“Paulette.”
“– Go!”
11 2010
As soon as the words were spoken, both of them were stunned.
Then they smiled at each other.
Paulette bit her lip, her crimson cheeks standing out in the light. She muttered, “Why suddenly ask me to do it? Just tell me when you’re free.”
Jeremiah was sitting lazily, with his fingers resting casually on his legs, playing with his phone in the palm of his hand.
He didn’t say anything, just looked at the girl across with a deep smile in his eyes.
Quite a while!
A sigh escaped from the lips.
He stood up.
Paulette was always on the lookout for her reactions. When she sensed something was up, she raised her hand defensively and said, “What are you doing!”
Jeremiah couldn’t help but laugh, he reached out and pulled her hand down from his chest, holding it in his palm, patiently saying, “What’s wrong, let’s talk.”

“Um,” Jeremiah’s voice was gentle, with his unique touch of nonchalance and laziness, “Let’s talk about me too, I think there’s a misunderstanding between us.”
Paulette’s eyes flickered and she murmured softly, “There’s no misunderstanding…”
“Some did.”
The man’s voice was firm, like a warm water pouring into the heart, “Yesterday I said I was troubled by love, I was thinking about how to make our relationship different, I was thinking about you.”
Paulette suddenly looked up, met those dark pupils, and then quickly looked down again.
“I…I didn’t misunderstand.”
In fact, she did misunderstand.
But in front of this man, it’s definitely not good to say such things directly, otherwise she would lose face.
Jeremiah didn’t dwell on the issue, but said seriously, “But I want to explain to you, I don’t want you to be upset by what I say, you know what I mean?”
Seems like I got it.
But I didn’t really understand.
