"Your sister..?

" Mikhail asked Jeremy in serious thought.

"How much is she entitled to from your wealth?

" he asked as he was curious.

If he still doesn't wise up against his sister then he is a lost case.

"Two million,

" Jeremy answered.

That's what he had in mind. He has a separate account with two million dollars and with interest it must have become a little more.

He thought she wouldn't need money from him and wondered how devastated she'd be once something happens to him.

But she...

That's it. He never was planning to give her anything more. All his money would go to a trust that would be used in the betterment of Peyton in case he has no children.

If he has a wife and family, his home, his company, and half of his other assets would belong to the family and the rest would go into a trust, to help Peyton.

"What does the family believe?

" Mikhail asked.

He always wanted to ask him about these things but he feared that might break their friendship and kept quiet. But now, he felt like things have changed.

"I said once that I might leave Emma as the President of the Fitzgerald Trust...

" Jeremy let out a chuckle. It was filled with pain.

It was so long ago and he didn't know if she remembers it all. Once Harold asked him about it. He wondered why Emma told him about that then. He took it as she was bragging that she likes her brother Jerry the most.

But it seems like... She was always after my money and I didn't see it, it seems.

Why she insisted I change my name, and how that family used my name for their connections...

Why didn't I see it all before?

She probably was just a puppet of Jeremiah Harrison...

Ugh! Why can't I still accept that she might not love me?

Whatever it is, like Jerlina says, it is better to keep her away from my business. If she is acting for Jeremiah by exploiting my love for her, I cannot give him the upper hand.

"I thought she was compassionate, after all... But it would be decided by the trustees and I had expressed my desire to include Bobby, Scarlett, my mom, Charlie and Emma to be included as trustees in my will...

" Jeremy's eyes ended up at Jerlina now at the distance.

She was still talking to someone and she still was angry and it looked like she was complaining. His lips curved to a smile.

She probably is talking to Scarlett!

"I should change everything...

" Jeremy tried to stand up and Mikhail helped him up.

"And make sure to send the bill for my hospitalization and your hospitality. I don't want to owe you money.

"

Mikhail glared at him.

"You don't-

"

"I insist,

" Jeremy was firm and Mikhail sighed.

"Grandpa would cause a row...

"

Jeremy didn't care about Alexander's feelings. His wife is wearing new clothes and has a new phone. He cannot let others pay for his wife.

"By the way, did her shipments reach on time?

" Jeremy asked.

She was very busy taking care of his business than hers. He wondered if she is even thinking about her business. The launch of Mikhail's bar is fast approaching and she needs to do the final preparations.

I should remind her.

"Yeah, and the quality is impeccable as always- true to the Hamilton name. Every single product has the same top-tier quality,

" Mikhail gave high praises.

He really loved the products.

And Jerlina Hopkins... no matter how hard he tried to find fault with her, he couldn't find one.

"You found a diamond, Jeremy,

" Mikhail said and Jeremy looked at him with a smile.

"Diamond?

" Jeremy shook his head.

"She's rarer than a diamond... She's one of a kind. And the miracle is, I didn't go looking for her. She came to me by herself. On a noisy night, when I was about to descend to darkness, she pulled me up with her bright light. She's my moon... my Luna... And forever she'll be my one. The lonely wolf is lonely no more. He has found his mate.

"

"Ugh!

" Mikhail cringed.

"I never thought you'd say these cheesy lines... Ugh!

" he shrugged his shoulders and patted himself as he felt goosebumps all over.

Jeremy laughed and he saw Jerlina running towards him. She probably just noticed that he stood up.

"Don't run,

" he walked towards her, hiding his phone in his pocket.

"I'm sorry, I didn't notice you standing up. Shall we leave?

" Jerlina walked beside him.

She waved bye to Mikhail and after watching them leave, Mikhail got back inside.

"Sponge bath... Refreshing sponge bath...

" she was humming happily as they walked back.

"Why are you that interested in my sponge bath?

" he asked.

He kind of knew the reason. His little wife took her time in the morning as she gave him the bath. She even stared the nurses out of the room and didn't even let them see his exposed chest.

Not so long ago, she said that one day she might ask him to do something for her. And today she asked him to stay away from Emma and she is not letting other women near him.

Hmm... I shouldn't be this happy about it, but I am!

"Don't you like sponge bath?

" Jerlina asked.

"Wait...

" she furrowed her brows.

"Do you not like sponge baths, or do you not like ME giving you the sponge bath? Do you want that nurse with the big boobs to serve you?

"

"No!

" Jeremy shook his head.

Where did this nurse come from? I didn't see any nurse around me!

"Oh?

" she bowed her head and she didn't speak afterward making Jeremy sad.

This is not going the way he planned.

Jerlina helped him rest on the bed and she then prepared everything for the sponge bath. Placing the basin nearby, she sat by his side and started unbuttoning his shirt.

"What's wrong with you?

" Jeremy asked. He didn't like to see her that way.

"Nothing,

" she looked at him and there was a furrow between her eyebrows.

"Hey, Joel... How does it feel like to touch a big boob?

" she asked and Jeremy felt like the sky above his head is breaking apart and falling on his head.

What is my darling asking?

Is it a trick question?

What should I answer?
