But if he went to Newton’s place, he feared he wouldn’t be able to hold back his emotions and might break down in front of Newton. That would make the old man worry.
Jeremy stood at the entrance of the police station in a daze and suddenly forced a bitter smile.
The president of Walsh Group, who was worth tens of billions, was now like a lost soul with nowhere to go.
It was pitiful, ridiculous, and truly tragic.
“You can stay at my place tonight,” Alyssa said in a gentle tone, making Jeremy spin around and stare into her eyes in disbelief.
He even thought that he might be hearing things due to excessive grief. After all, he didn’t dare to dream of such things.
“I… can just go to a hotel for a few days.”
“Don’t overthink it.”
Alyssa’s eyelashes trembled slightly. “You can’t go back to Seaview Manor now, and I don’t want you to go to Grandpa’s place and make him worry. If you stay in a hotel, I won’t feel at ease either.
“I’m afraid you might do something rash. If something happens to you, avenging your mom alone will be more difficult, and the process will be prolonged. I just simply don’t like the feeling of fighting alone.”
Jeremy frowned, his gloomy eyes still moist.
The feeling of fighting alone.
He understood her. He understood her feeling of unilaterally pouring out her heart and soul, only to receive nothing in return.
In her youth, she had passionately pursued him, but he had been. unaware of her love or even presence.
She had married him three years ago, but he had never responded to her fervent love, not even once.
Jeremy turned his worn-out face aside, blinking back his tears. He had already lost control of himself in the interrogation room. He didn’t want to show his vulnerability in front of Alyssa again.
“Whether you agree or not, I must stay with you tonight. If you choose a hotel, I’ll stay in the hotel with you. If you choose to sleep on the streets, I’ll sleep on the streets with you.”
When Alyssa became stubborn, Jeremy could never win against her.
Jeremy’s pale face blushed at her words, and his heart beat fast.
Although he didn’t want to get ahead of himself, it did sound like a wife accompanying her husband.
“Well… I’ll stay at your place tonight, then.” His voice was low and hoarse.
“Enough of that. Haven’t you gone to extreme lengths for me? Don’t be so polite. Let’s go.”
Alyssa’s heart was also inexplicably pounding hard. She quickly took
Jeremy swallowed and smiled. Just like an obedient husband, he followed behind her.
Since Sean had been injured, Alyssa’s villa had been empty, giving it an eerie feeling. Even stepping inside sent shivers down one’s spine.
Jeremy walked in. Although he was someone who had never paid attention to unnecessary things, he suddenly looked like an excited child.
His eyes were wandering and sparkling with an excited glow. He didn’t want to miss any trace of Alyssa’s life.
This was his first time entering Alyssa’s home. Before this, he had only been able to stand outside in the rain.
At this moment, for the first time in his life, Jeremy felt a sense of vanity. He suddenly wanted to take a picture and send it to Landon.
“Who said only you can come here? Look, I’m here too!” he thought.
“Jeremy, what are you looking at?”
Alyssa glanced at him with surprise. “Do you know that the look in your eyes just now was like a thief’s?”
“Sorry.” Jeremy quickly withdrew his gaze, feeling like he had lost control again.
“Except for the last room on the left on the second floor, you can go into any other room you like. The fridge in the kitchen should have some ingredients Sean left there. If you want to eat, make it yourself. I don’t have a chef here,” Alyssa said calmly, turning to go upstairs.
“Why can’t I go into that room?” Jeremy asked foolishly.
“Because that’s my bedroom.”
Alyssa suddenly stopped, looking back at him with a faint smile.
“Don’t worry. I don’t have any secrets that can’t be seen, nor do I have any old lovers that I can’t forget. If you want to visit my bedroom, you can do it now.”
She mischievously teased him again.
Thinking of those old photos of certain people that he still carefully preserved in the study until now, her heart felt an inevitable pang again.
Since she still cared, she couldn’t help but mention it whenever she had the chance to tease him.
After all, she was just a human, not a saint. Wasn’t she allowed to show some temper?
“Lyse…”
Jeremy’s eyes became slightly red. He knew she was still upset about the villa incident.
But at the same time, a flame of hope ignited in his heart. If Alyssa truly had no feelings for him, and if, as she said, they were only together again for revenge, then she had no reason to bring up this matter.
The fact that she had mentioned it meant she cared. She cared about his past and about him.
“You can do as you like. I’ll go upstairs.”
Alyssa’s voice was noticeably melancholic. “I hope you adjust your mentality quickly. Our revenge is about to begin.”
“Lyse, I’ve already sold that villa. I’ve already destroyed everything inside, except for my mother’s photos.”
Jeremy felt as though a heavy pressure was pressing on his chest, making it almost impossible for him to breathe.
Alyssa was cold. “That has nothing to do with me. Those are your personal belongings. How you want to deal with them is your business.”
“I know the existence of those things hurts you.”
“It’s because you want them to exist. You couldn’t bear to throw them away.” Alyssa chuckled lightly, sounding as if she was relieved.
“I completely forgot about that. I sold the villa to Xavier a long time ago. It’s just that he hasn’t had time to deal with it.”
Jeremy knew his explanation was weak, but he still tried his best to explain, “That night, I was drugged and in a haze. I have no memory of what happened.
“Landon didn’t want me to stay in a hotel in that state, but he couldn’t send me back to Seaview Manor. He only remembered that I had that villa, so he sent me there-“
“Jeremy, I said it’s your business. It has nothing to do with me.”
Closing her eyes, Alyssa raised her hand to stop him from speaking further. “Alright, I’m tired.”
“Why does it have nothing to do with you? Don’t you resent me for that?” Jeremy was so anxious that he started sweating, and his breathing became heavy.
“I resent you for many things, not just this one.”
Jeremy felt a sharp pain in his chest. It made him clench his fists.
“But now I feel that there’s nothing to resent anymore. It’s all in the past.” Alyssa’s tone was casual.
She turned around slowly, but even she didn’t realize that her eyes were already reddening.
“Jeremy, let’s look forward. Even the most painful memories aren’t worth mentioning in the face of hatred, right? It will only affect our speed in getting vengeance.”
“I’m going upstairs.”
Suddenly, Alyssa felt a weight on her back, and her b*dy leaned forward sharply.”
Jeremy hugged her tightly from behind, enveloping her entirely. He wished he could meld her into his b*dy.
His firm and warm chest pressed against her slender back. His. intense heartbeat pounded into her, making her head dizzy. A soft and tingling sensation spread from her back to her chest.
“Jeremy,” Alyssa called hoarsely as her breathing became rapid.
