I realized that I was close to him, but I didn’t smell alcohol. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
He was sober. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I couldn’t guess so I looked at him and said, “brother in law, don’t talk nonsense. You love Molly. You can’t love me in your life. You said it yourself.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“…” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Sean was a little distracted by what I said. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
He looked at me and his black eyes were deeper. “Yes, I used to think so, but I was wrong.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“President Jessop, I can’t live with her. If she goes to jail, I’ll come back to you.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
My eyes were fixed on Sean. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
At that moment, I saw the hesitation in Sean’s eyes. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I smiled sarcastically, “President Jessop, I’m innocent, but she deserves it. When I was in prison, you didn’t care but frame me. You were heartbroken when she was in prison. Don’t you already have an answer in mind?” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“No, I…” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
When Sean seemed to hesitate to say something, a hand pushed him away in front of my eyes! <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Sean was distracted so he was pushed away. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
It was Daniell. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
The next second, Daniell took me behind him and said, “what is president Jessop going to do to my girlfriend?” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“Girlfriend?” Sean frowned when he heard it. He looked at me and asked, “are you his girlfriend?” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
When I hesitated, Daniell grabbed me in his arms. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
His arms were very strong. I could hear his heart beating by leaning against his arms. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I looked up and said to Sean, “Yeah, I’m his girlfriend. President Jessop, I’m just the trash you don’t want.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I purposely belittled myself so that Sean would not hurt Daniell. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“Oh, you just said that if she goes to jail, you will come back to me. So you have a boyfriend?” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Sean was standing there. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I saw sadness in his eyes. I didn’t know what to say for a moment. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
At this point, Daniell said, “President Jessop, everyone knows that you and Molly are getting married. Please don’t hurt June any more. She’s been bruised all over by you. There’s no place for her to get hurt again.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Daniell’s words made my heart even worse. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
He knew me. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
He was talking about me now. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I was really bruised by Sean. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Sean looked at me with a twinge of pain in his eyes. He seemed to understand something. He turned around and left. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Daniell didn’t hold me after Sean left. He put down his hand and said, “I’m sorry, that was a special situation.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I shook my head. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I knew Daniell was good to me. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
He asked me why I was here, and I told him about Ryan. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“I’ll fire him when I get back,” Daniell said angrily. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I had no objection. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
After all, it was not good for such a person to stay in the company. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
In the second half of the annual meeting, Daniell was always with me to eat. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I saw him hesitate to say something, so I asked him, “what do you want to say?” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Daniell just told me that the client just came from Sean’s company. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
In fact, Jessop Family didn’t want to let others know that Sean and Molly were going to get married, but Carter Family leaked the news, so Jessop Family was dissatisfied. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
But it was because there was something wrong with Carter Family and the stock had been falling for months. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
In order to stabilize the situation, Carter Family released the news and let the stock price rise. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
It made me worry about Sherry. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
But I didn’t mention her and asked Daniell, “why tell me this?” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“Do you think I’m stupid?’ Daniell looked at me. He narrowed his eyes and smiled. “I want to win your heart in a fair way.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Daniell was really good. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
At that moment, my heart even wavered. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Although I may not love him the same, I could repay him with my whole life. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I hid this feeling in my heart. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
The holiday began less than half a month after the annual meeting. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I didn’t have a home. New Year was very cruel for me. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Because on TV and online, everyone was reunited with his family, but my family didn’t welcome me. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Plus the last time Molly was in prison, Carter Family hated me. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Even if Sherry asked me to go back, I didn’t want her to be embarrassed. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
The day before New Year’s day, I got up in the morning as usual on weekends. I cleaned up the house and wanted to buy some food from outside. After all, all the shops would be closed for a few days after the new year. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I was about to go out when the phone rang. It was Daniell. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
When I answered the phone, he asked me, “where are you going for the new year?” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“At home.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I told him the truth. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Daniell said, “then come downstairs. I’ll take you somewhere.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“Ah? Don’t you go home?” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I was a little surprised. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
But Daniell insisted that I go downstairs. I changed my clothes and closed the door. Then I went downstairs. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Daniell was driving. I didn’t think much. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
But I found the car on the highway! <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
There was a toll station ahead! <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“Where are we going?” I was stunned. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“You don’t have a place for new year. I’ll take you to my hometown. There’s a lot of fun around my hometown.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Daniell said as he drove. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“Your hometown?” I was stunned. “No, I didn’t bring anything.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I suspected Daniell wanted to show me his parents. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I didn’t bring anything. I didn’t even get my clothes. I couldn’t go like this. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Daniell knew what I was thinking, “don’t worry. I won’t let you go to my house. You stay in the hotel.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
But I was still worried. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
But no matter what I said, Daniell didn’t want to take me back. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I felt like I was cheated by him. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
But I couldn’t go back myself. I could only think about staying there for one day. I would be back in two days. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Daniell’s hometown was not far from York. There were so many people returning home on the new year’s Eve that the expressway was very congested. It took us more than eight hours to get to Daniell’s town. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Daniell put me in a hotel. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
When I got out of the car, Daniell opened the trunk and handed me a purple suitcase. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“What is this?” I looked at the suitcase. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“Luggage for you.” Daniell explained. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I took my suitcase to the hotel and Daniell left. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I really admired Daniell’s carefulness when I unpacked. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
He was really careful. He prepared me pajamas, slippers and some new clothes to change. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
And even underwear. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I couldn’t help blushing when I looked at several sets of underwear inside. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
After all, for the first time, a man bought these things for me. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
