Chapter 362

    The nanny walked in with a thermos, propped up the side table, and began


    serving the dishes. "Mrs. Jacobson Senior, I''ve brewed this chicken soup for five hours over low heat. Please have a taste-"


    "Get it out of my sight! I don''t want it!" Rowena hissed.


    Although she was speaking to the nanny, her eyes never once left Sophia''s face, ring at her with rage.


    Sophia curled her lips into a victorious smirk, picked up her purse, and sashayed right out of the door.


    Lester had brought Cassandra along to visit Tessa.


    They found Tessa''s ward surprisingly lively when the ward''s door slid open.


    Sienna and Naomi had arrived a few minutes ago.


    Naomi was holding a Hermès purse as she teased Tessa, "Babe, I went all the way to Fairford just to buy this purse for you. I''ll have you know that this particr purse isn''t avable in the country.


    "Plus, you know my motto. Shopping is the cure to all ailments. I''m sure you''ll be healed in no time now that I''ve gotten you this purse."


    Meanwhile, Sienna had a Cartier box in her hands as she said with a smile, "Tessa, I bought you a bracelet."


    Tessa chuckled. "What''s with all the gifts? It isn''t even my birthday."


    "We''re hoping you''ll have a swift recovery so you''ll be able to have fun with us as swiftly as possible." Naomi giggled. Then, she added, "You have no idea how boring those escorts are without you around."


    Quentin''s face darkened upon hearing her words. He reached out to bonk Naomi on the head lightly, saying sternly, "Hosts, you say? Do you even hear yourself?"


    "Ow!" Naomi jerked her head to re at Quentin yfully as she rubbed her aching head. "I''m just fooling around with Tessa to brighten the mood. Why are you being such a killjoy?"


    "How is it my fault that you just had to choose the wrong words to say?" Quentin retorted hotly.


    Tessa huffed in amusement. When she caught sight of Lester and Cassandra, she invited them in warmly, saying, "You''re here, Mr. Cooper, Cassie."


    Lester led Cassandra into the ward.


    Tessa was all smiles as she epted the bouquet. She ruffled Cassandra''s hair gently. "Thank you, Cassie."


    "This is for you." Lester handed something over to Tessa.


    There was a shiny charm resting in his palm. It was a tiny thing, but it was more than obvious that it was a religious charm.


    Lester casually continued, "It''s from Lacroix Summit."


    "Lacroix Summit?" Jasmine nced at the charm in Lester''s hand with surprise.


    "My mother went therest month to get one. It looks exactly the same as the one she''s gotten."


    Lester pursed his lips and said nothing.


    Jasmine turned her gaze to look at Lester. There was an odd look on her face as she said, "It''s a pain to get one of them. My mother said she had to take the stairs up to the peak at midnight and pray earnestly all the way.


    "She had to stay outside and was only given entry once dawn came. I had no idea how they knew she was a devout believer, but the priest working there ended up giving her a blessed charm for her efforts."


    Jasmine didn''t expect Lester to go to Lacroix Summit just to get a charm for Tessa.


    So, even though she thought that Tessa and Stephen were her one true pairing,


    she couldn''t help but find herself wavering.


    Tessa looked at Letser when she heard Jasmine''s words.


    He looked the same as always, with


    his gentle demeanor and gold-rimmed sses. Still, she couldn''t help but notice that there was an emotion she couldn''@quite decipher hidden in his eyes.


    Didn''t he say that they were just friends?


    Why would he go that far if they were only friends?


    Lester didn''t say anything. Instead, he merely met her gaze with his own.
