Chapter 126


    Jessica saw herself as someone who could take it or leave it easily. When she decided to divorce


    Lucas, she intended to stay away from him and the Thomas family for good.


    However, Olivia just wouldn’t stop causing trouble for Jessica.


    Jessica could let go of the misery she had suffered during the marriage, but that did not mean that any


    of the Thomas family could challenge her again and again.


    Jessica decided that the dinner with Lucas wouldn’t be a pleasant one for him.


    Two dayster, Wendy received a call from Vincent.


    The dinner would take ce that evening. Vincent called, as Lucas had told him, to ask if there was


    any change in Jessica’s itinerary and if the dinner needed re-appointing.


    After hearing what Wendy reported, Jessica put on a snide smile.


    When Jessica was still married to Lucas, he never treated her so meticulously.


    After work, Wendy drove Jessica to the restaurant where Lucas had made a reservation beforehand.


    It was a Japanese restaurant. Jessica remembered that Lucas did not like seafood, but she was the


    one who liked it. It seemed that Lucas picked the ce for Jessica’s sake.


    Lucas even booked the whole restaurant.


    Jessica arrived at the entrance where the waiter opened the door and bowed to her. He said


    respectfully, “Good evening, Miss Hall. Mr. Thomas and Miss Thomas are waiting for you.”


    Olivia was here, too?


    Jessica raised her eyebrows and walked toward them.


    Walking to the dining table, the waiter took a step forward and pulled out the dining chair. After Jessica


    sat down, she


    smiled to greet Lucas. Then she nced sideways at Olivia.


    It had only been three days since Jessicast saw Olivia, yet Olivia seemed to have lost a lot of weight.


    Jessica could also tell that Olivia was quite listless.


    Jessica heard that Lucas put Olivia into the ck House for what she’d done. What Jessica heard


    proved right.


    “Miss Thomas doesn’t look well. I wonder if you’ll like the food here. I’m quite into it, anyway.” Jessica


    said with a smile. Before Olivia could say anything, Jessica gestured at the waiter and said, “Could you


    give me the menu, please?”


    Olivia was too listless to fight back even if she wanted to. The three days in ck House felt like three


    weeks to her.


    Back in the ck House, Olivia could only drink water. She wasn’t allowed to eat. She could only lie on


    the hard floor, so she was cold and hungry.


    At first, Olivia cried and cursed loudly, but no one paid any attention to her.


    It was all dark. Olivia could only hear her own echo.


    Later, Olivia started to feel scared. She felt that every second she spent in the ck House was


    elongated.


    It wasn’t easy to make it to the third day. Lucas had someone let Olivia out, but Lucas didn’tfort


    her when he saw her. He just asked her to take a shower and change her clothes so that Lucas could


    take her to apologize to Jessica.


    Olivia did not dare to object this time. Even if Jessica had belittled her right in the face, Olivia did not


    dare to refute it


    The waiter handed the menu over, and Jessica casually nced at it before ordering all sorts of


    sashimi and sushi.


    When the dishes were served, Olivia found that even the topping of the sushi was raw fish, She felt so


    sad about that. If


    she had known earlier, she would have grabbed a piece of bread before leaving.


    Lucas nced at the chopsticks, but eventually, he chose the fork. Jessica saw him put a piece of


    salmon into his mouth and swallowed it without chewing much. His face remained unchanged.


    For some reason, Jessica found that side of Lucas funny.

    Olivia knew that Lucas did not like these dishes. She understood that Jessica was deliberately making


    things difficult for them, so Olivia felt a little aggrieved as she watched Lucas eat.


    What made Olivia even more depressed was that she was really hungry now, so even if she didn’t like


    sashimi. She had to eat it, just like Lucas.


    This was the first time Lucas and Jessica had sat together for a meal after divorced. Lucas was still


    silent, but there was no longer coldness in his eyes when he looked at Jessica


    It was also the first time Lucas had carefully observed Jessica eating. He found that even though she


    was using chopsticks, she still looked elegant.


    Jessica, on the other hand, was enjoying Olivia’s facial expressions while eating. Jessica was in a good


    mood.


    Olivia ate nothing in the past three days. The sashimi made her stomach feel ufortable.


    However, Lucas and Jessica were eating slowly. They hadn’t started talking at all.


    Olivia got so heated that she sweated on her forehead.


    Finally, the silence on the dining table was broken by a sudden rumbling of Olivia’s stomach.
