Chapter99
Jeremiah stared at Paulette for a few seconds, from her chin, lips, nose, and finally fixed on her eyes, as if carefully discerning the truth in her words.
Paulette met his gaze, getting more and more nervous.
Actually, she didn’t know why she felt so guilty.
He just drank, didn’t do anything else.
But that male escort… seemed to call her sweetheart.
She didn’t know if Jeremiah heard, let alone if he would misunderstand.
From the perspective of being honest and lenient, it should be able to offset some of the past…
Larissa, sensing something was off, quietly placed the small dish in her hand on the table, then tiptoed out and closed the door behind her.
In a not too big, not too small space, there were suddenly only Paulette and Jeremiah left.
No one said a word, the atmosphere was tense.
Paulette couldn’t take it anymore, whispered, “Can you say something?”
Jeremiah stared at her with his dark eyes, “What did you say?”
Her voice got quieter, “So what’s the difference between this and giving me the silent treatment? I admit I was wrong, so now I’m actively apologizing to you…..”

Jeremiah almost burst out laughing.
Emotional abuse?

She could really talk, in just a few words she labeled him as a criminal.
He sighed and raised his hand to touch his forehead, asking, “Who suggested this?”
Paulette was stunned, then realized he was talking about finding a male escort, and immediately said, “Jessica! It’s all her, she insisted on taking out for drinks, and even insisted on getting me a male escort. If I refused, she would end our friendship… Jeremiah, I am really innocent!”
me
Paulette thought, Anyway, Jessica and Jeremiah don’t have any connection, and they’re not close. Jeremiah can’t really blame her, right?
Just blame everything on Jessica and get through the crisis for now.
Jeremiah held his fist against his mouth, blocking the curve of his lips.
For a while, he said in a low voice, “So it’s not your fault?”
“Uh–huh!” Paulette nodded vigorously.
“Since it’s all your friend’s fault, I think you should seriously consider your relationship with her, so she won’t lead you to do even more outrageous things in the future.”
Paulette blinked, “Are you asking me to end my friendship with Jessica?”
“Suggestion.”
“I didn’t take your advice.”

He lazily leaned back, his deep gaze fixed on Paulette, “Ms. Davenport is quite loyal, huh.”
Paulette: “.
It’s not like that.
But in her opinion, what happened last night wasn’t a big deal, selling out a friend is no big deal.
If Jeremiah uses this as an excuse, he’ll interfere with her making friends…
That’s not okay.
What’s the difference between that and Nelson?
Paulette pursed her lips, then said, “If you think…”
“What do you think?”
As soon as she spoke, Jeremiah’s face changed.
He just wanted to tease her at first, but now he’s really a bit angry, angry at her, and also angry at himself.
“Paulette, I hope you can take our relationship seriously, just like I take you seriously, every decision and every word is carefully considered.”
Paulette stared at him blankly, not sure how to respond.
Jeremiah’s eyes were deep and he spoke with a serious tone.
After a while, still didn’t hear anything, so I gritted my teeth and continued, “Do you know what it feels like to hear another man call you

Did that male escort really do that?
Paulette hesitated for a moment, feeling so nervous that she swallowed hard.
“You did great!”
Four words burst out from between his lips, Jeremiah getting angrier as he spoke, raising his hand to pull the already loose collar even wider, “Paulette, don’t let me catch you again!”
Paulette was feeling guilty after all, no matter how loud Jeremiah’s voice was at the moment, she couldn’t come up with any rebuttal.
Just a moment
She was so curious, couldn’t help but ask, “What would you do if you caught it again?”
Jeremiah’s eyelid twitched, sneering, “Legs, broken.”
Paulette: ”
***
Having narrowly escaped this morning, Paulette only realized when she got to the office that she and Jeremiah are not married yet, so why was she so afraid of what he might do?
Did you end up getting married after that?
She looked weird, and secretly straightened her back a bit.
