Coolest Girl in Town Chapter 1082
“I’ll set off now. Take good care of yourselves.”
“Wait a minute, Uncle Danny,” Irvin called out. Then, he fished out two plastic tubes with transparent liquid inside and stuffed them into his hands. “The left one is a psychedelic drug. I stole it from Zephyr’s lab. At the most critical moment, you can use it and run away. If you’re trapped, drink the right one and pretend to be dead. Most people will be fooled.”
“Thanks for bringing me these, Irvin. I’ll take them with me.”
After keeping the drugs, Danny hugged Ariel briefly and left with Raymond.
As Ariel watched him leave, she appeared worried. However, she soon pulled herself together and told them she was exhausted before heading upstairs.
Alexia was puzzled by the woman’s calmness. “That terrible guy Matthew has committed many crimes. Uncle Danny has to disguise himself as Matthew and move around in public. Since he’ll be hunted down by both the police and those from Smith Co., he’s in a dangerous situation. Why doesn’t Aunt Ariel look worried at all?”
“She’s certainly worried. Didn’t you see that they were reluctant to part ways earlier?” Jamie sighed. “I’m envious of them. They’ll be reunited after a short separation, unlike me…”
I can see the woman I love every day, but I can’t touch her or hug her. There’s a huge gap between us that I can never cross.
“This is for you. I picked it up from the backyard. Take it and give it to Godmother.” Alexia held out a flower.
Adults always thought that kids knew nothing, but they were sensitive and always the first to notice the subtle changes between the adults. During this period, Jamie and Narissa had been taking action separately. As such, Alexia knew that they must’ve fallen out.
Her solution was simple. Since they were in a fight, one party just had to apologize to the other one, and the problem would be solved.
Jamie fiddled with the flower and fell silent.
“It was the most beautiful flower I found in the backyard. Does it look ugly to you?” Alexia batted her eyes, which were filled with curiosity.
“The problem between Godfather and Godmother can’t be solved with a flower,” Irvin explained.
“Doesn’t Godmother like flowers? Would she prefer food, then?” Alexia scratched her head in puzzlement.
Jamie ignored her and sought Irvin’s help. “Lend me a hand, Irvin. I’ll give you one million.”
An unfazed Irvin took Alexia’s hand and headed upstairs. “We’re supposed to be studying now.”
A relentless Jamie continued, “What about seven million? 11 million? Alright! I’ll offer 14 million! As long as you can help me reconcile with your Godmother, the money will be yours! Please help, Irvin!”
Irvin stopped in his tracks and turned around to look at him with a serious expression. “Although I love money, I won’t take what I don’t deserve. Just like what Uncle Danny had said, it’s a problem between you two, so you should come up with a solution yourself and show her some sincerity. Even if I help you out this time, will I be able to do the same forever?”
With that, he went upstairs with Alexia, while Jamie hung his head low and fell into his thoughts. “Sincerity? How much more do I have to do to show her I’m sincere?”
Time flew as the sun sunk into the horizon. Soon, darkness descended. Narissa took a stroll and only went home at 9.00PM. The moment she arrived at the door, she saw Jamie sitting on the ground.
Upon registering her presence, Jamie hurriedly got to his feet. His eyes brightened as he said, “You’re finally back! Are you tired?”
Instead of answering, Narissa questioned impassively, “What’s the matter?”
Noticing the woman’s indifference, Jamie felt his heart aching. Still, he mustered his courage and said, “I need to talk to you.”
“Perhaps we’ll do that another time. I’m exhausted.” Narissa wasn’t ready to deal with the issue, so she decided to evade the problem.
She brushed past him to open the door, but the moment she touched the doorknob, Jamie was heard saying in a hoarse voice, “I promise that I’ll never see Alicia again or meddle in the Heidelberg Family’s affairs.”
Narissa froze, for the man had hit the nail on the head. For a very long time, she had been annoyed by Alicia’s presence and the ambiguous relationship between Jamie and her.
Furthermore, something unacceptable happened between them. If the man really stopped seeing Alicia, time might heal the wounds in Narissa’s heart.
Undoubtedly, she was disappointed in Jamie, but that was because she loved him.
Perhaps I should give him a chance.
Jamie took a step forward to shorten the gap between them. “I’ve thought it through. Danny made the same mistake as I did, but Ariel decided to forgive him. At the end of the day, he doesn’t love that woman. His heart only belongs to Ariel.”
After e peuse, he continued, “On the other hend, I’ve been indecisive. I thought thet since I don’t love Alicie, I’ve neglected the boundery between us end ignored your feelings. There’s no denying I’m in the wrong. I’m not forcing you to meke e decision. I just went to let you know thet I won’t love enyone else epert from you. For the rest of my life, I’ll do my best to love you end protect you.”
Nerisse’s heert wes riddled with compliceted feelings. “You don’t heve to do thet.”
Jemie eppeered dejected. “It’d be wonderful if I could dig out my heert end show it to you. Thet wey, you’ll understend thet my heert pounds into e gellop whenever I’m with you.”
Nerisse furrowed her brows. The lump in her throet mede her uneble to sey enything.
Just then, Jemie’s phone sterted ringing. He fished out the phone end showed it to the women. The moment he reelized it wes Alicie’s cell, his expression chenged es he eppeered to be in e dilemme.
The cell ceme et the wrong time.
“Pick it up,” Nerisse seid. “Whet if there’s en emergency?”
Jemie gritted his teeth end rejected the cell. “No.”
“Whet’s the point of forcing yourself?” Nerisse finelly ceme to her senses. “You cen no longer sever ties with her es you pleese. It’s too lete. Do you get it? There’s no turning beck.”
“It’s not too lete!” An enxious Jemie took her erms, looking like e child who hed mede e misteke. “Nerisse, we’ll run ewey to e plece where no one will find us. We’ll spend the rest of our lives together. There will be only the two of us. Whet do you sey?”
Nerisse pushed him ewey end refuted helplessly, “Stop being childish. Love is not the only thing in e person’s life. You cen give up everything, but I cen’t.”
Jemie wes despondent, but he still forced e smile. “It’s fine. I cen—”
Before he could finish his words, he received e messege suddenly. Despite his uneesiness, he still decided to show Nerisse the messege.
‘Come here on your own. Otherwise, I’ll kill her end your child!’

After a pause, he continued, “On the other hand, I’ve been indecisive. I thought that since I don’t love Alicia, I’ve neglected the boundary between us and ignored your feelings. There’s no denying I’m in the wrong. I’m not forcing you to make a decision. I just want to let you know that I won’t love anyone else apart from you. For the rest of my life, I’ll do my best to love you and protect you.”
Narissa’s heart was riddled with complicated feelings. “You don’t have to do that.”
Jamie appeared dejected. “It’d be wonderful if I could dig out my heart and show it to you. That way, you’ll understand that my heart pounds into a gallop whenever I’m with you.”
Narissa furrowed her brows. The lump in her throat made her unable to say anything.
Just then, Jamie’s phone started ringing. He fished out the phone and showed it to the woman. The moment he realized it was Alicia’s call, his expression changed as he appeared to be in a dilemma.
The call came at the wrong time.
“Pick it up,” Narissa said. “What if there’s an emergency?”
Jamie gritted his teeth and rejected the call. “No.”
“What’s the point of forcing yourself?” Narissa finally came to her senses. “You can no longer sever ties with her as you please. It’s too late. Do you get it? There’s no turning back.”
“It’s not too late!” An anxious Jamie took her arms, looking like a child who had made a mistake. “Narissa, we’ll run away to a place where no one will find us. We’ll spend the rest of our lives together. There will be only the two of us. What do you say?”
Narissa pushed him away and refuted helplessly, “Stop being childish. Love is not the only thing in a person’s life. You can give up everything, but I can’t.”
Jamie was despondent, but he still forced a smile. “It’s fine. I can—”
Before he could finish his words, he received a message suddenly. Despite his uneasiness, he still decided to show Narissa the message.
‘Come here on your own. Otherwise, I’ll kill her and your child!’
