After saying that, he casually put his hand in his pocket and swaggered
away.
Cecilia was stunned by this.
“No, what kind of sister are you?”
That was amazing.
Paulette shrugged, indicating she couldn’t do anything about it.
Last time I saw her, Tabitha only said a couple of words. I thought she was just a bit rebellious, never imagined her sister would be like this.
She was only eighteen, and it didn’t look like she was studying properly.
Didn’t Reuben and them care?
Paulette was quietly eating her meal, lost in thought.
Back at the office, she decided to find Reuben’s WhatsApp and sent him a
message.
“Uncle, how are things going on your end?”
After sending the message, I stared at my phone for a long time. There was no reply from the other side. Instead, I received a call from Jeremiah. at the end of the workday, “Can I go home now?”
Paulette was just shutting down her computer, with a smile on her face, “Of course, but I haven’t left the office yet, so it’ll be a while before I get home.”

Jeremiah chuckled, “Ms. Davenport, is it possible that I was just downstairs in your company?”
“Did he come?”
”
Paulette had a meal, then dashed downstairs with a joyful expression.
The underground parking lot lights weren’t very bright. She got out of the elevator and saw the cars parked neatly on both sides. She looked around. for Jeremiah’s car, but didn’t even realize her own anticipation.
I looked around but didn’t see anyone. Paulette kept walking while asking quietly, “Where are you?”
There was a moment of silence on the phone, and I could still hear faint. footsteps.
It’s hers.
“Paulette.”
The man’s voice was low and charming. “Turn around, I’m behind you.”
Paulette stopped in her tracks, hearing her heart beating louder and louder like the birds chirping in the arrival of spring, echoing through the blooming mountain meadows into her ears.
She took two shallow breaths and turned around.
The lights were too bright.
The man lazily leaned against the front of the car, his silhouette outlined by warm yellow light, even his hair was superior, swaying freely in curves on his forehead.

Paulette raised her lips and quickened her pace to walk over.
She stopped when she saw the man’s face becoming clearer in the backlight.

“Why did you suddenly come?”
“I thought about it, and then I just did it.”
Jeremiah looked at her gently, took two steps forward, and stopped in front of her. “Ms. Davenport, are you planning to keep talking to me like this?”
Noticing her gaze, Paulette realized that the phone was still on, and she was still holding it to her ear.
I was a bit slow.
She bit her lip apologetically and said softly, “You were still holding it,
too.”
Jeremiah said, “Well, my bad.”
Paulette didn’t know where to look, she said, “Let’s go, let’s go home.”
The two of them got into the car from different directions, and Jeremiah. casually asked as he started the engine, “Wanna go eat fondue for lunch?”
Paulette turned back in surprise, “How did you know?”
“You smell like fondue,”
“Did you have it?”
She rolled up her sleeves and sniffed hard twice, but didn’t smell
anything, so she just gave up.
“I didn’t want to go in the first place, but our team leader insisted on calling me, can’t refuse such kindness…” Talking about this, Paulette remembered Tabitha again, couldn’t help but sigh deeply.
Jeremiah raised an eyebrow, turned to look at her, and said, “Isn’t eating fondue supposed to be fun? Why are you sighing?”
“I met Tabitha, my cousin.”
Paulette leaned back and summed up the situation in a few words.
“Technically, Reuben and Tabitha should have a good relationship since they only have one child. But looking at the current situation… it seems like no one can control anyone.”
Of course, that’s putting it mildly.
To be blunt…
The daughter didn’t act like a daughter, the stepfather didn’t act like a stepfather.
Jeremiah’s dark eyes stared straight ahead, his tone flat. “Unknown. territory, no comment. As a newly recognized sister. I suggest not getting too involved.”
“Um.”
Paulette nodded, “I thought so too.”
She suddenly blurted out without thinking, “Blood is thicker than water, Jeremiah, we have such great chemistry!”
After they finished speaking, both of them were stunned. Paulette’s face quickly turned pink, she looked away and said, “Um… what I mean is that

this shows we share the same values. Um, Reuben is probably going to call me, so I’ll go upstairs first!”
The sound of footsteps echoed, she ran upstairs all the way.
Jeremiah kept watching as she walked away, a noticeable smile on his face.
