Chapter49
Romantic, huh?
But, Jeremiah has indeed been abroad.
Paulette’s cheeks were getting hotter and hotter, she put her hands on her face and let out a long sigh.
Let’s not think about these complicated issues. Jeremiah has always had business in the country and it’s normal for her to come back from time to time to deal with work problems. She shouldn’t be so self–centered, always trying to make everything about herself.
Just as I convinced myself, I heard the sound of the door opening.
The man walked in with a tall figure, as if he was still carrying the cold
air from outside.
“Haven’t rested yet?”
Paulette suddenly felt nervous and said, “I just got back a little while ago.”
Jeremiah raised an eyebrow, changed his shoes, and went in.
He always felt that Paulette was different tonight, but couldn’t pinpoint exactly what was different.
Paulette felt creeped out by his gaze, so she quickly stood up and said, “Um…it’s really late, I should go freshen up first. You do your thing!”
Just took a few steps out, and someone grabbed my neck from behind.

Jeremiah pulled her close and asked, “Do you have something to tell me?”
Paulette fell silent.
Bryson was right, man, can this guy tell fortunes or what?
Paulette stared for a moment, then sighed, “I heard something at the tea party today, of course… just hearsay, so I’m a bit curious.”
She pinched two fingers and gestured, then whispered, “Weren’t you in Hotruesia a few years ago? How come they say they occasionally see you here?”
Jeremiah froze, his dark eyes growing even deeper in the shadow of his hair.
After a while, he sighed and said in a low, hoarse voice as if talking to himself, “Actually, there’s nothing to hide from you.”
Paulette looked up and said, “What?”
“I’ve been worried about you since I went abroad, so I would secretly come back to see you twice a year,” Jeremiah chuckled, and no one knew what his smile meant behind it. “I always feel like Nelson has bad intentions towards you, and sometimes your mind doesn’t work well, so I always have to pay more attention for you.”
A low, gentle voice was right above my head.
Paulette felt like she was frozen, couldn’t move at all.
She really didn’t expect that, it turned out to be true.
Jeremiah was really into her.
But…Nelson had bad intentions towards her?

Did I say it wrong?
Wasn’t she always up to no good with Nelson before?

Paulette pursed her lips, feeling like she had to explain a bit, “There was nothing between me and Nelson… I did have a crush on him before, but I’ve moved on now and he has his own girlfriend. I made it clear to him.”
Jeremiah stared at the face inches away, his throat swallowing, his heart pounding uncontrollably.
She actually took the initiative to explain her relationship with Nelson.
Does this mean…
Is she really going to start accepting this relationship?
Jeremiah didn’t even dare to think about this result, let alone ask more.
I was afraid she might say something.
I was afraid she wouldn’t say anything.
He breathed heavily and just said, “Okay.”
Paulette went back to her room and closed the door, her heart still pounding.
She leaned against the door, raised her hands to cover her face… The temperature was surprisingly high, a feeling she had never experienced before when she was with Nelson.
She took a deep breath after a while, then pretended nothing happened and went to wash up.
I thought opening up would make me feel better, but that night, Paulette unexpectedly had trouble sleeping.

The next day, Jeremiah woke up with panda eyes, which surprised him.
“Didn’t sleep well?”
“Um…”
She nodded listlessly, then turned and sat back on the sofa, “You go busy with your work, I don’t feel like having breakfast, I’ll just go back to bed.
Jeremiah frowned and said, “I’ll put it in the microwave for you when I’m done. You can heat it up later when you wake up. Skipping breakfast is not healthy.”
Paulette drooped her eyelids and mumbled an okay.
Twenty minutes, Jeremiah finished making breakfast.
I came out and saw the girl on the sofa already asleep, her head resting on her arm, the flesh on one side of her cheek squeezed into a round curve.
He gave a smile, grabbed a thick blanket for Paulette, put on his coat, and went to the company.
Paulette slept in until 11 o’clock this morning, feeling much better. She went to the kitchen and found a sandwich in the microwave, all neatly arranged, with a glass of milk next to it.
She dinged for two minutes, walked to the dining table while eating, sat down, and opened WhatsApp to reply to unread messages.
