Claiming Her Back

Chapter 21

y don’t know what you are talking about!” Olivia retorted as she felt that Rebecca was gazing over with

confusion in her eyes

Jessica was not in the mood to argue with Olivia. She threw the tissue into the trash can and left the

restroom.

Coincidentally, Jessica saw Lucas after moving only a few steps.

Because of what Olivia had said, Jessica did not want to talk to Lucas.

Lucas watched as Jessica passed by. He felt irritated when Jessica ignored him once again. He said

coldly, “Jessica.”

Jessica halted and tilted her head slightly to look at Lucas, “What can I do for you, Mr. Thomas?”

Unlike before, Jessica’s eyes were icy cold when she looked at Lucas now. Lucas felt upset about it.

“Terry pursued you because of me. Please stay sober.”

Sober? Jessica felt that her least sober moment was when she decided to marry Lucas three years

ago.

“Thanks for your reminder, Mr. Thomas. But we have divorced now. I hope you and your family can

stay away from me.”

Jessica then glanced at Lucas coldly before she left.

Lucas and Olivia ruined Jessica’s day. After returning home, Jessica fell asleep at once. The next

morning, her phone rang for a long time before she picked it up.

“Jessica, you have half an hour to get ready. I’ll drive over to pick you up. Let’s go horse riding at

Sunset Ranch today.” Hannah’s cheerful voice came through the phone.

Jessica stretched a bit and asked, “Why horse riding all of a sudden?”

“It’s been a long time since I last rode a horse. Besides, the views are good when looking down from

Griffith Mountain. You’ve been working hard recently. Don’t you want to relax a bit?”

Jessica was somewhat attracted. She then said, “I’ll get up right now. See you later.”

Los Angeles was on the west coast. It was the Mediterranean climate there. Thus, it was still a bit cold

in April.

It was already ten o’clock when Jessica and Hannah arrived at the ranch. It had been a long time since

Jessica last rode a horse. She felt much more pleased after riding the horse around Mulholland Drive.

Jessica was about to have a rest when she heard someone call her name from afar.

Jessica turned around and saw Hari heading over on a horse.

“Jessica, what a coincidence! You are here for horse riding, too!”

“Nope.” Jessica glanced at him and said, “Just a walk.”

At that time, Hannah also came back on her horse. After seeing Hari, Hannah’s face turned grim.

“Why do I get to see you everywhere?”

“Why? Aren’t you happy to see me, Miss Howell?” Hari snorted.

“Certainly not. The friend of a scumbag must be a scumbag as well.” Original content from NôvelDrama.Org.

Right after Hannah said that, Lucas came over on a white horse.

Wearing a well-fitting riding suit, Lucas looked a little like Prince Charming. Hannah subconsciously

turned to

Jessica, only to see Jessica head for the lounge with her chin lifted.

Jessica had just entered the lounge when she saw Terry sitting on the sofa drinking coffee,

“Mr. Davison, a coincidence again?” Jessica raised her eyebrows. It seemed that a lot of acquaintances

of hers were there

“Someone told me today that the ranch has a good view. I came over to have a look.” Terry walked up

to Jessica, He suddenly got close to Jessica. His handsome face was magnified and she could see his

straight nose and gorgeous eyes.

Terry looked at Jessica with a sly smile. “The view is indeed good.”

Terry’s eyes were full of passion, which made Jessica’s face burn.

Jessica tilted her face. She was suddenly lost for words. Jessica was about to head out when Terry

went on, * Jessica, would you like to have a bet with me?”

Jessica turned around and looked at Terry in confusion. “What’s the bet about?”

“There is a white pavilion on the other side of the ranch. Let’s have a race. If I win, you will be my plus-

one for an event next week. If I lose, I won’t be around you next week.”

Jessica chuckled softly, “Sure. Mr. Davison. Let’s go.”

The two left the lounge side by side and mounted their horses together before the crowds.

Terry glanced at Jessica and said, “Ready… Go!”

With that, the two horses dashed out at the same time.

Jessica had a professional horse-riding coach when she was a child, but Terry’s horse-riding skills were

much better than she had imagined. He followed her all the way. Although he never surpassed her, he

was close to her.

When they were 200 meters away from the pavilion, Terry suddenly sped up and overtook Jessica on

his horse.

When Jessica realized what was happening, it was too late for her to catch up with Terry.

On his horse, Terry gazed at Jessica with expectations in his eyes. “Jessica, you lost.”

Jessica could accept her failure. She then said at once, “If I lose, I lose.”
