Bobby was mad at Jeremy. Charlie called him just some time ago to ask him what he should do about the squirrel. He said that she was too quiet and it didn't seem like she even ate lunch.Charlie asked Bobby to send Scarlett to check on Jacquessince he felt it would be inappropriate for him to enter her bedroom. All Bobby could do was roll his eyes and run to Jeremy's house.Inappropriate? What if she is in danger? What if she choked or fainted?Bobby was worried if she had locked that chain lock in her door if she was inside the bedroom. He imagined all kinds of worse scenarios involving that little squirrel.He called Jeremy to inform him, but that guy didn't answer his call. Deciding to break the door in case it is locked, he walked inside the house.There was no sight of her in the kitchen and other areas, so he walked to her bedroom. Thankfully, it was not locked.The room was dark and he switched on the light. He wondered if she might be in the bathroom, but it was unlocked. He w
Jacques Expected he'd let go of her but his hold on her wrist tightened and he glared at her."For that? No! I don't have to be there in person. Bye, Emma. I am busy.""...""I'm with... Don't call me back, bye."He ended the call.Jacquespouted seeing his mad-looking face.Well, why is he mad at me?The doctor called them in at that moment and Jacquesran inside. But the moment she saw that chair, her stomach churned."It's okay. I am here," Jeremy held her hand. He didn't seem mad now. She tried to get out of his hold, but he didn't let go.Jacquessucking in her breath, plopped on that chair of doom. The bright light that won't let you see around you, that mouth prop, that clinking, drilling, sucking noises...Ugh!Jerlina's ears felt stuffed, out of fear.Usually, she'd be answering to the dentist, but it was Jeremy who answered for her this time. He even had a copy of her dental records.How the hell did he...Well... He knows my mom's middle and maiden names. So...She just stared
"I love you..."Jerlina's voice was meek but it seemed to be filled with joy. He didn't know what he should do next.His heart started to pound and his stomach hurt because of the sudden influx of happiness.She said what?"I love you sooo much..."Her hold around his neck tightened and his knees weakened. He stumbled his way near his car and leaned on the hood to ensure he didn't drop her.She really said it... She said~"...daddy!"WHAT!!Her next word interrupted his happy thoughts."Daddy... daddy...I love you..." she rubbed her cheeks on his and he let out a sigh.His back humped and suddenly she felt so heavy that he couldn't carry her.She's thinking about her dad?-----Jacqueswas watching her boy and her mother playing in the distance.And then the scene changed.She was sitting in the dentist's office fearing to get in for her procedure. Her heart started to race and she didn't want to be there. She was thinking of running away.At that time, the door opened and...Her dad w
Mikhail was terrified. He doesn't like it when people mix up relationships for fun.If he is your lover, call him that. There are a lot of other words to describe that relationship. Just don't call him daddy if you're sleeping with him!Is that too much to ask of people these days?And of all people, Jeremy's wife is falling for this trend? I see they have a big age gap, but still...He is not your daddy if you're married to him!"She's high... Wisdom teeth extraction... And I am very tired, let me in," Jeremy said with a sigh.He could see terror dancing in Mikhail's face."Oh..." Mikhail let them in and closed the door. "Oh?"It still doesn't make sense! Ugh, whatever!Mikhail decided to let go seeing Jeremy being really tired."Daddy, is he your friend?" Jacqueswhispered in his ears once more as they were seated on the couch."Yes," Jeremy nodded, patting her head."Oh," she said, and then she was on her best behavior. Sitting with her knees together and her hands on her lap, she l
Mikhail opened his mouth to say something but then emptied his glass without saying anything.Jeremy took a sip from his glass.His investigations faced a dead end with Moses Mosley. But there is no animosity between Jacquesand Moses. That only means that someone pays Moses enough to get her. If he finds out who that is, it would be easy for him to deal with them."She..." Mikhail let out a deep breath and Jeremy looked at him.Mikhail isn't loose-lipped and he has high alcohol tolerance. That means he means to speak to him about this."She has enemies, yes. But if the ones going behind her are them... apparently, she has no chance of survival." He took in another deep breath seeing Jeremy's very unimpressed face."Who are they?" Jeremy fisted his hands."Grandpa didn't say... I think he's scared of them too..." Mikhail looked at the floor in deep thought.Jeremy knows he is not lying. There is someone even Volkonsky is afraid of? Who might that be? Should I start my investigations fr
Jeremy bowed his head. It seems like that seems to be the rational move forward if he wants to have his love fulfilled. Everyone is advising the same and he thinks the same too.For him, the choice is obvious. Like Emma made the choice to get the man she loved, he will do everything to get the heart of the woman he loves too."What about you?" Jeremy asked Mikhail who fell silent.Although Mikhail's advice is sound, it did hurt Jeremy's pride to be advised by a younger guy."Me? You know me... I'd like to be at least forty before I even think about marriage-""So your grandpa still doesn't want to get involved with the Erling family, it seems," Jeremy probed. He had a hunch, but..."I am not interested in Rose! So whatever you heard or whatever you saw is all a lie. Erase it and don't ever bring that name up!" Mikhail got all defensive and Jeremy smirked.So, my hunch was right!"So her name is Rose, huh? I never knew..." Jeremy was proud of himself to see Mikhail squirm realizing tha
"Ah, never mind," Jeremy then waved his hand.If they are connected with Royal families, they must have been given a lot of titles. And those titles won't bring her any danger like he does."Money? Did they leave much?" Jeremy questioned. "Did they go bankrupt or owe someone?"Now that would bring troubles."That..." Mikhail took a deep breath. "Hamiltons never owe anyone. From my understanding of what grandpa said... Ms. Hopkins is entitled to a lot of money... I mean she might be richer than you... I mean your Fitzgerald wealth. But if you return, you will be easily a billionaire as a reigning monarch. There really is a stash of treasure..." Mikhail stopped seeing Jeremy, not listening to him anymore.Jeremy sank into his thoughts."Any other heirs... illegitimate claims?" Jeremy looked at Mikhail.It is not impossible for claims to be heirs arise when large inheritance is involved. And one cannot ignore the possibility that the Hamiton Lords had kids out of marriage. Can one such k
"Don't kid me, Joel... Did it really happen?" still burying her chin to her chest, she pulled his collar."Have I really lied to you before?" he grabbed the back of her head and she felt a tingling feeling when he touched her.He made her look at his face that was bright with a teasing smile.She pouted and looked at him pitifully. "I did not, did I?""You did," Jeremy shrugged with a smile. "You were very cute yesterday. Playing in the park, asking for ice cream, calling me daddy...""Stop!" She tried to turn but he held her."Shh, don't move. I'll stop."Jacques In his embrace closed her eyes. "I don't know why, but lately I'm missing my dad a lot... my mom too..." her eyes welled with tears.Jeremy hugged her close. It probably is because of the wedding. She probably wanted her dad to walk her down the aisle like most women. And you don't need a reason to miss our mom."I miss my mother too," he said with all honesty.He really wished his mother was here to see him getting married
