C28 Believe Me

On the way back, Jane Ronan tried to communicate with Edwin Carter several times to let him know the seriousness of the situation. However, the moment she opened her mouth, Edwin Carter looked at her coldly, she swallowed her words back down her throat.

When they got home, she tugged on his sleeve and said carefully, "Edwin Carter, just listen to me once. Don't interfere in this matter. It's not something that you can meddle in. "

Edwin Carter looked at her and held the back of her head, making her look at him. He said gently, "Jane Ronan, trust me."

These few simple words seemed to contain a continuous stream of power that flowed into Jane Ronan's body bit by bit. Her pale face slowly recovered some of its color.

Jane Ronan looked at her, pursed her lips and said carefully, "Edwin Carter, why didn't you ask me why I was locked up in the police station?"

Edwin Carter touched her face and said with a pained expression, "Jane Ronan, no matter what the reason is, you just need to remember that I'm behind you."

He had known about her since three years ago, and she could even be considered to be related to him.

That good-for-nothing from the Gu family had hurt her three years ago. At that time, Jane Ronan hadn't been his, Edwin Carter's, woman.

Now that Jane Ronan was his wife, he couldn't tolerate anyone making her sad, not even blood relatives.

"I …" Jane Ronan hid a lot of things in her heart. She wanted to say it to Edwin Carter a few times, but in the end, she couldn't.

That incident three years ago had been a pain in her heart, and she didn't want to show anyone the scars she'd had in the past.

She had always been trying hard to forget what was bad in the past, trying hard to look forward. But now, what she needed to do was exactly what Edwin Carter said. Believe him.

No matter how powerful the Gu family was, no matter what tricks Christopher Greyson could pull, as long as she remembered how to use force to defend, how to flood the land with water, the Gu family couldn't be strong enough to cover the sky with one hand.

Jane Ronan sighed silently, then heard Edwin Carter's low and sexy voice saying, "I told someone to prepare something to eat, go eat something."

Jane Ronan shook her head. "I'm not hungry."

Edwin Carter hugged her, "Then go take a bath."

Jane Ronan nodded and went back to her room to take a bath. When she came out of the bathroom, Edwin Carter came in with a bowl of ginger soup.

Jane Ronan took the bowl and gulped it down. After drinking it, she threw him a gentle smile. "Thank you."

Edwin Carter put the bowl to the side, pulled up the blanket and covered her with it: "It's getting late, go to sleep. Don't be late for work tomorrow. "

"Yes." Jane Ronan lay obediently under the blanket and looked at him with her big, watery eyes.

"I'll accompany you." Edwin Carter laid down beside her. He held her hand with one hand and patted her back with the other to coax her to sleep.

Today, he was in Lin City discussing a project when he received a call saying that something had happened to Jane Ronan and that he had rushed back without delay. Who knew that he had come back late and locked her up for several hours.

She was only a girl who was not yet twenty-four years old. Normally, no matter how strong she was, if she suddenly encountered something like this, she would definitely feel extremely flustered and scared.

But when she saw him, she didn't shed a single tear. She even tried to smile and talk to him. The more powerful Jane Ronan was, the more Edwin Carter wanted to protect her.

As her husband, he hoped that he could take good care of her and not let her suffer any more harm in this life.

After confirming that Jane Ronan had fallen asleep, Edwin Carter quietly got up and went into the study room. He dialed a number and said, "Luis George, settle this matter properly. Tomorrow, I don't want to hear any gossip that I don't want to hear."

With that, Edwin Carter hung up the phone without caring if the person on the other end of the line heard his words or not.

Jane Ronan was having a restless sleep as she kept shouting something. Her palm-sized face was scrunched up into a frown.

She was dreaming again. This was a terrible nightmare that she had been having all these years.

In her dreams, a group of people were pointing their fingers at her, scolding her for raising such a shameless daughter. Even her elder sister's man had to be taken away from her.

The person closest to her was by her side, but no one stood up to help her. Even more frightening was that these messages were personally sent by them.

She opened her mouth to explain, but no words came out. She could only look at the contemptuous gazes and listen to the curses coming out of her mouth.

"Of course …" It was her mother, who loved her the most, who called out to her.

"Mom …" It took Jane Ronan a lot of effort to shout that single word.

When she stretched out her hand to grab ahold of her mother, the next moment, her mother turned away with tears streaming down her face. "Since young, you have always been smart, smart, and self-reliant. Your sister …"

"What's the point of saying so much? The Jane family does not have a useless daughter like you. " This time it was Jane Ronan's father who spoke.

His father's face, which had always been so affectionate before, was now so strange that Jane Ronan seemed never to know him.

At this moment, she felt that the taut string in her heart had suddenly snapped and her heart had turned cold.

Was it because she had been a strong child since she was young, and because she had lost the heart of the Gu family's eldest young master, that she was destined to be abandoned like an abandoned child?

Jane Ronan suddenly felt very cold, as if she had been placed in a thousand-year-old ice cave. It was so cold that it made people shiver.

Just when Jane Ronan felt that she was about to be submerged in ice water, a pair of warm, large hands grabbed her hand in time and pulled her out of the ice cave.

Jane Ronan abruptly opened her eyes and met a pair of eyes full of concern and tenderness.

"Qin, Edwin Carter?" Jane Ronan, who had just woken up from a nightmare, couldn't tell which one was the real one and which one was the real one.

Perhaps Edwin Carter didn't even exist in this world. He was just an imaginary figure that she had to accompany her.

Edwin Carter held her gently in his arms and patted her back with his big palm as if he was coaxing a child: "How about I tell you a story?"

He knew she was having nightmares, and he knew better what she was dreaming about, but he said nothing, trying to distract her in his own way.

Jane Ronan quietly leaned against his chest and nodded.

Regardless of whether Edwin Carter really existed or not, she only knew that he could make her not be so scared at this moment.

Edwin Carter rubbed her head: "Do you know why the eyes of little rabbits are red?"

Jane Ronan had heard of this story since she was very young. However, she chose to shake her head, wanting to hear what he had to say.

She had just finished shaking her head when she heard Edwin Carter continue in his sexy voice, "It's red because it doesn't use eye drops when its eyes are dry."

Jane Ronan couldn't help but laugh at Edwin Carter's nonsense, "Do you often doze off during class before?"

Edwin Carter nodded and spoke with seriousness: "It's possible."
