Fortunate to Have You This Lifetime
Chapter 1285

Chapter 1285: Chapter 1285

Juliet Stewart took her medicine and the three continued their journey, with light snow falling halfway.

Ray Cooper was driving and muttering quietly, "Hope it doesn’t snow too much, or the highway will be closed..."

As he said this, for some reason, Juliet Stewart turned to glance at Jane McCain.

The look in her eyes was strange, indescribable, very complicated.

...

Finally arriving at Wellville Town, Jane McCain couldn’t meet Allen Rivera; the staff said Allen had gone into the mountains with a team.

Jane McCain looked around. The snow was falling gently, and the visibility wasn’t very clear. She could vaguely see the outline of the mountains.

"It seems very far..." she murmured as she looked into the distance.

The staff said, "If you go further, it’s the village. No accommodation can be arranged there. Though it’s a bit troublesome to go back and forth, staying in town is more convenient."

That made sense.

Jane McCain pursed her lips, feeling sorry for Allen Rivera having to go on a business trip to such a hardship place.

The local Prosecutor’s Office arranged the staff dormitory for them, a four-bed room with bunk beds.

Allen Rivera, Lucas Tucker, and Ray Cooper stayed in one room, while Fiona Lake and Juliet Stewart shared another one.

The conditions here naturally couldn’t be compared to those in Clearwater City, but it had all the necessary amenities like water, electricity, Wi-Fi, and basic bath facilities.

Jane McCain examined the surroundings and sat in the dormitory calmly waiting for Allen Rivera.

The dormitory was initially quite clean and tidy, but after Ray Cooper came in, drinking water, rummaging through his bag, changing shoes haphazardly, and casually tossing a towel over the bunk bed’s iron rail, in just a few minutes, the dormitory became a mess.

Jane McCain felt a pang of distress.

She thought Allen Rivera staying in this place was like a form of torture.

She restrained her urge to tidy up the room...

At that moment, Ray Cooper leaned on the windowsill and said worriedly, "The snow keeps falling, how will I send you back later..."

Jane McCain hurriedly said, "No need to trouble yourself, there should be a bus here, I can take the bus back."

Ray Cooper shook his head, "If the highway is closed, the bus won’t run either. Oh man, I suggested a bad idea; Mr. Rivera will definitely scold me when he gets back."

"Does he scold people?" Jane McCain was surprised, her eyes widening slightly.

"Of course..." Ray Cooper met her gaze but froze, his voice stuck halfway.

Jane McCain’s makeup and style were always mature and charming, but her personality wasn’t mature or steady at all; rather, she often showed a naive and lively side.

For example, now, a pair of pure eyes staring at Ray Cooper, with curiosity amidst the confusion on her alluring and smart face.

She had no idea how attractive this stark contrast was to men.

Ray Cooper’s heart trembled violently.

He looked away, coughed to compose himself, and said, "Of course he scolds people, but Mr. Rivera is very particular about it. He would say—"

Ray Cooper changed his tone to mimic Allen Rivera: "Being complacent is a taboo for a prosecutor. In this matter, your way of handling lacked judgment, insufficient awareness of objective conditions, and was impatient and careless! I hope you seriously reflect on this and realize the seriousness of the problem!"

Jane McCain burst into laughter, unable to stop.

Seeing Jane McCain laughing so innocently and joyfully, Ray Cooper couldn’t help but think of his serious and stern boss, smirking.

He silently cursed: Pretending to be so proper, turns out he’s also attracted to beauty. Men... tsk tsk tsk...

Voices came from outside, accompanied by chaotic footsteps.

Ray Cooper’s eyebrows raised with a smile, his excitement showing through, "Mr. Rivera must be back. If he sees you, he will be so surprised!"

Maybe because there were many people, Jane McCain’s heartbeat was getting faster, filled with anticipation and extreme nervousness.
