Claiming Her Back

Chapter 163

Lucas could tell from Jessica’s tone that she was afraid.

Though he felt a bit upset at Jessica’s fear, he handed her the tie and reached out both of his hands.

‘Tie me up.”

Jessica paused for a moment and realized what he had just asked. She hurried to button up her blazer

and then walked toward Lucas.

Jessica looked up at Lucas. He wasn’t making any moves. Thus, Jessica walked over and tied him up.

Jessica actually didn’t have much strength, and her body was uncomfortably hot. She used all her

strength to bind Lucas’ wrists tightly.

After tying him up, Jessica stepped back and kept her distance from Lucas. She leaned against the

wall and looked at Lucas. “Done.”

Lucas only opened his eyes when he heard that.

He didn’t look at Jessica and turned to the bathroom. “I’ll stay in the bathroom. Leave me alone.”

Jessica didn’t respond. She didn’t collapse on the floor until she heard the door of the bathroom close.

Jessica felt awful because of the drug. She lost consciousness from time to time.

Jessica was torn. She could feel her desire for Lucas. Yet her mind kept telling her to keep rational.

She couldn’t have sex with the man who didn’t love her again.

When the drug lost its effect, Jessica felt like she was just saved from almost drowning. With sweat

drenching her body, she felt cold in the air-conditioned room.

Jessica glanced at the blanket on the bed. She got up and walked over to pull the blanket down and

wrap it around herself. Not long after she sat down on the sofa, Jessica fell asleep.

Lucas, who was in the bathroom, soaked himself in cold water. He gradually woke up.

After waking up, Lucas changed his clothes into a bathrobe and walked out to check on Jessica.

As soon as he got out of the bathroom, Lucas saw Jessica Wrapped tightly in a blanket on the sofa.

She had fallen asleep.

Lucas sat in the armchair beside. Gazing at Jessica in sleep Lucas recalled the messages he had read

the other day. Suddenly, he felt turned on again.

He hedged for a moment before he finally got up and moved to her side. He raised his hand to help

Jessica brush away her messy hair, revealing her palm-sized oval face. His gaze fell on her red lips.

His eyes darkened slightly. Lucas could not help but lower His head to kiss Jessica.

It was a gentle kiss. Then Lucas hurried to step away with guilt.

Hari was right. He had predicted that Lucas would regret what he did sooner or later.

Now, Lucas did.

When Jessica woke up, it was already the next morning.

She moved a bit and found herself in bed.

The curtains in the room were all tightly drawn, blocking the sunlight from outside. It was slightly dark in

the room. But still, sunlight was cast in through the gaps whenever a breeze blew.

Jessica woke up with a headache.

She wanted to check on the time. She raised her hand, only to recall that she didn’t have her phone

with her.

Jessica slowly sat up from the bed. Her collar was torn by Lucas yesterday.

Jessica put on her blazer before removing the blanket and getting out of bed.

When she had just removed the blanket, Jessica gave a slight shudder.

She found a pair of hotel slippers to put on and walked to the window to pull the curtains open.

After the curtains were drawn, Jessica found a balcony outside the French window. Lucas was standing

on the balcony in a bathrobe, smoking.

When Lucas saw Jessica, his eyes flickered slightly. He snuffed out his cigarette and asked Jessica,

“You’re up?”

Jessica’s gaze fell on the red marks on his neck. She nodded and replied in a hoarse voice, “Yep.”

Lucas stepped in. “The door is still locked.”

“You should have a rest, too.”

Jessica sighed and walked into the bathroom to wash up.

Jessica came out of the bathroom. Lucas sat on the sofa and looked at her. “Who do you think was

behind what happened last night?”

Jessica frowned at his question. “I have no idea.”

The person must have been bold enough to offend both the Hall family and the Thomas family.

It was either Jessica’s enemy or Lucas’.

Jessica’s foes from the past were a bit tricky to name. But her recent enemies were mostly related to

the Thomas family.

However stupid Olivia was, she didn’t dare to put her hands on Lucas.

As for Trissy and Luna, they couldn’t have done that, either. Luna was eager to marry Lucas, so the This text is property of Nô/velD/rama.Org.

least Luna wanted was to see Lucas and Jessica being together.

If the target was not Jessica, then it must be Lucas.
