Chapter 885
Returning to Casterwich City, Jeremy took a breath of the familiar air. He suddenly realized that this place had become one of the places he missed. His house had already been sold to someone else. This time, he changed to a new residence. It was a new place and a new beginning. The past was completely thrown out of the window.
Standing at the door and looking at the uniquely decorated villa, it seemed to him as though his old home had been moved over. He gently closed his eyes and took a deep breath.
Casterwich City, he had finally returned!
"Perhaps it is because of you, the air here feels different to me..."
Carrying the suitcase, Jeremy took out the key. He raised his gaze, and there was a pair of delicate feet peeking out from the skirt. He was very familiar with them.
Frowning, Jeremy turned his head sideways. Suddenly, a thin figure jumped out. Before he could react, she had already pounced on him.
"Jeremy, you're back! I've been waiting for you for ages!"
Holding Jeremy in her arms, the travel- worn Cecilia smiled happily.
It was obvious that he was stunned. Jeremy pushed her away and his tone suddenly turned cold, demanding, "How do you know I live here? Didn't I tell you to leave?"
As he turned around, Jeremy was very annoyed.
In the past six months, he had gone to many places to relax, and Cecilia had always been pestering him. During the past month and a half, she had been absent from class. Even her family had reached out to him to question her whereabouts, but she just wouldn't leave him alone!
At this point, Jeremy didn't know what she wanted from him.
He tried to refuse her gently, but she pretended to not hear him. She called him Jeremy, but he told her it was not suitable for her to call him that. Then, she called him her brother-in-law. He could not deny that at the beginning because she did accompany him through a period of painful hardships. However, now, she was a nuisance to him.
Jeremy opened the door, while Cecilia was still pulling her luggage and chasing after him. There was not single a trace of displeasure on her face. "It's very simple! I just called the real estate agency and asked. Jeremy, I've been taking art classes for half a year, so I don't need to go to school. I can come to Casterwich City to study, and I'll live here with you!"
Turning around, Jeremy glared at her.
"Cecilia, I'm a man! Do you know what will happen when you stay with a single man? It's dangerous!"
"But I like you! I am willing to give myself to you. I will never regret it!"
Faced with her passionate eyes, Jeremy's heart skipped a beat, and then it was replaced by an incomparable annoyance.
"Cecilia! You are a girl, how can you be so shameless? Have I not made myself clear enough? I don't like you! I like mature ladies, not little girls like you. You keep calling me 'brother-in-law', yet you're trying to seduce me. Don't you feel ashamed? Why don't you focus on your studies? Stop following me! I don't like you at all, and I will never like you. There's someone else who I love!"
Although it was not the first time she'd heard such words, she was a woman after all. Cecilia's expression was a little embarrassed and it suddenly turned pale. She looked down, twiddling her fingers, and the rims of her eyes became slightly red.
"I know, but she's married!"
Cecilia knew all about his past and his love for that woman. Furthermore, it was because she knew of his past that she felt pity for him. Jeremy wasn't a bad person, but he'd been cheated by Lindsay for so long. Nevertheless, she still loved him!
Moreover, he was no longer her brother-in-law. He didn't belong to Cecilia's sister, and Cecilia liked him. Thus, why couldn't she pursue him? Cecilia gritted her teeth and felt dissatisfied.
What was wrong with being younger than him? She hated it when he rejected her because of her age as it was just a number!
At the sight of her disheveled hair and pitiful look, Jeremy could not bear to be cruel anymore. Unconsciously, his tone became a little softer.
"Cecilia, I'm not the right person for you. You're a sensible girl. Our relationship is complicated, not to mention that I can't be with you plainly because of my uncle and father."
He couldn't hurt Cecilia. He had
already pulled out of marrying one of the Castle family's daughters. If he continued a relationship with her, he would offend the entire Castle family. Mr. Castle may look gentle, but he had a hot temper. Besides, was

even more difficult to deal with! Things were horribly awkward with them. If he didn't make up his mind, he was afraid that things wouldn't be easy to deal with.
"Does that mean you still like me?"
While muttering, Cecilia sniffled and suddenly raised her head again.
She argued, "Those are external factors, and external factors can be overcome! At worst, my dad will break my legs and kick me out. Anyway, I can't control myself now. Jeremy, if you refuse to give me a chance, I won't ever let you go! Don't

because we haven't even tried How do you know it is not
appropriate? I know that I want to be with you. Even if I had nothing, I would still be happy as long as I'm with you. I have never been out so far from home alone! Back in Yecaeus City, I don't even need to worry. I even want to protect my sister because I am Miss Castle. They all know my identity and will show me respect. In fact, I'm afraid when I come to a strange new city like this. But for you, I have to overcome it. I know that I must be brave no matter how afraid I am!"
After a pause, Cecilia couldn't help but shed a few drops of tears.
"Although Waverly lost her mother when she was a child, my dad, my elder brother, and the whole family dote on her more than me. My mother is the stepwife, and I'm just a girl with a low status in the family. In order to please my dad, my mother even treats Waverly better than me! She often tells me that I shouldn't compete with Waverly and that I can't be compared with her! In the Castle family, I have parents, and my status sounds great on paper. But everyone knows that the eldest daughter of the Castle family is the most precious one in the whole family! Waverly is gentle, and she neither fights nor bullies me. I like her too, but I also want a person who only cares about me and is kind to me!"
In her memory, Jeremy was the only one who was more tolerant of her than her sister. Perhaps it was this special feeling that satisfied the desire hidden in her heart. Cecilia was very clear about her own feelings. She wanted this man in front of her. He would not be biased against her just because of Waverly's beauty and superior status.
This strong feeling made her have an extremely good impression of Jeremy.
"If you were my brother-in-law, I would have held back no matter how much I liked you. But now, I just want to fight for our love. I want to be good to you. I want to stand by your side and go through life with you!"
As soon as she finished her words, her stomach growled and she wiped away the tears in her eyes.
The next second, a conciliatory tone sounded. "Come inside and talk!"
