why don’t you

go back home and have some sleep?”

Because of period pain, Jessica’s face was a little pale and her tone sounded a little impatient.

Jessica didn’t answer his question directly. “Anything else?”

Jessica was shocked and felt dizzy when her belly throbbed with pain.
