Lawrence came back in anger. Unexpectedly, as soon as he entered the door, he was informed that
Ken was waiting for him in the study.
After taking a look at the top floor, he walked towards the study.
Bang! Ken banged on the desk with his strong hand. The sound was deafening and angry.
"Didn't I say that do not go to see Mark? Why didn't you listen to me and went to see him alone?"
Scowling at Lawrence, Ken was furious. "Don't you know that if you go there hastily, our whole plan will
be messed up. Have you ever thought about the consequences?"
"I'm sorry, Grandpa."
Lawrence bowed his head and apologized. He had already thought about the consequences. He was
clear that Mark was investigating Nelson's death recently. Since Nelson was dead, Mark had begun to
doubt it.
If it was anything else, he would definitely not take the risk. He just couldn't refuse Jessie's request.
Seeing Lawrence's attitude, Ken didn't know what to do.
He had watched Lawrence grow up. He knew Lawrence's temper. He was not a brainless man. There
must be some reason for him to do so.
"Tell me! Why? Give me a reason."
"……"
"So! Are you trying to hide something from Grandpa?"
"No, I'm not. It's just not convenient for me to tell you."
"Fine, you don't want to tell me, right? Go to reflect on yourself."
Lawrence nodded his head. Just when Lawrence was about to turn around and leave, Jessie rushed in.
She took hold of Lawrence, walked to Ken and said, "Grandpa, don't blame him. It was me who asked
him to see Mark."
"You?" Ken looked at her suspiciously and turned to Lawrence, confused.
Why did he agree to help her since Jessie cared about Mark that much?
Could he give up everything just because of love?
Stupid! So stupid!
Lawrence was still silent. Jessie glanced at him and continued: "Grandpa, I know you cared about me,
that's why you didn't allow me to go back. I have come round now. I was forced to marry Mark. He had
never loved me. All he loves is his first love. I have fallen in love with him and always held the position
which doesn't belong to me. I have been living here for so long, suffering, torturing myself and hurting
myself. But he had never come to find me. I have given up."
Jessie wept bitterly. Her face was filled with despair and sadness.
"Grandpa, don't blame brother. Blame me. I asked him to bring the divorce agreement to Mark. Sooner
or later, we should break up, right?"
Ken looked at her.
Seeing that Jessie looked so firm as if she really had given up, Ken was happy from the bottom of his
heart.
However, he couldn't help but doubt the authenticity of what he saw.
Was she really giving up or just pretending to?
"All right. Since Lawrence went there for you, I won't punish him this time. But don't do that again!"
"Okay. Thank you, Grandpa."
Lawrence went out of the study with Jessie. Jessie invited Lawrence to take a walk in the garden.
Lawrence nodded his head and accompanied her to the garden.
At dusk, the sun hid the dazzling light and became a shiny golden disk.
Lawrence looked at Jessie's side face. The sun was shining, and even though she was still thin, the
ferocious expression on her face was not as fierce as before, and she did not want to hurt herself
anymore.
At this moment, she was peaceful and happy.
Lawrence was happy for her and became firm about his mind.
As long as she left Mark, she could become herself as she really was, and she could also get real
happiness.
He took a step forward and stood side by side with her.
Following her sight, they looked in the same direction. He said lightly, "Jessie, I'm really happy to see
you like this." Hearing that, Jessie shifted her gaze to him. Lawrence asked, "Do you know how it feels
to love someone? True love does not mean possession only. You would hope the one you loved could
get happiness. Grandpa and I are not against you being together with Mark. When we knew that you
didn't have a good life in the Lan family and that Mark didn't love you with his heart. When we saw that
you were willing to do anything for him, do you know how painful we were?"
The pain, like thousands of arrows penetrating the heart, would tear the heart apart.
That pain, much more painful than hurting himself.
He felt as if his whole body had been infected. His heart hurt as well as his internal organs.
If Mark really loved her, Lawrence was willing to give up, even though he was unwilling to.
Because she loved Mark.
However, this was not the reality.
But fortunately, she had seen through it. She had understood. Even though sometimes he felt that she
had not completely forgotten Mark and her past, at least she was willing to try and let it go.
He believed that time would heal everything. As long as he stayed with her, she would forget Mark and
fall in love with him one day.
With a faint smile on his face, he turned to look at Jessie. He held her hands and said softly, "Jessie,
let's get out of here when everything is settled."
"Go aboard?" Jessie looked at him in surprise, "But I haven't found Daniel. I can't leave here."
"Daniel?" Lawrence was stunned and thought, 'How could I forget about him?' Daniel was the
treasured possession of Jessie. For all these years, except for Irene, she cared about him the most.
However, things have changed. Whether Daniel could survive or not was still unknown.
Even if he could survive, he was not a normal person.
Or perhaps, he would not be a human being, but a weapon to deal with human beings!
Seeing that Lawrence was in silence, Jessie frowned and asked worriedly, "What's wrong?"
Lawrence came to himself and smiled, "Nothing. Don't worry. We will find Daniel. At that time, we can
take him to a good place to nurse him and cure him."
Hearing that, Jessie smiled with gratitude. "Thank you, brother."
When Lawrence saw that a long-lost smile finally appeared on Jessie's face, he was very happy. But he
was sad when he heard that she called him brother.
He didn't want to be her brother. Since he saw her picture for the first time, when Ken told him that she
was his future wife, he had put the girl in the photo in his heart. She would be his love for the rest of his
life.
In the past, he wanted to get close to her as her brother, but he didn't expect that the identity became
an obstacle.
He wanted to be her husband, her beloved, not her brother!
"Jasmine, forget him and try to accept me. I will make you the happiest woman in the world. I promise."
Hearing that, Jessie looked at Lawrence silently. "Forget him..." It was easy to fall in love with
someone, but it was not easy to forget someone!
"Okay, I'll try."
