Chapter 355
However, Widi would never breathe a word of these thoughts in front of Jeremy.

She wouldn’t have cared before, but now she had something to ask him, so she decided not to argue with him for the time being.
She was too experienced for that. If they argued, he would hold a grudge for days, and she wouldn’t be able to get the latest gossip.
She took Yvonne back along the same path. Jeremy and his friends were still standing there. They were huddled together, chatting. At first, Widi didn’t understand what they were saying, but then she heard the name of a famous game character and realized they were talking about games.
As they got closer, Jeremy saw them. He reached out and gently tapped Yvonne’s little hand and asked v washing your hands?”
It felt a little damp, with some moisture still on it.
smile, “Done
Widi almost said something but stopped herself. She really wanted to speak up because she couldn’t stand setting Yvonne’s hands become dirty again because of Jeremy’s touch
But she told herself to hold back and not to say anything.
One of the teenage boys reached into his pocket and pulled out a hand cream.
He handed it to Jeremy with a warm smile and said, “Jeremy, I have hand cream. Let Yvonne use it.”
Someone from the group teased, “You carry hand cream with you?”
The teenage boy quickly explained, “It’s not like that. My mom insisted I bring it…”
“Jeremy didn’t hear the teasing. He thanked his friend and took the hand cream and opened the cap with difficulty.
Just as she was about to squeeze some onto Yvonne’s hands, another hand suddenly reached over and took the hand cream.
It was Widi. She really couldn’t stand it anymore. Meeting Jeremy’s questioning gaze, she tried to hold back her complaints. “I’ll put it on Yvonne.”
“Alright.“Jeremy assumed Widi simply found Yvonne endearing and wanted to help, not realizing it was because Widi couldn’t tolerate his clumsiness.
After applying the cream, Widi handed it back.
Jeremy reached for Yvonne’s little hand again, feeling like it was as soft as a kitten’s paw. It was so adorable, it almost made him faint from sweetness.
He didn’t realize that his expression was like a fool, making it hard for anyone to look at him.
Widi pretended not to notice. She lifted her skirt and sat down next to him.
The others were in shock, staring at her in disbelief.
“Wait, Widi, are you alright?” Jeremy was surprised by Widi’s action since they weren’t particularly close.
Widi was completely casual about it. Lowering her voice with a mysterious air, she said, “I want to ask you something.”
“What?” Jeremy looked at her suspiciously.

“Did something happen between you and Rupert?”

After asking, she took advantage of the moment when everyone was frozen in surprise to pull Yvonne over and casually brush her little hands, as if dusting off some dirt.
She looked calm as if she hadn’t done anything, but she added, “Don’t lie to me. I could tell.”

Yvonne looked down at her hands. The gesture reminded her of how the older girls would pull her up and pat her hands just like that every time she touched a stone.
But she hadn’t picked up any stones. She had just shaken hands with her brother.
The little girl seemed to realize something, and her soft little face froze in confusion.
After a long moment, she suddenly clutched her hands tightly and looked at her brother in shock.
She understood that her brother’s hand was dirty, covered in dust, which was why Widi had brushed her hand earlier.
She quickly covered her little hands and went around to sit on the other side of Widi.
Meanwhile, after Widi finished speaking, Jeremy suddenly realized his sister was gone.
He leaned forward and called out to Yvonne, “Why aren’t you sitting next
to
me?”
While waiting for the little girl to respond, Widi leaned forward slightly, unintentionally blocking the gaze of Jeremy, who seemed to be eagerly waiting.
“Did Rupert stop you guys to apologize to you?” asked Widi.
With this change of subject, Jeremy forgot what he was about to say earlier. He shook his head and said, “No. He doesn’t even know.”
Widi responded with an “oh,” and finally finished the gossip she had been eager to hear.
After thinking for a moment, she suddenly sighed as something crossed her mind. “It would be great if Laura didn’t get
get married. Why does she have et married? Uncle and Auntie love her so much, even if she doesn’t get married, they’d
support her for life.”
To Widi, if Laura didn’t get married, Widi wouldn’t have to either, and all the pressure would fall on Laura.
Hearing her words, Jeremy immediately replied, “She likes him. If you don’t want to get married, then don’t. Everyone has their own choices.”
Although his tone was a little sarcastic, Widi thought he made a fair point this time.
Though it was true, Richard would definitely not allow that.
She sighed and shared her thoughts.
“Oh, I see,” Jeremy said, his expression nonchalant after hearing her.
“Don’t worry. Even if you tell Grandpa that you’re not getting married, he won’t scold you. The things you’re worried about won’t happen,” added Jeremy.
Widi was a bit confused and froze for a few seconds before asking uncertainly, “So Grandpa has become more open–minded
now?”
Jeremy shook his head. “Not at all. He’s still an old fossil.”

Previously, he had tried some temporary blue hair dye at his school’s farewell party and thought it looked really nice, so he casually mentioned it to Richard and almost got kicked out of the house for it.
Jeremy said, “That old man is ridiculously conservative and always follows through on his words.
“But when it comes to marriage, you’ve caught a good break, thanks to Yvonne. Oh, right, not just you, but all of us.”
Unaware, Widi felt a chill on her back from Jeremy’s gaze and couldn’t help but shrink back. She rubbed her arm uncomfortably and asked, “What’s going on?”
Jeremy replied that it was nothing, his gaze once again shifting past her to Yvonne.
The little girl was staring at the diamonds on Widi’s dress, the light reflecting in her eyes like twinkling stars. She looked so innocent and cute.
with Yvonne. The little girl surprised everyone by saying that when she grew up, she wanted to marry Anna, which almost made the old man jump out of his seat.
Jeremy smiled, then explained to Widi, “A few days ago, Grandpa somehow ended up talking about mar
“He immediately canceled all his plans that day and sat beside Yvonne, trying to talk her out of it. But Yvonne was very stubborn in her thoughts. She nodded at whatever Grandpa said, as if she was listening, but when asked later, she still said she wanted to marry Anna.”
For Richard, it was a huge shock.
When someone can’t accept something, telling them something even more serious, and then they’ll accept the former.
Thanks to Yvonne, Richard finally came around after that day.
Compared to Yvonne’s situation, not getting married seemed much more acceptable to him.
