Chapter 106
An hour later. Jessie showed up at Henry’s office.
She rarely visited the company, mainly because she didn’t want to interrupt Henry’s work.
The last time she came was before she and Henry got married, and now the receptionist had changed and didn’t recognize her. When Jessie said she was Mrs. Hawkins, the receptionist looked somewhat shocked.
“Mrs. Hawkins? Oh, hold on a moment, I’ll… I’ll just ask Ms. Lane and see where Mr. Hawkins is.” The receptionist seemed a
bit nervous.
Jessie frowned slightly, thinking, “This receptionist isn’t as competent as the previous one!
She said directly, “No need to ask anyone. I’ll go up directly. If he’s in a meeting. I’ll wait in his office. No need to bother
him.
Jessie thought, And Ms. Lane? Did Henry change his secretary?
‘It seemed he never mentioned it, but he rarely discusses work matters with me, and I seldom asked.
Even though Jessie didn’t visit the company often, she knew what floor Henry’s office was on.
Then she took the elevator by herself.
After she got into the elevator, the receptionist quickly made a phone call. Jessie didn’t notice this.
Henry’s office was on the top floor. He didn’t like being disturbed when he was working, and the top floor was the quietest.
Under Henry’s leadership, Hawkins Group had doubled in size, making the Hawkins family one of the top names in Jardora Thinking about how capable Henry was made Jessie proud. That was her husband.
The thought of Henry being her husband filled Jessie with happiness.
Soon, the elevator reached the top floor.
The moment the elevator doors opened, a stunning woman with an impressive figure was standing right at the elevator door.
The simple white shirt she wore added a touch of allure.
Jessie was amazed for a moment, but she was quite attractive herself. Beauty was subjective, after all.
Yara discreetly sized up Jessie, With a proud look in her eyes typical of a beautiful woman, she nodded slightly and said. “Hello.”
Jessie smiled and replied, “Hello.”
Then she carried the takeout to Henry’s office.
Yara stood in the elevator, watching Jessie with a disdainful look.
Yara thought, ‘No wonder Mr. Hawkins is so wild in bed. It turns out Jessie can never satisfy him. The only reason she married Mr. Hawkins is because they are childhood friends and her family has connections, right?
Does Jessie really think Mr. Hawkins married her out of love?

Vara glanced down at her stockings, complaining in her heart, ‘How annoying. They’re torn again. Thankfully, I always keep a spare pair in my bag.”
Jessie knocked on the door. Henry said, “Come in.” Then she walked inside.
“Surprise. Jessie exclaimed with a grin.
With a smile. Henry looked at Jessie. Is the report ready?”
“Yes, it’s ready. You are in perfect health. So our baby will be very healthy too.” Jessie set down the takeout and pulled the report from her bag. “We can have a baby anytime now, honey
our
Henry walked over and held Jessie in his arms. “Yes, we can have a child of our own.”
At that moment, wrapped in his embrace, Jessie felt truly happy.
Suddenly, she frowned. “Honey, you smell like perfume.”
The perfume smelled familiar, like she had just encountered it.
Henry pressed his lips together. “Really? It must be from my secretary. We rode the elevator together this morning.
“Is that lady who just left your new secretary?” Jessie didn’t think too much about it, but she didn’t really like the scent.
If she wasn’t sure that Henry only had eyes for her, she might have felt jealous about him choosing a secretary prettier than her.
Henry faintly responded.
Seeing Henry treating his secretary indifferently, Jessie didn’t think much of it.
She smiled, “You shouldn’t be so intimidating to the employees. What if they all get scared away?”
“Isn’t it nice that I’m only gentle with you?” Henry tenderly ruffled Jessie’s hair.
Jessie couldn’t stop laughing. “Of course, it is. I easily get jealous. My husband is so handsome, I’m sure many have an eye on
him*
“Don’t worry. It doesn’t matter if they do,” Henry said with a smile.
Jessie felt delighted. “And you don’t need to worry either. Lots of men want to pursue me, but I’m not interested in any of them. I’m only into you.”
“If anyone else tries to pursue you, just tell them you’re my woman and let them stay away.” Henry said with a cold tone.
Seeing Henry’s jealousy, Jessie giggled slyly, “Just teasing. I’ve already announced our marriage on Twitter. Who would dare eye a married woman?”
Henry’s expression softened a little.
Kylie got off work and was about to head to the Walters residence to keep Noreen company when she received a photo. It was sent by a classmate.
The classmate happened to pass by the place where Ethan worked and witnessed the scene.
Craig blocked Ethan’s path and got down on one knee.

The photo was very clear. It clearly showed the shock on Ethan’s face as well as Craig’s humble back.
He actually went to cause trouble for Ethan.
Kylie took a deep breath, gripped the steering wheel tightly, and made a sharp turn.
There was no traffic on the way, so Kylie soon arrived at the technology company where Ethan worked.

At that moment, Ethan was looking expressionlessly at Craig, surrounded by a crowd of people watching the scene unfold.
“Ethan, can you help me? Kylie and I have been together for so many years. I can’t just let it end like this,” Craig begged.
Craig was completely surprised at Ethan’s stubbornness. He had been pleading for almost half an hour. A lot of people gathered around them and he even brought several classmates to convince Ethan, but Ethan remained firm.
Moreover, Ethan’s stance was clear. “You can’t force love. You and Kylie are not meant to be. You didn’t appreciate her when you could, and now it’s too late to complain and ask for her back. Craig, no matter what you say or how many people you get to help, my answer is still the same. I don’t agree with Kylie being
ith you.”
Ethan thought, Besides, Kylie is married now. She will arrange for me to meet her husband in a couple of days.
“Given past experiences, I will have a serious talk with her husband when we meet.
I needed to make sure her husband understood that behind Kylie is a protective brother like me who won’t allow her to be mistreated.
Craig lowered his head, his eyes filled with malice.
“Come on. Don’t be so unreasonable, alright?” said a male classmate, raising his voice to persuade. “Craig and Kylie have been together for so long. We all envied them in school. They were almost married. It’s not worth breaking up over something minor, is it?”
Others joined in with persuasion.
Moral coercion again? Kylie thought, quickly walking over.
