Chapter 50 Perfect Voice
When Anna left, Jessica finally sighed in relief. And she felt the air was fresher.
Louis walked straight to the parking lot.
Jessica was following him at his back and it was a bit cool at night.
She couldn't help recalling what Terry told her tonight.
Jeremy was back.
But, it meant nothing to her.
Though she could see him, she could only see him from afar and smiled at him.
Or, what else could she do?
"Jessica Wilson!"
She was zoned out.
Louis had shouted out her name three times.
"Did you leave your brain at home? How could you be out of your wits when you are walking? The meal just cost you a thousand dollars."
He said in a disdainful tone and Jessica found his words irritating to the ear.
She got into his car and pouted her lips, "a thousand dollars! For me such a poor girl, that's a lot to me and I can use it for a few months."
He was silent and then started the engine.
He drove the car slowly...
His phone rang again.
"Master..." Keith almost cried when he was talking on the phone, "Thank goodness, Matthew back home!"
Louis's gloomy and dark eyes suddenly turned brighter but his eyebrows tightly furrowed and he pursed his lips, "lock him and his dog and never let them get out in 24 hours!" "Master... Bella is living in a cage..." Keith said in a trembling voice.
"So what? We can't just spoil him and let him be that capricious."
"... Yes, mater. I will tell Mrs. Carter..." Keith said yes cautiously.
Louis hanged up the phone without hesitation.
His voice was super cold and Jessica couldn't help trembling.
She thought in mind, "Who is he going to lock? How could that asshole be so cruel to let him to be locked with a dog?"
He was so inhuman.
She'd better get away from him.
Her lips were trembling, "Mr. Carter... it's dark at night. Are you still looking for that person?"
Actually she was saying could he just let her go...
Louis peeked at her and seemed that he had seen through her mind. He frowned subconsciously, "You can't wait to get away from me, right?" She shook her head and told him the lie, "No, I am just worried about you. Because your leg isn't totally recovered..."
Then she peeked at his slightly stiff leg and thought that his leg might be made by iron.
He could still drive the car!
Louis shrugged and he didn't care about that, "I can't die from it."
Jessica left speechless and she thought he was just a trouble to her.
The Fire Night Karaoke.
Jessica didn't expect that Louis would take her to a Karaoke but not to look for the person he had been looking for today. And they were in the Fire Night Karaoke. And she knew that there was something related to the Fire Night Club.
When they walked into the VIP box, Jessica heard someone was wailing like ghosts and howling like wolves. Harry got closer to Jessica and said, "hey, Jessica! You are here! I miss you so much!"
...
Then, he was about to kiss Jessica.
But Louis stopped him by pushing his face away from Jessica when he was about to kiss her on her cheek.
"Harry, she is not the woman you can touch."
Jessica's heart pounded so fast when she heard Louis's words.
"What do you mean?" Harry gave a gloomy look at Louis and chimed, "Let me tell you, Louis, I won't stop pursuing Jessica!"
Then he pulled Jessica into his arms and put his arms around her shoulders and sat in the sofa.
Jessica now saw clearly that in the huge VIP box with neon lights, Raymond Graham and a few other girls were sitting in the sofa as well. She was shocked.
And the one who was enjoying singing and wailing like ghosts and howling like wolves was the superstar Antony.
Oh Jesus!
Antony was an actor but not a singer for sure.
His voice was so intolerable to the ear...
Oh, lots of his fans must be heartbroken.
"Jessica, come, let's drink some wine..." Harry smiled at her and gave her a glass of wine.
Jessica looked up and she saw Louis was walking to the bar and sat down then began to drink wine alone.
He seemed to be fond of being alone.
Even though he was in the noisy Karaoke, he could still find himself the peace.
"Jessica, we see each other again." Raymond smiled innocently and said in gentle voice.
Jessica was nervous and smiled back at him in embarrassment.
She finally knew the "fiancée" he kept mentioning at that time.
And now she could really understand why Raymond looked at her with hostility.
"Raymond, you can't call Jessica like me! That my special right!" Harry peeked at Raymond unhappily. And then his arms placed around Jessica's shoulder.
Raymond glanced at Louis who was drinking alone at the bar, and he twitched his lips, "Harry, didn't you hear that you can't touch her."
"Do I need to obey what he said? I won't. I don't think he will hurt me or something." Harry wasn't reconciled. Then he hugged Jessica into his arms and said, "Jessica, come to my home tonight..." Jessica was shocked and she looked up at Harry and blurted out, "Are you marrying me?"
Harry was surprised.
Raymond was shocked for a second then burst into laughter.
Louis who was holding the wineglass turned back and peeked at Harry disdainfully but he didn't say anything.
Jessica was super serious. But actually she didn't want Harry marry her but she wanted want Harry to give up on her in this way.
And she wanted to tell him that she was not that easy.
Men like them must be fear of marrying a girl.
Or Louis wouldn't try hard to get rid of Joyce.
Antony finished his song.
He turned around after enjoying singing and then he saw Jessica then his eyes were brighter.
He rushed to them and sat between Harry and Jessica.
Harry shouted at Johnny Carter, "Johnny, first come, first served!"
Johnny ignored him and smiled brightly at Jessica, "Jessica, I didn't expect that my brother will take you here. You seem so charming."
After finished his words, he peeked at Louis.
But he saw that Louis was looking at him coldly.
Jessica twitched her lips awkwardly. "You are right, 'charming'."
"Jessica, you are funny!" Johnny burst into laughter.
Louis peeked at Jessica, Johnny and Harry who was sitting in the sofa with Jessica who was ogled by them in the middle.
There was a trace of displeasure on his eyebrows.
And he thought in mind that why such a woman had that competence to attract men and how could she make Harry, Jonny and Raymond scramble for her? "Why are you laughing?" Harry wasn't happy and he pouted his lips. He passed over Johnny and dragged Jessica out, "Jessica, let's go and sing a song." Then Jessica was dragged by Harry to the Jukebox.
And he gave her a glass of fragrant wine, "Jessica, which song do you want to sing?"
Jessica took the wineglass and when her lips touched the cool wine, she drank it without hesitation.
The wine went inside her body and she felt a sense of deep sorrow.
"One more glass of wine." She asked Harry to give her one more glass of wine.
Harry grinned and poured the glass full of wine. "Ha-ha, Jessica, then wine is nice, right? Let me tell you, it's my collection..."
Jessica nodded her head and buttoned up again.
She gazed at the huge screen in front and she said to Harry, "Harry, choose the song 'the Pale Moonlight' for me."
"The Pale Moonlight?" Harry was a bit confused and he didn't know this song but he replied, "Sure!"
Then came the melody of the song The Pale Moonlight...
Jessica picked up the microphone and began to sing with the lyrics showing up.
"Misty moon in the still of night; Quietly shed your pale blue light; Promise me not a word to speak; of the sins in my heart I keep..."
"Hide the tears, shamelessly they flow..."
The songs started soft and melancholy with her sad voice...
That was moving.
She was sobbing.
When she sang to the end, she couldn't help pouring the wine into her mouth.
"Somewhere deep inside my reverie; hear a voice that calls out to me; Like a long forgotten lullaby; Is this a dream...within a dream..." "Misty moon in the still of night; Quietly shed your pale blue light; Promise me not a word to speak; Of the sins in my heart I keep..." Finally, the song ended.
Everyone lapsed in silence all of a sudden.
It was so quiet that it seemed to be only her who was singing sorrowfully.
There was no doubt that everyone on the scene was s surprised after hearing her voice.
And no one could expect that Jessica would have such a perfect voice.
It was silent in a few seconds and someone broke the silence.
"Jessica, who is your pale moonlight?"
"Who is my pale moonlight?" Jessica thought in mind.
Her fingers were trembling and she moved her eyes from the screen and looked at Harry...
"Hey, Jessica... you are crying."
Jessica was in a daze.
She wiped her face and found that there were tears on her cheek.
The song made her tears pour down.
Jessica hid her hurry and confusion immediately and shook her head with a smile, "the song is just so touching..."
Louis who was sitting at the bar was shocked as well. His heart ached when he saw Jessica's eyes were welled up with tears.
He might want to know who the pale moonlight for her and made so sentimental.
"That's amazing!" Johnny couldn't help complimenting Jessica's voice and he chimed, "Jessica, do you want to be a singer? I will recommend you!"
Jessica wiped her tears on her face and she was a bit nervous.
She rarely made such a scene.
It might because the words that Terry told her that Jeremy was back and she recalled lots of memory in the pass...
She recalled the memory that she grew up with the Wilsons and she was bullied and humiliated by them. What's worse, she couldn't resist because her mom told her not to. Jessica had been always putting up with them and hiding her sadness in her heart deeply.
She had to bear the sufferings herself...
Jeremy was like a warm and bright moonlight which lightened her dark and gloomy life during her puberty.
But when she looked back, the moonlight was gone...0000
