Chapter 332 Setting Her Free
Alex smiled and patted her on the back.
"If you really want to thank me, next time you see Dexter, stop talking back to him. You are not young anymore, and you are also a mother. It's time to be more sensible."
Lauren only felt a tinge of sadness. She felt like crying and nodded with her eyes reddened.
Alex sneaked back home on the way to the hotel. Hence, he had to rush back to the hotel to meet them and didn't stay at home for too long. After leaving Lauren some instructions, he left.
Since Lauren had already gotten the contract, she went back to her room and packed things up to get ready to leave, for fear that Dexter would find out about it when he came back later. Lauren also did not want to get in an argument with him anymore.
However, just as she was packing up her things, she heard the servant outside the door saying, "Miss Lauren, there is a guest outside looking for you."
She was stunned. For a moment, she didn't expect that who would come to her at this time in Visstead.
Besides, Lauren had come back to Visstead secretly. She didn't make an appearance downstairs during the day, so few guests knew that she was back.
Besides, as a celebrity, she had been keeping a low profile. Even her former friends and classmates should not know about this.
As Lauren was thinking about it, she heard steady footsteps coming from outside.
Following that, there were a few light knocks on the door.
Lauren did not expect the servant to bring the guest to her room directly. She frowned unhappily and was about to open the door when the door opened by itself. Then, a familiar figure appeared at the door.
Lauren widened her eyes.
Jameson?
"Why is he here?"
Good heavens!
Lauren's eyelids twitched as she rushed over. Before Jameson could enter the house, she pulled the door and slammed it shut.
However, it was already too late.
Jameson had already held on to the side of the door. He just needed to a little push to open the door.
"Jameson? Are you crazy? What are you doing here now?"
Lauren was beyond anxious.
But Jameson did not say a word.
He pushed the door open and strode over. His face was still cold and his eyes were staring at her coldly.
Being stared at by him like this, Lauren could not help but feel a little guilty.
Except for Marry and Clarissa, no one else knew that she had returned to the Visstead this time.
Therefore, Jameson should be in the dark.
Old Madam Green had only stayed for a short period of time this time. She had already returned to F Country some time ago. As her grandson, Jameson naturally had to send her off.
Therefore, before leaving, he had told Lauren to stay in the villa and not go anywhere until he came back.
But Jameson didn't expect that as soon as he left, she came back to Visstead.
Jameson was a hot-tempered person. It was easy to imagine how angry Jameson was now.
But Lauren felt that it was not her fault!
She also had her own affairs to deal with and he was a nobody to her. Why should she listen to him all the time?
As Lauren thought so, she raised her head and glanced at him.
Jameson said coldly, "I came all the way here, shouldn't you invite me to enter your house?"
At this moment, there was no room for Lauren to say no.
She had to turn to the side and let him in.
Jameson walked into the house. He was in no hurry to speak, but sizing up the decoration in the room carefully.
The furnishings in the room were warm and luxurious at the same time.
As the only daughter of the Jones family, Lauren was pampered by Dexter and Alex since she was a kid. Therefore, even if she was brought up in a single-parent family, she was no worse than any kids who grew up in a nuclear family.
Jameson scanned the room before he sat down on the sofa next to the bed.
For some reason, Lauren felt a little nervous, especially when she thought that there was a chance that someone would come by the Jones family at any time. She couldn't help but feel more panic, knowing that his identity could be exposed anytime.
After a moment of silence, she finally was mentally prepared. She stuttered and asked, "What brings you here?"
Jameson slightly opened his lips. "Why did I come here? Don't you know?"
Lauren didn't dare to look into his eyes. She lowered her head and said softly, "How would I know?"
Jameson chuckled. There was a hint of coldness in his laughter.
Lauren felt a chill inside hearing his laughter.
During this period of time, he had been keeping Lauren and Joy company. Although his temper was still bad, generally speaking, Jameson did not treat her too badly.
Sometimes, it gave her the impression that they seemed to have returned to a few years ago, where they had a wonderful but short-lived time together.
Therefore, she did feel a little guilty about leaving without saying goodbye this time.
Jameson's face was cold as he said in a low voice, "If I don't come to see you this time, are you really going to leave like this and never come back?"
Lauren's heart trembled upon hearing his words.
She looked up slightly to meet his cold and handsome face. Lauren could tell it was simmering with anger.
She suddenly felt even more guilty in her heart.
"Not really. Joy is still there. I have to go back."
"Just for the sake of the child?"
Lauren was speechless.
In the face of Jameson's interrogation, she didn't know how to answer him.
It seemed that Lauren was not able to come up with a right answer no matter how hard she tried.
A tinge of bitterness quietly spread from the bottom of her heart.
"Obviously? I don't see there's other reason for which I need to go back."
Jameson sneered in a low voice.
"Great, Lauren. It seems that I've treated you too leniently during this period of time and you've forgotten where you come from!"
Lauren's expression changed.
In the next second, her chin was suddenly nipped by Jameson as she was pushed against the door.
Jameson's eyes darkened as he glared at her, as if he wanted to tear her down and swallow her alive. He gritted his teeth and said, "If it weren't for the fact that you are the mother of the child, you would have died many times."
Lauren's chin hurt. Subconsciously, she wanted to explain.
But after a short pause, she changed the subject.
Lauren looked up at him with a firm look. "Yes. To you, I'm better off dead. I've betrayed you and lied to you. In that case, why did you come to me again?"
Jameson was stunned.
Lauren smiled bitterly and said, "I admit that five years ago, I was the one who let you down. But in these five years, I have done enough for you to make amends!"
"Now, it's the Ethanbez Family that can't tolerate me. It's not like you don't know. Can you leave them for me? Can you give up the Ethanbez Group and your future for me? You can't! Look, this has been the biggest problem between us."
"I know what kind of person I am and what my status is. I know very well that that night, you were the one who took the initiative to mess with me. But why do I have to bear the consequences by myself?"
"Jameson, I've lost everything just because I fell in love with you. My career, my life, all my relatives have left me!"
"And what about you? You're still the eldest son of the Ethanbez family. You're still the president of the Ethanbez Group, and you'll still be able to live a glorious life."
"If we are really together, the only thing that is left with me is your love. But if you stop loving me one day, what else is left for me?"
"Jameson, you kept saying that I shouldn't leave you, but have you ever thought about why I left?"
"I'm really tired. I'm begging you, let it go! Let me go, and also let yourself go!"
