Chapter 144


    “Take care of yourself when you get there, and remember, don’t agree to sign any contract for the time


    being.”


    With that said, he tipped her chin and pressed his lips against hers.


    As he deepened the kiss, Skr felt slightly breathless, and the air around them seemed to sizzle with


    electricity.


    At least half an hour had passed when they finally pulled apart from each other.


    After that, Tobias returned to being cold and domineering.


    Belonging ? N?velDram/a.Org.


    As Skr bid him goodbye, she felt slightly reluctant to part with him. Unwittingly, she had begun to crave


    hispanionship.


    Early the next morning, Skr dragged her LV suitcase to the train station alone.


    Standing among the crowd at the train station, she asionally nced at the signboard of W Province


    station, her youthful and delicate features attracting a lot of attention.


    “What a coincidence. You’re also leaving today?” A voice Skr would forever recognize reached her


    ears.


    Turning around, she saw Jeremy in designer clothes with his hair parted to the side and a pair of shades


    resting on his nose bridge.


    “Are you stalking me?” Skr cast Jeremy a displeased look.


    Jeremy shrugged and stuffed one hand into his pocket. “Don’t be so paranoid. I don’t have time to stalk


    you. Didn’t you know that Director Daryl Williams personally picked me for the supporting role? The


    whole university knows about it.”


    Skr didn’t hear anything about Jeremy joining the cast.


    However, she had read the original novel before and indeed, Jeremy fit the image of the second male


    lead. She had to admit that Daryl really did have an eye for casting.


    Despite that, she didn’t think she was suited to be the female lead.


    “Why are you still taking the train instead of flying there when you’re so loaded?” Skr mocked him.


    Her resentment toward him hadn’t subsided yet. Tobias said he wasn’t going to im back the three


    million, so all that money was still Jeremy’s to keep. Bitterness swelled in her every time she thought


    about this.


    It was all because of her own stupidity back then. All she wanted was to save Jeremy’s life, which was


    the reason why she failed to see the b*stard that he was.


    Jeremy could tell that Skr still didn’t know he had been forced to return all the money. But he didn’t


    dare to tell her for fear that she would confront Tobias andnd him in hot soup.


    His expression turned unsightly as he refuted, “I could say the same about you. Aren’t you with Tobias?


    Why are you taking the train to N Province instead of a first-ss flight?”


    Skr rolled her eyes at Jeremy. “This is none of your business.”


    When the train arrived at the station, Skr dragged her suitcase and walked as quickly as her legs


    could carry her, wanting to keep a distance from Jeremy. s, she realized that she and Jeremy were


    sharing the same bunk only after boarding the train.


    Jeremy was delighted though. After stowing away his luggage, he wore a wistful look on his face and


    sighed. “I still remember that you wanted to travel with me. You also said that we should visit the beach if


    we had money. Do you think this counts as us traveling together?”


    Ignoring his words, Skr put on her earphones to block out his voice. Mentioning their past was the


    greatest insult to her. A protective shell had long since formed over her heart. As a result of that incident,


    she knew she shouldn’t invest all her time and effort into a rtionship because the more she loved, the


    easier she could get hurt.


    Being with Tobias required her to constantly keep her guard up and be prepared to get kicked to the curb


    at any time. Sometimes, she couldn’t help but wonder if long-term rtionships even existed in this


    world. The number of divorce cases recorded in the Civil Affairs Bureau was enough of an answer.


    Jeremy offered her a peanut butter sandwich and said, “This is for you. You probably haven’t eaten yet


    since you came here so early.”


    As Skr took the sandwich, she found it ludicrous. She was allergic to peanut butter, but Jeremy didn’t


    seem to know that even after being with her for so long. However, she could remember all of his


    preferences.


    At the moment, Jeremy was squinting at the ring hickey on Skr’s neck, his expression turning ugly.


    “Why did you turn me down back then? And now you’ve suddenly be so wanton?”
