Chapter46Â
He had stabbed her countless times, and now he wanted to write it off with a doll?Â
Sadie’s expression was cold. “Jeremy, I don’t like doll bears anymore. Don’t you know?”Â
Jeremy’s expression was a little stiff. “Really? I remember you used to like this.”Â
“That was in the past. I’m a high school student now. My hobbies will definitely change.”Â
After Sadie finished speaking, Jeremy’s eyes were filled with embarrassment. He felt even more guilty. It seemed that he, as a brother, was indeed not competent enough, so he did not even know that she did not like doll bears now.Â
Lorena stood up and said, “Jeremy, you’re usually so busy with work and have to take care of your younger siblings. It’s normal that you can’t remember so much. At least you can remember what Sadie likes. I don’t have family now, so no one can remember what I like. I envy Sadie who is cared about by her family.”Â
Jeremy understood that Lorena was giving him a way out. His heart softened a little.Â
Sadie always felt that he was biased, but Lorena was so sensible. It was difficult not to treat Lorena well.Â
He said, “Lorena, you’re a part of the Douglas family. I remember what you like. I’ll give you a surprise later.”Â

Lorena revealed a flattered expression and turned to look at Sadie. “Just accept this gift. After all, what you don’t like is something that others can’t get even if they’re envious. “Sadie stared at Lorena. So this woman wanted to take everything from her?Â
Huh.Â
Sadie took the bear and stuffed it into Lorena’s hands. “Now you haveÂ
it.”Â
After that, she turned around and left.Â
A late concern was cheaper than grass.Â
She would not be swayed by this small favor. “Sadie, where are you going?”Â
Jeremy quickly caught up with her. “I know you’ve been wronged all this time. In the past, I was too busy with work and ignored your feelings. I promise I won’t do this again.”Â
After hearing this, Sadie felt that it was not worth it.Â
It was not worth it for herself, who had given everything in her past life.Â
Sure enough, a crying child had candies, but she didn’t pursue that candy at all.Â
Sadie’s expression was calm. “That’s all. Don’t follow me. “Jeremy stood in front of her. “No, you have to go back with me today. You can’t leave with that school doctor. I talked to Nathan Reese today. I’ve already asked Rhett to move out. This way, it won’t violate any rules and you won’t be in any danger.”Â
Sadie did not look too good. She knew this would happen.Â

“Sadie. I’m your guardian now. The school doctor isn’t. There areÂ
already rumors in the school. I can let you stay at home and prepare for the exam.”Â
Sadie lowered her eyes to hide her anger.Â
She said in a hoarse voice. “So what Jeremy said just now won’t let me suffer. Is that it?”Â
Jeremy was helpless. “I’m doing this for your own good! It’s not a big deal. Why can’t it be resolved peacefully? Must you run away from home to force us?“Again, for her own good?Â
Then why had she been abandoned in her past life and died so tragically?!Â
Sadie walked forward with a straight face. The only thing that supported her now was the countdown to the college entrance examination.Â
She could not make troubles for Sean. Although she was fine today, if Jeremy was serious, it might not be the case.Â
Sadie got into the car and sent Sean a message: [I’m going home first. I’ll talk to you later.]Â
Jeremy heaved a sigh of relief when he saw her get into the car.It seemed that Sadie was indeed in a huff. If he showed weakness today, she would be exposed.Â
It seemed like he had to be more concerned about Sadie in the future, lest she felt that she was biased towards Lorena and not good enough to her.Â
They returned to the Douglas familyÂ
Sadie got out of the car first and ignored the people around her.Â

Jeremy looked at her back and could only sigh helplesslyÂ
Lorena got out of the car with a teddy bear in her arms. “Jeremy, I believe Sadie will understand your painstaking efforts. “When Jeremy saw Lorena hugging the teddy bear obediently, he could not help but say, “If she can be as obedient and sensible as you, I’ll be grateful.Â
Lorena lowered her head. The expression on his face was obedient enough.Â
During dinner. Sadie did not see Rhett. Only Jeremy and Lorena were there.Â
Sadie quietly finished her meal and prepared to return to her room. She noticed that Jeremy was holding his stomach and seemed to be feeling a little uncomfortable.Â
