Claiming Her Back novel (Jessica and Lucas) novel Chapter 178

Chapter 178 

“What’s up?” Jessica asked, not wanting to dwell on the subject.

Jessica suddenly felt a headache and could not help but raise her hand to rub her forehead.

“Are you drunk?”

Terry, who was next to her, asked. Jessica glanced at him and nodded. “A little. I had a glass of freshly made fruit cocktail,” Jessica said.

“Give me your hand,” Terry said.

Terry helped Jessica to the door. Jessica looked at the palm that Terry had reached out to her and hesitated.

But before Jessica made up her mind, Terry had already pulled her hand and pressed her index finger against the doorknob.

With a beep, the door opened. Then Terry pushed the door open and helped Jessica in.

“Just sit here,” Terry said.

Jessica was taken to the sofa, and she tilted her head to look at Terry, who was walking toward the kitchen.

Terry was slowly undoing the cufflinks of his shirt.

The muscles on Terry’s forearms were even more burly and more beautiful than some fitness trainers’.

Jessica wondered whether it was appropriate to stare at a man’s forearms like that.

While she was lost in her thoughts, Terry came out with a glass of water. ‘Take some water, and you won’t feel sick in your stomach tomorrow.”

Jessica reached out to take the water, but Terry didn’t let go. As a result, her hand was placed on Terry’s.

Jessica quickly retracted her hand and said, “Sorry.”

Terry just smiled and said, “Don’t move around. The fruit cocktail is actually quite strong. It will cause a headache.”

Terry was right, Jessica did have a bad headache now.

However, Jessica would not lose her mind when she was drunk. Instead, Jessica was very conscious. She just had a terrible headache and didn’t feel like moving.

After drinking half a glass of water, Jessica shook her head and asked, “Why did you come to me?”

“I just want to see you,” Terry replied.

Terry put the remaining water on the table. Jessica looked at the glass of water and somewhat did not know what to say.

After a while, Jessica moved a little and said, “I’m going to get some rest, Terry.”

The wine was so strong that Jessica didn’t bother to chat with Terry.
