Matthew tongued his teeth, hugged her and whispered as they walked in the opposite direction, “Do you remember I told you about Nelson’s non- biological stepdaughter who has a crush on him?”
The woman widened her eyes, “Her?”
That man, it wasn’t Nelson.
“Yeah, so you’re saying…Nelson’s stepdaughter, shouldn’t we keep an eye on her?” Matthew thought more and more that this matter was not simple, sighed and said, “That girl shouldn’t be under too much pressure, it would be bad if she hangs out with shady people.”
The woman sneered, “Talking about others as if you guys are so great.”
Matthew saw that things were not going well, so he quickly coaxed, “Hey, isn’t this about the stepdaughter? Why are you dragging us into this? Don’t be mad, don’t be mad…”
On the other side, Paulette didn’t know she was being secretly filmed.
She bought daily necessities and snacks, then went to the fresh produce section with Jeremiah.
Fruits, vegetables, meat.
Jeremiah was nothing like the elite boss in the office, he was more like a serious home cook, easily picking out vegetables and meat.
Paulette’s eyes grew more and more surprised, “You’ve learned so much while you were abroad these past few years?”

“No way.”
The handsome man sighed, “My mom said, if you don’t learn how to cook, you won’t be able to find a wife in the future.”
Paulette: “…”
How should I respond?

Jeremiah put two pieces of snowflake beef in the shopping cart and said casually, “But from the dinner this afternoon, it seems like my future wife really likes the food I cook. The words of the experienced ones do make
sense.”
Paulette felt really embarrassed by what he said, but then she thought to
herself.
He can joke around so easily, why can’t I just stay calm?
The next second, she hummed and said, “Mr. Swanson better step up his game, or else this kind and beautiful wife might run off with someone else.”
Jeremiah raised his eyebrows in surprise, then smiled and replied, “Okay.”
He came out of the mall, carrying two big bags in both hands.
Paulette was supposed to help, but Jeremiah flat out refused.
“If I still need you to do these things when I’m with you, then marriage will be meaningless.”
She couldn’t help but feel nostalgic. In the past, although Nelson was good to her, he never cared about these things. When they went to the supermarket, she was always the one carrying the most.
So, girls can have this kind of preference.

I was home in twenty minutes.

Jeremiah put things in the fridge, Paulette went back to the room to get clothes ready for a shower, and just as she walked in, she received a call from Nelson.
“Where are you now?”
Paulette casually asked, “What’s up?”
The flat tone completely triggered Nelson’s anger, he growled, “Where are you?”
He came back from the hospital in the afternoon, only to find out that Paulette had already gone back to Fromond by herself.
I thought they would come back, so I planned to talk to her when they arrived… But unexpectedly, right after sending Patricia back, I received a photo from Matthew.
God knows, Nelson almost lost his mind at that moment.
He had never heard of any man around Paulette!
So who was that guy?
This girl, just to go against him, really can do anything!
Paulette could feel his roar, but the passion was gone. He turned and sat on the sofa, saying softly, “Nelson, I think you and Ms. Carver are right. I should have my own life now. Thank you for taking care of me so much in the past, but from now on…
“I wanted to take care of myself, I needed to grow up so I could repay your kindness in raising me.”
After saying that, there was a full minute of silence on the other side.

I could only hear the man’s heavy breathing.
Long time no see.

Nelson let out a heavy sigh and hoarsely said, “Paulette, do you think that by saying this, I will just forget about what happened before? You don’t have to apologize to Tricia?”
Paulette pursed her lips and didn’t say anything.
“If you make a mistake, you have to face the consequences. I remember I always taught you that way!”
Nelson didn’t hear her voice, so he just assumed things and said, “And, you can do whatever you want to make a scene, but if you mess around with those men outside, then you better not leave the house! Reflect on your actions and then we’ll talk!”
Paulette heard his yelling and couldn’t help but want to laugh.
Nelson, she didn’t know she had moved out already.
