Faced with Kevin’s concern, Jessie felt a warm sensation in her heart. However, she also found it strange at the sa ti.
"You are quite amazing. Do all you repairn have such sharp eyes?"
"Yes," he responded briefly, taking out a healing patch from his pocket and applying it onto Jessie.
His actions made her feel a bit embarrassed.
"When did you buy this?"
Kevin was taken aback for a mont before he quickly replied, "As a repairman, I often accidentally get injured, so I always carry so patches just in case."

As a matter of fact, he had just bought it on his way there.
Lilian also returned with dicine from the pharmacy. Seeing the scene, she smiled faintly and stepped out to give them so privacy.
It wasn’t until Kevin left that she ca back in, muttering, "Tch tch tch, you’re saying you guys don’t have feelings for each other? I think you two are quite close. Mr. Harper rushed over personally to apply dicine when he heard you were injured."
Hearing this, Jessie shook her head and explained, "No; he just had so business to deal with around here, so he ca by to check on . Being a repairman, it’s normal for him to notice my injury so quickly, right?"
Even while saying this, her heart felt warm.
Though Kevin appeared cold on the outside, he was actually a person with a very sensitive nature.
Upon returning to the company, he imdiately spotted Adam drinking coffee at the door, looking casual.
"Yo, back already?"
Kevin ignored him, ready to leave straight away. However, Adam couldn’t tolerate his aloof deanor and chuckled.
"I’ve heard that your wife and your admirer ran into each other today. Oh, I even saw the two of them together on my way to work."
"You saw them?" Kevin stopped in his tracks and raised an eyebrow at Adam.
"Of course. Guess what? Your wife and Miss Rossi were also chatting happily. Tch tch tch, what will you do if they beco friends?" Adam said with a cheeky expression.
Kevin only gave him a look, too lazy to argue with him. Then, he went straight into the elevator.
Adam, however, was eagerly looking forward to the unfolding events. He had never seen Kevin leave the company in such a hurry before. This friend of his was definitely being reeled in slowly by his wife, and he was truly anticipating the dramatic mont when Kevin’s identity would be revealed. By the ti that would happen, he expected it to be a big scene of a certain soone being reprimanded.
However, Kevin did deserve so hardship for flaunting his new shirts and dishes in front of Adam that morning.
‘Does he do all that just because I don’t have a wife?’
Upon reaching the office, the first thing Kevin did was call Leon to complain about Julia’s behavior. Leon was quite helpless when it ca to his sister.
He had restrained Julia nurous tis, but even if he locked her at ho, she would find a way to escape.
He was initially furious over her little antics. However, he sowhat turned numb to them over ti, unable to control her actions anymore.
"President Harper, I’ve told my sister many tis, but there’s no helping it; she really likes you and insists on pursuing you."
"Besides, you’re not married yet, and there hasn’t been a pursuer around you for years. Considering my sister’s sincere feelings, could you tolerate her a bit more?"
Kevin felt quite troubled and hung up the phone.
Julia was like an immortal cockroach; no matter how coldly he treated her, she would act like nothing happened and persistently chase after him. Even if she got embarrassed in public, she would remain unfazed and simply claim that whatever she set her sights on, she would get it regardless of the ans.
Leon sighed at the call that had ended, feeling exasperated. Julia was really giving him no peace of mind.
Just as he was about to call her over to reprimand her, she called him instead.
As he answered the call, she imdiately said, "Brother, do you rember that mother and daughter who were in the news before? I t the girl today. She seems really nice, very gentle, and nothing like what her relatives claim. It’s so unfair how they treated her!"
He recalled that she used to criticize this mother-daughter duo, yet she switched sides once the backlash ca.
Most of the online gossip was fabricated, and he had already cautioned Julia against choosing sides too easily.
Just as he was about to lecture her, he rembered how she had harassed Kevin and imdiately began scolding her.
"You still have the nerve to talk about sothing else? Didn’t you go after Kevin again today? I’ve told you countless tis to stay at ho or find sothing proper to do. Didn’t I assign soone to keep an eye on you? How did you get out?"
Julia scratched her head; she certainly couldn’t tell Leon that she had climbed out of the window, could she? That would bring another round of scolding.
"Oh, Brother, if I’m going to pursue soone, of course, I would need to make my presence visible. By the way," Julia quickly changed the subject. "One of that girl’s relatives works at our company! Such a disgusting character, we should fire them as soon as possible!"
He sighed; he was familiar with her tricks, but he didn’t say anything else.
"Is firing an employee over that really necessary? I don’t need to handle such trivial matters."
He had always emphasized that his staff should not only have competence but also integrity. Without it, everything else was futile, and Leon was unwilling to employ such people.
Julia fud. "They should taste their own dicine! The evil deeds they did should be repaid by themselves."
She wasn’t just speaking out because she t Jessie today, but she also couldn’t stand how her family managed things.
"However, did you listen to what I told you just now? Stop interfering with Kevin..."
"Brother, what did you say? I can’t hear you. Hello? Hello?" Julia babbled and quickly hung up.
If she ended the call any later, she would probably get another scolding.
After that, she drove straight to the Rossi family’s old mansion, which was close to the Harper family’s residence. Unfortunately, her chances of eting Kevin were slim since he was rarely back there, and she hadn’t even seen him recently.
No, she had to find out Kevin’s new address.
Once inside, she saw Marco giving Isabella a shoulder massage, comforting her as he did.
"Honey, we can’t rush things. If we can’t find the clues, there’s nothing we can do."
