Don't Fall For Me, CEO-Chapter 1200: Her Suspicion

So, Jennings felt it was necessary to give a gentle reminder:

"Don’t forget how you got everything you have now! If you’re disobedient, I can take it all back anytime." 𝓯𝓻𝓮𝙚𝙬𝓮𝙗𝒏𝙤𝒗𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝒐𝓶

"July Quinn" stiffened for a moment before smiling and changing her tune: "I told you, it’s not about being disobedient, I’m just worried that if I don’t even hesitate, people might get suspicious."

"Let’s hope that’s the case. But if you dare have any ulterior motives, I’ll make sure you can’t even think about those things."

Just as Jennings said this, the music ended.

He resumed the gentle, affectionate smile from earlier, like someone who had been so captivated by July Quinn that he was willing to forsake all family interests, a complete fool.

He bowed deeply to "July Quinn" with an air of affection before leaving the dance floor.

"Honey, are you having a spat with Keaton again?"

Laura Quinn noticed "July Quinn" staring intently at Jennings’ departing figure and quickly pulled her to a corner.

"No, I just think he’s too domineering. Marriage isn’t like dating; it’s a lifetime commitment. If we both have such strong personalities, I’m afraid we’ll be at each other’s throats every day after getting married. But Jennings is different; whenever we disagree, he always gives in to me."

"July Quinn" said this in a matter-of-fact tone.

Yes, it was the explanation she and Jennings had agreed upon.

Laura felt there was nothing wrong with this explanation, as she had witnessed Kyle Keaton and July Quinn leave in a huff over a minor disagreement before.

Yes, it was when Kyle Keaton didn’t want July Quinn to be in danger and faced it on his own, without even informing her.

But Laura didn’t know the reason behind their unhappiness at the time; she just saw Kyle Keaton not yielding to July Quinn and walking away right in front of everyone.

And as a mother, naturally, she hoped her daughter would find a partner who would unconditionally indulge her.

So that when they grow old and pass away, her daughter would still have someone to love and care for her.

"This is your life, and I can’t make the decision for you. But I hope you’ll consider this matter carefully, as the chances of meeting someone you truly love in this life are really slim."

Yes, even if it was just for a short time, Laura could see July Quinn’s affection for Kyle Keaton.

Otherwise, when Kyle Keaton had left in anger, her daughter wouldn’t have gone out late at night.

Indeed, Laura knew all this.

She didn’t stop or interfere because she had been young once, too, and had fallen recklessly for someone like July Quinn.

It was precisely because she had experienced such feelings that she worried July Quinn might regret this choice in the future, which is why she earnestly persuaded July Quinn.

"July Quinn" responded to Laura’s advice noncommittally, just as someone came to invite her to dance, giving her an opportunity to escape Laura’s endless advice.

This housewarming party caused quite a stir with the revelation of the "Earl’s" true identity.

But for "July Quinn," today was also a highlight of her life.

Because she had never been so noticed at a party before, nor had she ever been invited to dance by so many outstanding gentlemen.

Until the party ended, she still found it hard to pull herself away.

Laura then brought over a freshly stewed bird’s nest soup: "Drink this quickly and go rest. Your heart just had surgery, you can’t overexert yourself."

"July Quinn" was slightly surprised—when did July Quinn have heart surgery?

However, she didn’t show it in front of Laura and simply smiled and accepted the bird’s nest soup from Laura’s hand.

"You should rest too; you’ve worked hard for this party."

"I’m fine. I just want to see you finish this bowl of bird’s nest soup and then go upstairs to have a good rest."

"July Quinn" hadn’t been cared for like this in a long time, and she drank the bird’s nest soup almost in one go.

But after she finished, she saw Laura furrowing her brow.
