I couldn’t drive Jared away because he had Ashton to vouch for him. Besides, Summer had developed a dependency on him. Except for Jackson’s suggestion, we had no other way.
I nodded in agreement. “That’s the only thing we can do. You studied psychology in M Country. If you meet any professionals in this field, please let me know.”
“I understand. I think of Macy’s child as mine, and I love Summer as much as you do.” Jackson smiled and sounded relax. It seemed that his hostility had disappeared with his illness.
Everything felt like a dream. Back then, he was fixated on fighting for the child’s custody that he even laid his hands on Ashton.
Now that the nightmares were gone, the journey would be smooth for the rest of the days.
After sending Jackson off, I packed my stuffs and left for the airport.
However, right when I reached the door, a car from the Moore family drove here and parked by the roadside. Soon after, Emery got off the car hurriedly.
“You’re going on a business trip, right?” She didn’t care about pleasantries and went straight to the point.
“Yeah.” I looked at her in bewilderment.
Ashton gave me the invitation card in J City last night. How did she know about this?
“Good. Let’s go together.” She quickly got into my car and sat in the seat furthest away from the door. Seeing how I was still confused, she urged, “Quick! If not, I’m going to get caught.”
Upon saying her words, she pulled me into the car.
“Drive!” Emery instructed the chauffeur and gripped my arm tightly, as if I would kick her out of the car.
As the chauffeur drove, she kept checking the rearview mirror now and then.
She heaved a long sigh of relief and let go of my arm after we drove for a distance.
