Chapter 118: Chapter 118: What if I also like Jeremy Norman?
Translator: 549690339
Michael Gallagher’s jaw tightened slightly, his face showed displeasure, and his eyes were filled with gloom.
It seemed that what Jake Leaford said about the Thompson family having a favorable impression of Jeremy Norman was true.
He tightened his fingers, tightened his thin lips, and said lightly: “I don’t know.”
“Although we’ve been married for three years, we don’t understand each other, and neither does Jeremy Norman.”
Not understanding each other after three years of marriage?
Damian Thompson had a smile in his eyes but didn’t immediately respond.
Under Damian’s scrutinizing gaze, Michael Gallagher added: “If they like each other, there should be no problem being together.”
Thinking of what Molly Walker said about falling in love with someone else, Michael Gallagher gave a self-mocking smile – being cuckolded within a marriage, it seemed it wouldn’t be a happy ending anyway.
Joshua Thompson on the side was annoyed by what he heard.
What did he mean by there being no problem when they liked each other — did that mean he and Molly Walker had not liked each other to begin with?
It’s true; how could a man who went in and out with other women while married be willing to genuinely love his own wife?
And as for Jeremy Norman, at least he had an upright attitude, which was undoubtedly better than Gallagher’s.
Joshua Thompson smirked and nonchalantly said: “Of course Molly and Jeremy like each other.”
He cast a sidelong glance at his brother Damian: “Brother, you asked the wrong person! How can Mr. Gallagher, who never gets involved in the affairs of other people, understand these things? I think we should meet other members of the Norman family and finalize all the necessary arrangements.”
This was to provoke Michael Gallagher. Sure enough, upon hearing this, the color in Gallagher’s eyes deepened.
No man would be happy for their ex to find someone else so quickly.
Those who were also stimulated by this, besides Michael Gallagher, included Gillian Thompson.
Originally, she had only listened as a gossip, but when she heard about meeting their parents and finalizing the arrangements, Gillian Thompson couldn’t help but be restless.
“Third brother, does Jeremy Norman know about this? Maybe he’s not ready to commit so quickly.”
Joshua Thompson didn’t think much of it and sneered: “I already asked, he said as long as the Fourth Sister is willing, their entire family can come to
Sunnydale City.”
The whole family coming to Sunnydale City?
What kind of status did the Norman family have? Not only in Capital City but throughout the country and the whole world, they had their own businesses. Being engaged in both politics and business, they were not to be underestimated.
The whole family coming to Sunnydale City was a concept of full sincerity!
Gillian Thompson became extremely jealous and furious!
For over twenty years, she never liked any man because she didn’t think highly of them. Only Jeremy Norman was the one for whom, at first sight, she wanted to spend a lifetime with.
She didn’t want to miss out and give up on Jeremy Norman.
“Brother, second brother, third brother.” Gillian Thompson looked at the people who simultaneously looked up at her; she bit her lovely lips, “What if I also like Jeremy Norman?”
Everyone:
“I know it’s sudden to say this, but if I don’t say it now, I’m afraid I’ll never have the chance. Second brother, third brother, do you remember what you said to me before? You said that if I meet someone I like and they don’t like me, you would find a way to make him like me, until I don’t like him anymore. So, is that promise still valid?” Saying this, she took a deep breath, her eyes a little moist, “Now, does that agreement still stand?”
How could they possibly answer that?
Indeed, they had made such a promise, but that was many years ago, and it was just a naive statement from the three siblings. Who knew that time would change and she would fall for Jeremy Norman?
And Jeremy Norman’s attitude is very clear now – he only likes Ivy Thompson, and he would marry no one else.
Even if they tried, there was no way for them to make Jeremy Norman fall for her.
Gillian Thompson suddenly confessing her love for Jeremy Norman surprised everyone.
Seeing the expressions on their faces, Gillian Thompson gave a self-deprecating smile.
Nicholas Thompson couldn’t stand this subtle detail and blurted out: “The Norman family does intend to form an alliance by marriage with our
Thompson family, but Ivy Thompson may not be the best candidate.”
Gillian Thompson’s heart was filled with joy as she gratefully looked at Nicholas.
“Ivy is preg…” Noticing there were outsiders still present, Nicholas changed his tone, “Given her current situation, even if Jeremy Norman and his family approve, she will most likely suffer hardships if she marries over. Although Gabriel is injured, after surgery, she’ll be no different from ordinary people.
Since Gabriel likes him too, it wouldn’t be impossible to bring them together.”
Damian Thompson remained silent, and even Joshua Thompson had to admit that his words made sense.
But reason doesn’t always mean agreement.
He arrogantly shook his hair and sneered, “We can’t decide this, let’s ask
Jeremy Norman himself.”
Hearing that they would ask the person involved, Gillian Thompson’s face turned extremely ugly.
She didn’t want to confront Jeremy because she had asked before, and it had only brought her embarrassment and no results.
She knew that Jeremy didn’t like her, but she still wanted to try. Love at first sight is rare; most people fall in love over time.
As long as she had some time, she could find a way to make him fall for her.
“No need to ask,” she said emotionlessly. “His heart is with my sister now. Only my feelings are with him, it is unrequited love…”
Upon hearing her straightforward words, the room fell silent for a moment.
Gillian Thompson mocked herself: “I know he doesn’t like me, but how many arranged marriages in rich families are between mutually affectionate people? Didn’t Mr. Gallagher have three years of imaginary marital bliss with my sister?”
At her words, Michael Gallagher suddenly looked at her, his eyes cold as frost.
Gillian Thompson’s heart trembled, and she quickly averted her eyes.
Three years of imaginary marital bliss…
Only he had been kept in the dark.
Michael Gallagher sneered without saying a word.
Gillian Thompson stubbornly lifted her small face, and stared fearlessly at Joshua Thompson, who was dissatisfied with her. “Third brother, do you think
I’m targeting my sister again?”
“Actually, I’m not targeting her; I’m just jealous of her. Jealous that she took your love and care away from me, took away what belonged to me.”
If Molly Walker hadn’t come back, Jeremy would definitely choose her because he wouldn’t have any other choice.
It was Molly who gave him more options.
As Gillian Thompson’s words fell, Joshua Thompson furrowed his brows.
“It’s our fault,” Damian Thompson suddenly spoke up.
Not expecting him to say this, Gillian Thompson lowered her head, and tears fell one by one on her clothes.
There was a park at the hospital entrance. Molly Walker walked to the small bridge step by step to catch her breath.
At this moment, a snakeskin bag was thrown over her head.
Just as she was about to press the button on her watch, the other party gripped her hand faster and took away the watch. They then quickly tied her up and threw her into the back of their car.
“Barry Clooney, didn’t you say you were only stealing things? Why did you kidnap a person too?” a deep voice full of dissatisfaction asked.
Molly quickly felt her pocket, and sure enough, her cellphone had been stolen at some point.
The person knew her watch had other functions, and her identity!
Slowly, her body softened, and an unpleasant smell hit her nose.
The bag was drugged!
Feng gave me double the money to teach her a lesson,” Barry Clooney said emotionlessly.
“How do you plan to teach her?” the thick voice trembled slightly.
Molly wanted to keep listening but gradually lost consciousness.
The assistant sat in the car leisurely smoking, the Maybach attracted quite a bit of attention, and many men and women passing by would take a look at who was inside.
Some bold ones even came up to flirt.
The assistant was helpless. If only he were a handsome guy, but with his small eyes and small nose, what were these women after?
Just as he was about to close the car window, his eyes swept over and noticed a familiar figure standing by the small bridge.
Young lady… Miss Walker?!
Before he could confirm, several men stood behind the woman, quickly tying her up and putting her in the back of their car.
The assistant’s eyes widened, and in broad daylight, they had kidnapped someone right off the street!
