Back in Time: Unshackling From Love

Chapter 44

Mikayla noticed that Jerome had returned to his usual demeanor. She was assured that he had faked being intoxicated and was playing tricks on her.

She stormed off angrily, leaving Jerome behind.

A subtle fragrance lingered briefly as Mikayla’s departing figure faded into the

distance.

Jerome sent a message to Mike, “Turn down the Bay development proposal from Luxze Corporation.”

Before Connor sent in his response, Jerome switched his phone off.

Mike was concerned about Jerome’s intoxicated state. So, he arrived at the

restaurant with the driver.

After instructing the driver to wait, Mike made his way toward the chamber.

In the chamber, Jerome was seated on the bench. His hand was pressed against his forehead. Furrowing his brows, Jerome appeared visibly unwell.

As Mike was about to greet Jerome, he observed Mikayla make her way to Jerome from the dining table. She held a towel with one hand while the other was hidden beneath it.

Mike tactfully stayed silent. He watched Mikayla tenderly dab Jerome’s

forehead with the towel.

Before he could marvel at Mikayla’s tenderness, he witnessed her pretend to toss something into Jerome’s collar accidentally.

Jerome was startled by the sudden touch on his skin. He immediately sat up

straight.
