Chapter 227
Chapter 227
Jessica was not surprised at all. After all, she had already agreed to remarry Lucas. Justin certainly wanted them to hold the wedding as soon as possible.
Jessica seemed too calm to Lucas. Lucas felt that Jessica did not seem willing to remarry him at all. “Jessica, do you really want to remarry me?”
Jessica looked at him, the smile on her face fading. “I said I want to take revenge on you.” Her answer remained unchanged.
Lucas pursed his lips. “If you think it's too fast, I can talk to Grandpa and put the wedding off for some time. We..."
Lucas was trying to say “we could try seeing each other again first". Yet Jessica spoke over him. “Since he's in such a hurry. Let's do it as soon as possible.”
She also wanted to settle it as soon as possible. She was eager to cut ties with the Thomas family for good.
Jessica didn't feel like talking to Lucas anymore. She was afraid that she might not be heartless enough to do this.
With that, Lucas felt delighted.
It seemed that Justin was right. Jessica might look resolute. Yet deep down, she still had feelings for Lucas. She was just waiting for Lucas to take the initiative.
He recalled those two hundred messages on her old phone. For the first time in so many years, Lucas’ heart softened.
He paused. “I'll ask Vincent to make an announcement. If you don’t want to respond, you don't have to."
She had been pursuing him for so many years. This time, let him do the chasing.
What Lucas had said was exactly what Jessica wanted. Jessica was a little surprised to hear him being so “considerate”. She replied, “Thank you.”
Lucas thought he made the right guess when he saw the surprise in Jessica's eyes.
He thought Jessica must still be angry. Her anger hadn't been relieved yet. That was why she pretended to be indifferent.
It was probably because he had hurt her too deeply before, so this time she wanted to try to pretend that she did not care about
him.
Lucas admitted it was indeed his fault in the past. He arrogantly adhered to his own prejudices. He had never understood her before he came to a conclusion. Later, he even allowed the others in the Thomas family to bully her.
It was normal for Jessica to feel angry and wronged.
For the first time in so many years, Lucas had learned to put himself into others’ shoes. He did not even care about what had happened between Jessica and Terry. He looked down at his watch and said, “It's getting late. Go to bed early. I'll be heading out.”
He actually wanted to ask Jessica about the wedding ring. But given Jessica's attitude, Lucas didn't think Jessica would level with
him.
Well, Lucas thought he'd better decide it on his own. Later, when she was no longer mad at him, he would let her choose the one she liked.
“Sure, good night.”
Jessica replied and turned to enter the apartment.
Lucas was strange tonight. He used to be so arrogant and proud. Jessica couldn't believe that he even took her feelings into consideration. He didn't push her or force her to release a statement. Jessica did not dare to talk to him anymore. She did not want Lucas to affect her plan this time. She had to make it.
Lucas had just walked out of the apartment when he saw Terry, who had yet to leave.
The blazer that Jessica had worn just now was on Terry. Lucas found it annoying.
He walked over with a cold face, “Mr. Davison. You are quite idle these days.”
Terry looked at Lucas and chuckled. “What does this have to do with you, Mr. Thomas?”
Lucas did not want to talk nonsense with him. “Stay away from Jessica, Terry. I don't know what I'm gonna do to you.”
“I've had it before. Still remember, Mr. Thomas?”.
Terry sneered. “I will still be very close to Jessica. I don't think you have any right to mind my business, right?”
Lucas’ lips twitched, but he looked at Terry with a rare hint of pride in his eyes. “Jessica is going to marry me again. She will be my wife. I think I do have the right to ask you to stay away from her!” The look on Terry's face changed slightly when he heard Lucas, but he soon recovered. “Then let's wait until you two officially remarry again! As long as you are not yet married, I still have the right to pursue her! Or do you think you are no peer to me, Lucas?”
“Terry!”
Lucas raised his voice. He was very annoyed at how persistent Terry was. “You are no longer a teenage boy. So many years have passed. Why are you still so juvenile?”
