Chapter 124
I hadn’t had any alcohol, but at that moment, I felt a b
bit dizzy,
He was staring at me, and that look was so intense I had nowhere to hide. I had no choice but to push forward, bracing myself. “Good evening, Dr.
Norman
“I was just at a social event earlier, and since it seemed like you were having a family dinner, I didn’t want to disturb you.”
Jeremy responded, cold as ever. “Rude people are rude no matter where they are
I was speechless.
Just then. Neva came over. “Jeremy, what are you still doing here? Hurry up and take Olga home” She was speaking to Jeremy, but her eyes were locked on me.
Jeremy shot back. “Does she have no arms or legs? Can’t she get home on her own?”
I was speechless again.
Neva’s face turned an ugly shade of green. She probably didn’t expect Jeremy to openly challenge her like pride,
e this in front of me. It was a blow to her
Jeremy didn’t let up. “If she can’t even figure out how to get home, she shouldn’t be on a blind date. She should be in a hospital getting her eyes checked.”
“Jeremy!” Neva was furious, practically spitting his full nam
He didn’t flinch. “You’re angry, but I have a temper too. If you ever trick me into another blind date like this, I won’t play along. I’ll just flip the table and walk out‘
His gaze was sharp, and his words were harsh. “If you care so much about face, maybe next time you should think twice before dragging me into
this
I could see Neva’s hands shaking. Honestly, if Juno ever spoke to me like that in front of someone else, I’d probably be just as furious….
I quietly stepped back, hoping to sneak away unnoticed. They were having a mother–son argument. I thought. What do I have to do with it?
But before I could even take a full step, Jeremy called out, “Sylvia, you really have no manners. You ignore my messages, and now that we’ve run into each other, you won’t even come over to say hello!
“Now you’re trying to leave before I’ve even finished talking? Have you forgotten I’m still your mom’s primary care doctor?”
His words froze me in my tracks. I turned around and forced a smile that felt more like a grimace. “What? No, you must have mixed something up “Oh, I’m not mistaken. A week ago, I sent you a message about something, and you never replied. Why are you talking behind my back to my
thought, “Wait, he’s still holding onto that?
Both Neva and I were speechless. I thought,
At that moment, Olga Mccoy, the girl of his blind date, showed up. The situation was getting even more awkward. I definitely didn’t want to add to the trouble. So, I decided to speak my mind.
“Are you sure you want the truth?” I asked again.
Jeremy raised an eyebrow. “I don’t like being played for a fool
“Fine” I took a deep breath. “What exactly did I say that was wrong! Don’t you have a sharp tongue? Look at how you almost made your mom pass out from anger just now.
“Isn’t it obvious that you’re not being considerate of women? You were asked to take the girl home to show some gentlemanly manners, but what did you say? Should I remind you?
“And by the way, if you’d said something nice for once, your mom wouldn’t look like sh
she just swallowed a fly-
1 said all of this in one breath, not stopping. Jeremy stood there, stunned, his eyes wide. For some reason, they were sparkling, like he was excited by what I’d just said.
To sum it up, everything I said is the truth, Of course, the truth isn’t always easy to hear. If you’re upset, I get it.
“But if I was too blunt and hurt you, I apologize. That said… I’m still standing by what I said,”
