Chapter 13
Alvaro brought Jessie to his exhibition hall.
As soon as she entered, she was amazed by the design of the exhibition hall.
After coming here, she did try to find a venue, but most of them were not what she wanted. Every time she saw one, she would give up on it.
She looked at the interior decoration with delight and asked, “What was this place used for before? Was it also an exhibition hall?”
If not, how could it fit her ideal image so perfectly?
Alvaro smiled, “Do you like it? If you do, you can rent it.”
“This location is probably not cheap in terms of rent. You go ahead and make an offer first.”
Seeing her getting to the point, Alvaro instinctively straightened his body, with a look of eagerness on his face.
“You can take care of the rent, I’m not short of money, but I have a request.”
Jessie stopped in her tracks, the joy in her eyes fading away. “What request?”
“I had a project that needed to be completed. That client, he and his wife were also American, and shared similar interests with you. I needed your cooperation. As a token of gratitude, not only can I waive your rent, but I can also give you a substantial thank–you gift. How about considering it?”

Jessie furrowed her brows, not noticing Alvaro who had just finished saying this sentence, feeling inexplicably nervous, as if he was afraid she would refuse.
Just as Jessie was about to speak, he preempted her by raising the stakes.
Looking at the tempting offer, Jessie did hesitate.
“Just cooperating?”
“Just cooperating.”
Watching Alvaro’s sincere expression, Jessie finally nodded.
Alvaro’s tightly clenched fist suddenly loosened, as if he was somewhat at a loss, but he forcefully suppressed the smile at the corner of his lips.
“I went outside to make a phone call, you go upstairs and have a look first.”
After Alvaro left, Jessie went up the stairs to the second floor.
She looked around with satisfaction, both the decoration and the existing furnishings in the house were of her favorite type.
It was so perfectly fitting, as if it had been carefully selected just for her.
……
She was somewhat surprised, but before she could think further, her gaze was drawn to the figure outside the French window.

Alvaro, who was standing at the door, was jumping and bouncing, with his fists raised high, and was grinning widely, seemingly of what he was so happy about.

Jessie didn’t expect that he had this side to him. All of a sudden, he was also hit with a sense of humor.
The sunlight shone on her fair face, as if melting away layers of ice.

After Liam’s eyes had recovered, he finally returned to the Foley family.
As soon as I entered the house, I was called into the study by my stepfather.
Not long after, an argument broke out inside. Liam forcefully opened the door and Hannah, standing outside, looked at him with a worried expression. But the next second, she still chose to walk towards the inside.
Liam lowered his head and chuckled self–deprecatingly.
Knowing full well that I would never be her first choice, I still indulged in fantasies and hopes.
A chill ran through his heart, and he thought of Jessie again.
No matter what the situation, whether right or wrong, Jessie would always stand firmly by him.
But such a person, he would never have again.
His eyes were slightly red, but his phone in his pocket rang again.
He numbly answered the phone, and Briley’s increasingly agitated voice on the other end only made him more irritated.
Briley, who was observant, quickly calmed down.

“Liam, where were you? Can I come and find you?”
Liam had already returned to his and Jessie’s home.
He didn’t turn on the light, holding the pillow that Jessie always hugged, gently placing his head on it, his nose lightly touching the pillow, breathing in the lingering scent on it.
The ground was littered with empty bottles that had long been drunk.
He stumbled his way into the bedroom, but suddenly hisen drunk.

tripped by something, and he fell to the ground unexpectedly.
Just as I was about to get up, my attention was caught by a kicked–over
box.
Liam’s drunkenness seemed to instantly vanish as he clumsily crawled over to pick up the phone next to the box.
This was Jessie’s phone, I didn’t expect it to appear here!
