Chapter 718
Soon, the bowl in front of Jeremy was full. Cecilia was eating with gusto. Jeremy was stunned, while Lindsay was enraged.
Cecilia didn't act like an outsider at all. Jeremy looked at her and could only smile. He was actually not disturbed with her being herself. Cecilia enjoyed the meal a lot, but Lindsay did not enjoy it at all. On top of that, she had also completely lost her appetite.
After eating, Cecilia was too tired, so she went back to her room early.
In the guest room, after cleaning up, she was ready to bathe and rest early. She walked around in the bathroom and was ready to take a bath. Suddenly, she remembered something and went out of the room again.
She crept to the master bedroom. She stood at the door for a while. At that time, in the room, Jeremy and Lindsay had just entered the room and changed their clothes. The two were talking, but their voices were not loud. Cecilia vaguely heard their voices, but it was not clear, so she hesitated.
Were they talking about her? Was it good or bad?
Should she enter the room, or not?
While she was thinking about it, she heard a female voice, which was obviously not very happy,
"How long will she stay here? In this situation... it's awkward to live together! Jeremy, haven't you made it clear to the other side? When are you going to marry me? Or, we can register first!"
Besides, it was obvious that the woman was not a good person. She must have planned something if she came and lived there!
"It has been made clear! Waverly also has someone she likes. Neither of us had any intention to get married. It's just that our parents were urging us to get back together upon their own wills. Don't think too much. Linds, haven't we agreed? It's not that I don't want to marry you, but look at the situation now. You're pregnant and my mother doesn't agree with it. She's not in good health and I don't want to irritate her. My family register is still abroad. Whether it's a wedding or just a marriage registration, I would still have to go back and persuade my father first!" Jeremy said.
Jeremy turned around, held Lindsay's hand, and hugged her. He felt very sorry and said,
"I know that you feel wronged, but my family can't accept you for now. You should also give them some time to accept you! After the child is born, I think they won't have any objections! I know that you have sacrificed a lot for me. I owe you a wedding, and I will definitely repay you! My marriage with Waverly has always been treated as an unfinished business, and it will ruin the relationship between the families if we are being too hasty. Now is really not the right time! The Castle family and my family are old friends. Cecilia is just a little girl, and she won't get involved in the matters between me and her sister! It will take only three to five days, or at most ten days. She won't stay here for a long time!"
"Then why don't you give her some money and ask her to stay outside? She can even stay in a five-star hotel! Why must you let her stay at our house?" Lindsay asked.
Lindsay was half-convinced, as she still felt a bad omen, as if something was going to happen, and it made her feel very uneasy.
While listening outside of the door, Cecilia gritted her teeth. What a shameless b*tch. She stole her brother-in-law and wanted to drive her away! "Don't be like this! Isn't she in trouble? It's not easy for a little girl to stay outside, and our house also has empty rooms. What's more, we still have a relationship with her! If anything happens to her, we will not be able to explain it to the Castle family! I think she is quite sensible. A little girl may not have seen much of the outside world. She's very sincere and sporting. Don't bother about her too much! The both of you can each just do your own thing and tolerate each other for a few days. When Waverly comes back from her business trip, I'll send her over to her! Why should you fuss with a little girl? You don't quite like her, do you?" Jeremy asked.
As he said that, Jeremy was also shocked that she had such a big reaction even though he had verified Cecilia's identity and that she was just a guest.
When she was thinking about whether she should complain to him about what had happened before, there was a sudden knock on the door. The next second, the door was opened slowly. Cecilia came in slowly and lowered her head. She begged pitifully,
"Brother-in-law, I'm sorry for disturbing you. I don't know how to turn on the water heater. Can you help me?"
Jeremy let go of Lindsay, turned around and said, "Okay! I'll come!"
Without waiting for Lindsay's reply, the two of them had already walked out of the room. Immediately, her anger began to rise again after calming down for a bit.
In the guest room, Jeremy taught Cecilia how to use the water heater very seriously. She was also being very serious and very polite. When it was done, she did not forget to walk Jeremy out of her room and thanked him again.
"Rest early! If you need me, just call out for me. You're welcome!" Jeremy said.
Jeremy still had a good impression of this little girl.
Just when he returned to the room
and before he even said a word to Lindsay, Cecilia came over again.
That time, she asked for a pair of et
slippers. Then, Jeremy also felt that they were not treating her with due hospitality, so he asked Lindsay to help her prepare some daily necessities. Material © of NôvelDrama.Org.
That night, Cecilia made up all kinds of excuses to go over. Every time, when they were discussing important matters, they were interrupted. Lindsay was bothered so much that even when she lay down, she was still filled with anger.
It was a busy day. Soon, it would be time to get off work.
While tidying up the desk, Victoria habitually turned the small rotating box on the table. Looking at the few shaking memos, she casually took one out. On the simply decorated wood stick, there was a memo with the word 'late' on it, written in large letters!
She would go home later that day! What should she do?
Resting her chin on her hand, just when she was wondering, her cell phone suddenly rang. Was it Mr. Jordyn?
Her heart suddenly missed a beat. She used to treat this elder like her own uncle, but since Trevor reminded her about him at the wedding, she somehow felt estranged from him.
After pausing, she answered the call and pretended to be relaxed but busy, "Hello, Mr. Jordyn, it's me!"
After chatting for a while, when she heard that he was leaving, she sounded disappointed and didn't feel good either. Her eyes fell on the drawing box on the table. That time, she did not refuse,
"All right! Star Terrace Hotel! I'll give Mr. Jordyn a farewell! This meal must be my treat!"
After hanging up the phone, Victoria specially ordered some local products online. She went to the store to pick them up and then rushed to the hotel.
In the high-class restaurant, classical music was playing. They ordered exquisite meals and talked happily. Actually, judging by the dishes, Victoria also knew that he cared about her. The dishes on the table were basically all her favorites.
They kept talking until eight o'clock, and then they got up and walked out.
At the entrance, the restaurant was having a special event where each customer was given a rose. Clarence naturally gave it to her. When they were out of the restaurant, he put the coat he was holding onto Victoria's body.
"Thank you, I'm not..." Victoria wanted to say that she was not cold!

Victoria wanted to push it away, but Clarence held it down before she could do so and said, "Put it on! It's cold at night, and you are most afraid of the cold! You are already married, and I may not be able to take care of you in the future!"
