Gorgeous Couple’s Sweet Love novel Chapter 138

After Victoria left, I felt very agitated. I didn't know the meaning of my persistence from the beginning, but then I had worked hard for more than half a year, but the Heaney was still standing beside the Dunns.

There was not a single trace of damage on them.

It was only now that I realized that Benjamin had disappeared for half a year, and that he had been expelled from the Dunn family by his own grandfather.

Where had he been for the past six months?

I thought back to what he said that night. "What do you want me to do? To lose all my reputation or to lose everything?"

He had lost all his reputation and everything else.

Upon knowing that Benjamin had disappeared, I could no longer focus on my work. As such, I left it all to Kayla and went to Ireland.

Emy started to talk when she was ten months old, though I couldn't make out most of the things she said.

However, she could pronounce "mommy" pretty well.

In the past half a year, September had been very good. I had a video chat with her every week, with Joel sitting aside without making a sound. His only wish was to see September safe and sound.

September was right, Patrick gave her a new life.

I got a call from Jeanie after staying in Ireland for a few days. She said, "Emma, I'll retire from the army in two months!"

I was stunned. "When did you even enlist?" I asked.

"Well, the college examination turned out to be a mess, so I enlisted. Come and pick me up at the station when I get back there."

Although I haven't contacted her for two years, Jeanie had been protecting me in the past. I thought about it and said, "Okay, call me to tell me the exact time."

After hanging up the phone, I began to think about other things. Recently, the eyes of Benjamin were always on my mind.

Cruel, indifferent, lightless.

I stayed with Emy for two more days and I returned to City B. Then I devoted myself to work. However, Zack left the whole company to Bob and returned to New Zealand to deal with something that involved his inheritance.

Besides, Laurelie... She ran away half a year ago again.

At first, Stanley was still in the mood to catch her back with all his resources, but in the end, he gave up that idea.

Laurelie had been on the run for half a year, so she and Zack did not make any progress. I didn't know what she was thinking, but she said that she would try to get close to him. She was serious about her words.

But what was Laurelie waiting for?

Near December, I returned to the city where I used to live. I picked up Jeanie in military uniform in the train station. She put her luggage on the ground and swirled around with a smile. "How do I look?"

Jeanie's personality had changed a lot with the growth of her age. Compared with her previous self- centered attitude towards others, she was now much more easy-going and was always smiling. I heard that being in the military did that to people.

"You look good, very good, in fact," I said with a smile.

Jeanie smiled, and I asked my assistant to help her with the luggage. She took my arm and said with admiration, "You've done pretty well for yourself! You've even got an assistant!"

"Well, I've run a small company."

I said perfunctorily to her, and then asked, "Are you going home now?"

Jeanie looked at me earnestly and said with a smile, "Yeah, Dad just called me and said that he wanted me to go home with you for dinner."

"Are you gonna go back to school?"

Jeanie was annoyed when she heard this. She was depressed and said, "Yeah, I kinda have to. I'll find an intern job next year."

"You should focus on the study when you still can," I said.

Jeanie suddenly asked, "Where is your company?"

I explained, "In City B, the company is in its promotion period."

"Then I will come to City B to seek shelter with you later."

I promised, "No problem, but you have to finish your studies."

Her dream was to be police like I was, but now she wanted to work for me. The affairs of the world are unpredictable, let alone her dream.

Returning to the neighborhood brought back all the memories in the past, the gossip neighbors, and Julienne, who loved to hit me and scold me. I thought I'd go visit her tomb the next day.

My mother who hated my guts.
