Claiming Her Back

Chapter 147

It rained in downtown LA. As soon as Jessica opened the car door, she immediately felt a chill.

Jessica was distracted for a moment before a coat fell on her shoulders.

Jessica turned around and saw Terry standing beside her, holding an umbrella. He reached out and

said, “Miss Hall, let me help you get out of the car.”

Jessica looked at Terry’s hand and hesitated for a moment. She didn’t put her hand on it. She got out of

the car directly.

Terry didn’t mind that. He retracted his hand and waited for Jessica to get out of the car before he

closed the door.

The two walked into the mall together. Jessica saw a row of claw machines in the arcade and could not

help but stop. “Did you bring me here to catch a doll, Mr. Davison?”

“Don’t you like it?” Terry tilted his head and smiled at her. “Miss Hall, you can have fun today. Just take

it as another birthday party for you.”

“Maybe next time. I don’t have much time today.” Jessica raised her wrist to look at the time. But before

she could say another word, Terry had already pulled her in.

After a while, Terry came back with a large pile of game coins. He pointed at one of the claw machines

loaded with Disney dolls and said, “This one, maybe?”

Jessica actually liked to catch dolls when she was in school. Although she often couldn’t catch any, she

still loved the process.

After all, Jessica could have bought the whole store if she wanted.

Jessica smiled. She took over a game coin from Terry and put it into the claw machine.

The mechanical claw swayed under Jessica’s control. Jessica saw the mechanical claw sway above a

Mickey Mouse doll, so she pressed the button.

In the end, the mechanical claw shook and missed the doll.

Terry looked at Jessica, who was having fun, and couldn’t help but smile. He asked, “Are you happy

now?”

“I am!” Jessica seemed to have regained the joy of being a student as she focused on the claw

machine.

“If you are happy, I suppose you are satisfied with my gift.” Terry looked at Jessica’s face and said, “If I

do something annoying in the future, please forgive me given the fun you’ve had today.”.

“Pardon?” Jessica was too busy grabbing a rabbit doll that she had taken a fancy to, so she didn’t quite

follow Terry

Terry smiled and said, “Nothing. I’ll help you catch it. What do you think?”

The smile on Jessica’s face faded when she heard this. “I don’t like the idea.”

“if you go on like this, you won’t be able to catch it even if you use up your game coins. I’ll help you.”

Terry approached

Jessica, bent over, and whispered in her ear with a smile.

With that, Terry stood behind Jessica, one hand grabbing Jessica’s hand to press against the joystick

of the claw machine,

When the mechanical claw stopped on the doll, Terry grabbed Jessica’s hand with his other hand and

pressed the button.

The mechanical claw descended, grabbed a rabbit doll, and then shakily dropped it at the exit.

“We made it!” Jessica was overjoyed and bent down to take out the rabbit doll, Terry looked at her

happy face and raised his hand to hook it around Jessica’s waist.

Jessica pushed Terry’s hand away. Her face then turned cold. “Sorry, I don’t want to stay here

anymore.

“You are mad?” Terry stepped back a bit. He looked at Jessica and asked.

Jessica did not speak. Before this, she had been a bit partial to Terry. Although she had not considered

having a relationship at the moment, she kind of liked Terry since he knew what to do and what not.

But just now, Jessica felt that Terry had gone too far.

T’m not mad. I’m just a little tired.” Jessica checked her watch again. It was almost nine. “Send me to

Joel Robuchon Restaurant. I am already late.”

Terry smiled a bit helplessly and said, “Alright.”

Jessica looked at Terry, wanting to say something, but in the end, she did not speak.

There was only silence in the car as they made their way to Joel Robuchon. NôvelDrama.Org © 2024.

Ten minutes later, the car slowly stopped. Jessica picked up the umbrella and said to Terry, “Thank you

for today. Good night”

“Good night.” Terry gave Jessica a deep look.

Jessica walked into the restaurant and found the table Lucas had reserved, but she did not see Lucas

there.

That was when the waitress showed up.

“Miss, what can I do for you?”

Jessica looked at the waitress and asked softly, “Mr. Thomas has already booked a table here. Has he

not arrived yet?”

“I’m sorry for that. You must be Miss Hall.” The waitress bowed to Jessica and explained, “Mr. Thomas

arrived half an hour before eight today, but he suddenly felt unwell twenty minutes ago and had to

leave.”
