Chapter 101 Childhood Engagement
Jessica listened silently to the story told by Lorenzo, and then pulled out the silver needle.
"What's wrong with you?"
Lorenzo slowly opened his eyes and spoke softly.
"I don't feel good. The girl who was betrothed to you was taken away and became your brother's
fiancée. You must be upset, right?”
Jessica spoke softly, her face pale.
"Are you jealous? She was only one-month old, and you are jealous of her?"
Lorenzo didn't hold back his laughter and burst out.
"That's not necessarily the case, she would have to grow up anyway. According to the time projection,
she's a big girl now, and the baby girl who could make your mother happy and accept the token of
betrothal must be very beautiful, There's no guarantee that you won't have your heart set on it." All text © NôvelD(r)a'ma.Org.
Jessica gazed at Lorenzo.
"You really think too much. We have only met once, after that, my mother's best friend and baby girl
had disappeared into thin air as if they never existed in this world, so I don’t know what she looks like."
Lorenzo answered truthfully.
"Oh? With your connections, it wouldn't be hard to find someone, would it?"
Lorenzo raised his eyebrows at Jessica and was silent for a moment.
Jessica was so thoughtful that she immediately decided that Lorenzo must have sent someone to look
for her.
Jessica, without good grace, suddenly kicked Lorenzo with a vicious force.
Lorenzo was still immersed in Jessica's tenderness, and didn't expect Jessica to kick him at all. Off
guard, he was kicked to underneath the bed, luckily on the ground covered with blanket, or he might
get hurt.
The women who want to be associated with a man of Lorenzo's status could line the streets for ten
miles, so how could anyone dare to disobey him? Jessica was really bold.
Lorenzo's thin lips were pursed, his face not very good, his eyes gazing at Jessica, his aura powerful
and somewhat cold.
"Mr. Fletcher, let me tell you the truth, I am a man of clear grudges, I can't tolerate those women. Leila
is still pestering you, and now there is another girl. Mr. Fletcher, since you have so many women, why
come to me and share a bed with me?!"
Jessica was not afraid of Lorenzo, and her beautiful eyes darted up to look at him with a smile on her
face.
"On account of my doting on you, you're getting unscrupulous?"
Lorenzo spoke in a low voice and quickly reached out to grab her.
Jessica was furious, but her senses were still clear, and when she saw him lunge, she quickly ducked
out of the way.
Lorenzo moved one step faster, his hands imprisoned her waist and with a tug, imprisoning her in his
arms and twisting her waist with his large hands.
"Crazy! Pervert!"
Jessica blushed and subconsciously twisted, but Lorenzo really didn't bother to twist her hard.
"My mother has few friends, the only good one was that best friend. And my mother has no interest in
jewellery and jade, but she was fond of that baby girl. If I could find her, I will treat her as a sister, with
no other extra feelings."
Lorenzo buried his handsome face in the nook of Jessica's neck and spoke in a vague voice.
"If you find that girl and she is beautiful, you will like her, and if not, you will only think of her as a
sister!"
Jessica spoke without a good manner.
Lorenzo didn't answer, his thin lips rubbed against her delicate skin, his eyebrows were full of doting.
When the normally seemingly pure-hearted Jessica got jealous, she was really tough to deal with.
"Jessica, what kind of man do you think I am? You think I'm a man who can't resist a woman? I've
always been very noble and picky, not all women can catch my eye, if she has the beauty, intelligence,
and wit as yours, maybe I could still take a look, but no one can take your place."
"Once I fall in love with someone, I will love her forever, and you are the only one in my eyes,
understand?"
"Bugger off, you should lose some weight!"
Jessica broke away from Lorenzo, when this man said sweet words, it was quite nice to listen to.
Lorenzo dropped a light kiss on her forehead and released her.
"You met once, huh? What's a girl's reaction?"
Jessica lay back down and put the thin blanket over her, looking at Lorenzo with an air of
condescension.
"She reached out and grabbed my hand."
Lorenzo thought about it.
"Caught your hand?"
Jessica lifted her long fingers, landed on Lorenzo's collar, slid them downwards, and finally placed her
hand on Lorenzo's large, broad hand with a slight pressure as she continued to ask.
"Like this?"
Lorenzo's mind recalled the appearance of a little baby girl, one-month old, but she was cute and
pretty, lying quietly in the pink bedding, her soulful eyes staring at him, lifting her hand and grabbing his
finger, smiling happily.
The baby girl was soft and cuddly, really attractive.
"Haha, she is just one-month old, but she likes Lorenzo, in the future the two will be close."
His mother, who saw the scene in front of her at the time, spoke up and teased him.
Without reason, Jessica's appearance melted together with that of the little girl.
He lowered his handsome face and his thin lips covered hers with the utmost tenderness.
"Mr. Fletcher, you are intimidating."
Jessica hurriedly raised her hand and pulled the thin blanket upwards.
"......"
Lorenzo inhaled deeply, and when his breath had settled, he gently embraced Jessica into his arms,
"Close your eyes."
There was a reason why Jessica pressed him so much today. Her whole body was nestled in Lorenzo's
sturdy chest, and she felt safe. She did not say much, but from the conversation, she had some
understanding about Lorenzo’s family.
"Your mother ......"
Lorenzo had little affection for his father, but he had good terms with his mother, which could be sensed
by Jessica.
"My mother and father had an argument, my father beat her, and then when my mother became
pregnant, he left home, only to reappear when she was about to give birth."
"When my mother was nearing the end of her labour, my father forced a pot of abortifacients into her.
My mother had studied medicine in her early years, sacrificed herself to save the child's life, and tried
to save it by cutting it open herself with a knife when conditions did not allow it and there was no
anesthetic. "
"It was just a pity that the drug was too strong, the baby immediately did not breathe. She was found
early, the rescuer rushed to call an ambulance to send her to the hospital. She was saved, but her spirit
had been collapsed. It was a rainy night, my mother escaped from the hospital, jumped into the sea to
commit suicide."
Lorenzo's voice was extremely clear and cold, and his eyebrows showed sadness that could not be
concealed.
Even if Jessica had been prepared, she had not expected things to be so tragic.
How brave does a woman have to be to wield a knife and cut open her belly, to save her child despite
her own safety, but she was still be one step late, so how could she not have a nervous breakdown in a
situation like that?
"Jessica, I gave you the chance to leave, you gave up on your own accord, but since you've provoked
me again, don't even think about leaving again, this time ...... I'm definitely not letting go ......"
Lorenzo held Jessica's arms tighter, inhaling her warmth deeply, as if this could dissolve the cold in his
heart.
