Chapter 131
Trevor's voice was gentle.
Actually, he didn't want to go to her house, but he was afraid Jessica would suspect something or something else might've happened to her.
However, he couldn't take it anymore. He thought about her every second and couldn't even sleep in the middle of the night. He would toss and turn in the bed where she slept. He might lose it if he continued not to see or talk to her.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Gulliford. We didn't prepare an extra set of tableware for you," Alfred said coldly when he saw what was happening the moment he walked out of the kitchen with the dishes.
He placed the dishes down on the dining table in the living room. His eyes were filled with hostility.
Trevor's eyes were burning with anger as well when he saw that Alfred was there.
Alfred! If it wasn't for you three years ago, I would've found Jessica! How dare you act so impudently right
now? Trevor thought.
"Mr. Whiteburn, I can't believe that you still have the time to cook for my secretary when the Whiteburn family is facing a business crisis. Have the Whiteburns survived it?"
Trevor lowered his hand from where he pinned Jessica earlier while turning to look at Alfred with a contempt look.
Jessica's heart clenched when she heard what he said.
"The Whiteburn family's business crisis? Oh my God! Could it be Trevor's doing?" she wondered.
"There's no need for you to worry about that, Mr. Gulliford. Anything else?"Content bel0ngs to Nôvel(D)r/a/ma.Org.
Alfred furrowed his brows. He knew Trevor was targeting him.
However, he wasn't bothered by it and wouldn't back down. He had been dealing with the company's matters lately.
Alfred believed that he could definitely make Trevor admit defeat one day, and he would do his best for
Jessica.
"What? Is this your home?" Trevor asked as he glared at Alfred with mockery in his eyes.
"Does he think he's the man of the house?" he thought. Trevor had specially investigated Jessica and found out that she hadn't gotten married yet for the past three years. en NovelDrama.Org
When he got the news, he beamed.
"Then, is this your house, Mr. Gulliford?" Alfred asked back with a frown.
At that time, he was taking off the apron and looked like the man of the house.
"Yes. Jessica is my fiancee, so my home is where she is," Trevor replied bluntly while placing his long hand on Jessica's waist.
He worried too much about his pride in the past. This time, he had decided to swallow his pride and hold Jessica tightly in his arms.
"Oh? Did I hear it right, Mr. Gulliford? Fiancee? Isn't Leah your fiancee?"
Alfred was on the verge of exploding, but Jessica's
stopped him. He was worried that
affect her health.
"Alfred, you know it won't take me long to destroy the Whiteburn family, right?"
Fury filled Trevor's eyes. "Does he think I'm a man with a good temper?" he thought.
Usually, he would be pretty magnanimous. However, one mustn't try to test his patience. In other words, Jessica was the person dearest to him who could only be his. No one else could touch her.

Alfred remained silent. He didn't dare to provoke Trevor at that moment because he knew how ruthless Trevor was in the business world.
"Mr. Gulliford, please stop it. Please don't drag others into our matter."
Jessica frowned. She didn't want anything to happen to the Whiteburn family because of her.
"I don't want to do anything to him, but that man keeps trying to come between us. He's probably overestimated his abilities."
Trevor turned to speak to Jessica. When he did that, his tone and look in his eyes turned gentle.
All traces of hostility were gone.
Yolanda, who was standing at the side, felt the tension in the air. She tried to ease the tension. "Let's eat." Trevor lowered his gaze to look at Jessica and asked her softly, "I haven't eaten yet. Mind if I join you?"
In fact, he had already eaten the meals made by his chefs at home, but he wanted to join them on purpose.
