Chapter 782: I'm Holding You Back

"I didn't." Pehry will definitely not admit it.

However, the more he refuses to admit it, the more difficult it is for Jasmine to calm down. "Pehry, what
happened? Why don't you tell me?"

After saying that, she can't help but wonder, "Does someone from your family say something else?"

Jasmine knows that his family is not satisfied with her. Normally, she will not think so much, but at such
a sensitive time, she has no choice but to think too much.

The moment his grandfather leaves, he becomes so busy that he doesn't even have time to see her.
She doesn't think that it's a coincidence.

"I just have a lot of things to do at work. Don't think too much about it." Pehry is unwilling to mention
anything to her. She can't solve such a problem. In the end, she can only think nonsense.

However, he doesn't know that Jasmine will only think more if he keeps silent.

Seeing that he is determined not to tell her, Jasmine can't help but get angry, "Pehry, am I your
girlfriend?"

"Of course." Pehry holds her in his arms, wanting to joke around, but she raises her hand and pushes
him away.

"I'm not messing with you. Why do you interfere when I get into trouble, but you keep silent when things
come to you?" Jasmine bites her lips in grievance. "I know you don't want me to get worried, but I want
to do something for you. Don't look down on me, okay?"

"I am not looking down on you. Indeed, it's not a big problem. I don't expect that I will come back so
late. Otherwise, I will tell you in advance." Pehry is a little helpless, but it is more a kind of indulgence



and pampering. "I'm already very satisfied to see you at home, so don't ask anything and just stay by
my side quietly, okay?"

The man in front of her reveals his true face.

Jasmine notices the exhaustion and tiredness in his eyes. She knows that her demands may make him
even more tired, but this feeling of not knowing anything is not good.

They look at each other silently. After a while, Jasmine's tone softens and reasons with him, "I know
that you are very tired, and I will be with you. But I want to know your thoughts. If you keep silent, and I
pretend that I don't know, then the distance between us will grow further and further."

"No." Pehry raises his hand and touches the little girl's head. He knows that she is thinking for his sake,
but he doesn't want to tell her those cruel truths. "Men are upset about their jobs. My grandfather
doesn't like you. But he doesn't like any women around me. Don't worry about it. His opinion isn't
important. It's just that he has added more jobs to me. That's kind of spur."

Pehry picks out the less serious part and tells her. He knows that if he doesn't say anything, she will not
be able to sleep peacefully tonight.

Sure enough, Jasmine does not continue to question him after hearing that. Instead, she lowers her
head silently.

Pehry gently raises her chin and says, "I just don't want you to know that. Be happy, okay?"

"I feel like I'm holding you back..."

"What nonsense are you talking about?" Pehry feels a little distressed for the little girl in front of him.
"It's my fault, don't think too much."

After saying that, he quickly added, "Of course, it's impossible for me to let you go."



"I don't want to leave you." Jasmine, who is not good at expressing her feelings, put aside her
conservatism and reveals her feelings to him, "Although I have never been in love, I am very certain of
my feelings. I have never thought of giving up when I am with you. I will always be with you."

She is not that casual, comparing to a dissolute young man like Pehry. However, she is very
courageous. Especially when she is determined, she will not give up easily.

Pehry knows about that, but after experiencing this incident, he understands her better. She is braver
that he thinks.

He smiles for the first time tonight, "Work hard for you, it's worth it!"

…

People have connections to his family quickly know that Pehry will take over the family business.
Pehry's grandfather has expected this, so he is not surprised at all.

At the same time, he doesn't loosen his surveillance over Jasmine. That girl is still close to Pehry.
Although she is stuck at work, they try their best to meet each other.

Pehry's grandfather is a little annoyed. He thinks that a twenty-year-old girl will easily give up. Even
Pehry doesn't care about it, she will get worried.

But things are always unexpected. She is persistent.

"Mr. Alfred, what do you think Jasmine is going to do?" A subordinate notices that Pehry's grandfather
doesn't look good and asks.

"I remember you said before that her parents went back to their hometown to recover from their
injuries, right?"



"Yes, it was Mr. Pehry who helped deal with it in the hospital. He even had dinner with Jasmine's
mother."

"Send someone to her hometown to make clear our position. Don't hurt them, but show our attitude."

"Yes."

"That's right," Pehry's grandfather paused for a moment before recalling Jasmine's appearance in front
of Pehry. "Don't let Pehry know about that, just let Jasmine know about it."

"Alright."

A shrewd man like Mr. Alfred doesn't need to spend too much effort to figure out their current situation.
It must be Pehry who doesn't tell her. Since that is the case, he doesn't mind being the one to tell the
truth.

The people that Mr. Alfred sends out arrive at Jasmine's hometown the next day. The city is small, and
the neighbors know each other. After a little inquiry, they confirm Jasmine's family address.

It's in a very old neighborhood. There are short and dilapidated residential buildings with no elevators.
At the entrance, there are a few trash cans.

The person in charge of handling this matter is a man named Macon, and Mr. Alfred trusts him very
much. He is in his early forties. With a flat head and a scar in his left face, he looks fierce.

He goes up alone and knocks on the door without hesitation.

The knocks on the door are frightening.

A voice comes from the door with poor sound insulation, "I'm coming..."



In less than half a minute, the door in front of him is pulled open. An old woman appears in front of him.
It is the face he has seen on the materials.

When Bridget sees him, she can't help but be stunned, "Who are you looking for?"

"I'm looking for you."
