Boss's Sweet Secretary novel Chapter 17

The car steadily stopped in front of the villa, and the dim street lights cast a lonely shadow on the car.

In the dead of night, the whole neighbourhood was silent except for the gust of cold wind blowing past them.

Jennifer got out of the car, followed by another figure opening the door and leaving the driver's seat.

"Jennifer." Jackson quickly caught up with Jennifer. Before she got up the stairs, he grabbed her wrist. "I have something to say to you..."

"What?" He pulled her into his arms unexpectedly as she turned around, and she slammed into his warm embrace.

Not used to such physical touch, Jennifer hurried to push him away, but Jackson stood still, his towering figure completely shrouding her.

"I came back for you—"

In the bedroom on the second floor of the luxurious villa, the lights were still on. A tall dark figure stood by the curtain and witnessed everything that was happening.

The wine glass gradually cracked in the man's clenched fingers.

"Heh... Jennifer." There was a hint of playfulness in Hans's low and hoarse voice, and a wicked look flashed in his gloomy eyes. "Very well then."

It seemed that he went too easy on her.

...

In the villa, Jennifer was surrounded by darkness.

"Jennifer, I came back for you—"

Jackson's words were still ringing in her ears.

"Back then, my parents insisted on sending me abroad to further my study. My mother even threatened me with suicide..." He paused, his magnetic voice carrying a tinge of sadness. "to stop me from seeing you again..."

"But even after all these years, I had never forgotten you, not even for a moment."

"Jennifer, give me another chance. Now I can protect you, I will not let anyone hurt you anymore!"

His words were so touching and heart-wrenching.

However, ten years had passed. They had both changed.

Especially since her heart belonged to another person now.

Even though that person had never cared about her.

The time was beyond her curfew given by Hans.

Jennifer was not sure if he was already home. She quietly took off her high heels and walked past the entryway barefooted, not wanting to disturb anyone in the villa.

She fumbled for the light switch on the wall with her slender fingers, and then with a click, the whole living room lit up in an instant.

"You still remember to come home?" Suddenly, a low and gloomy voice came from the sofa in the living room.
