Let's Get Married novel Chapter 785

"You're threatening me." She says exactly the same as Pehry after he hears it.

Alfred smiles, "Even so, what can you do?"

"I can't do anything." Jasmine stands on the spot, neither humble nor arrogant. "I know that for someone of your status, I'm nobody. But, at least, I won't make compromises in this case."

Jasmine says firmly, as if she has the backbone to face a mountain collapsing in front of her without turning pale. Alfred distains her, but now he can't help but ask, "What supports you to be so persistent?"

What support her?

Jasmine thinks for a moment. Nothing supports her. As long as Alfred gives an order, she may lose everything. But....

"If I give up, I will be unworthy of Pehry's trust." Even if she doesn't know that Pehry has accepted Alfred's request for her, she is satisfied with what Pehry has done for her.

Alfred is shocked. Back then, he made things difficult for Pehry's mother. Although she resisted as well, her sorrow perseverance was completely different from Jasmine's.

Jasmine has an aura of tenacity.

No matter what, Alfred appreciates it very much, but....

"You should blame your background. No matter what, my family can't accept you. Give up as soon as possible. I mean it."

Jasmine's mood darkens when Alfred mentions her family background. However, she quickly returns to normal. Even though things have already come to it, she does not forget to say, "Sorry to bother you. Pehry is waiting for me. I'll leave first."

After she finishes, she leaves the room at a brisk pace, just as how she comes.

Alfred looks thoughtfully in Jasmine's direction.

...

After Jasmine leaves the mansion, she goes straight back to Pehry's villa. She does not tell him she will come in advance today. No one is at home, so it is very quiet.

Jasmine has been in school for the past few days, and seldom returns to this place. Normally, even if no one stays at home, the property management will have someone to clean it. Chefs can be called for door-to-door service.

But now....

The table in the living room is covered with dusts. The curtains are closed on both sides. It seems that no one has touched it for a long time. In the refrigerator of the dining room, there is hardly on fresh vegetable or fruit left.

How to put it? In short, what a lifeless house it is!

If Jasmine hasn't known that there are people living in this place and it used to be very lively, she would even think that she is in a newly renovated house.

Standing in this luxurious villa, Jasmine feels a sense of desolation.

He hasn't been home these days, has he?

Jasmine thinks so and lets out a long sigh. Thinking what Alfred has said harshly to her today, Jasmine believes that he must have made things difficult for Pehry as well.

Pehry should be having a hard time. Not only does he have to work hard, but he also needs to show consideration for Jasmine's feelings.

Suddenly, the anger that Jasmine has been hiding was gone. She feels sorry for what Pehry is experiencing.

Thinking in the point of Pehry, Jasmine realizes that Pehry does all those things for her.

The driver has worked for Pehry since he was in his early twenties. It is the first time he has seen such a gloomy look on Pehry's face.

Is Pehry alone?

Of course.

However, Pehry has never be in a constant state of sadness. He has a demand for life. This demand keeps him falling into this kind of continuous negative emotion so that Pehry can control his own life.

But now it has gone. Pehry's life is beyond his control.

This kind of decadence is completely restrained in front of outsiders. Only when Pehry is alone in the middle of the quiet night will it be released without restraint.

Hearing this, Pehry waves his hand and says, "Go. It's getting late. Hurry up and go home to be with your wife and children."

The driver becomes even sadder, but he understands that he cannot enlighten Pehry or keep him company. It is not easy to enlighten someone like Pehry, a great figure.

After the driver leaves, Pehry is the only one left in the big room. That strong sense of loneliness instantly overwhelms him. Alcohol swims around his body. Pehry has no strength, but he wants to do something.

After pondering for a moment, he forces himself to walk to the dining hall, wanting to have a bottle of ice water. But he is surprised to see the sticker on the refrigerator.

There are a few lines of neat and elegant characters on the yellow and eye-catching sticker.

"I've been here today. I can't help but clean up the mess at home. There's juice in the fridge that I squeezed. I cannot guarantee it tastes good, but it's good for your health."

Pehry tears off the note. As he looks at those characters, tears suddenly spring to his eyes. Tightening his jaw, Pehry presses the note against his chest. In an instant, the light above his head shines into the bottom of his heart.
