Suddenly, Jeremy felt like he was struck by lightning. His shoulder shuddered.
He suddenly remembered!
He was working at the Walsh Group’s branch in Mosgravia. Liana heard the news and wanted to drag him to some party.
He was rushing for a meeting, so he rejected Liana. She threw a tantrum and threw his phone into the fish tank. Jeremy assumed that Alyssa must have made a distress call then.
Instantly, Jeremy’s gaze darkened.
“Mr. Jeremy? Mr. Jeremy? Why did you stop talking? Are you okay?” Ben asked worriedly.
At this moment, Jeremy rested his hand on the window sill. His towering body gradually bent over inch by inch, his mind on the verge of collapse.
Alyssa’s high fever broke the next day. Jeremy’s worried heart had finally calmed down.
She opened her eyes, and the first thing she saw was the love of her life before her. She was so excited that she nuzzled into his arms. The two lovebirds hugged each other with everything they had.
“Jeremy, I’m not dreaming, am I?”
Alyssa looked at Jeremy tearfully. Her hand reached to pinch his face until it started to redden. Most people would pinch themselves to determine if it was a dream, but Alyssa pinched others. It was weird.
However, Jeremy didn’t feel any pain. He thought that he was the luckiest man alive. His hand caressed her hair affectionately. “It’s not a dream, Lyse. It’s me. You can touch me again if you don’t believe me.”
“This is amazing!”
Alyssa charged into his arms once again. A surge of pain and uneasiness kicked in. She, who had always been strong, wailed loudly.
She pinched him hard and cried really loud. Alyssa’s body must have recovered well.
After a warm nuzzle, Jeremy placed his lips close to her ear. He murmured in self-reproach, “I’m sorry,
Alyssa. I’m sorry. Once you’re better, you can punish me all you want.”
“Why? Why should I hit you?” Alyssa blinked. “Have you gotten yourself a mistress? Do you have someone else now?”
Jeremy’s face turned pale. “Lyse…”
“I’m joking. Look at you.” Alyssa pinched his face again. Jeremy appeared so gaunt. Her heart ached.
“You’re so skinny now. Are you trying to upset me?”
Jeremy’s face still bore the remnants of mottled tears from the night before. He tightly interlaced his fingers with hers, not speaking a single word.
He contemplated again. Then, he decided not to mention it anymore and covered Alyssa’s lips with a sweet, long, and deep kiss.
He remembered the pain and suffering she went through. He promised himself that he would break a bone and use the rest of his life to repay her.
Upon waking up, Lauren was informed that Jeremy and Alyssa were there. An excited smile adorned her beautiful and elegant face.
She wanted to see Alyssa, but Landon hugged her from behind to stop her. “Darling, let’s give Alyssa and Jeremy some alone time. They had gone through a lot.”
“Hmm. But I miss Alyssa so much.” Lauren’s eyes welled up with tears as she was filled with anticipation.
“Don’t you miss me?”
Landon turned Lauren’s body around to face him and looked at her aggrievedly. “I have been so busy last night that I hadn’t gotten a shut-eye. Don’t you miss me?”
“I do, but I can see you every day.” Lauren was confused.
Landon pouted his lips. He was speechless. Landon thought his honeymoon phase was over. He was still pouring his affections on Lauren, but she had treated their love like an old married couple.
Landon panicked and held Lauren by her waist, restraining her. Then, he forcefully parted her lips, and their tongues intertwined. Lauren instantly melted in his arms with that kiss.
After a long time, they separated. Lauren was teary-eyed, and their lips were slightly swollen.
“Listen to me. Wait a while before you say hi to Jeremy and Alyssa, okay?” Landon caressed Lauren’s lips with his finger. He was satisfied with her passionate reaction.
“O-Okay.”
Lauren felt dizzy and weak from the kiss. She complied. “I will bake Alyssa a cake. She likes desserts. I will bring it to her later.”
Lauren wanted to show off her baking skills, so Landon had to make the arrangements for her.
Angelina quickly prepared the ingredients and appliances. Lauren rolled her sleeves up and went to work in the kitchen with an apron on. Landon was mesmerized by her.
“Darling, let me have a slice.” Landon sat on the countertop, leaned over to Lauren, and opened his mouth wide.
Lauren felt cheeky and scooped a piece of butter with her fingertip. She caught him off guard, smeared it on his face, and held her stomach while she guffawed.
“You cheeky little thing! I will lick you all over like this butter!”
As they bantered lovingly, the doorbell rang.
“Huh? Are we expecting company, Landon?” Lauren was in Landon’s arms, blinking in surprise.
Landon frowned.
He rarely had company. Plus, only a handful of people knew about the home here.
“Angelina, please check who is at the door,” Landon ordered softly.
“Okay, Mr. Harper.”
Angelina went to check it out. However, she didn’t come back for a while.
Then, both of them were startled by the thud from the entrance.
“Lauren, wait here and don’t come out. I’ll take a look!”
Landon made his way to the living room. When he saw who it was, his eyes widened, and he gasped.
Angelina, skilled in combat, found herself effortlessly pinned down by a striking man. Her hands were restrained against the wall.
“This is a great villa. I quite like it.”
Axel squinted his eyes and scanned the place. His sharp vision caught Landon’s surprised expression, and he smirked. “Maybe I should get one too. Then, we can be neighbors.”
Landon’s hair stood on end at Axel’s arrival.
He was known to be a living Hades. Landon thought he was a goner to encounter Axel. Plus, he was
Alyssa’s brother, so he didn’t dare make a move.
“I’m sorry, Mr. Harper…” Angelina heaved a heavy sigh as she looked at Landon, her eyes filled with selfblame.
Landon swallowed hard and said anxiously, “Stop it! For someone of your status, you shouldn’t lay your hands on a woman. It’s distasteful.”
“So, I’m supposed to stand here and let this woman beat me up, huh?”
Axel yawned lazily, “Am I that dumb?”
One sentence from Axel sent Landon off the roof.
He understood Angelina’s nature and her skill level. Once she chose to follow him, her loyalty was unwavering. She would fight with all her might if anyone dared to offend Landon.
“But, you’re right. I won’t lay my hands on a woman.”
Axel nonchalantly let go. He arrogantly perked his eyebrow. “Babe, consider yourself a lucky woman.
Otherwise, I would have fucked you.”
“Bastard!” Angelina was headstrong, unwilling to endure such humiliation. Her eyes gleamed with fury as she clenched her fists, eager for a fight. However, Landon shouted for her to stop. “Angelina, watch yourself. He is Alyssa’s brother.”
Angelina was taken aback. In a state of shock, she retracted her fists. She couldn’t fathom that he was
Alyssa’s brother¡ªa Taylor, no less. The idea that such an unruly man could be part of Alyssa’s family seemed unbelievable to her.
