Contract Marriage: My Sweet Bossy Wife

Chapter 146 Get Back Home

Meanwhile, both Lorenzo and Jessica remained silent inside the car.

The air seemed to be frozen.

“Lorenzo, are you being mad?” Jessica asked with soft voice. She could tell from his face that he was

in a bad mood.

“I am sure you can tell the answer.” With his eyes fixed forward, Lorenzo replied while driving.

“Listen, I don’t know your aunt is actually the chairwoman of the Training Institute. Nor do I know that

Wilfred is your brother. I have met him before. But I didn’t know his name at that time.” Said Jessica.

“But you were working together.” Lorenzo took a glance at her.

He didn’t know when Wilfred reached Ameriart. Nor did he know what Wilfred was about to do.

“Wilfred started working in the Training Institute earlier than I did.” Jessica explained honestly.

“Were you familiar with each other?”

“No. All I knew was that he worked in the Institute. Besides that, I know nothing about him. I didn’t even

know his name until a moment ago. I met him for a few times when he did me some favor.” Jessica

never thought that there would be anything fishy about Wilfred.

However, Lorenzo kept frowning. He slightly squinted while sneering.

He knew well about Wilfred, who was known to be hard to reach among the upper class. Actually,

Wilfred appeared much more aloof than Lorenzo. However, Jessica was such an exception that Wilfred

was willing to help her more than once.

What a sudden change! Or perhaps such a change only occurred for the sake of Jessica.

What was more, he didn’t even tell her his name until a moment ago.

At the thought of that, Lorenzo suddenly speeded up.

The car, while the engine of which was modified, started galloping at full throttle.

“Ahhh!” Jessica’s heart almost skipped a beat.

Her face went pale while she was screaming with both hands clutching at the handle above her head.

“Lorenzo…slow down…please…I am gonna puke!”

However, Lorenzo simply ignored it. He kept driving at full speed, frowning heavily. A horrible

expression appeared on his face.

“Lorenzo, there must be a misunderstanding. I know you are mad. But so am I. I didn’t even know that

until I attended the banquet. I didn’t mean to deceive you! I did nothing wrong!”

“Listen, if you insist that it’s all on me. Why don’t you reflect on what you have done? You turned to

your aunt to get Leila admitted to the Training Institute. At lease I have never done anything like that.

What’s more, you provided financial backup for Leila to help her start her study in the Institute. I didn’t

even blame you for that!”

“Hey, if you keep being unreasonable, I am gonna get mad! Let me repeat it again! Believe it or not,

there is nothing special between me and Wilfred. Nothing!”

Her face had turned ghastly pale as she was totally overwhelmed by nausea. Her heartbeat was

running wild.

The air was getting even much more intense. Undoubtedly. it was gonna be the most heated argument

between them ever since they got married.

Lorenzo felt like being choked. He pulled off the tie and unbuttoned the upper part of his shirt.

Valentina’s intention was being too obvious to be ignored—she was arranging a blind date between

Wilfred and Jessica.

What he hated the most was that there was someone else preying for the one he cherished the most.

Lorenzo took a deep breath. Then he turned to look at Jessica, whose face remained pale while she

was clutching at the handle with both hands. Her lips got tightly pressed while she fixed her eyes on

her own hands. Her forehead started sweating out of panic.

However, she still struggled to hold back her fear. Though haunted by horror, she maintained silence as

long as possible.

But soon, Lorenzo collected himself. Though he had always been composed and reasonable, he

actually went out of control when driven by madness, totally regardless of the matter of safety.

Commonly speaking, he barely went out of control. His heartbeat started running wild when he noticed

how foolish he was a moment ago.

He hurried to slow down and drove within speed limit. Then he got a place to pull over.

As soon as the car was stopped, Jessica got rid of the safety belt and ran out of car. She rushed over

under a tree to puke.

Fortunately, she didn’t have any food during the banquet but a few drinks. Tears dropped onto the

ground as she coughed violently.

Seeing that, Lorenzo was rendered heartrending.

He was being such a jerk!

He hurried over to pat on her back. However, his hand froze in the air before he could touch her.

After a short silence, he noticed that Jessica seemed better. He rushed back to the car to get some

tissue for her.

“Lorenzo, I hope what you were doing will never happen again. Don’t ever risk your life! You gotta know

how much I am concerned about you. And I was feeling really awful…the dizziness still haunts me right

now…” Jessica didn’t utter until quite a while later. NôvelDrama.Org holds this content.

“Sorry, I didn’t mean to…I…I just lost control…I am such a jerk! I gotta be crazy again!” he sneered at

himself while watching her pale face, where tear stains still remained.

“How are you feeling right now? Don’t be guilty. Just take the pills.” Jessica felt sorry for him when

seeing that he was greatly disturbed by the sense of guilt.

She walked to the car to fetch a little box from her bag, in which she took out a few pills to feed him.

However, he shook his head after some consideration.

Whenever Jessica fed him pills, he would take it willingly. However, he refused this time.

“Why?” asked Jessica.

“It won’t work. The pills can’t save an incurable person like me…” his voice sounded vague.

He took a look at those pills and then threw them away.

“Hey, what are you doing?” Jessica hurried over to squat down to pick up those pills regardless of

those cars running on the road.

“Stop! You wanna get killed?” frightened, Lorenzo hurried to pull her back into his arms.

“Lorenzo, what are you doing? You can be cured! Why? Don’t ever give up, for the sake of me and

your grandma!” Jessica started sobbing.

“I don’t wanna take pills today…maybe tomorrow…” he hugged her tight.

Then he held her up to take her back into the car.

…

“Lorenzo? I didn’t expect you to return so soon. What about the girl Valentina mentioned about? Did

you meet her?” Alina hurried over when seeing both Lorenzo and Jessica pushed the door open.

“Of course, grandma, she’s standing right in front of you.”

“What?” Alina looked a bit confused.

“Grandma…actually…Aunt Valentina made a little mistake…well…I have met Aunt Valentina before…

But at that time, we knew nothing about each other…” Jessica explained awkwardly.

“You mean you are the girl Valentina was referring to?” Alina looked at her.

“Yep…probably…” Jessica answered with low voice, embarrassed.

“But there’s one thing I am confused about…It was said that you didn’t even finish your study in middle

school. Why?” Alina shared the same confusion with Valentina.

“Grandma, I have no idea either how comes this rumor becomes known to all…I didn’t finish my middle

school because I had got dual doctorate degrees at that time at the age of 16. I didn’t find it necessary

to continue with my study. Aunt Valentina suggested that I should work in the Training Institute. But

there is such a long distance…that’s why I turned down her offer.”

“But this time, she insisted that I must go. So I agreed to attend the banquet. That’s what was

happening.”
