Fiona seemed to be crazy. What on earth was she thinking about?
She was totally abnormal.
"Let me go."
Ignoring the woman's scream, Jeremy stared at her pitiful eyes, and said in a hoarse and magnetic voice, "Do you like Francis?"
He didn't realize his jealousy until he spoke out the question.
He knew that she was sympathetic, and that she had never been involved in any matters with any men, but he still wanted to occupy her heart little by little.
He regretted and was afraid. He shouldn't have asked this question.
Jeremy slowly released his hand and stepped away as if his foot was as heavy as lead. He was very uncomfortable.
"Wait!"
Somehow, when Fiona looked at his back, his figure seemed filled with sorrow. She thought that she must have misread it.
Except for the identity of an illegitimate child, he was really an attractive man. She saw many people bow their heads in front of him in a day. Among them there were some people who were well-known throughout the whole country. She did not know his power exactly, but he must be powerful.
But she still tried to correct him and answered "I don't like Francis. He is just one of my acquaintances."
She didn't want him to misunderstand her.
Having promised to marry him and be his wife, she would do what a wife should do.
"Really?"
Jeremy didn't dare to look back. He was nervous but pretended to ask indifferently.
Fiona felt that he was going crazy. Since she had to explained initiative to him about the relationship between her and Francis, why didn't he believe her? She walked up to him and said in a loud voice, "I swear that I have nothing to do with Francis. It was just an accident today."
Jeremy looked at her expressionlessly. After a long time, his face finally returned normal.
He reached out to touch her head longingly and after a while he reluctantly put his hand down.
"Jack!"
"Yes! I am here!"
Jack ran to her quickly with a flattering smile. He gave her the phone while explained to her, "My Lady, your phone ran out of power easily. Mr. Jeremy called you several times earlier, but the phone was out of power. He asked me to buy this phone. The one is white and Mr. Jeremy's phone is black. They are a perfect match to each other and suitable for a couple."
What he said indicated not only that they were husband and wife but also told them that they had something special for each other.
Jeremy took over the phone and glanced at him. " You talked too much. Please go out."
This was what Jack had been longing for. Being around Jeremy for so many years, he knew very well what kind of person he was. Every time he got angry, he didn't dare to take a step crossing the line, in fear that he would be smashed to pieces.
The air seemed to be frozen. Neither of them spoke.
His sharp gaze made Fiona scalp tingle.
Without Rita as a friend previously, she would be used to be alone. She didn't know how to get along well with others. She bit her lips, scratching her hair, trying to calm down.
"Are you still angry with me?" she asked first. "I'm sorry for what happened today. I didn't expect that you would come to see my at school."
"If I hadn't come to see you, would you pretended that nothing had happened today?"
His anger came back again after he got a little better. Jeremy did not know why he himself got so angry.
What should he say? She did not know what to do. Although they had gotten the marriage license and she was willing to marry him, they had nothing to do with each other except those two thin marriage certificates.
Should she tell him before he asked? She didn't think it was necessary.
Besides, it was not a good thing.
She was caught in a dilemma. Judging from Jeremy's attitude, she guessed that it was very hard for her to cheat him just by say some good words.
