“Thanks to you, I was able to prepare by reviewing the nanotechnology materials you showed me in

advance.”

Otherwise, she might have been harassed by Ann and embarrassed during the meeting.

“Jackson, are we still collaborating with Universe Blade Group on this project?”

Jackson reached out and tousled her hair, his eyes soft like he was looking at a cherished treasure, “What do you think?”

“Business is business, personal matters are personal. We have to separate them.”

Jackson lightly agreed and then said, “Alright, let’s see Universe Blade Group’s sincerity. However, Gilly. can I discuss something with you?”

Gilda looked up at him, her eyes like a clear pool of water, and Jackson felt his heart skip a beat.

Some things needed to be said eventually.

“Can you change how you address me in the future?”

Gilda’s expression momentarily froze, then she showed a big question mark. Before she could speak, Jackson continued, “From now on, just call me Jack.”

A hint of surprise flickered in Gilda’s eyes. “Jack?”

Jackson was quite satisfied with this address. “Yes, that’s it.”

However, Gilda felt uncomfortable with it.

They had grown up together, and the term “Jackson” had already become a habit, deeply ingrained in her. It was hard to change it all of a sudden.

“But it feels strange.”

“You’ll get used to it. It will become a habit one day.”

As he spoke, Jackson’s mood visibly improved. “Let’s go, I’ll send you home.”

With that, Jackson took her hand, his palm warm and reassuring. It was different from the coldness Jensen used to convey, making her instinctively want to withdraw.

But Jackson held her hand firmly.

Watching the two of them leave, Jensen who was standing nearby frowned, exuding a chilly aura that made Lanny shiver involuntarily.

Chapter 145

Carefully tending to Jensen, Lanny suggested, “Mr. Harrington, shall we go back too?

However, Jensen’s gaze remained fixed on Gilda’s direction, even after they left. The anger in him didn’t dissipate, eventually turning into a faint sense of sadness..

“Lanny, do you think I was really such a jerk in the past?”

This question caught Lanny off guard.

If anyone was a jerk in his eyes, it was Jensen, especially with his infidelity during his marriage, which couldn’t be forgiven.

But Lanny couldn’t say that.

As he studied Jensen’s expression, he noticed a sense of loss he had never seen before.

It was an emotion Jensen, whom he had followed for years, had never displayed. And it was all because of Gilda

Carefully, Lanny spoke up. “Mr. Harrington, who is without fault? The past is the past. If you truly want to win back Ms. Lynch, just show her your sincerity. Her heart isn’t made of stone. She will be moved by your sincerity.”

These words ignited a tiny flame of hope in Jensen’s heart.

“Do you really think so?”

Not wanting to extinguish his hope, Lanny continued, “But, Mr. Harrington, there’s something I must say. In your three years of marriage with Ms. Lynch, there were many unresolved issues, especially… with Ms. Donovan! After all, you and Ms. Donovan… you had a child together. Ms. Harrington might not be able to overlook that.”

As these words sank in.

Jensen’s eyes dimmed.

He couldn’t help but smile bitterly,

“Do you think she would care?”
