The man didn’t look at her, with a casual expression, “Why hesitate? Nelson’s call is just to ask about your situation, just tell him.”
This question made Paulette suddenly wake up.
Yeah, she has already moved on from Nelson.
So he called…what’s there to avoid?
In front of Jeremiah, Paulette called Nelson on the phone.
The phone was answered after just two rings, the man’s voice sounded tense, “Where are you?”
She glanced at Jeremiah and said, “Nelson, what’s up?”
“Where were you?”
Nelson said, “I want to see you, right now!”
Paulette was used to his commanding tone, if it were before, she would obediently give the address. But today she just stayed silent for a moment, then said lightly, “Just say what you have to say, it’s already late and not convenient.”
“Is it inconvenient or are you not at Fromond?”
Did he know?
Nelson didn’t hear her speak, and he couldn’t help but sneer, “Paulette, you’re something else. You threw a tantrum to this extent, didn’t even go

to work at the company, and actually ran all the way to Crireton. What, are you sure I would come looking for you?”
Paulette’s lips trembled slightly, and her throat felt tight.
“Speak up!”
The man’s voice was harsh and full of anger, Paulette took a deep breath and calmly said, “You’re overthinking it.”
“I was already 21 years old, should have the right to decide where to work and live on my own, didn’t tell you in advance because you didn’t have time to listen to me.”
He was busy dating Patricia, and every time Paulette tried to speak up, he interrupted her.
“I’ve settled down in Crireton, you don’t need to worry, let alone…come find me.”
Her voice was clear and crisp, with a forceful tone that seemed a bit
harsh.
It’s like she couldn’t care less whether Nelson comes to see her or not.
Nelson didn’t say anything for a while, there was only his heavy breathing on the other end of the line. Paulette’s hand holding the phone tightened slightly, her gaze unconsciously shifting to the man opposite her, and she whispered, “Do you have anything else? If not, I’d like to rest.”
“I was in Crireton.”

Paulette opened the window to let in some cool breeze, took a deep breath, and thought, If she stayed in Crireton in the future, let that caring father stay in her mind like a mountain.
That’s it.
In the future, she won’t have any illusions about him anymore.
Jeremiah drove steadily, taking in all the girl’s reactions beside him. He didn’t disturb her, just quietly turned up the air conditioning.
Twenty minutes later, the car stopped in front of a hotel.
Paulette undid her seatbelt and glanced inside.
She turned her head and said, “How about… you wait for me in the car? I have something to tell him.”
Jeremiah’s eyes flickered slightly, and it took him two seconds to say, “Hmm.”
Paulette breathed out quietly and smiled, “Then you don’t go outside, it’s cold. I’ll try to come out quickly.”
She might not know, but this kind of care means a lot to Jeremiah.
