Chapter 889
Chapter 889
Due to the incident in the parking lot, almost everyone's mood was affected. Cecilia and Jeremy were quiet along the way.
The car soon stopped at the house entrance, but the two did not move. Jeremy's mind was in a mess. It was obviously the best excuse to force her to leave as long as he did not speak or explain. But for some reason, when he saw her lonely and abnormally silent attitude, he felt very uncomfortable deep down in his heart.
After opening the car door, Cecilia said, "Don't drive me away. I will move out tomorrow."
As soon as she finished speaking, she jumped out of the car.
After getting out of the car, Jeremy grabbed her by the wrist and said, "Cecilia..."
He clutched her petite hand forcefully. The words "I'm sorry" were on the tip of his tongue, but he couldn't say it out. Vaguely, his heart was also in pain.
"You don't have to apologize to me. You never promised me anything anyway..."
As she spoke, she wanted to laugh, but tears welled up in her eyes. She always thought that he had already let go of the past. The reason why he always emphasized his past was to drive her away. After all, he and Lindsay...
Finally, Cecilia came to her realization. Perhaps, Lindsay was nothing. Instead, his first love was the biggest obstacle between them.
In the end, she couldn't vent her anger on Alicia because Alicia was already married. For such a long time, Alicia hadn't been involved with him. He was alone, so what could she do?
Should Cecilia fight with memory over Jeremy? She was afraid that even if she made Alicia disappear from his world, it wouldn't change anything. It was the first time Cecilia felt so frustrated that she was utterly dejected.
She turned her head and sobbed.
"Jeremy, I sincerely admit defeat. Other than our age, I can't compare with her in every aspect... She is more beautiful, more talented, and more successful than me!"
For the sake of knowing her enemy, she had checked her past. Alicia was so beautiful that her face in the photo was still distinctly imprinted in her mind. She had always thought that Waverly and Natasha were extremely beautiful, but Alicia was indeed beyond comparison. Even if Cecilia was jealous, she couldn't deny that Lindsay couldn't be compared with Alicia either.
Just looking at the two men fighting for her, anyone could imagine how charming Alicia was.
Cecilia had the confidence to win against Lindsay, but she didn't have the slightest confidence against Alicia.
Cecilia knew very well that in terms of looks, she didn't even have much of an advantage over Lindsay. She could only beat Lindsay with her heart, a heart that was truly sincere and would not ask for anything in return. She would never resort to unscrupulous means.
Therefore, even if she lost, she would accept it willingly.
Cecilia turned around, and suddenly she felt warmth behind her. The next second, she was hugged from behind. Her body was stiff, and her eyes were frozen.
"Cecilia, don't say that. You have your own merits. You're no worse than anyone else! I'm sorry, I didn't want to hurt you..."
Closing his eyes, Jeremy also felt sorrowful. It was not that he could not accept her feelings, but he had no confidence in her youthful emotions.
What he didn't know was that his comforting action made Cecilia feel encouraged once again.
Jeremy withdrew his arms after a while. Cecilia also turned around and looked straight into his eyes.
Jeremy gave her a comforting smile and said, "Cecilia, you're still young. You'll understand what true love is in the future."
"I hope you meet that person one day!" he thought.
Thinking of this possibility, Jeremy's heart seemed to have been pricked by a needle in an instant. He turned around and forced himself to ignore the feeling.
"I won't drive you away yet. When you find a place to stay, I'll send you there."
No matter how inappropriate it was, her safety was still the priority.
It seemed that she vaguely understood his resistance and feelings. She smiled brightly again and said, "When I'm as old as you and tell you that I love you, will you stop doubting my sincerity?"
What?
Her words were like a bolt from the blue, and Jeremy was instantly stunned. He wondered, "What did she mean? She won't continue pursuing him, will she? It will take eight to ten years!"
It was a lie to say that he wasn't touched.
For a long time, Jeremy did not respond.
She took a step forward and stood on her tiptoes. Cecilia took the initiative to kiss him. Her eyes were like torches and her words were sonorous.
"It's a deal. You have to wait for me! Whether it's ten or twenty years, I will say the same words to you. Jeremy, I love you. I won't marry anyone except you."
At this moment, when Lindsay got
out of the car and saw this, she couldn't believe it. The things in her hands fell to the ground with a loud
noise She strode forward, pushed Cecilia away and slapped her
"You shameless little b*tch!"
Jeremy was Cecilia's brother-in-law, but Lindsay knew that she was up to no good. How could Cecilia seduce her man in broad daylight?
The sound of the slap nearly shook the earth. When the two came back to their senses, Cecilia was already on the ground. Jeremy suddenly came to his senses and he pushed Lindsay away angrily.
"What are you doing?"
"Cecilia!"
Exclaiming in surprise, Jeremy ran over and helped her up. When he saw the red palm print on her cheek, he was so furious that he lost his temper.
"Does it hurt?"
Cecilia shook her head. Jeremy turned back and seethed furiously, "If you dare to hurt Cecilia again, I won't hold back! Get out! I don't want to see you!"
"Jeremy, how can you do this to me? This little b*tch is up to no good! She even wants to seduce her brother- in-law, so how can she be a good person? Jeremy, don't be fooled by her! Love you the most. I've done so much for you, and I've given you everything. How can you do this to me?"
Crying, Lindsay took a few more steps forward.
"Jeremy, I know I screwed up. Can you forgive me? You are the only one I have. Come back to my side. I will give you everything you want."
As soon as Lindsay approached, Cecilia hid behind Jeremy and pulled at his clothes. "Jeremy..."Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.
Almost at the same time, the minuscule amount of guilt in Jeremy's heart was dispelled. Thinking of the past, Jeremy uttered firmly, "Lindsay, I have said my piece. Don't bother me again!"
Turning around, he shielded Cecelia and held her in his arms. "Let's go in!"
When the two of them walked away, Lindsay was greatly agitated. She lost control and threw herself towards Cecilia. "You little vixen! Look at me, you b*tch, I'm going to kill you!"
Pulling at her hair, both of them crashed to the ground in a heap. Jeremy forcefully pushed Lindsay out, and his powerful strength made her collapse
to the ground.
"You are really insane!"
He pulled Cecilia and quickly entered the door. With a bang, Jeremy locked the door. Behind him, Lindsay was crying and howling in the night.
"Ahhh!"
As she fell, Lindsay was choked with sobs. Then, she got up, found a rock on the side of the road, and smashed it against the car window.
After entering the house, Jeremy went to the kitchen to get an ice bag. Just then, Cecilia's phone suddenly rang.
It was Natasha calling.
When he came out, Jeremy heard her cell phone ringing and asked, "Why don't you answer the phone?" "Hm? It's nothing. It's some random number!"
