S31 114. The Twins Want a Cousin

“Come on, Ava. It’s not easy for me to beg like this. Don’t say that my efforts are not enough. Do I need to kneel before you so that you give me a chance?”

“What can you do? What is your strategy to change my mother’s thinking? Improve my relationship with Eva?”

Jeremy’s head almost tilted back. Strategizing was not his thing, but Frank’s. So far, he just asked for instructions and carried them out.

“Are you still confused?”

Jeremy blinked, forcing his brain to come up with an idea. “I will collect evidence to refute Eva’s accusations against you.”

“Do you think my mother will believe it? She must think that your evidence has been manipulated.”

“No. I’ll-”

“Then how do you prove that we’re not having an affair?”

Jeremy’s jaw throbbed. “We don’t need to prove it. Everyone knows you’re not a call girl. Only your mother and adopted sister can’t see that. Maybe after we show them your account, they’ll stop making this up. You’ve never received payment other than your salary as a nurse.”

Ava exhaled quickly. Her expression was now tainted with guilt and resignation. “But we did it, Jeremy.”

Jeremy’s brows furrowed, not understanding. “What’s the problem? I’m not paying you to serve me. We’re doing it out of love. I know it’s wrong, but we’re adults, Ava. Eva shouldn’t use that fact to instigate your mother. Moreover, I seriously want us to get married.”

“Love you say? Based on love?” Ava’s forehead frowned. Her lips escaped in astonishment at the end. “Have I ever confessed that I love you? Have you ever confessed that you love me? No, Jeremy. We don’t love each other.”

“I’ve never said it, but can’t you see it?” Jeremy shook his head slightly.

“Try to remember our first meeting. How cold I was towards you? Compare it to now. Am I still the same?”

While Ava breathed heavily, Jeremy held her shoulders.

“No, Ava. I’m not the same person anymore, and I’m not someone who gets along easily with anyone, let alone girls. I only act warmly to people I care about, whose presence I like, who I want to always keep with me.”
