Seeing James Leaford staring intently at this car, Joshua Thompson thought his uncle had also taken a liking to it.

“Uncle, this is Jeremy Norman’s car, he just sold it to me.”

“Your car?” James Leaford excitedly stepped forward, grabbing Jeremy Norman’s hand without a word. “It’s you, it really is you!”

At this moment, the other people inside the door walked out as well, especially Zoey Lambert, who looked astonished when she saw this car.

“Mr. Norman, this car is indeed yours! We’ve been looking for the owner for quite a while, never expecting you to be right in front of us.”

Zoey Lambert laughed, relieved, now her father wouldn’t have any trouble sleeping again.

Jeremy Norman thought James Leaford would kick him out, but unexpectedly, he was exceptionally warm when they met.

Instinctively, Jeremy Norman guessed it must be because of this car.

“Uncle Leaford ”

“This car is yours, right?” James Leaford interrupted him.

Jeremy Norman’s gentle face was filled with a humble smile: “The car is mine, but   ”

James Leaford immediately hugged him, trembling with excitement: “It’s you, it really is you, my life-saving benefactor!”

Seeing everyone’s puzzled expressions, Zoey Lambert explained to them: “After the company’s accident, my dad worked overnight and was in poor mental condition. He almost met with an accident while crossing the road, but the owner of this car stepped up and used the car to block the wheels of the oncoming vehicle, saving my dad from being hit.”

Hearing this, Molly Walker’s heart clenched tightly.

She never thought that her uncle had gone through something like this.

“Uncle, are you okay?” Molly Walker hurriedly looked at James Leaford, her heart still pounding.

James Leaford had only sacrificed the company to protect her. If her uncle had been in a car accident because of this, she would never have peace in her life.

“Jeremy, thank you for saving my uncle.” Molly Walker sincerely thanked Jeremy Norman.

If it weren’t for Jeremy, she would have had to live with guilt for the rest of her life.

As everyone thanked him, Jeremy Norman had various explanations at the tip of his tongue, not knowing where to start.

No wonder the car’s front had been crushed like that before. It turned out that the car’s owner saved someone, but it wasn’t him who saved the person at that time.

Jeremy Norman raised his eyebrows, and under immense pressure, tried to explain: “Uncle Leaford, you’ve got the wrong person, actually, I didn’t save   ”

“Jeremy, don’t be modest! I know what you mean, you’ve always kept it a secret from us because you thought I was still blaming you and your father. Don’t worry, I, James Leaford, am not that kind of person,” James Leaford laughed, “We can see you’ve been deliberately hiding it from us all these days, otherwise, we wouldn’t have been searching for days without finding anything.

It’s only natural for companies to prioritize their interests first. I may not agree with Sebastian Norman’s methods, but I understand the principle of blaming the right person for wrongs done. Since you saved me, you are my benefactor. From now on, the Leaford family owes you a life. If there’s anything you need help with, just let me know. As long as I can help, I’ll repay your life-saving kindness.”

Hearing James Leaford’s sincere words, Jeremy Norman’s face turned a little pale.

After such a solemn declaration, if he continued to say that he wasn’t the person involved, the situation would become very awkward.

But this kind of thing can’t be concealed. Once it’s revealed later, his integrity would be questioned by Ivy’s family.

“Uncle Leaford, I don’t mean that.” Jeremy Norman showed a bitter smile, “I am indeed not the one who saved you.”

“Ah, Jeremy! If Uncle says so, it must be true.” Joshua Thompson waved his long arm and put it around Jeremy Norman’s shoulder, whispering, “You know, before you came, Uncle said you weren’t even allowed through the door, and that any issues should wait until later.”

“But   ”

“Uncle, we are all hungry. Why don’t we go in and eat first?” Joshua Thompson raised his eyebrows.

James Leaford kept saying “good good good” and enthusiastically led them into the house.

Seeing Jeremy Norman with a worried frown, Joshua Thompson pulled him aside: “Do you still want to marry my sister?”

Jeremy nodded.

“Then don’t explain, just settle this matter first. You can find the car owner yourself later and explain the situation. The car owner who does good deeds without leaving a name must be a generous adult. As long as you can reassure Uncle, it’s not a big deal to tell a few white lies.” Joshua patted his shoulder consolingly.

“If Michael Gallagher really died, your ascension would be sooner or later, but he’s alive again, so just build up some goodwill for now.” Thinking of Michael’s “resurrection,” Joshua couldn’t help but be furious.

He couldn’t believe he had encountered such a dramatic turn of events; it was truly unlucky!

Hearing Joshua’s heartfelt words, Jeremy pondered for a moment before reluctantly nodding.

He could only temporarily take credit for the original car owner’s good deed, and he would personally apologize later.

Throughout the meal, Jeremy was very polite. James Leaford kept thanking him and repeatedly offered him wine: “Jeremy, you should stay here tonight, and make yourself at home.”

Molly Walker looked at James Leaford without saying a word, while Jeremy felt like he was sitting on pins and needles: “Thank you, Uncle Leaford, but I have something to do tonight, so I can’t stay.”

In order to avoid exposing himself, he had to hurry and find the original car owner.

When Jeremy left, Molly and Joshua went to see him off together.

Jeremy was clearly uneasy today. When they reached the door, Molly asked, “Is there something you want to tell me?”

Jeremy had been looking at her hesitantly while eating dinner.

Thinking about the misunderstanding that had happened that day, Jeremy wanted to explain. However, seeing Joshua continuously giving him meaningful looks, Jeremy eventually changed the subject: “The day after tomorrow is my birthday, and I would like to invite you to my birthday party ”

When he said this, he paused, with a touch of shyness.

His family held the birthday party at home every year, as it was their tradition to have a grand celebration for each birthday. However, given what his father had done and the fact that his mother had not been a saint either, he was already anticipating Molly’s refusal deep down in his heart.

Unexpectedly, Molly smiled openly: “Of course I’m going to your birthday!”

Setting aside personal grievances, Jeremy had been very good to her, and had saved her uncle’s life. She had to go to his birthday celebration.

“Not only will I go, but Uncle will also attend.”

Given her uncle’s character, even though he disapproved of Sebastian Norman’s actions, he had come to treat Jeremy like family. If it weren’t for Molly’s firm decision to break off the engagement, her uncle might have called Jeremy his son-in-law on the spot.

“Thank you for saving my uncle. I will bring a grand gift to your birthday celebration.”

How could she not be moved by Jeremy’s repeated kindness? But love was unpredictable, and with a new life growing inside her, she couldn’t really let Jeremy raise someone else’s child as his own.

Seeing that Molly didn’t hold a grudge, Jeremy’s lips revealed a smile, making his face soften: ‘Good, I’ll be waiting for you.’

After Jeremy left, Natalie Lambert called Molly aside: “Cousin, are you really not planning to continue your engagement with Jeremy Norman?”

Molly nodded: “It was just an act in the past, not meant to be taken seriously.”

“What if the act became real?” Zoey Lambert looked at her deeply, “After what happened with the Jenkins family, I realized that marriage is better decided for oneself rather than being manipulated by others. It’s better to find someone who’s good to you early on.”

“Perhaps you only have a favorable impression of Jeremy now, but as you get to know each other, that could turn into love.”

Thinking of something, she quickly added: “I’m not saying this just because he saved my father. I’ve investigated him thoroughly over the past few days, and from all aspects, he’s a suitable candidate for marriage. Regardless of how his parents are, at least he’s sincere to you. Cousin, I hope you can find happiness sooner rather than later and don’t continue to wait for Michael Gallagher.”

Moved by Zoey’s heartfelt words, Molly’s heart stirred slightly.
