Chapter 78
Jeremiah walked up to her, ruffled her hair, “You look so down in the dumps.”
“Also not feeling down.” Paulette looked up, chin resting on the pillow, looking up at him, “It’s just that suddenly an uncle popped up and wants to see me, I’m not sure how to face it.”
“Suddenly?”
“Um.”
It was really sudden.
“He is my mom’s younger brother, but they moved abroad when I was very young, so I didn’t see him much.”
Paulette pouted and with a rare look of confusion in her eyes, “He said Mom left me an inheritance.”
Jeremiah looked at the delicate and small face in front of him, with deep eyes, and whispered after a while, “Nervous?”
”
Paulette’s eyes widened suddenly, “How did you know?”
The man couldn’t help but chuckle, “Ms. Davenport, your emotions are written all over your face, it’s hard not to see.”
“Where did that come from…”
She clearly hid it well.

Paulette didn’t realize it herself, but now her tone is full of a cute and sweet vibe, which is completely different from when she talks to others.
“I just didn’t know…if he really wanted to leave me an inheritance, or if he had some other motive.”
I have no memory of this person at all, Paulette didn’t want anything to happen again, tarnishing that small bond of blood relation.
Jeremiah gently took her little hand and placed it in his palm, saying, “No matter what he’s up to, since he’s here, let’s show some respect to our elders, and if all else fails, I’ve got your back.”
His voice was neither fast nor slow, with a unique lazy and deep tone.
Paulette suddenly calmed down, as if all the tension had disappeared.
“Okay, just wait for him to contact you, okay?”
“Okay.”
“Let’s go, let’s eat first.”
Jeremiah’s tone rose at the end of his words, pulling people up from the couch, “Look what Larissa cooked.”
He acted like he didn’t notice anything, just casually taking Paulette to the
restaurant.
One in front, one behind, just half a step apart.
Paulette looked down her arm and saw the man’s bony fingers, holding hands with her, even feeling each other’s warmth.
Her cheeks were getting redder and redder.
She thought, I guess I’m almost cooked shrimp.

Jeremiah turned around and saw the girl behind him, her head almost touching the ground, with pink skin showing on both sides of her cheeks.
