Chapter 148 Obtained Jessica's Address
"Grace, I'm so happy, you have no idea how excited I am. At this moment, I feel like my whole life has been worth it," Jessica exclaimed.
Back then, she was so innocent, so excited, smiling like a little fool.
But now, this marriage only lasted two short years before ending in failure.
It was painful for someone who still had strong feelings but experienced a bitter ending.
Especially for Jessica, who loved so deeply.
If she wasn't completely broken and utterly desperate, how could she bear to leave?
At this moment, Grace suddenly felt that all the comforting lines she memorized for her acting were useless because she couldn't find a single word to console her good friend.
She felt foolish because while Jessica could always cheer her up, she couldn't find the right words to comfort Jessica!
In the end, Grace could only reach out and pile Jessica's favorite dishes into her bowl, urging her, "Enjoy the meal."
Jessica said with a smile, "Grace, you don't have to do this. Just having you with me makes me very happy."
Grace couldn't take it anymore, her eyes welling up with tears.
She immediately got up, walked over to Jessica, and hugged her tightly. "I'm sorry, Jessica. Why am I so bad with words? I'm nothing like you."
Jessica laughed, "Of course, God is fair. He can't give you both beauty and a way with words, or I'd have nothing left. I'd cry my eyes out!"
"Jessica, how are you so good at saying the right things?"
"Alright, stop crying. Weren't you supposed to comfort me? How did it turn into me comforting you?" Jessica asked.
"Oh, right!"
Grace quickly got up, wiped away her tears, and returned to her seat.
Actually, she was smart. In this way, Jessica's mood quickly shifted away from the "divorce issue."
"Let's not talk about it. Let's eat and enjoy ourselves. After we finish, the sun will be setting, and I'll take you to the beach," Grace suggested.
"Aren't you filming today?" Jessica asked.
"No, the crew has some issues, so we have two days off. Everyone's taking a break."
Hearing this, Jessica was so moved she couldn't speak.
Jessica's eyes almost immediately welled up with tears.
But with the thick mist from the hotpot covering them, Grace didn't notice.
Jessica reached out and gently wiped the corners of her eyes. Actually, Grace was the smarter one between the two of them. She was very clever and likable even as a child.
Jessica knew there were no such coincidences in the world.
Grace must have taken two days off just to be with her. Once she left, Grace would have to work twice as hard to make up for the missed work.
Hot pot was perfect for chatting.
Later, the two talked a lot, but Grace tried to avoid touching on Jessica's painful memories.
After finishing the hot pot, they headed to the beach.
Grace had prepared a convertible sports car. She drove while Jessica sat in the passenger seat.
The sun had already started to set, casting a large swath of orange-red light across the sky. The sunset was truly beautiful.
Tall palm trees lined both sides of the road, and the sea breeze felt cool and comfortable, driving away the summer heat.
After about half an hour, they arrived at the beach.
There were quite a few people at the beach, which made Jessica a bit worried.
"Grace, won't you be recognized like this? Do you have sunglasses?"
Grace brushed her hair aside, stating, "It's fine. I purposely dressed plainly to blend in. It should be okay."
But recalling the last time they were recognized at the mall, Jessica was still worried.
She took out sunglasses and put them on Grace. "It's safer this way."
They arrived at the perfect time.
The sun had just set, so it wasn't too hot anymore. The sea breeze felt incredibly comfortable and relaxing.
Neither of them could swim, so they didn't dare go too deep into the water. They just took off their shoes and walked along the shore.
A breeze blew, and the waves gently lapped at their ankles. The sand beneath their feet was soft and fine, even more comfortable than cotton.
After walking for a while, they started taking pictures before it got dark.
Even though they both believed their photography skills were lacking, their beauty made every picture stunning.
"Jessica, come here. Let's take a selfie," said Grace.
"Okay."
They both smiled, capturing the most beautiful moment together.
Grace took a particularly good candid shot, capturing their most beautiful moment.
"This is amazing, so beautiful. I'm going to post it on social media," Grace said.
Jessica reminded her, "Don't let Gabriel see it."
"Why? I want him to see that our Jessica is living just as well without him, just as carefree and happy."
"I just want a couple of days of peace without thinking about him," Jessica said calmly.
"Alright, then we won't let him see it. We'll block him."
With that, Grace posted it on social media.
Meanwhile, Quentin saw the new notification on social media and immediately opened his phone.
Since noon, Gabriel had been making him drink for five hours.
Gabriel drank, and he and Loren kept him company.
At first, Gabriel just drank in silence, refusing to say why. Later, probably because he got drunk, he finally spoke up, "We got divorced."
"Divorced?" Quentin and Loren asked almost in unison.
"Yeah, we got the divorce papers stamped yesterday."
After saying that, Gabriel buried his head and started drinking again. Halfway through, he slumped over the table, looking dejected. "We just got divorced, and she couldn't wait to move out. And today, she flew to Seabrook Valley.
"The worst part is, I don't know where she went or what she's doing there."
The more Gabriel talked, the worse he felt.
Loren held a wine glass, his long fingers gently swirling it. He tilted his head back and swallowed the red liquid. "You can't find her with your abilities?"
Nowadays, everyone needed to take a car to go travel, right? And they would have to stay in a hotel, right? As long as there was a payment record, with Gabriel's abilities, he could find her quickly.
However, except for the plane ticket Jessica had used her ID for, everything else was arranged by Grace. She really didn't have any expenses.
"Except for the plane ticket, I can't find anything," Gabriel said.
"What about the hotel? No check-in records either?"
Gabriel shook his head. "Nothing."
Meanwhile, Quentin was scrolling through social media. When he saw the selfie of Grace and Jessica together, his eyes widened in disbelief.
Worried he might be mistaken, Quentin looked at it several times before excitedly saying, "I think I know where she is!"
"What did you say? Where is she?" Gabriel rushed over immediately, filled with excitement.
