Yvette tensed up and anxiously tried to get out of Jeremiah's arms. "I'm already married."

Her eyes were filled with panic, and he could tell how much she was resisting him. His heart skipped a beat, and he only pulled his hands back after a long while. There was a lonely look in his eyes. "Then, can we still be friends in the future?"

Yvette calmed down and looked at him. Then, she said softly, "Yeah. Not only are we friends now, but we're family as well. I'll attend your engagement."

"Alright. I'll wait for you." Jeremiah forced out a smile.

"If there's nothing else, I'll be leaving now."

Then, Yvette walked away in the snow. Jeremiah stood still next to the car as he watched her leave him slowly. It felt like she was buried under the snow at that moment.

He'd already gotten back into his car. "I'm dealing with something outside, so I won't be going back to the office today."

"But we have an appointment tonight-"

"Cancel it."

Jackie had taken care of Jeremiah for at least a decade. She could tell something was wrong from his tone. "Mr. Jeremiah, if there's something on your mind, please don't keep it to yourself. You can tell me about it, and I promise I won't tell anyone else."
