<h4>Chapter 1703: Chapter 1697: Her and I...We Have No Chance Now</h4>


    Regina Kelloway hesitated for a few seconds before telling him the departure date.


    *


    From the moment he left the hospital to getting into the car, Jeremy Lawrence seemed a bit bewildered.


    Even the driver could tell he wasn’t quite himself.


    "Little young master, are you alright?"


    Jeremy shook his head: "I’m fine."


    "But you look a bit tired. Are we going to Heath Vi or Season Vi?"


    Season Vi was Damien Heath’s estate and Jeremy’s second home.


    Jeremy’s eyes revealed exhaustion: "Go to Abbey Road."


    The small apartment he possessed was located on Abbey Road.


    Apart from Joanna, he hadn’t taken anyone else there.


    That little sanctuary was his private retreat.


    When he encountered troubling affairs and didn’t want to face others, he would go there.


    "Abbey Road? Alright, I’ll take you there right away." Although the driver found it puzzling, he didn’t dare ask more after catching a glimpse of Jeremy’s expression in the rear-view mirror.


    The little young master seemed to have a good temper.


    He was mild-mannered in speech and action, and treated their staff courteously without putting on airs.


    However, the driver, who was often responsible for picking up and dropping off Jeremy, was observant and could discern Jeremy’s true temperament.


    Although the little young master appeared to be easygoing,


    he wasn’t actually that easy to get along with.


    When he was unhappy, he would lose his temper as well.

    At the banquet.


    Joanna Lawrence sent a Twitter message to Jeremy, inquiring about Regina’s condition.


    After quite some time, Jeremy replied: The doctor said her condition isn’t very serious. She just needs to recuperate in the hospital for a while.


    Joanna felt somewhat reassured upon reading his response.


    She had met Regina a few times and had a good impression of her, so she didn’t want such a beautiful and lovely girl to have any problems with her leg.


    Joanna: Are you still at the hospital?


    Jeremy: I’ve left.


    ncing at the time, Joanna felt puzzled: Why didn’t you stay at the hospital longer? Girls are fragile at such times, needing care and attention. If you aren’t going to put in the effort now, when will you?


    Having learned of her brother’s feelings for Regina, Joanna was more candid in her words.


    Several minutes passed after she sent the message, and then Jeremy finally replied.


    Jeremy: She said she was tired, that’s why I left. Besides, I don’t think it’s necessary for me to earn any points anymore.


    Joanna immediately sensed that something was amiss with his response.


    She hurriedly asked: Why? Weren’t you fond of her? And now you don’t like her anymore?


    Jeremy: Sister, once Regina’s leg is healed, she’ll leave Closia. I took your advice and tried to persuade her to stay, but she insisted on following her family’s arrangements. Sister, there’s no chance for her and me.


    Upon reading this reply, Joanna’s face disyed a surprised expression.


    She had known that the friend Jeremy referred to must have been Regina even before their earlier conversation.


    She also guessed that Jeremy would attempt to persuade Regina to stay.


    However, she didn’t expect this oue.


    Jeremy: Sister, I won’t being back. If there’s anything that needs to be handled, please ask Ashton for help.


    Joanna guessed that Jeremy was probably in a bad mood.


    After replying, she felt a bit hungry and picked up a te of pastries from the table.


    A shadow appeared before her. As she looked up, she saw Diana Kinsman holding a ss of red wine, taking a seat across from her.
