Claiming Her Back

Chapter 38

The man, dressed in a suit, was about forty or fifty years old. But as a man of his age, he was still of

proportional built.

The watch on his wrist was a classic and limited model of Vacheron Constantin. There were only ten

worldwide. and it was priced at more than 1 million dollars.

Olivia said in disgust, “I don’t know him. Maybe he is Jessica’s sugar daddy. Jessica is rich now. She

just said that 400,000 meant nothing to her…”

“Does your brother know about it?”

Trissy’s words reminded Olivia of something. She fished out her phone quickly to take a few photos,

“My brother doesn’t know yet. I will tell him now!”

Trissy averted her gaze onto Olivia and frowned slightly. “But Lucas divorced her. Your brother probably

doesn’t want to know about it.”

After that, Trissy added, “After all, Jessica was once Lucas’ wife. It’s better not to spread this out. Let’s

keep it a secret. If somebody else knows about it, it will disgrace her and the Thomas family too.”

Olivia thought Trissy’s words made sense, but she entertained another thought. Nevertheless, she

nodded, “Trissy, you’re right.”

Morgan had disapproved of Jessica marrying Lucas in the very beginning, and now he hated Thomas’s

family members even more.

As soon as they left the restaurant, Morgan couldn’t help but ask, “Are they Lucas’ younger sister and

sister-in law?”

Jessica did not want to mention Thomas’ family members in Morgan’s presence, but Hannah chipped

in, “Yes, Uncle Hall!”

Morgan sneered, “The Thomas family is really ill-bred!”

“Yes!” Hannah agreed.

When Morgan thought of his daughter’s three-year-long stay with the Thomas family, he became even

more distressed. “In those three years, you…

“Dad, I’m divorced now, so I don’t give the Thomas family a damn now.”

Jessica didn’t want to see Morgan feeling sad. She glared at Hannah and changed the topic. “How long

do you plan to stay here?”

Morgan snorted, “I’ll go to the company tomorrow. We’ll talk about the details later.”

Jessica nodded, “Let me drive you to the hotel to have a rest.”

As Morgan had just had a meeting in the morning and spent over two hours on the plane hurrying here ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .

in the afternoon, he was indeed a little tired. “Why not?”

Taking Jessica’s warning glare, Hannah didn’t dare to say anything else and drove her car from the

parking lot home,

Jessica stopped her car at the entrance of the hotel. Then she turned around to look at Morgan who

was sleeping and called softly, “Dad?”

Morgan was woken up by her call suddenly. He raised his head and gasped from the pain in his neck.

“Do you suffer from cervical spondylosis again?”

Morgan raised his hand and pressed his neck. “I’ve got used to it. Go back and take a rest.”

“I’ll take you to the room and give you a massage.”

As time flashed past, Morgan got old. For the first time, Jessica regretted being willful in the past three

years.

Morgan had been tortured by cervical spondylosis for years. In the past, when Jessica was at home,

she would massage him from time to time to relieve his pain. Over time, she became even more skillful.

But as it had been three years past since she gave Morgan massages, she wasn’t as skillful as she

had been. She couldn’t control her strength. If she used too much strength, it would pain Morgan. If she

did it too gently, it would be pointless. So Jessica had to keep asking him to adjust her strength. “Dad,

how do you feel?”

“Try harder,” Morgan answered.

Suddenly, he sighed, “Jess, you haven’t messaged me for a long time.”

Jessica nearly broke into tears when she heard his words, but she smiled still, “Mom can do it for you,

right?”

Morgan didn’t speak. They kept silent tacitly.

Jessica and Morgan got along quite well before. If Jessica hadn’t insisted on marrying Lucas, she

would have always been the apple of Morgan’s eye and Morgan would have been her prop.

They hadn’t had a heart-to-heart talk for a long time. When Morgan mentioned his childhood suddenly,

Jessica was filled with all sorts of feelings.

When Jessica came out of the hotel, the clock had ticked past ten and it was almost eleven o’clock.

She got into the car but did not drive away immediately. Instead, she lowered down the window. When

the wind blew over, she became awake and aware.

After a while, she put her hand on her eyes before driving away.

The next day before daybreak, Jessica was woken up by Hannah’s call.

As she slept late last night and was woken up early in the morning, she was in a bad mood. “What’s the

big deal?”

If Hannah didn’t call to tell her something important, Jessica wanted to punch her!

Hanna perceived Hannah’s suppressed frustration. She smiled, “I got something important to tell you.

Someone said that you had a sugar daddy!”

Her words sobered Jessica instantly. “Who said?”
