Chapter 1587
Jeremy stood up. "I just sat down not long ago. Did you sleep well?"
Just as Ashlynn was about to tell him she slept very well, she saw Jeremy's face, and she was stunned. "Jeremy, why are you so much thinner?"
He used to be thin as well in the past, but he looked decent.
However, at that moment, he had lost a lot of weight to the point that his cheeks were sunken.
"Are you having a tough time at work? Is it very tiring?" Ashlynn could not help but feel sorry.
It took Jeremy a great deal of control to suppress that intense sorrow, then he smiled. "I've been working on a project recently that's been a real headache, so I've been pulling all-nighters."
Ashlynn did see the dark circles under his eyes. "You have to rest no matter how busy you get. What happens if you ruin your health?"
Jeremy pulled her over and made her sit down. "Don't stay standing. You're carrying a child in your belly! You're still worrying about me now when you're the one that I'm most worried about. I'll hold you responsible if my niece is too thin at birth."
As he touched Ashlynn's slightly showing baby bump gently, he said, "I can't wait to meet my niece!"
Ashlynn wanted to make fun of him, but when she saw Jeremy's thin face and exhaustion in his eyes, she could not help but want to get up. "I'll have them prepare more nutritious meals. The way you look is making me..."
"Don't move. Just sit here." Jeremy stopped her. "The dishes prepared by our kitchen have always been nutritious. I'll just have more of it in the future.”
"I'm not going to leave today. I'm going to keep an eye on you as you eat."
"Are you taking me for a three-year-old child?" Jeremy could not help but laugh.
"I don't care. You are my brother. Mom and Dad are out traveling. How sad would they be if they saw you like that?" Seeing that he did not take it seriously, Ashlynn was truly anxious and angry.
When he heard her mentioning Mom and Dad, Jeremy hung his head. He thought to himself that they would never be able to see them anymore in this life.
After he calmed himself down, he lifted his head. "That won't do. Go home. Alright. I promise that I won't be as thin as I am now the next time you see me."
"Promise?"
Jeremy raised his hand. "I swear."
Only then did Ashlynn feel relieved.
If this were to continue, she would be taking him to the hospital for a checkup.
How could he suddenly get so much thinner?
The siblings then chat there, talking about Beth's birthday, making guesses about Beth and Marshall's time with each other, and having a celebration after the two of them come home.
Ashlynn was the one who did most of the talking the whole time, while Jeremy just listened next to her.
He knew what method Corentin used to cover up this matter.
The only thing he could do at that moment was to protect Ashlynn and let her deliver the child safely.
Otherwise, their parents in heaven would also be worried.
Jeremy must cooperate with Corentin and shoulder all of this...
Not long after Ashlynn finished her dinner at night, Corentin came over to pick her up.
Ashlynn was not happy. "Didn't I tell you I'm going to stay over here today?"
"Jeremy is already so busy. His worries will double if you're here. Come and stay after he's done with his work in this period, alright?"
Ashlynn had no choice but to agree when she saw Jeremy's thin face.
Before she left, she even reminded Jeremy to eat more and get more rest.
Jeremy promised her he would do so. After he watched the car leave, he could no longer control the expression on his face anymore.
His eyes were completely reddened.
He had been holding himself back the whole time.
Actually, ever since Beth and Marshall passed away, he had not been to the company much. Even if he did go to the company, he would also be in a bad mood.
Before Ashlynn came over, when Corentin gave him a call, he was actually still sleeping at home.
He just deliberately acted as if he had just come back from the company. Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.
He had no choice but to do so because Ashlynn and the child in her belly were more important.
If Ashlynn found out about it, it would be even harder for her to accept it compared to him.
He did not wish to see a worse consequence.
