Chapter 1429: Chapter 1343: She felt as if she was in a dream

Several women’s faces suddenly turned pale.

They didn’t expect Jeremy Lawrence to slap them in the face like that.

Initially, they thought Jeremy wasn’t interested in Regina Kelloway since he ignored her the whole time. That’s why they had tried to please him with their words.

But, to their surprise, Regina and Jeremy were actually friends.

And what’s more, Jeremy had spoken up for her.

This showed that their relationship was indeed good.

"Mr. Jeremy, we..." The women were both embarrassed and awkward.

Jeremy Lawrence didn’t bother to look at them again.

Under Regina’s astonished gaze, he grabbed her hand and looked deeply into her eyes, saying, "Come with me, I have something to tell you."

Regina was stunned.

At the moment Jeremy took her hand, she was dumbstruck, staring blankly at him.

For a moment, she felt as if she were dreaming.

No, even in her dreams, Jeremy had never been so gentle; she had never dreamed of him holding her hand.

Even in her dreams, he appeared indifferent and was never really nice to her.

So at this moment, she felt it was all too unreal.

Even though she clearly felt the warmth of his palm and the tightening grip of his fingers, she still couldn’t believe it.

Didn’t Jeremy Lawrence really hate her?

Hadn’t he told her not to bother him anymore?

So he should hate her, right?

Why would a person like that help her and defend her in front of others?

"Regina." Jeremy lowered his head and saw her staring blankly at him.

Her eyes were still red, with teardrops clinging to her lashes. The tears had reached the corners of her eyes, but she was holding them back.

Thinking of how she had just been ridiculed by those women, her heart must be full of grief.

She was about to cry, wasn’t she?

Jeremy had known Regina for so many years now and understood what kind of person she was.

She was a delicate well-bred lady who had always enjoyed a privileged life, completely unaware of the troubles and hardships of the world.

From childhood to adulthood, her life had always been smooth sailing.

This time, it must have been her first encounter with setbacks and such humiliation.

Before the Kelloway family fell from grace, no one would have dared to treat her like this.

Seeing Regina like this, Jeremy felt a sudden pang of heartache.

He would rather see Regina remain the proud and privileged lady she had always been than to see her like this.

The Regina he knew should not be like this.

"Will you come with me? I have something to tell you." Unable to resist, Jeremy softened his voice and spoke to her again.

Slowly coming to her senses, Regina glanced at the hand Jeremy was holding and moved her fingers slightly, unaccustomed to the touch.

The next moment, she felt Jeremy’s grip tightening around her hand.

It was as if he was afraid she would pull away, holding her hand tightly.

This time, without waiting for her to answer, Jeremy led her away from the banquet hall.

Leaving the bustling banquet hall, Jeremy took Regina to the backyard of Heath Villa.

He didn’t stop walking until they reached a spot where there were few people around.

Being alone with him, Regina’s heartbeat sped up, and she was so nervous that her palms started to sweat.

Jeremy slowly let go of her hand.

Under the moonlight, his delicate pale face seemed to take on an enchanting allure, so beautiful that it took one’s breath away.

His eyes were extremely dark, his lips as red as roses blooming at midnight, yet his complexion was much paler than ordinary people.

If vampires truly existed in this world, they would probably look just like him.
