Enchanted By His Charm



According to Leo's plan, there would have been worse things if he had been there late. He was late, actually. He was more regretful as he saw Irish's frightened look.

Irish held his neck tightly immediately, and soon her tears fell down.

She didn't know what she was afraid of.

Maybe it was Leo?

Or maybe it was the terror brought by the scene occurring in her mind suddenly?

She felt that maybe it was the latter.

Because of Leo's behaviour, she only felt angry.

But Joseph couldn't figure out what she was thinking, and he only felt that she was frightened by Leo's actions. Although he was also annoyed as he thought of the scene, he could only resist his anger, hold her and comfort her as he witnessed Irish's weakness.

Irish just cried beside him, "Sorry, sorry."

Every time she said it, he would feel hurt. Actually, he didn't protect her well.

"Irish, you are not wrong. It's me." 

"No." Irish shook her head. Her cheek was buried into his neck. "I made you ashamed. It must be true..." Finally, she began to have a clear memory. Thanks to Joseph's comfort and breath, her terror disappeared gradually. All in her mind were Leo's behaviours and the scene when Joseph ran into the office.

There must be many people who have seen the scene. Joseph must have been ashamed.

Irish felt more and more regret. Because of her impulsion, Joseph had to be insulted by others.

Joseph was touched by Irish's crying. He tightened his arms and held her more tightly.

Soon it was early June.

It was getting hotter and hotter.

The monthly rose twined on the guard bar and blossomed in New York's streets, decorating this large city.

In this month, the whole city was filled with the aroma of jasmine. People used all kinds of nutrition to speed up jasmine's blooming. Many shops put one on to add a sense of aroma in such hot weather. 

Seasonal changes and the human being's growing pains were unavoidable.

Irish's rumours didn't disappear with the coming of a new month. It cooperated with every sunny day like the fire, flaming. 

It was the day when Lilith got married in June.

When it was still not bright, Kelly and William were busy preparing. As it got brighter, they would urge Lilith to get up quickly and get dressed as a bride.

They knocked at the door, but there was no action.

William had no other way, and he just called Kelly. Kelly knocked at the door again, and then she just pushed the door to come in. She screamed out soon.

"What's wrong?" William came forward as he heard her screaming.

The room was empty. The blanket and pillow were put in order, and nobody seemed to have slept there.

Kelly just leaned against the door due to terror.

William entered the bedroom and just took up a note on the head of the bed. It read, "Mom and Dad, please forgive me. I can't marry Lenard."

They were all shocked.

Lilith, this good girl, who used to listen to her parents, left the house in the morning when she was to marry someone!

Jay had been nervous for the whole morning.

While in his workplace, he just sat there and stared at the calendar. He marked today in red. The red colour was as shining as the blood.

Today was Lilith's wedding date. 

He just sat there out of his mind. All in his mind was the scene where Lilith walked on the red carpet with Lenard in her wedding dress.

He didn't even notice the phone ringing on the desk.

His colleague couldn't stand it and just got it through for him.

He just put it down after saying some words.

"Jay." The colleague waved his hands to Jay to give him a reminder.

Jay still stared at the marked date.

The colleague pushed him, and then he had a response.

"It's time to have a meeting." The colleague said.

Jay turned his look away and got prepared for the meeting.

The director hosted the meeting. In the meeting, he inspired all the police officers.

Jay was like an outsider. He didn't know what the director had said. He even had no response when the director complimented him.

"Jay." Another colleague touched him.

Jay recovered himself. Noticing everybody staring at him, he stood up immediately.

The director smiled and encouraged him again.

Jay stood still and said, "Policemen are for the people."

"Good. Please sit down."

As Jay sat down, his phone shook.

He took out his phone and found a text message from Lilith, "Jay, could you please take me away? Let's not take anything into consideration, shall we? I can't marry Lenard. I love you! We are in love with each other, aren't we? Why did we depart from each other? I will wait for you on the Silver Bridge beside the Hudson River. If you love me, please find me."

Jay was startled as he saw this message.

And then there was joy in his mind. That was to say, Lilith had run out of the house.

Jay's heart beat quickly. He knew that it was wrong to do it, but he had an impulse to do it. Actually, when he was awake in the morning, he was so sad that he even intended to grab the bride.

However, he kept telling himself that he was not acting in a drama. This was reality. Would grabbing one's bride happen in reality?

Obviously, Lilith was braver than he had imagined.

From the very beginning to now, she did something that shocked him again.

She was at the bridge.

She was waiting for him!

When it occurred to Jay's mind, he stood up immediately.

The director was frightened by him, so he just stopped speaking. Jay became the focus again.

Jay didn't care about the director and other colleagues' expressions, and he just apologized and rushed out of the meeting room.

The director opened his mouth surprisedly.

Just today, the scolding of Irish on the internet and by the media reached the headlines.

Was human nature good?

At least when the public talked about this topic, they were quite joyful, and they even hoped that it could become hotter and hotter.

When she was criticized by the public as "she would not have been like this for not being rich", she finally found out that most of them who put her down did it not because of her work ethics discrepancy but because of her status as the daughter of the Lakes, She finally found out how great their hatred for the rich was.

Sitting in the car, Irish was unhappy. Joseph just held her shoulder and comforted her softly, "Today is Lilith's wedding, Lilith will worry about you if you still act in this way."

They were to join in Lilith's wedding.

Irish tried her best to make a smile. The phone rang. It was from Roy. He asked whether Irish had connected with Lilith or not. Irish was surprised, and she asked what Roy meant. Roy told her anxiously that Lilith had gone somewhere unknown.

Irish was totally startled. Joseph also felt doubtful, and he just took over the phone. After knowing about the whole process, he told Roy they would help find Lilith. After the phone, Irish murmured, "Could….Jay know it?"

Joseph dialed Jay directly. Their call time was really short. As it ended, Joseph sighed. Irish asked what was wrong. "Jay said that he would take Lilith away," Joseph said.

Irish opened her eyes, "Is he crazy?"
