Can't Win Me Back

Chapter 2162

Miley kissed Alyssa's cheek. Her eyes were moist as she grumbled, "When will you stop making Jeremy and me worry? Stop getting yourself involved in all these risky businesses!'

'This is the last time. It won't happen again," Alyssa said, sticking her tongue out playfully.

"Miley won't feel at ease if all of you stayed at a hotel, so she asked me to host you here. In all of Kontina, the security at the presidential office is second to the royal palace." Jeremy smiled warmly. He still had the same air of elegance and nobility as before.

The only difference was that his sideburns had started turning gray. Clearly, leading a country was taxing and taking a toll on him.

Miley looked at her husband, Jeremy, with a gaze full of affection. "He might not express it normally, but he thinks about all of you all the time."

Alyssa sniffled, feeling moved. "Thank you, Jeremy."

Jasper was also touched. "Sorry for the trouble, Jeremy."

"We're a family. Of course our hearts and efforts have to be united at such a crucial time." Jeremy walked over and put his arm around Miley's waist. They gazed into each other's eyes silently.

Although they had been married for years, their eyes still contained the same fervor as when they first fell in love and the sweet affection they had during their honeymoon phase.

"Miley, you're making the people around you envious of how loving you both still are."

Jonah was sipping on tea elegantly by the side. His smile brightened. "Dad and Mandy have always been worried about you since you married to Kontina. Now that I've seen you, I can report back to them when I return and put them at ease."

'Miley is the love of my life."

Even though Jeremy was a man of position and power, he was neither arrogant nor impatient. He maintained the same attitude when he appeared before the Taylors.

He said humbly, "I will always remember how my heart skipped a beat when I saw her for the first time. I also remember all the challenges we've been through from the time we met until we got to know each other and fell in love.

"More than that, I remember how much effort I invested just to marry her. I keep all these in mind all the time, Jonah. Of course I will treasure Miley."

Regardless of her status as the First Lady, Miley was now leaning in Jeremy's arms, blushing shyly.

No matter how high their position as officials were, Jonah would always be their eldest brother.

Jasper pursed his lips slightly. As a soon-to-be son-in-law in the Taylor family, he began to feel pressured.

*Jonah, when all of you return to Belbanks safely and meet Mom and Dad, please remember to say a few good words on my behalf. Thank you in advance."

An embarrassed smile came across Jeremy's face. Despite being 40, he was still clueless when it came to relationships.

Jonah nodded, feeling relieved and thankful. He teased, "Of course. This is something you, Mr. President, have entrusted me with. Of course I will get it done well."

Jeremy didn't know how to react. "Oh, Jonah. Stop teasing me."

With the presence of family, the stringent presidential office was filled with a warmth that it had been devoid of for a long time.

Even so, everyone knew this warmth was just the calm before the storm.

Jeremy summoned the presidential office's head of security and the police chief to the meeting room to discuss tomorrow's operation with Jasper and Jonah.

Although Axel had arrived in Kontina, he had yet to show himself.

Alyssa was well aware that Axel was under immense psychological pressure.

The closer he was to a battle of life and death, the more quietness he needed. He needed to settle himself down, so he didn't want anyone to bother him.

Along the way, Alyssa pretended to be relaxed. But, in actual fact, she was on pins and needles and feeling very distracted.

Subconsciously, she had walked to Jeremy's study, and the door was slightly ajar. Through the gap in the door, she spotted Miley in the room, tidying up the piles of documents on the table.

"Miley!"

Alyssa was used to being casual before her family members. She forgot that she was at the closely guarded presidential office and not at Heightsnew Villa.

She pushed the door open and entered straight away. "What are you up to?"

"Hey, Lyse. I'm helping Jeremy with some tidying." Miley continued what she was doing like a gentle and virtuous woman.

If it were any outsiders, she would definitely be guarded against them. But Alyssa wasn't an outsider. She was someone she trusted completely and didn't have to be on guard with.

"Let me help you." Alyssa rolled up her sleeves as she walked over to the coffee table to tidy up the books that were lying everywhere.

"Thank you."

Miley chuckled bitterly. "Jeremy is good in every way except his life skills. He ruins clothes when he does the laundry and almost burns the kitchen down when he cooks. Even nowadays, if I don't attend to him when he attends events, he'd even button his shirt up wrongly. He makes me worried to death."

"I'm sure he has a lot on his mind, busy with the country's matters. He has to worry about the nation and the people. Perhaps he doesn't have the capacity to pay attention to all these trivial matters in his daily life.' Suddenly, Alyssa froze. Unintentionally, she spotted a stack of documents hidden at the bottom of those books. Thanks to her curiosity, she couldn't help but pull those documents out from the bottom of the pile.
