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…..”

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!”

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.”
