Veild Bride : Love From An Enigmatic Husband

Chapter 74

Chapter 74 “Mr. Sullivan is here! Mr. Sullivan is here!” The reporters, who had been waiting for a long time, were beside themselves with excitement. Michael’s face was cold. He had his black trenchcoat on, which he had been wearing with the collars flipped up since forever. His hair was tied in a neat ponytail, and he moved as swiftly as the wind. Seeing him coming, the reporters who had been besieging them from the outside prepared to interview him. Michael stood behind a row of elite bodyguards. He looked around as his face gradually darkened. “Don’t wait here anymore, Mr. Yancey isn’t in the office. Please give him some space. Matters regarding his personal life are natural. He will make an official announcement even if you don’t hound him for it.” “The president, Mr. Yancey, and that daughter abandoned by the Yeagers, are dating. Is this true?” A male reporter asked boldly, “But they are not suitable for each other! Also, they have a grudge between them! This is what the world is most concerned about right now!” Michael’s eyes darkened. His sharp eyes swept toward the reporter. “It doesn’t matter whether or not she was an abandoned child. As long as she’s with the president, she’s the future Mrs. Yancey. Please watch your words. No one is born inferior to anyone.” “…” The male reporter was embarrassed by Michael’s criticism. Michael was a very busy man, so he had no time to waste here. His face was frigid. “Everyone, disperse. Don’t make me issue an expulsion order. The respect amongst us must be mutual; no one pries into your love lives. Behave yourselves and stop bothering us, or you may lose your livelihoods.” Having said that, he turned and left. The journalists and reporters left the place angrily before the security guards started to drive them off. Mr. Sullivan was already very domineering as an executive assistant; they could not imagine what the president would be like. They would lose their jobs if they continued to beleaguer the offices.

At that moment, the rain grew heavier. It was not easy to be a reporter. The things they had to go through, just to pry some news out, for traffic and an income… On the way back to Goldbay Estate, the heavy downpour streamed onto the windshield of the Maserati. Visibility was almost zero. For their safety, Violet calmly pulled over on the side of the road. She did not ask Jack for his approval. All she did was to say, in a soft voice, “The rain is too heavy. Let’s wait until the rain has stopped before we continue. I can’t see the road at all.” “Yeah.” Jack was leaning against the chair. The pale lips under his straight nose were painfully sensuous. “Turn on the lights,” he instructed softly. Violet found the correct button and pressed it gently. The inside of the car was suddenly as bright as day; she instinctively stretched out her hands to block her eyes. The light was simply blinding! Jack’s eyes fell on her. She had his coat on. Violet slowly lowered her arms, and their eyes met.

She stared at him with her dark eyes. His face was intimidatingly handsome under the bright light; Violet admired him from all angles. How could such an attractive man be visually disabled? The rain was still pouring outside the car, as though the sound of the rain was the only thing left in the world. Violet could not help but smile, still thinking that Jack could not see her. Jack raised his eyebrow slightly. “What are you laughing at?” Violet froze. Her eyes widened instantly. “Am I really that good-looking?” Jack asked. “You can see?” She was shocked.

“Duh? Did you think these lights are for decoration?” 1/3 16.005 . ” Chapter 74 Embarrassment was all over Violet’s face. She quickly looked ahead at the heavy downpour. She secretly took a deep breath; her heart was feeling absolutely flustered. The lights were on but she had been staring at him like a love-struck fool! Her image was ruined. Violet wanted desperately to bury her head into a hole right then. After a while, Jack withdrew his gaze casually and reached out to press a button. Music began playing; the atmosphere felt more relaxed. “I’ve walked with you on such a long road; I’ve not even realized that your eyes have turned red. As I listened to you about the changes you’ve gone through, I looked at your smile, the face I love most…” It was an oldie that both of them were very familiar with. talk The two of them sat still and kept their eyes straight forward. Everything beyond the windows of the cars was pitch black to Jack. He could not see the heavy rain and fog, but he could hear the rain. This was the reason why he never drove at night. Although there were customized lights in his car, he could not see what was outside at all. The atmosphere in the car was rather odd at the moment. They listened to the music and waited for the rain to stop… “I turned my face away, I won’t let you see me. The hidden undercurrent has become more and more obvious…”

The singer’s deep and melodious voice swirled around the cabin of the car, greatly reducing the awkwardness. The scene of them going down the mountain with their fingers intertwined surfaced unconsciously in Violet’s mind. She could not help but turn to look at his face. “Are you okay?” “Pretty okay.” Jack was as calm as still water. “It doesn’t hurt or itch. I just can’t see anything outside.” He was finally disclosing something… “Have you seen a doctor? Medical technology is very advanced nowadays.” Jack was silent. He refused to continue the conversation on the topic. Their already awkward situation fell further into a deadlock. She should not have brought up such a sensitive issue. Despite the fact that she was simply being a caring friend, she had accidentally hurt his self-esteem. After a while, she tried to change the subject. “So what should we do about the news? Must have exploded by now. “It’s an honor.” Jack was rather helpless. “We’ve made headlines again, thanks to you.” The last time they had made the headlines was when she had dumped him at the wedding. “I…” Violet turned to look at his handsome face. Nonetheless, she could not rebut him. After thinking for a moment, she explained, “I did it for you! My intentions have always been good” “But the results are terrible.” “Or… You could hold a press conference tomorrow to clarify things?” She gave him an idea. Jack gave her a solemn look. “How would you explain things to Jared? That you tricked him?” “I’ve done it already, so might as well!” She did not care. “He won’t mind, I’ll apologize to him sincerely, and it definitely won’t affect your deal with him!” “Then how would Jared explain this to the media?” Jack always thought things through thoroughly. “…” She was speechless. “Would he have to?” He looked away. “Jared has to be responsible for his own words,” he said softly. “His integrity shouldn’t be used to bear your lie.”

Was it that serious? Violet thought for a moment. “It’s not that bad, is it?” “You have to decide for yourself whether or not it is.” 2/3 Chapter 74 Why had she used this excuse to get Jared to leave? Perhaps she should have just let him stay a night, it might not have been that bad. The condition of his eyes was his business, he would have thought of a way to get around it. Violet frowned as she pondered the incident. Perhaps she had intermeddled too much. Jack asked, “Is the rain getting lighter?” He could tell by the sound. Indeed, it was much lighter. “Then shouldn’t we go home?” His deep voice was full of patience. He was not going to bring up the news anymore. Go… home? Those words sounded so warm and sweet. “Mr. President Yancey, I plan to rob you today,” She put one hand on the steering wheel, turned to him, and asked, “How much do you think you’re worth?” The corners of the man’s lips twitched. “How much is Miss Yeager lacking?” “One billion.” She said loudly. “Will you give it?” “Get it yourself,” Jack leaned back in the chair and closed his eyes leisurely. “What can you do to me? Beat me? Eat me up?” Violet was speechless. “Are you looking down at me? Do you think I can’t rob you just because I’m a girl?” She immediately dimmed the light in the car. He opened his eyes; his vision was pitch black once more. Jack had long gotten used to this feeling. For some unknown reason, he trusted this woman with all his heart. Letting her drive his car was akin to him putting his life into her hands. 3/3This is property © NôvelDrama.Org.
