"I'll definitely get your heart, Jerlina..." Jerlina tried to pretend that she didn't hear it. But in the silence of the autumn night, where even the dogs and insects went silent for that moment, his voice, soft as a baby's breath, was heard as a rolling thunder in her ears. She didn't mean to let him know that she heard it, but she did, unconsciously. His eyes, sharp as a wolf's, bore a hole right into her soul. She felt cornered and marked by him. Her heart raced and her breathing got difficult.…-

Jerlina expected a teasing smirk or a mocking word or two from Jeremy. But he looked sombre. He didn't even talk with her when they were eating. Watching him eat, she felt sad. She didn't know what he was thinking, but after she mentioned Emma, he looked very distressed. Is he still thinking about that? After dinner, she offered to wash the dishes. He didn't refuse and went to his study. Jerlina, after finishing the dishes checked him out from a distance. His eyes were droopy and looked…

The door was open and Duke came in wagging his tail. He was licking his lips and looked fed. "Did she give you food, Duke? She's amazing, isn't she? Let's give her a reason to stay, alright? You'd like that, right?" He scratched behind Duke's ears and Duke happily wagged his tail. "Is someone downstairs?" He mumbled and walked out.

Jeremy didn't feel great hearing Jerlina complain about Emma, but he said he'd listen to her and he will listen to her. Emma is not a saint, Jeremy knew.

Jerlina suffered worse than Emma, growing up. But everyone gets affected differently by traumas. That's why one person cannot be compared to another or judged as such. And…

Jeremy observed her. She was twisting her lower lips with her fingers and biting them. Her eyebrows were furrowed as she was thinking deeply. Isn't she adorable? But if she is this confused about getting courted, that means she is unfamiliar with courting. How did she even end up with that dipsh*t? What did he even do for her to have her as a girlfriend for seven long years? Had I known, I would have stolen her from him! "You don't know what courting is, lady?" he asked. "It's when a man tries…

He's going to show me what? Jerlina wanted to get angry. Her face did go red, but it didn't go red out of anger. Why am I so hopeless? Jeremy saw Jerlina's face blushing. She bit her lips and he remembered that day when she stood dripping wet in front of him. Those perky pair of... How awesome would they be if looked at directly! He felt his abdomen tightening and he sucked in his breath. Ugh! Who is teasing who? Jerlina was trying to get angry to shout at him, but before that, he let…

Jeremy looked at Jerlina frozen solid and he didn't know what to think of her. All he said was that he dressed up nicely for her and she is stunned. Didn't she joke about my erection some time ago? But this stunned her? What a weird one! I love her! "I did this hairstyle for you. I dressed up nicely for you. I was happy when you appreciated my looks and said that I looked handsome," he held her hand and she winced a little. He placed his other hand over her hand, "So, who did you dress for?"…

"Isn't this enough?" Jerlina mumbled to Jeremy after posing for the umptieth picture. There were photos and videos taken of them and he was pretty interested in taking pictures unlike her. Most of the guests have left, Scarlett came often to touch up her makeup and Jerlina felt like she is a model doing a photo shoot. "Are you tired already?" he looked a little disappointed. He could see she was in a good mood and she looked extremely beautiful. And so he used the chance to have as many pictures…

"Yes," Scarlett nodded at Dr. Kruger as she carefully tried to carry the baby. But the baby started to cry and Daisy gestured that she'd keep the baby. "Jerlina decided to be happy for some reason, and now she probably forgot or doesn't care that this is a fake wedding. But this is good for Jeremy, right?" Scarlett spoke in a hushed tone and both the ladies nodded. "As long as that boy is happy..." "Yeah..." Both the ladies were happy and Scarlett watched the dancing couple with a smile on her…
