Chapter 114
Collin drove the car back to the villa, looked up, and saw the future boss’s wife sleeping in the back seat, leaning slightly against the car window.
Her messy hair was tangled around her face, her delicate features flickering in the light of the street lamp, like a visitor from another world.
Collin suddenly looked away, silently thinking about his guilt.
She was going to be the future boss lady!
Looking at it twice is a sin, looking at it again will get you sliced by Mr. Swanson.
Thinking of Jeremiah, Collin immediately took out his phone to say hello to Jeremiah. Checking the time, the plane was about to land.
Paulette didn’t sleep well, she kept waking up every now and then.
“Could you give me a ride and go back to rest early?”
Collin waved his hand repeatedly, “Ms. Davenport, no problem! It’s all on me, but I’m staying over here today. Mr. Swanson asked me to make sure you’re safe.”
Paulette glanced at him, didn’t refuse.
The two of them entered the villa together.
Larissa was dozing off on the sofa, even though she didn’t know what was happening, she was feeling anxious today, like something was going on.
Now that Paulette is back safe and sound, I breathed a sigh of relief and
Chapter114
then went Oh my!
“Paula, what happened? How did it end up like this?”
She rushed to the bathroom and grabbed a towel, “Hurry up and wipe it, look at this… all mud, go roll around!”
Paulette knew Larissa was worried about her, let her play around with her, and said with a smile, “Yeah Larissa, we went to the mountains today to gather together, and we were chased by a dog all the way, accidentally fell into a mud.”
Collin glanced at her and silently gave a thumbs up.
No wonder I got along with Mr. Swanson.
His ability to talk nonsense is completely on par with Mr. Swanson!
Larissa didn’t look at Collin, so she didn’t notice his exaggerated expression and complaining tone, saying, “Your leaders just love to do these useless things, why can’t they do fieldwork elsewhere? They can even do it in the garden! This makes a mess, and there are dogs…”
The chattering voice gradually faded away, leaving only a sigh of heartache in the end.
Paulette’s nose was sore, she comforted, “It’s okay Larissa, the outdoors is great, and the air is nice.”
“It’s good, but it depends on the actual situation, right?”
Larissa gave her a glare, “Go take a hot bath quickly, I’ll make you some ginger soup.”
Maybe it was being back in a familiar environment, with Larissa and Collin by her side
that calmed Paulette down a lot. She didn’t think about anything, just wanted to get a good night’s sleep.
After drinking ginger soup, I went back to my room to sleep.
Unexpectedly, Paulette slept very deeply.
I dreamed of my mother, whom I haven’t seen in a long time.
My mom was a very gentle person, she gave all her warmth and energy to her family. When Paulette first met Reuben, she didn’t quite understand the meaning of ‘uncle‘, so she was a bit mischievous.
Mother kept explaining to her over and over again, “Uncle is Mom’s brother, just like Paula, he is the closest person to Mom in the world. Paula should love Uncle like I do in the future, understand?”
Paulette was confused and didn’t quite understand.
She thought for a moment and asked, “Will Uncle love me like Mom does?”
Mother said, “Of course, Paula is also Uncle’s relative.”
I can’t remember how old I was back then.
Four or five years old.
No matter how old, that year Paulette only remembered family and blood ties, didn’t understand human nature, let alone the fickleness of human hearts.
Suddenly, the sky was painted red by the raging fire, like a demon arriving, opening its mouth wide to devour everything – her father, mother, home.
That’s it.
It’s all gone.

A low sob escaped from the mouth.
Paulette curled up into a ball, as if it could bring her some sense of security.
“Paulette, wake up.”
“Paula…”
“Don’t cry, I’m here, Paula, be good, stop crying…”
Someone pulled her out of the fire and cherished her in their arms.
Paulette groggily opened her eyes, the familiar smell instantly enveloping her. She
blankly lifted her head, the man’s refined jawline illuminated clearly by the moonlight.
She blinked and whispered, “Jeremiah.”
“Um.”
The man seemed to catch his breath, trying to make his voice sound relaxed, “I’m here.”
Paulette rubbed against his chest, not caring about gender differences anymore, her low voice full of dependence, “I think I’ve seen a savior.”
Thank you for being there for me when I needed you the most.
