Chapter 1488
Just like Zavier once said, Jeremy set up a trap in the past, aiming to lead Brennan into his plan. However, things didnât go as planned. Not only did he not get the expected results, but he also got thrown into the slammer.
After Jeremy walked out of the company, Cornelia was speechless for a while.
Jeremy, feeling worried, asked her, âWhy arenât you saying anything? Are you mad because I didnât tell you about this?â
Cornelia looked up at him, seeing the worry in his eyes. âWhy would I be mad? What reason do I have to be mad? I just feel sorry for you.â
Jeremy asked, âFeel sorry for what?â
Cornelia replied, âOf course for you. You had to shoulder so much on your own, and I didnât help you ease any of the pressure.â
All these things might have sounded easy, but in reality, they were pretty damn hard to pull off. Cornelia couldnât even imagine how Jeremy managed to do it all.e2
Jeremy chuckled. âHow can you say you didnât help?â
Cornelia retorted, âYou kicked me out during that time. How could I possibly help?â
Jeremy replied, âJust by being by my side, youâre already the biggest help. As long as youâre with me, I have hope, and I have drive. With you around, no matter how tough it gets, I can hang in there.â
Cornelia laughed. âYouâre becoming quite the charmer. I donât know if youâll be charming other girls without me knowing in the future.â
Jeremy held her hand tightly. âI only need you. I wonât be pleasing anyone else.â
Cornelia hugged him tightly, burying her head in his chest. Jeremyâ¦â
Jeremy, âHmm?â
Cornelia, âI must have used up all my good luck to meet you.â
Jeremy, âSilly girl, itâs my fortune of several lifetimes to meet you.â
Cornelia, âLetâs go home. Hope must be looking for us.â
Jeremy, âOkay.â
Meanwhile, Hannah had already returned to her hometown and settled down. As she hadnât fully recovered, she was exhausted on the way home and went to rest as soon as she got home.
The small shop at home had been left unattended for so long because she was away, so Pandora busied herself tidying up the shop. Jeo stayed at home just in case Hannah woke up and needed care. Once he was sure Hannah had fallen asleep, Jeo went downstairs to smoke at the doorway.
The Ableson familyâs home was in the countryside, a three-story house. In the past, the houses in the village were sporadically distributed, but later, all the houses were built together, forming rows of small buildings, which looked very beautiful.
Hannahâs home was at the end of the village, so to get home, you had to pass through many neighborsâ yards. Hearing that the big star Hannah was back, many neighbors made a special trip to visit.
At first, everyone was very polite, and Jeo warmly welcomed them. He just reminded everyone to keep their voices down so as not to wake Hannah, who was resting upstairs.
Someone asked, âJeo, we noticed that Hannah looks a bit off, is she sick?â
