Chapter 86
“Stop talking, please send me her current address.”
Hung up the phone, Nelson’s chest was heaving.
Maxine’s words just now are still swirling in my mind.
“Let her live her own life.”
What is one’s own life? He just wants this girl to live a simpler life, take fewer detours, and not be easily deceived by people outside…
He did it all for her!
Even if…
Even if we really dated, got married, and had children.
That should have been the case.
Nelson leaned back in his chair, closed his eyes, and his Adam’s apple
bobbed.
The thought of that possibility made him feel like his heart was being squeezed by a giant hand, almost unable to breathe.
But he quickly chalked it up to a stepfather complex, how could a girl he raised by hand be easily taken away by someone else? Ha… Paulette, you’re really spreading your wings!
So what if he left? He could still bring her back!
Half an hour later, Nelson drove to the airport.

Derrick brought over my ID and luggage.
“Mr. Chapman, do you want me to go with you?”
Nelson glanced at him, “The company doesn’t want you anymore?”
Derrick: “…
He talks like he owns the company.
The boss didn’t want it anymore, so he dumped all the problems on his assistant? That’s really unfair for such a low salary.
Nelson took the suitcase from his hand, expressionless, and said, “You’ll attend the two meetings the day after tomorrow for me, and also handle the socializing with Mr. Delgado. Do a good job, the pay will be almost triple this month.”
Derrick’s eyes lit up, instantly perked up.
“Mr. Chapman, don’t worry, I guarantee the task will be completed!”
Nelson glanced at him emotionlessly and then turned to walk towards the security check.

After seeing Reuben, Paulette didn’t have much to do, so she went back home and saw Larissa trimming the dead branches in the garden. She changed her clothes and went out to help.
The two of them were busy all afternoon, and finally the messy and desolate courtyard looked a bit better.
“I went to the flower and bird market to buy some easy–to–care–for green plants to plant. Our renovation plan is considered complete!”

Larissa didn’t have many hobbies, she just liked messing around with these.

Paulette looked like she was in a good mood, so I couldn’t help but smile too. “Okay, remember to call me when you go, I can help you carry things.”
“No problem!” Larissa replied.
At that moment, a man’s deep and pleasant voice came from the hallway, asking, “Where are you going?”
Paulette’s smile visibly disappeared, “How… are you at home?”
How to say.
Jeremiah felt his emotions instantly become complicated.
He was at home the whole time, watching them tidy up the garden upstairs for a long time. But they seemed to be having a great time chatting, and I didn’t know how to join in.
So he had to stay in the study, pretending to be very busy on the surface, but actually waiting for an invitation.
Turns out, now I know, these two people had no idea where he was.
Larissa felt the atmosphere was a bit awkward, so she quickly stepped in and said with a smile, “Hey, Jeremiah, why are you so quiet at home? We all thought you had gone out. I was just about to call and ask if you were coming back for dinner.”
Jeremiah licked his lips lazily and made a sound of agreement.
“I had a lot of work, so I was in the study all the time.”
He shifted his gaze to Paulette and asked casually, “Where were you guys

“Yeah, the flower and bird market.” Paulette always felt his eyes were a bit melancholic, but there was no evidence. Politely, she asked, “If you’re free, do you want to go together?”
Jeremiah nodded, “I’m free.”
”
She hasn’t said when yet.
Larissa took one look at the scene, laughed with her eyes squinting, and nudged Paulette, saying, “You guys chat away, set the time, I’m fine with anything, I’ll go cook now.”
…
”
Once Larissa left, there were only Paulette and Jeremiah left.
She stood at the entrance.
Jeremiah was standing on the stairs.
Paulette rubbed her neck uneasily and suggested, “How about… you come down and talk?” He stood so tall, always having to tilt his head back
when speaking, very tiring.
Jeremiah’s eyes twinkled with a hint of a smile as he stepped down the stairs with his head lowered.
Sitting on the living room sofa, Paulette felt like something was off.
She was vaguely annoyed, Jeremiah has a crush on someone, shouldn’t it be more relaxed and less burdened to get along? Why do I feel at a loss?
