1703: Chapter 1697: Her and I…We Have No Chance Now 1703: Chapter 1697: Her and I…We Have No Chance Now Regina Kelloway hesitated for a few seconds before telling him the departure date.
*
From the mont he left the hospital to getting into the car, Jeremy Lawrence seed a bit bewildered.
Even the driver could tell he wasn’t quite himself.
“Little young master, are you alright?”
Jeremy shook his head: “I’m fine.”
“But you look a bit tired.
Are we going to Heath Villa or Season Villa?”
Season Villa was Damien Heath’s estate and Jeremy’s second ho.
Jeremy’s eyes revealed exhaustion: “Go to Abbey Road.”
The small apartnt he possessed was located on Abbey Road.
Apart from Joanna, he hadn’t taken anyone else there.
That little sanctuary was his private retreat.
When he encountered troubling affairs and didn’t want to face others, he would go there.
“Abbey Road?
Alright, I’ll take you there right away.” Although the driver found it puzzling, he didn’t dare ask more after catching a glimpse of Jeremy’s expression in the rear-view mirror.
The little young master seed to have a good temper.
He was mild-mannered in speech and action, and treated their staff courteously without putting on airs.
However, the driver, who was often responsible for picking up and dropping off Jeremy, was observant and could discern Jeremy’s true temperant.
Although the little young master appeared to be easygoing,
he wasn’t actually that easy to get along with.
When he was unhappy, he would lose his temper as well.

At the banquet.
Joanna Lawrence sent a Twitter ssage to Jeremy, inquiring about Regina’s condition.
After quite so ti, Jeremy replied: The doctor said her condition isn’t very serious.
She just needs to recuperate in the hospital for a while.
Joanna felt sowhat reassured upon reading his response.
She had t Regina a few tis and had a good impression of her, so she didn’t want such a beautiful and lovely girl to have any problems with her leg.
Joanna: Are you still at the hospital?
Jeremy: I’ve left.
Glancing at the ti, Joanna felt puzzled: Why didn’t you stay at the hospital longer?
Girls are fragile at such tis, needing care and attention.
If you aren’t going to put in the effort now, when will you?
Having learned of her brother’s feelings for Regina, Joanna was more candid in her words.
Several minutes passed after she sent the ssage, and then Jeremy finally replied.
Jeremy: She said she was tired, that’s why I left.
Besides, I don’t think it’s necessary for to earn any points anymore.
Joanna imdiately sensed that sothing was amiss with his response.
She hurriedly asked: Why?
Weren’t you fond of her?
And now you don’t like her anymore?
Jeremy: Sister, once Regina’s leg is healed, she’ll leave Closia.
I took your advice and tried to persuade her to stay, but she insisted on following her family’s arrangents.
Sister, there’s no chance for her and .
Upon reading this reply, Joanna’s face displayed a surprised expression.
She had known that the friend Jeremy referred to must have been Regina even before their earlier conversation.
She also guessed that Jeremy would attempt to persuade Regina to stay.
However, she didn’t expect this outco.
Jeremy: Sister, I won’t be coming back.
If there’s anything that needs to be handled, please ask Ashton for help.
Joanna guessed that Jeremy was probably in a bad mood.
After replying, she felt a bit hungry and picked up a plate of pastries from the table.
A shadow appeared before her.
As she looked up, she saw Diana Kinsman holding a glass of red wine, taking a seat across from her.
