Chapter 145


    “Thanks to you, I was able to prepare by reviewing the nanotechnology materials you showed me in


    advance.”

    Otherwise, she might have been harassed by Ann and embarrassed during the meeting.


    “Jackson, are we still coborating with Universe de Group on this project?”


    Jackson reached out and tousled her hair, his eyes soft like he was looking at a cherished treasure,


    “What do you think?”


    “Business is business, personal matters are personal. We have to separate them.”


    Jackson lightly agreed and then said, “Alright, let’s see Universe de Group’s sincerity. However,


    Gilly. can I discuss something with you?”


    Gilda looked up at him, her eyes like a clear pool of water, and Jackson felt his heart skip a beat.


    Some things needed to be said eventually.


    “Can you change how you address me in the future?”


    Gilda’s expression momentarily froze, then she showed a big question mark. Before she could speak,


    Jackson continued, “From now on, just call me Jack.”


    A hint of surprise flickered in Gilda’s eyes. “Jack?”


    Jackson was quite satisfied with this address. “Yes, that’s it.”


    However, Gilda felt ufortable with it.


    They had grown up together, and the term “Jackson” had already be a habit, deeply ingrained in


    her. It was hard to change it all of a sudden.


    “But it feels strange.”


    “You’ll get used to it. It will be a habit one day.”


    As he spoke, Jackson’s mood visibly improved. “Let’s go, I’ll send you home.”


    With that, Jackson took her hand, his palm warm and reassuring. It was different from the coldness


    Jensen used to convey, making her instinctively want to withdraw.


    But Jackson held her hand firmly.


    Watching the two of them leave, Jensen who was standing nearby frowned, exuding a chilly aura that


    made Lanny shiver involuntarily.


    Chapter 145


    Carefully tending to Jensen, Lanny suggested, “Mr. Harrington, shall we go back too?


    However, Jensen’s gaze remained fixed on Gilda’s direction, even after they left. The anger in him


    didn’t dissipate, eventually turning into a faint sense of sadness..


    “Lanny, do you think I was really such a jerk in the past?”


    This question caught Lanny off guard.


    If anyone was a jerk in his eyes, it was Jensen, especially with his infidelity during his marriage, which


    couldn’t be forgiven.


    But Lanny couldn’t say that.


    As he studied Jensen’s expression, he noticed a sense of loss he had never seen before.


    It was an emotion Jensen, whom he had followed for years, had never disyed. And it was all


    because of Gilda


    Carefully, Lanny spoke up. “Mr. Harrington, who is without fault? The past is the past. If you truly want


    to win back Ms. Lynch, just show her your sincerity. Her heart isn’t made of stone. She will be moved


    by your sincerity.”


    These words ignited a tiny me of hope in Jensen’s heart.


    “Do you really think so?”


    Not wanting to extinguish his hope, Lanny continued, “But, Mr. Harrington, there’s something I must


    say. In your three years of marriage with Ms. Lynch, there were many unresolved issues, especially…


    with Ms. Donovan! After all, you and Ms. Donovan… you had a child together. Ms. Harrington might not


    be able to overlook that.”


    As these words sank in.


    Jensen’s eyes dimmed.


    He couldn’t help but smile bitterly,


    “Do you think she would care?”
