Chapter 174 Find Her a Wicked Stepmother
Juniper was taken aback by his shout. "I didn't."
Magnus seemed not to believe her, or rather, even if he was willing to jump with Juniper, she wouldn't care.
'Yes, in her heart, I never held any weight. What about Jenny?' thought Magnus as he gripped Juniper's shoulders, his eyes bloodshot. 'If you dare to jump, once you're dead, I'll immediately find Jenny a wicked stepmother. If you dare to die, I'll make it happen."
'She doesn't care about me but she definitely cares about Jenny. She was convinced I would be a good father, which was why she left so decisively. What if I can't be a qualified father?' Magnus threatened her word by word, his face stern and cold, with no hint of joking.
He always kept his word.
Juniper frowned and accused, "Jenny is your biological daughter. Even if you want to remarry, at least find someone with good character. Even if she doesn't treat Jenny well, she shouldn't abuse her. Magnus, you..."
He stared at her, saying coldly, "If you dare to die, I'll find her a wicked stepmother."
Juniper said, "You wouldn't."
She knew Magnus a lot. Magnus was a responsible person and wouldn't neglect Jenny.
He denied her, his words firm. "I will! So you'd better not have any suicidal thoughts. If you die, I won't take care of Jenny anymore."
"She is innocent," said Juniper.
Besides, she wasn't trying to jump into the sea just now.
She just wanted to face what she had feared in the past. For the past seven years, she had been avoiding it. Sometimes, the more one avoided something, the more it haunted one.
Magnus was both angry and scared, his chest heaving violently, with a lingering fear that wouldn't dissipate.
His deep, cold gaze was locked onto her pale face.
Juniper finally said, "I wasn't thinking of jumping into the sea, and I won't in the future."
Magnus said, "You better not." His face was cold, and his tone was fierce.
He grabbed Juniper's hand and started walking back from the cliff.
He was so strong it felt like he was going to crush her hand.
Juniper was half-dragged, half-pulled by him. He walked so fast she could barely keep up.
She twisted her ankle and frowned in pain. "Magnus, let go of me!"
The fear lingering in Magnus's chest was stirred up again, he suddenly turned and yelled at her, "Let you go so you can jump into the sea again? Juniper, if you jump, have you thought about what will happen to those left behind?"
Juniper said, "I said, I didn't..."
However, Magnus still didn't believe her. He stared at her, his eyes red. "That night you walked into Silver Lake, you also said you wouldn't. I believed you."
His tone was heavy.
If time could go back.
He would never have believed Juniper's words that night if time could go back.
Whether it was Magnus's harsh tone or the mention of the past, Juniper's heartstrings were plucked hard. Seeing his red eyes, her eyes also involuntarily reddened.
She sniffed. "It's all in the past. I really won't do it again. I asked you to... let go of me because you were walking too fast, and I twisted my ankle."
She didn't know if he believed her.
As soon as she finished speaking, she suddenly felt weightless.
Magnus carried her in his arms and walked back with her. "Now that the typhoon has stopped, let's pack up and leave while it's calm."
He wouldn't allow her to come near the sea again.
What was there to see in the sea? Not to mention Juniper now had thalassophobia, and even Magnus had a shadow over the sea.
His eyes were cold, looking straight ahead, not at her.
But his tone was slightly softer.
When he carried Juniper to the door of Courtyard No. 3, Trenton happened to come looking for her.
The show crew didn't know their relationship.
Juniper thought it was better to avoid trouble, so she struggled a bit and whispered, "Put me down first."
Magnus frowned, not only did he not put her down, but he held her tighter.
He carried her, walking past Trenton very openly. He looked very arrogant and didn't even glance at Trenton.
Trenton was stunned. 'What? Didn't they see me? Is it really appropriate for an observer to carry a female guest? It looks like they are a couple.'
Once inside, Magnus placed Juniper on the sofa.
He grabbed her ankle, placing her injured foot on his leg to check.
Juniper's skin was very good, smooth like silk.
Magnus's fingers were slightly rough, and when his palm touched her, she felt a bit shy.
This action was extremely intimate.
Moreover, she was wearing a dress today.
There was no ointment for sprains there, so Magnus just gently rubbed Juniper's ankle. Juniper winced in pain and pulled her foot back.
Magnus looked up at her, noticing she was wearing a white dress, and his hand suddenly became heavier.
Juniper almost cried out in pain, "It hurts. Stop rubbing!"
He just sneered. "Good, you know it hurts. Sit here obediently; I'll go pack."
Magnus got up to pack the luggage. Then he paused and said, "Don't wear white dresses anymore."
Juniper was puzzled. "Why? Do they look bad?"
Magnus said, "Yeah, they're unlucky."
What era was this? Magnus, at his age, still thought white dresses brought bad luck.
He said it looked bad, so Juniper instinctively looked in the mirror several times. She thought to herself, 'It looks so beautiful. Why did he say it looks bad?'
Ophelia always praised her for looking good in white dresses. Magnus really had poor taste.
Magnus glanced at the sofa while packing.
Seeing Juniper constantly looking in the mirror and muttering, "How does it look bad? It looks normal; what kind of taste you have?"
It did look good.do
But a year ago, when Juniper jumped off the cliff, she was also wearing a white dress.
That scene was unforgettable for Magnus.
It wasn't nostalgia, but fear.
That night, not only did Juniper jump into the sea, but Magnus also felt like he was sinking into the deep sea, almost drowning, yet still barely alive, like a walking corpse.
She had a lot of white clothes.
Juniper had a cold temperament, and she did look good in white.
Magnus looked at the white dress in his hand and threw it directly into the trash can.
Juniper happened to see it. "Why are you throwing away my clothes?"
Magnus said, "When we get back to New York, I'll buy you new ones."
Juniper was stunned as she thought, 'Even if you have money, you shouldn't waste it like this!'
Juniper was almost furious, but since it was already thrown away, and her ankle was twisted, she couldn't run to pick it up and argue with him.
They took a ferry back to the city dock from the island.
During this hour, Magnus held Juniper's hand tightly, not letting go for a moment.
White waves crashed against the glass.
This was actually the first time the two of them had seen the sea together.
But what they once looked forward to, they now avoided.
Juniper had developed a fear of the sea, and Magnus, because of Juniper's jump, also had a shadow over the sea.
