"Well, it's not like that thought didn't pop into my mind..." Jerlina shrugged. "But I knew you'd tell me if it is something regarding me, right? Otherwise, your other businesses... I am not that curious to know about them. I am fine without knowing your secrets till now. I can survive in the future too."
Jeremy sighed. He didn't know what to answer her. He wanted her to be curious about his business.
But he can wait.
Jerlina was a little scared to know his secrets; especially what he does as a gang leader. She might come across the illegal stuff he does and she didn't know what she'd feel about it.
She looked at his face that had a trace of sadness. She understood why.
If she is going to accept him, she needs to accept his past, present, and future. Just like he did. She did tell him that she'd give him a chance.
She needs to prepare her heart for knowing all of him.
