Semua Bab If I were Yours: Bab 161 - Bab 170

As Jean stared at Dorian's eager expression, she didn't know how to answer him. She could only take a deep breath while balling her fists up.No, she couldn't turn him down at all."You can call me whenever you're bored. You remember my number, right?"Dorian nodded happily in response.For some reason, Jean felt happy and light as well when she noticed the child's delight.Soon, Dorian and Tyler walked Jean to the front door.Jean headed toward her car, her mind filled with various thoughts. Although she was reluctant to leave Dorian's side, he wasn't her son at the end of the day.Her guilt and remorse must be acting up again. If her child were still alive, he'd definitely be around Dorian's age.Dorian waved goodbye to Jean after she got into her car."Goodbye, Aunt Jean."Jean nodded while replying, "Goodbye."Then, she looked up at the sky before adding in concern, "It looks like it's about to rain soon. You should head back now."Dorian nodded again. He watched as Jea

"I won't choose Tyler. Ever."Jean took a deep breath after uttering her reply.At that moment, the elevator doors slid open silently. Tyler happened to be inside the elevator while carrying a box of food.After Dorian fell asleep, Tyler recalled that Jean barely had anything to eat at the banquet. He was worried that she might be starving around midnight, so he had his kitchen staff prepare some food for her. Then, he personally drove over to her place to drop it off.He didn't expect to overhear the conversation between Jean and Emmett.Jean had no idea that Tyler was around. She continued, "It's true that I loved you before, Emmett."Had that incident not happened in the past, she and Tyler would still remain as strangers. That meant she would have chosen to be with Emmett, without a doubt.A deep frown graced Tyler's features when he heard Jean's words. He felt an inexplicable surge of irritation washing over him. He glanced down at the container he was holding.Ah. How iro

The next morning, Emmett emerged from the guest room. He was stunned when he saw Jean busying herself in the kitchen.He was very sure that he had left her apartment last night."Jean."Upon hearing Emmett calling her name, Jean turned around to see him standing in the living room, half-naked.It was only a quick glance before she averted her gaze. Then, she stated, albeit awkwardly, "I washed your clothes for you last night. They're in the dryer right now. I suppose they should be done by now. You should wear them."Emmett could tell that his presence made Jean quite uncomfortable. He went to the dryer and collected his clothes before putting them on.The fresh laundry had a nice scent to it, just like the scent that usually wafted from Jean's clothes.Emmett's mood improved drastically after making that discovery.Once he was done changing, he turned to see Jean serving breakfast on the dining table. Everything seemed so natural and perfect.If they hadn't broken up back the

Emmett stood next to Jean quietly the whole time, watching her deal with the latest crisis effortlessly.It was then he realized that Jean had truly changed.The new Jean was strong and capable, not to mention eye-catching.Tristan noticed that Emmett and Jean came to the studio together. He did his best to suppress the discomfort he was feeling as he walked over to greet Emmett."We meet again, Mr. Sotheby."Emmett inclined his head slightly in response. He glanced at the cast and crew, who were getting ready for the shoot."Is it alright if I stick around and watch as well?" he asked politely.Tristan nodded. "Of course."Emmett started gaining popularity as a director in the entertainment industry five years ago.If he could give some pointers to Tristan in terms of cinematography, everyone would definitely benefit from his help.Tristan led Emmett to the directing zone. Jean followed them from behind.During the shoot, Jean's and Emmett's eyes were glued on the monitor.

When Tyler saw Jean, he scooted to the side so that Jean could sit on the bed.Naturally, she took a seat there.Dorian looked at Jean hesitantly. A few seconds later, he seemed to have recognized Jean. Disappointment soon set in on his face."You're Aunt Jean."Jean nodded gently in response. She could feel Dorian burning up, so she scooped him into her arms and sat him on her lap."Is it alright if I check your temperature for you?" she murmured in a gentle voice. It was a tactic to comfort Dorian.The little boy was already quite weak by then, so he could only sit on Jean's lap quietly. As he felt her warmth seeping into his body, he managed a weak nod."Okay."Tyler passed the thermometer to Jean. After she took Dorian's temperature, she couldn't help but frown.It showed 102.38 Fahrenheit degrees.Dorian's body temperature was clearly too high. He would never recover if he didn't go to the hospital for treatment.Jean's expression turned serious as she flashed a glare a
