Chapter124
Maybe Jeremiah’s gaze was too intense, Paulette finally noticed something and glanced sideways at him.
“Is it good–looking?”
“It looks good.”
She, and the manuscript.
They all look good.
Paulette laughed, her eyes sparkling. “Look at this, inspired by your eyes, like the universe, deep, mysterious, beautiful… Isn’t it gorgeous? I’m planning to make a series, all in couple styles.”
Jeremiah asked, “Should we make it a couple’s style and personally design the pattern?”
Paulette hesitated for a moment and said, “Okay.”
Okay.
It’s the most romantic thing in the world.
Jeremiah’s dark eyes were shining in the light, full of tenderness. He reached out and gently touched Paulette’s head, “So, Ms. Davenport, can you spare me two minutes?”
Paulette suddenly remembered, He seemed to have been waiting here for a long time.
I have something to say.
“I’m sorry, I’m sorry…”
She couldn’t help but laugh, put down the papers and pen, raised her hands, “Now listen carefully to Mr. Swanson, I have decisively abandoned work!”
Jeremiah chuckled, “I’m going on a business trip for two days. Larissa will be back tomorrow morning. Call me anytime if you need anything.”
“Alright Mr. Swanson, I promise to follow orders!”
Paulette was full of energy and leaned forward after agreeing, “Where are you going on a business trip?”
Jeremiah’s eyes darkened for a moment, “Fromond.”
The moment Paulette heard the name ‘Fromond‘, it was like a switch that e name ‘Fromond‘, it was like a switch that turned off her emotions. She sat up straight, picked up the design draft casually, and said, “Sure, I’ll come pick
you up when you get back.”
“Is that all?”
“Yeah, that’s it.”
Her feelings towards that city were just too complicated, so complicated that just thinking about it made her feel nostalgic and sad.
Jeremiah stared at her deeply for a few seconds, then sighed and said, “Okay, I’ll try to come back early.”
As he said, Larissa got back to the villa early the next day, brought back a lot of local specialties from the countryside, and laid them out in the living room. She introduced them to Paulette one by one when she woke
- up.
“This is a top–quality supplement, it can invigorate the qi, nourish the blood, tonify the spleen, and moisten the lungs. The effect is really good,

you can’t even buy it if you want to!”
“Oh, and this too…”
“This fruit, I heard it was imported from abroad, only planted a couple of them, Paula, you wait and taste it later, very sweet!”
Other than that, there were all kinds of vegetables, Paulette looked at them, most of which she recognized.
Her gaze suddenly landed on the black cloth bag next to her, and she curiously leaned in.
“Larissa, what’s this?”
“Don’t move!”
Larissa grabbed the black bag and put it behind her, saying, “This, this is the herbal medicine I made for myself, don’t mix it up with those
vegetables.”
“Oh, I see…”
Paulette nodded knowingly, but couldn’t help noticing that Larissa’s expression seemed a bit strange.
Is it really herbs?
Larissa looked at her with a half–believing, half–suspicious look, chuckled twice and said, “Paula, go have breakfast quickly, it’ll get cold soon. You don’t need to worry about me, I’ll take the dishes to the kitchen and put them in the fridge.”
Although Paulette was curious, Larissa didn’t want to show her, and she didn’t want to force it.
I went to the restaurant for breakfast all by myself.

Chapter124
Jeremiah’s call came before I finished eating.
“Having dinner?”
A deep, pleasing voice came through the receiver, almost like a jolt of electricity. Paulette’s heart skipped a beat as she murmured, “Have you arrived at the airport?”
“Um.”
Jeremiah said, “I was on the plane.”
After finishing her sandwich, Paulette absentmindedly poked at the salad in her bowl with a fork and said, “Why don’t you turn off your phone and call me?”
“Why, don’t want to answer my call?”
“No.”
She just didn’t know what to say.
Jeremiah pretended to sigh, “Looks like people are really different. I’ve only been gone for a short while and I already miss you, but you seem to be happy for me to go further away.”
Paulette immediately retorted, “No way.”
“Will you miss me then?”
The words were calm and slow, cach one hitting Paulette’s heart deeply.
“It’s hard to answer? Or are you too shy to answer?” Jeremiah, patient ast ever, continued, “Paula, you need to get used to it slowly. Relationships don’t have to be so serious, whether it’s flirting or joking around, like I’m
“Weren’t you the one who became serious?”
“But first, I am a person, and a man.”
In his low laughter, there was a hint of helplessness, “There are times.
when I want to be serious, and times when I don’t want to be serious, you
know?”
