Chapter 137 Believe Me


    Johny hadn''t gone home for three days.


    This had never happened before, and he would go home no matter howte it was.


    That night, Ceres sat on the bed and waited. She sent a message to Johny. It waste into the night


    and Johny finally came back.


    When Ceres saw Johny, he seemed to have changed into a different person with rather dark circles


    under his red eyes.


    She didn''t say anything.


    Johny slowly walked to the side of the bed and put on a faint smile, "Why are you still awake? Are you


    waiting for me?"


    He bent down and caressed Ceres'' face gently.


    "What happened? You haven''t been back for several days."


    "I have been working." Johny kissed Ceres'' forehead. "Sleep, Ceres. I''ll go take a shower first."


    As he stood up, Ceres jumped off the bed and hugged Johny from behind. "Don''t go!"


    Johny took a deep breath and asked, "What''s wrong?"


    He slowly turned around, removed Ceres''s hand, and gently held her face.


    "Can you tell me the truth?" Ceres stared at Johny.


    "This is the truth," Johny said with a tired smile.


    "No matter what happens, I can ept it. Can you tell me?"


    The past three days were the most difficult three days for Ceres. She had even dreamed that her father


    was dead. When she woke up, sheforted herself that her dream was not true. Now she thought


    that something had happened to her father.


    Johny touched Ceres''s cheeks tenderly.


    He just kept doing so in silence.


    Looking at her calm face and her determined look, he was momentarily lost in thought.


    Ceres just waited silently. She believed that Johny would tell her the truth since they had already gone


    through so many things. They were already family.


    "Ceres, nothing happened. It''s just my work. The business matters are quiteplicated. I''m very tired


    now and I don''t want to talk about it."


    Looking at Johny''s tired eyes, Ceres began to soften.


    "Believe me, no matter what happens, I will handle it. All you need to do is to believe me. Don''t worry

    about anything else."


    Johny''s low and hoarse voice was always full of persuasiveness.


    Ceres looked down and nodded. "Alright, I believe you."


    In this world, other than her father, the one she believed most was Johny.


    This time she decided to believe him again.


    "Go to bed then."


    Johny went to the bathroom. Ceres returned to the bed and watched Johny dragging his weary body


    into the bathroom.


    She felt sorry for him. She knew that she didn''t know anything except artificial intelligence and she


    couldn''t help him with business matters. The only thing that she could help was to not bother him when


    he was not working.


    When Johny came out of the bathroom, Ceres was already asleep.


    He quietly got on the bed and looked at the girl''s beautiful face, unable to fall asleep for a long time.


    --


    Ceres knew that she could not help Johny, so she began to dedicate herself to work. Perhaps by the


    time Johny returned, the robot would have already been developed.


    It turned out that Johny had already transmitted Ceres''s thoughts back to the technical department


    when they were on their honeymoon. The colleagues in the technical department had already begun to


    collect information and further research and development work.


    Ceres was absorbed in her work and got quite busy.


    Johny still left early and returnedte. Although Ceres was a little lonely by herself, she didn''t mind


    when she thought of how she had decided to trust Johny.


    One day, Ceres went back to school for something. She had a good chat with Alice, who she had not


    seen for a long time. Since this was thest year of their university life and they had never had a meal


    together, they decided to have dinner together.


    On their way to the canteen, Lily suddenly stopped.


    "What''s wrong, Lily?" Alice looked at Lily and found her staring at the person in front of her vacantly.


    Ceres took a closer look at that person. Wasn''t that Lily''s ex-boyfriend, Justin?


    Justin was ttering a beautiful woman and looked like ackey.


    Since Johny helped to beat up Justin and his friends, Ceres had never cared about this matter again.


    "Let''s go." Lily did not want to meet Justin, thinking that such a scene was embarrassing.


    The girl beside Justin was dressed in famous brands. It was obvious that she was a rich girl, which


    made Lily feel ashamed of her inferiority.


    "Why do you wanna avoid him? He was the one who made mistakes, not you." Ceres could not hold


    back her anger.


    As she spoke, she directly walked in front of Justin and the beautiful woman, blocking their way.


    Justin trembled when he saw Ceres. The helper she had called overst time beat him to the hospital


    and he had to limp for a long time.


    "N, let''s go somewhere else."


    The beautiful woman was called N. Her eyes were charming and she looked superior. Ceres had


    seen this kind of superior manner many times in Mary, so she felt disgusted about N in her heart.


    "Who is she? Your ex-girlfriend?" N crossed her arms and looked at Ceres narrowly, but she did not


    directly attack the red spots on Ceres''s face like the others. "She looks not bad. Why did you break


    up?"


    "No. This is not my ex-girlfriend. I don''t know her at all." Justin pulled N to leave.


    But Ceres blocked their way. "You''re so gutless! I think you are so capable to have hooked up with a


    rich girl. It turns out that you are just a coward."


    Justin was somewhat irritated by Ceres'' words. "Don''t make trouble for no reason. Wasn''t the matter


    Ceres tilted her head and gave a mocking smile. "Yes, it''s over. I''m here for her, not for you."


    She then turned to N.


    "For me? I don''t know you."


    In the school, everyone knew N, the apple of the Yoders'' eyes. She and Mary used to be called the


    campus belle of the Imperial University.


    Mary was arrogant and no one could hook up with her. But N changed boyfriends frequently. Justin


    was already her N-generation boyfriend.


    "Can''t we be friends though we didn''t know each other before? I just wanna tell you," Ceres pointed at


    Lily, who was standing behind her. "This is Justin''s ex-girlfriend. They are childhood sweethearts. They


    once swore to get on in the world together. But in the end, Justin couldn''t stand a hard life anymore so


    he abandoned her. Do you think such a man can be epted?"


    Justin pointed at Ceres and said angrily, "Don''t nder me! I don''t know you at all. Fuck off! Great


    barkers are no biters!"


    When Lily heard Justin saying that he did not know her, Lily''s heart was broken.
