"We can get our marriage certificate when your wound has recovered." Eric looked atintensely. "Will you think twice about your decision before then?" I shook my head. "I won't. You have my word."

For the next few days, he was particularly enthusiastic and cooperative when it cto treatment.

Jeremiah reached out and stopped me. Then, he cinside uninvited. Elsa followed him and rolled her eyes atwhen she was sure no one could see her before resuming her usual delicate manner.

My gaze traveled between Jeremiah and Elsa. I had to give it to her for having suseful tricks up her sleeves.
She might not have any shares or jobs in the Brown family, but she had Jack and Jeremiah under her thumb.
"None whatsoever," I responded nonchalantly. "It's our private tI now, and my fiancé and I need to Ε rest. You'll have to wait until we're free if you want to talk about work." At the next moment, a security guard arrived at the door. I secretly called him here earlier.
