Be Your Lover Forever (Alicia)



Her stomach was growling, and Cecilia burst into tears again and said,

"Brother-in-law, can you let me stay with you for a few days? When my sister comes back from her business trip, I'll ask her to return the money to you. I'm so hungry, I haven't eaten anything for a day!"

Seeing her crying like a baby, Jeremy didn't know whether to laugh or cry. Hadn't this young lady ever been out of the house? Did she not know how to borrow a phone if she was lost? The Castle family is rich and powerful. Even if they were not from that city, it would be a piece of cake for them to arrange accommodation and food for her. There would be many people willing to please her!

Luckily, she was not that dumb. She still knew how to get a taxi and not an illegal cab in order to save money.

"All right, don't cry! I will contact Mr. Castle and your sister later and tell them that you will stay at my place for a few days! Also, I am not your brother- in-law, but I will not leave you alone. Call me Jeremy!" Jeremy said.

Just as Jeremy took out his cell phone and was about to call his father to ask for the contact number, Cecilia grabbed him by the arm and said, "No! No! If my father knows that I came here alone, he will break my leg! Brother-in-law, you don't know this but when my sister came to Casterwich City for you after her graduation, my father lost his temper even during the New Year. I originally came here to persuade my sister... If he knows that I didn't go back to school and came here instead, he will certainly keep me grounded! Brother-in-law, please don't tell my father! Also, don't contact my sister. She's on a business trip and will come back in a few days. If she comes back because of me and delays her work, I'll feel very guilty. She also told me not to come over, so..."

With a pleading posture, Cecilia didn't care about it and still called him brother-in-law.

"So, does she not know that you are here?" Jeremy asked and suddenly understood why she would be in such a mess.

That could be it. If she had known that Waverly was not around, she wouldn't have come here and ended up like that.

Seeing her head lowered as if she was admitting her mistake, she was just a little girl who had come so far and was quite pitiful without anyone to rely on. Jeremy put away his cell phone, took her suitcase and said, "Let's talk about all this later! It's too cold. Let's go in first! And, Cecilia, I am not your brother-in-law. I have a girlfriend. She lives with me, and..." She was pregnant!

Jeremy tried his best to explain. He hoped that she would be mentally prepared and refrain from quarrelling with Lindsay after going in!

Cecilia kept nodding to show that she understood. However, she was actually muttering in her heart: "How can that b*tch compare with my sister?" She pretended to have no objections and said, "I got it, brother-in-law! I'm just here to stay for a few days. I don't care about your adult matters!" In other words, she was a junior!

"Just provide me with food and shelter. Don't let me be homeless! As for the money, please wait until my sister comes back. Brother-in-law, please, I am not familiar with this place, and I don't dare to live in a hotel alone! You hear so much news these days about a single woman who stays in a hotel and ends up being kidnapped! I am not ugly, and I am weak..." Cecilia said.

Cecilia trembled, curled up her body and pretended to be pitiful.

Anyway, she had to stay there for a few more days!

Seeing that she still called him "brother-in-law" after he explained for so long, Jeremy was speechless. However, she was still being quite sensible, so he was lazy to correct her anymore. He nodded and they talked as they walked inside.From NôvelDrama.Org.

Hearing sounds from outside, Lindsay quickly came out with a smile on her face, "Jeremy, you are home..."

Upon seeing the woman's familiar face, she immediately pulled a long face, but at that time, Cecilia was smiling innocently and pretended that she didn't know her.

Seeing that, Jeremy explained,

"Let me introduce you both. She's my uncle's youngest daughter, Cecilia. She had some problems, so she will be staying at our house today! Lindsay, my... girlfriend. Linds, just treat her like a little sister!"

From of the corner of his eye, he glanced at the two of them and then looked at Cecilia and said, "Cecilia, Linds is pregnant. Sometimes, she will have mood swings, so please bear with her!"

Giggling, Cecilia greeted her sportingly, "Hello, Lindsay! I'm sorry to bother you, I hope that you won't dislike me!"

Cecilia did not seem unhappy at all. She even pulled Jeremy's sleeve and said,

"Hey, brother-in-law, is there any place for me to change my clothes and shoes? Also, I am so hungry. Can you cook some meat and noodles for me? I like spicy food. It's best if you can add more chilies!"

Knowing that pregnant women couldn't eat spicy food, Cecilia deliberately wanted to trouble her. She was not afraid of torturing herself with spicy food!

He didn't know that they had seen each other before. He was relieved to see that Cecilia was being sensible, but Lindsay's reaction made him feel uncomfortable. Jeremy smiled and said,

"Okay! Linds, ask the kitchen to make her a slice of steamed pork and cook her a bowl of noodles! I'll take her to the guest room first!" Carrying her suitcase, Jeremy led Cecilia upstairs.

Because of the broken heel, Cecilia

limped as she walked. She was smiling and kept looking at Lindsay from the corner of her eye. Seeing that she was upset but had no way to vent her anger, she was pleased. On her way up, she even purposely stumbled into sarmi

cried,

"Oh my!"

"Be careful!" Jeremy said.

Holding her, Jeremy looked at her feet and said, "Are you okay? Slow down! I'll help you! Go up and change your shoes!"

He totally treated her like his niece, and like a little sister. Moreover, Cecilia was indeed very haggard and pitiful. Jeremy didn't feel anything wrong with his behavior. However, Lindsay who was watching all that from downstairs, was already filled with rage.

Cecilia, on the other hand, was determined to upset Lindsay in order to seek justice for her sister. She grabbed Jeremy's arm and said politely,

"Thank you, brother-in-law! I'm sorry to trouble you!"

She kept calling him brother-in-law, always smiling and keeping up a polite demeanour. In a way, she had not only dispelled Jeremy's

suspicion but also gave him

reassurance and left him with el

of good impressions. At least in his heart, this girl had a good upbringing and good manners. She was not bad apart from the fact that she kept calling him "brother-in-law".

After changing her clothes, Cecilia went to the dining table. As she was too hungry, she began to wolf down the food Lindsay had lost her appetite watching her as she had ruined the atmosphere, but Jeremy thought that she was very innocent.

He got up, poured her a glass of water and said,

"Eat slowly, don't choke yourself. If it's not enough, I'll make some more you!" That little girl must be starved!

"Thank you, brother-in-law! You should eat too!" Cecilia said.

Although she had investigated him before, she really didn't know what he liked to eat. Cecilia gave him a bit of each dish, and ignored Lindsay completely as if she was transparent!
