"Jessie Keller, you're my girl and you want to run away? It's late!" Hank Grimes said. "Hank Grimes, why do I have to be always by your side when you're flirting with other women?" Jessie Keller retorted. "Jessie Keller!" Hank said in a stern tone. "You listen carefully, Hank Grimes! I'm going out to find a man, too. Well..." Jessie started to say, but Hank interrupted her by leaning in and kissing her passionately.
Jessie Keller walked out of the bathroom after washing her hands and was caught off guard when she saw a man and a woman hugging each other.
Emmie Lynn, the Red Queen, and Hank Grimes!, the president of the the Grimes Group!
She quickly hid behind the wall and peeped out with a gossipy heart.
"I hear she's just a forensic doctor. How can she deserve you?"
Emmie Lynn looked steadily at Hank Grimes, her delicate and beautiful face calm, but her constricted pupils betrayed her heartache.
Jessie Keller Nu Nu mouth, what happened to the medical examiner? Forensics is also a pretty cool profession, okay!
"In two years, I'm going to divorce her," said Hank Grimes, with an indifferent look on his handsome face.
He's going to marry that woman after all.
"I know," said Emmie Lynn with a bitter smile on her lips.
She put on sunglasses and gracefully turned away, and Hank Grimes walked to the private room with long legs.
Then Jessie Keller came out of the corner and blinked. "Are these two really a couple?"
Ever since Emmie Lynn shot to fame, she and Hank Grimes have been romantically linked from time to time. But they never admit their love, nor deny it, and the hearts of the audience are tickled.
How much money would she get if she broke the news to the gossip weekly?
Thinking, Jessie Keller went back to the box, opened the door and saw Hank Grimes again.
I have to admit that this man is really the darling of God, with long, narrow and deep eyes, straight nose and thin lips like a knife. His facial features are impeccably perfect, as if they had been carved by the best artists with a lifetime of painstaking effort.
His silhouette is much deeper and clearer than that of the average Oriental man, showing a rigid coldness, interwoven with his aura of not being close to strangers and his luxurious and elegant atmosphere, which makes him look noble, charming and alienated.
No wonder Emmie Lynn, such a successful and proud woman, fell at the feet of his suit pants.
When Della Waller saw Jessie Keller coming back, she patted her son's hand. "Hank, do you think Jessie has become more beautiful in more than ten years?"
Hank Grimes glanced faintly at Jessie Keller, and the corners of his lips were not clear.
Jessie Keller touched the tip of her nose, smiled politely, and sat back next to her brother, Eric Keller.
She bit her chopsticks, thinking about the scene she had just peeked at, and suddenly realized a problem-she forgot to take a picture, and the magazine would give her a hundred yuan at most, crying..
Eric Keller touches Jessie Keller's hand. "This is your wedding reception. Watch your image."
If Eric Keller doesn't say Jessie Keller, she's going to be a drama-she's the woman Emmie Lynn said was just a medical examiner, and she's going to get married to Hank Grimes tomorrow.
A few minutes earlier, she had just returned from washing her hands to see Hank Grimes with his rumored girlfriend, who promised Emmie Lynn that he would divorce her.
Her marriage really started. Be different.
Della Waller knew that Hank Grimes and Jessie Keller had not seen each other for 14 years, so it was inevitable that they would be a little strange. She wanted to give them some time to be alone, "Jessie, the presidential suite upstairs has been booked for you. You can stay here tonight and discuss the matter of getting the license tomorrow.". Eric, I need you to take me home.
Eric Keller, a gentleman, pulled out the chair for Della Waller. "Hank, you don't have to go out with me. I'll take Ms.". Waller was sent home safely.
Eric Keller is handsome and has a mature and steady manner. He always speaks slowly. His temperament is elegant and noble. In Jessie Keller's mind, he is the best and most reliable man in the world. Let him send Della Waller home. Of course, she is relieved.
But is she about to start spending time alone with Hank Grimes?
Della Waller patted Jessie Keller's hand. "Jessie, don't be nervous. You don't know Hank."
Jessie Keller gave a dry smile.
She met Hank Grimes a few times when she was ten years old. After that, Hank Grimes went abroad and they never saw each other again. To this day, fourteen years have passed.
Is this the strangest understanding in the world?
Della Waller said in all earnestness, "If two people have a good chat, tomorrow will be husband and wife, and they will live for a lifetime.". Hank, take care of Jessie.
With that, Della Waller and Eric Keller left, leaving only Hank Grimes and Jessie Keller in the private room.
Jessie Keller remembers Hank Grimes' promise to Emmie Lynn that in two years, he would divorce her.
Her life with Hank Grimes? Well, it's a little mysterious.
Neither of them made a sound, and the silence spread eerily in the private room.
Why did you promise to marry me?
After a while, Hank Grimes's cold voice sounded.
"Eh?" Jessie Keller was surprised, "Ms.". Waller didn't tell you? My dad tried to kidnap me and threaten my brother, so Ms.. Waller wants me to marry you and become Mrs. Grimes, at least my dad wouldn't do that to me. That way, Eric Keller is free to do what he wants to do.
Is that reason enough? As for the real reason. There seems to be no need to tell Hank Grimes, and she won't let anyone know.
"Come back to my room." Hank Grimes ordered coldly.
Jessie Keller was stunned and asked subconsciously, "Why are you going back to your room?"
Hank Grimes hooked his lips. "Go back to your room. What do you think you can do?"
The baritone that is rich in magnetism, has added the special effects to be particularly coquettish and charming, and is so ambiguous that it seems to mean something.
duang~
Jessie Keller is in a mess against the wind.
