Chapter 98
Just go back to sleep.
Maybe things will be better after a good night’s sleep.
…that’s true.
Paulette had a scary dream where she dreamt she was caught by Jeremiah while looking for a male escort, and ended up being dragged back home without any dignity.
Woke up drenched in sweat, she stood still for over ten minutes before stumbling out of bed and finding her phone on the couch.
At eight in the morning.
Paulette was just about to relax when she caught sight of the man’s coat
next to her.
“Oh no…oh no oh no!”
She had been holding her breath since just now, and had to face the miserable fact… It wasn’t a dream at all! The thing about being dragged by Jessica to find a male escort yesterday was caught red–handed by Jeremiah!
Paulette was so upset that she wanted to cry but couldn’t, so she just covered her face with her hands in frustration.
She racked her brain a thousand times, but couldn’t come up with a good
excuse.
“Let it be, just die!”

Finally, Paulette gritted her teeth and decided to take a shower first.

The ship will turn at the bridge, the soldiers will block the way, the water will cover the earth, worst case scenario… worst case scenario is that Jeremiah won’t marry her. She thought about these things gloomily, took a long time to shower and dawdled before going downstairs.
The living room was quiet, and you could faintly hear Larissa humming in the kitchen.
Looks like he hadn’t gotten up yet.
Paulette sighed and stepped aside.
The relaxed mood didn’t last long, and she soon saw the man with his back turned in the restaurant.
Her eyes froze, and Paulette’s mind immediately flashed a hundred ways to deal with it, even wondering if she should turn around and leave. But you can’t hide forever, so she eventually gritted her teeth and walked over.
“Hi.”
She laughed dryly, “Morning.”
Jeremiah just grunted and didn’t even look up.
“What’s going on?”
Paulette couldn’t figure it out, so she pulled up a chair and sat down.
She was twenty–one, and for the first time, she felt what it meant to feel like time was dragging on forever. Even though Jeremiah didn’t say anything, he looked down at the stock information on his phone, but his presence was hard to ignore, relaxed yet sharp.
After a while, finally another voice joined in.
