Farewell My Stepfather novel Chapter 40

Chapter40

Jeremiah looked at her face, raised his eyebrows slightly, and said, “Get ready, I’ll take you to meet someone.”

Paulette looked up, “Who’s there?”

“A very skilled jade restoration expert.”

The man took a sip of water and said, “He used to specialize in artifact restoration at the Salituna Museum before he retired, he was a veteran in the field. Maybe your mother’s jade pendant can be fixed.”

Paulette was stunned for a moment, then came the ecstasy.

She didn’t know what to do, but Jeremiah had already come up with a

solution!

“Jeremiah, you’re so amazing!” Paulette exclaimed, patting her face excitedly, and then stood up saying, “Thank you so much! I’m going to change clothes now!”

The girl bounced back to her room.

Jeremiah gave a little smile, then got up to clean up the dishes.

Paulette picked out a decent outfit and put on a light makeup to show

respect.

When she came out, she bumped into Jeremiah on the opposite side. In that moment of eye contact, she was captivated by his deep gaze for two seconds, then quickly looked away. “Um… I’m ready, let’s go.”

Jeremiah grunted and let her walk ahead.

Entered the elevator, Paulette stood by the door, pressed the floor button herself, then held her bag with both hands, heart pounding, not sure what

else to say.

Suddenly, a shadow fell over his head, and the man’s voice was low, “Paula.”

Paulette held her breath, “What, what’s wrong?”

“Shy?”

Can you say that?

Jeremiah’s gaze lingered on her face for two seconds, with a broader smile, “You can be more relaxed when you’re with me.”

Wasn’t she comfortable?

Is it?

Who does this man think he is, strutting around with a cocky face! He doesn’t even have to do anything to charm people!

Paulette thought to herself, but said out loud, “I’m fine… When I’m quiet, I’m just thinking, you wouldn’t understand.”

Jeremiah watched as her cheeks turned rosier and rosier, feeling an itch in

his palms.

I really wanted to pinch.

So cute.

He flicked his fingers and eventually pushed down that feeling.

The elevator reached the basement, and the ambiguous atmosphere ended. Paulette didn’t see the regret in the man’s eyes and sighed quietly.

“What’s wrong?”

“I didn’t prepare a gift,” she said with a sad face, “It’s rude to ask for help without bringing a gift.”

Jeremiah thought something big was happening, so he rubbed her head and said, “I’m ready.”

“Really?”

“Um.”

“You are too kind!”

Paulette was so excited she wanted to give him a bear hug, but then she realized it wasn’t right and awkwardly pulled back, “Um… not a good idea.”

Jeremiah: ”

…

Not suitable?

That’s perfect.

Paulette didn’t see the expectation in his eyes, and said to herself, “Jeremiah, if this thing works out, I’ll treat you to a big meal!”

Jeremiah couldn’t help but laugh, “Then I’ll just wait for Ms. Davenport to take care of me.

“No questions…!” and so on!

How did he end up raising him?

She clearly said, Let’s have a big meal!

Paulette wanted to argue, but the man had already walked ahead with the gift. She pursed her lips and hurried to catch up.
