Chapter 27 A Look Thats Far From Innocent I felt a hint of unease seeing Moms overly enthusiastic smile , but Eric responded calmly , Were just neighbors , and its only right for us to help each other out .
Dont worry about it , Mrs.
Brown .
Sensing the shift in the atmosphere , I tried to slip away , only to have Mom pull me aside .
She lowered her voice and asked , Be honest with me .
Whats going on between the two of you ? I sighed helplessly .
What are you talking about , Mom ? Were just regular friends .
Havent we explained ? Thats impossible ! Mom rebuked .
Im experienced , and I can tell that the way Eric looks at you is far from innocent .
Nothings happening now , but nobody can say that for sure about the future .
My lips twitched in speechlessness , Eric had deep , soulful eyes , and anyone would mistake his gaze for a look of romantic interest .
But Mom wasnt hearing any of it .
She continued , I think Erics a good guy .
If you have feelings for him , you should consider taking the first step once the divorce is finalized .
Im here for you .
I sighed and pulled my hand free from her grasp .
I dont have feelings for him , Mom .
Stop trying to play matchmaker .
Im heading home .
Child … I called for Eric to leave together .
On my way out , I caught a glimpse of Jack attentively caring for Elsa .
I paused and couldnt resist making a sarcastic remark , Some people need to open their eyes .
Dont end up losing everything just because you cant tell whats real and fake .
Jack wasnt stupid as he instantly understood who the mocking remark was directed at .
His expression darkened , and he retorted , Mind your own business .
My affairs are none of your concern .
Judging from his oblivious expression , I decided it wasnt worth my time to argue further .
When we got in the elevator , I glanced at Eric and asked , Is it true that youre here to visit a relative ? Eric raised an eyebrow and responded with a vague answer , I guess your parents can be considered relatives .
I didnt know what to say .
Was he here just to help me explain things ? I fell silent .
A mix of emotions churned within me , but I feared I might be overthinking .
Chap 27 A Look Thats Far From Innocent Eric offered to give me a ride home since it was on his way , and I didnt refuse .
Jeremiah was waiting at the exit of the hospital .
He strode over once he spotted me , and his expression darkened the instant he saw Eric .
He held in his displeasure and said , Jane , stop making a fuss and come home with me .
Youve just stirred up a scandal with Eric , and more rumors will spread if youre seen together .
I felt disgusted by his supposedly concerned tone .
As I shot him a cold glance , I retorted , You started the rumors about me and Eric .
What right do you have to say that ? Let me make myself clear again ; Im not going back with you .
Lets find some time to finalize the divorce .
Jeremiah frowned as his patience seemed to wear thin .
We can talk about this at home .
Dont embarrass yourself in public .
He reached out to grab my hand , but I quickly stepped back .
Eric stepped up to shield me from Jeremiah .
Didnt you hear her ? She said shes not going back with you .
Jeremiahs expression turned cold at Erics intervention .
This is a matter between me and my wife .
What does it have to do with you ? Dont think I wont act against you .
