Chapter 202
Jerome never liked to meddle in other people’s business, but when he saw the eager curiosity in Mikayla’s eyes, he replied softly, “He knows about it. He won’t do anything
over the line.”
“He just has a habit of expressing his feelings. He’ll back off in a few days,” Jerome
added.
Mikayla seemed a little disappointed and said, “Can he persist for a bit longer?”
Jerome looked at Mikayla suspiciously.
If Connor persisted for a few more days, maybe Nolan would find out about this matter. Then, he’d start to feel nervous and pay more attention to Celeste.
But she couldn’t tell this to Jerome. So, she said, “I can’t tell it to you.”
Jerome kept quiet.
The driver dropped Mikayla off at the Dragoncrest Villa.
Before she got off, Jerome said calmly, “I’ll apply the medicine on your shoulder for
with it.” you when I get back later. Don’t trouble Am
Connor mentioned it last night too.
Mikayla refused again. “It’s fine. Amy can do it.”
Jerome said with mixed emotions, “My lower back is also injured. I need a person to
let me practice massaging.”
“You might as well sew your mouth shut. Then, both our injuries would heal faster,” Mikayla retorted, then left without looking back.
Jerone frowned.
Why was Mikayla’s reaction different from what he imagined?
He wasn’t used to gaining Mikayla’s sympathy, so he tried a more reasonable
approach. But Mikayla didn’t appreciate it at all.
Women were truly difficult to comprehend.
In the afternoon, while Mikayla was resting, she received a message from Taylor.
The bait was taken.”
Mikayla became energetic. “What did you get?”
“Don’t worry. They’re still being very cautious right now. But as long as the bait is big enough, they’ll take it.”
Mikayla felt good. “Thank you for your hard work, I’ll treat you to a meal if it succeeds.
“How about today?”
“I’m sorry. My shoulder is injured, and I need to rest.”
“It’s okay. You don’t need your shoulders to eat.
“Is my presence really needed? Do I have to be there?.”
“You must come. Otherwise, you’ll regret the consequences for not coming.”
Mikayla was rendered speechless.
Fortunately, Taylor had a bit of conscience. He sent a driver to pick Mikayla up.
Her temples throbbed a few times when she saw Irene at the restaurant.
