Maggie paused and said weakly, “Ms. Alyssa. If I didn’t contact you…
“I would still be willing to wait. It’s your choice whether to call. However, it’s mine whether to wait.”
Alyssa’s eyes were glistening. Every word she said was laced with determination.
There was a long pause on the other side.
However, Alyssa gave Maggie her absolute patience. Maggie didn’t say a word, so she was waiting silently.
Sometimes, Jeremy was in awe of the way Alyssa could hold herself together. To get what she wanted, she was willing to sacrifice herself, suffer humiliation, and act sparingly. She had never felt like she was above everyone else and showed her wealth off because of her prestige.
He only had this level of perseverance with her. He could never be as patient as her with everyone else.
“Ms. Alyssa, I called to tell you that I am willing to be a witness to accuse David of taking advantage of me,” Maggie croaked. She spoke with a trembling voice, her words laced with hatred, gritting her teeth with each utterance.
Jeremy was taken aback, his eyes quivering in shock. His heart raced even faster, and his jaw tensed with the intensity of the moment.
At this moment, a strong surge of emotions overwhelmed Alyssa. She tried hard to suppress the urge to tear as her lips trembled. She said gently, “Great, as long as you are willing. Mr. Walsh, from the
Walsh Group, and I… We have your back.”
Jeremy’s heart suffered a significant blow, alternating between contraction and release.
It was difficult for him to open his heart to others after his childhood spent in poverty and his family broken. It was hard to show the same empathy to people other than his loved ones.
Yet, at this moment, his heart trembled violently with bitterness and ache. Was he experiencing empathy for Maggie?
“My mother is keeping a strict eye on me. She will follow me wherever I go, and I have no personal space. However, I can slip out to find you when my mother is asleep at night.”
“Maggie, I will come to your place with Mr. Walsh and pick you up from downstairs. Don’t worry. No one will see us.” Alyssa’s heart beat wildly as she promised her.
“I’m not afraid of getting caught. I only have this window of time to head out,” Maggie sighed sadly.
“We’re picking you up to ensure you’re safe.”
Jeremy’s voice was low as he said with a stern face, “Now, the Schmidt Group might be keeping an eye on your every move. If the Schmidt Group finds out that you’ve left out of the blue, it might put you in danger.”
Maggie was stunned. “M-Ms. Alyssa, this is…”
“Don’t be afraid, Maggie. This is Mr. Walsh. He is beside me now.” Alyssa lifted her face and gently raised her hands.
Jeremy got up. Like a servant serving the queen, he placed his handsome face before her, their noses touching.
Alyssa was slightly startled, blinking. Then, Jeremy kissed the top of her lip.
He swirled the tip of his tongue cheekily. As Alyssa felt the tease, his lips left hers.
Alyssa cursed Jeremy in her heart for being so cheeky.
“M-Mr. Walsh? Is it really him?”
Maggie was no longer glum. She got so worked up that she raised her voice. “Mr. Walsh! I-I really admire you! You are my idol!”
Jeremy frowned. After a pause, he said, “Thank you.”
“I think you look really handsome. You are better looking than some celebrities. I really like you!”
“I have someone I love, and it is Ms. Alyssa.” Jeremy looked indifferent as he hugged Alyssa by her shoulder.
“No, no! Please don’t take it the wrong way!”
Maggie explained in a panic, “I admire you for your talent and looks. I don’t mean anything else! Plus. I am actually a big fan of you and Ms. Alyssa! I think both of you are great for each other!”
“The internet had said terrible things about Mr. Walsh. He is just a pretty face, but he still has fans. I guess only looks matter in this society.”
Alyssa purposely pulled Jeremy’s leg. However, she couldn’t hide the smile in her eyes.
“No, there may be many terrible things said about Mr. Walsh, but I believe you and Mr. Walsh really love each other.”
Maggie opened her heart. “I really like both of you and trust you, so I decided to take this step.”
“Maggie, thank you for your vote of confidence. And thank you for your courage.”
Alyssa smiled as bright as the sun. “Please be careful. See you tonight.”
After ending the call, Jeremy asked impatiently, “Alyssa, what sorcery is this? That girl is willing to stand in as a witness. Tell me your secret.”
“Hmm, I didn’t do much. I received a letter from her. Every now and then, I will write her a letter with my contact details. This is to show her that I am waiting for her.” Alyssa jumped in excitement, but her tone seemed relaxed.
But Jeremy knew she had put in a lot of effort without him knowing.
“Jeremy, you’ve acquired another shiny pseudonym!” Alyssa exclaimed, wrapping her arms around
Jeremy’s neck. Her body seemed to melt into his chest as she clung to him. “You’re a foreteller! What you predicted came true. The situation hasn’t concluded yet, so there must be a way to turn things around.”
Gleeful, Jeremy’s eyes glistened with joy after receiving Alyssa’s compliment. “Lyse, I’m not a foreteller.
If you hadn’t secretly orchestrated the whole thing, how could things turn for the better?”
Alyssa shook her head stubbornly. “No, you are what I say you are. My man’s mouth is very prophetic!”
“Lyse, I used to be a pessimistic person. When I joined the force that year, I was living on the edge of death. I’ve never even thought about leaving the battlefield alive.
“But you’ve transformed me completely, turning me into a more positive person. When we faced that attack on Shelland Island, uncertain if the next second might be our last, the thought of you gave me strength. I hoped we wouldn’t meet our end.”
Alyssa’s eyes welled up with tears after Jeremy’s sincere words. She planted a kiss on his lips.
Jeremy was delighted by it. He grabbed Alyssa’s waist, lifted her, and spun her around calmly.
“Ah! No!”
In an instant, a chill swept over Alyssa. The towel, previously wrapped securely around her waist and covering her private area, loosened and slipped off.
Jeremy’s blood boiled as he caught Alyssa on full display.
“I think it’s just right.”
Jeremy curled his lips naughtily. He scooped Alyssa up and walked toward the bedroom, kissing her inch by inch.
“W-What are you doing? I just showered!” Alyssa’s heart raced as she playfully hit his chest. A subtle pinkish blush spread across her smooth, silky skin.
Jeremy’s eyes reddened as he murmured hoarsely, “I’ll shower you again. Let me get my batteries recharged.”
After enduring an excruciating wait until nightfall, Alyssa, Jeremy, and Xavier returned to Maggie’s house once again.
Both of them were waiting in the car. Xavier stood by the door as he looked left and right cautiously, waiting for Maggie to appear.
Shortly after, a woman clad in a plain T-shirt and jeans emerged from the dark wooden door.
Alyssa and Jeremy cast aside their concerns when they spotted Maggie from the car. While they wished to approach her personally, having three people there would have made her a conspicuous target.
“Are you Ms. Madison?” Xavier paused as he silently sized the pleasant-looking woman.
Xavier sighed to himself. It was no surprise that David would set his sights on a woman as fair and beautiful. The scoundrel had tarnished such an innocent lady!
However, she actually looked mature and nothing like a 17-year-old.
“Yes, I’m Maggie.” Maggie blinked as she stared at the man in the suit in fear.
He looked prim, proper, and poised. He didn’t look like he belonged in this poor area.
She felt ashamed, so she pursed her lips and took a small step back.
Xavier smiled warmly, and he escorted her in a chivalrous manner. “Mr. Walsh and his wife are waiting.
Please come with me.”
