Chapter 119
His heart was beating so fast.
Joy leaped out of his heart. He leaned on her shoulder and held her even tighter.
Alita steadied herself and lowered her head in surprise. She immediately used her elbow to push back. “Rascal,”
shes
scolded.
“Ouch!” Clement felt as if he had been punched in the stomach. He let go of her in pain. Tm sorry, I’m sorry. I didn’t do it on purpose. However, Alita, your figure is amazing” His eyes lit up.
Alita held her dizzy forehead and said furiously. “I didn’t expect you to be so concupiscent at such a young age.” She knew it very well
“Alita, Tm already 20 years old and can be your boyfriend. However, you’ve always treated me like a child, Besides, I seem to like you a linle. Why don’t you be with me and make me one of your boyfriends Clement clenched his fists and placed them under his chin, pretending to be cute. He blinked his eyes in anticipation. His deep eyes were very seductive.
If he
grew up a
more. he would be a top–notch demon who won over girl heartst
Alita had goosebumps and did not take his words seriously. “Kid, don’t let your imagination run wild. Go back quickly.”
She was eight years older than him. She thought it was not a problem for a man to be eight years older than a woman, but it felt strange the opposite way. It would never work out between them at all.
Clement put down his hand in disappointment. “Alita, don’t you think your rejection is too cruel?”
“Don’t waste your breath on me. Since you’re still young. I won’t argue with you about this matter. You probably didn’t do it on purpose. Hurry up and go home. I’m going to rest.” Alita waved at him and turned to leave. She didn’t have the strength to argue with him now
After taking a few steps forward, her wrist was suddenly pulled hack by a gravitational force.
Before she could react, her waist was grabbed by someone with one hand. In the next second, his fruity l*ps pressed against hers. The taste of honeydew spread in her m*uth.
When she regained her senses, Alita quickly pushed him away, but he quickly held her back.
Looking at Clement’s beautiful and innocent face, she understood something. No matter how small a wolf was, he was still a wolf!
“Clement, you… Alita looked at him in exasperation.
“Don’t be angry. Take this ki*s as my reward for helping you last time. Alita, stop treating me like a child. Tm a man who can do anything bad.” Clement blinked seductively.
Releasing his hand, he retreated with a smile and walked out of the door in a carefree manner.
Alita stood in a daze and couldn’t regain her senses for a long time. In the end, she accepted something. A boy forcefully ki*sed her. She thought he was like a cute cat, so she was not guarded. She did not expect him to be like a wolf and bite her out of the blue.
This despicable brat Alita cursed in her heart as she wiped her l*ps, staggered, and walked toward her room in a daze without even closing the door.
She lifted the blanket and lay down. ‘Oh, forget it, I won’t think about it anymore. With my sickly appearance, when a beautiful child ki*ses me, I’m the one taking advantage of him,’ Alita thought.
In a daze, she was swept deeper and deeper by the dark vortex.
At midnight, Alita turned around. A blinding light shot over, and she could not help but narrow her eyes.
The head that appeared in front of her shocked her so much that she immediately screamed, “Oh!”
She was no longer sleepy. She got up from the bed, her heart beating wildly. When she saw who it was, she scolded, “Jaydon, are you trying to
to scare me to death in the middle of the night? Are you out of your mind for real?”
“Oh, my god, I was so scared that my heart was about to jump out of my m*uth. No, this is my room. How did he get in? Alia thought.
As if reading her mind, Jaydon sat by the lard and said, “I came to see you. The door wasn’t closed, so I came in.”
Only then did Alita remember that she had been so muddle–headed that she had even forgotten to close the door. She rubbed her aching temples and looked at the time. It was 12:40 in the middle of the night. It was the most dangerous time.
leave!”
“Did you take your medicine? Did you have dinner?” Jaydon had no intention of leaving. Instead, he asked with concern. He had been here for a long time. When he saw she was sleeping so soundly, he did not wake her up
“I don’t have much of an appetite. I’ll be fine tomorrow. Please leave,” Alita said to him calmly.
“How can you not take your medicine and eat anything?” Jaydon stood up and took a glass of water and medicine from the table. He walked to the bed and handed it to her. “Take it, and your stomach will feel better.”
Alita looked at his hand and hesitated before taking the medicine and putting it in her m*uth. She then took a glass of water and drank a few m*uthfuls before swallowing the medicine.
“Thank you!” She thanked him calmly and handed the cup back to him. It was rare for him to be so considerate. He had bought her medicine and was concerned about her, and there was no sarcasm, only a sense of maturity that made people feel stable.
There was still a trace of gratitude and warmth in her heart,
“There’s no need to thank me. It’s not the first day we’ve known each other. Other than our marriage, we’ve lived together for over a decade. If Grandpa knew about this in another world, he wouldn’t want me to leave you behind. Jaydon stood up again and placed the cup on the table. He lifted the lid of the meal box to the side. Inside was steaming soup.
He took it over and sat by the bed. “I specially asked the chef to make it for you when I came. It’s warm and good for your health. You won’t be listless after eating it.
He picked up a spoon and blew on it to cool it before bringing it to her m*uth.
Alita felt a long–lost warmth churning in her heart. She tried her best to restrain herself from experiencing it. She turned her face away and said, “Save it, Jaydon. Don’t try to move me this way. I won’t fall for your trap again.”
It had happened too many times. He first gave her some love and concern, then he hurt her. Love was a poison that penetrated the intestines, and happiness was only an illusion.
Since it wouldn’t last long, she might as well not be greedy from the start.
Jaydon raised his hand. His heart slowly sank. Finally, his hand fell to his knees. “Alita, I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to hurt you. It’s just that the way you don’t care about me makes me feel embarrassed. Now that I think about it. I don’t know why I hurt you again and again. Perhaps it’s because you hurt me first. Can’t we go back to that sweet time? We have had.
“Don’t say it anymore. I don’t want to bring up the past again.” Alita was afraid that she would not be able to help but resent him again and question him. She was worried she would cry again.
Is it that difficult to move forward in life” she thought.
“Alright, let’s not talk about it. Let’s eat the soup. Just take it that I’m deliberately lying to you. Don’t fall for it.” Jaydon did not want to make her cry anymore. Just now, when he stood by her bed and stared at her for a long time, he realized how spineless he was. Even if she left him thousands of times and even killed their child, he still wanted to hold her back and beg her not to leave.
It turned out that this hatred was just an excuse he found to remind himself not to forget her, give up on her, or let her go too far…
Alita lowered her eyes sadly and used her nails to pinch her flesh hard. She told herself, ‘Alita, don’t fall for his trap. Don’t
His soup was brought to her m*uth again. “Alita, be good and open your m*uth,”
“Boring.” Alita opened her m*uth and ate the soup on the spoon
“You want me to say, “Alita, I order you to open your m*uth. Otherwise, I’ll feed you with my m*uth. Do you think this is only funny when I intimidate you? Alita, you’re too naughty Jaydon smiled evilly and handed her the second spoonful.
“After staying with Evelyn for so long, you became even more childish, Alita finished the soup and sneered.
“Maybe. She’s an innocent little girl, Jaydon replied casually. Taking advantage of the natural atmosphere, he fed her more..
“Don’t you think that she’s very suitable for you? You’re smart, and she’s innocent. You don’t trust anyone, but she trusts you unconditionally. One is strong, and the other is weak. Your personalities are very complementary. Your marriage should last long. Jaydon, I sincerely wish you happiness” Alita’s gaze was sincere. She did not deny that she would feel sad, but what she wanted more was that they could live well separately.
Jaydon’s hand stopped, and his green eyes were filled with indescribable pain. “Alisa, do you know that there are many cruel things in
this world? Some people think that being abandoned is cruel, and some people think that being stabbed and seeing blood is cruel, but to me, your blessing with a smile is the cruelest.
Bright red blood was flowing through his heart. She couldn’t see it or feel it, but it was killing him.
Alita stared at him for a long time before laughing suddenly “Can I interpret your expression as love?”
“What do you think? Even though she asked, he still did not dare to answer directly.
“Since we’re talking about it calmly today, I’ll say it. Look, I can’t understand you. Ever since you appeared in front of me with Evelyn. I’ve always had a question in my heart. You and Cecilia were so inseparable back then. Why did you and Cecilia’s great love disappear without a trace? Do you know what my first reaction was at that time? I sneered in my heart and said. Your relationship is only so–so, And Cecilia is only so–so, When you don’t want her anymore, you throw her away. Speaking of which, what’s going on between you and her? Does she know that you’re going to get married? Jaydon, before you say that you’re in pain, that I’m cruel, that you love me, can you please straighten out this line first? Alita tried her best to be calm, but when she looked back at the woman who had almost killed her, she still couldn’t help but feel agitated.
“I broke up with Cecilia. After you left,” Jaydon replied simply.
Alita was dumbfounded. “Why? What a joke. Instead of making you two be together, my departure only made you
break up, right? Jaydon, you’re too ridiculous. You like to treat women as toys. You can pamper them so much and make them feel like they are in paradise, but you can also send them to hell. This is what you always like to do. Now, it seems that Cecilia is also a victim. After being your mistress for so many years, she was still abandoned in the end. You could he so heartless to your childhood sweetheart, let alone me. I feel much better.
Her sharp sarcasm did not anger Jaydon. “You’re right. I’m indeed ridiculous. When you were around. I felt that the room was not empty. However, after you left, your shadow appeared in every corner of the room. There were so many visions of you, but I still felt empty. So, one day, I broke up with Cecilia. She kept crying and begging me. However, I still left heartlessly because I finally realized she was no longer in my heart. Another woman had replaced her. And it had happened a long time ago. Cecilia’s gentleness allowed me to escape from the coldness you brought me. I had
known her since kindergarten. Before you appeared, I always thought she would he the person I liked the most. However, you kept circling in front of me every day. I started to pay attention to you because of disgust. In the end, it developed into a terrifying habit. When I wanted to stop looking at you, I could no longer quit
And now, she was right in front of him.
Alita was stunned when she heard that. Jaydon could not help but hug her. “Honey, I miss you, I do. It turned out that the existence of wife was not as simple as a sleeping partner but a part of his life. When he had her, he felt at ease, Without her, his heart would be empty, and he would feel uneasy all day.
His embrace was so tight and warm. He called her “Honey” so naturally and intimately. She felt that the divorce principle she had always adhered to was being pushed down by him bit by bit. Her hands slowly climbed up his back and slowly tightened
However, the ringing of the phone instantly pulled Alita’s rationality out.
She pushed him away and went to answer the phone. “Hello?
“Alita, you must be sleeping. I heard that you had diarrhea. I wanted to come and see you, but I’m out of town and have to catch a plane, so I can’t come.” Samuel’s caring voice came from the other side.
“How did you know I had diarrhea?” Alita was impressed by his resourcefulness.
“Well, I’ll know if I want to. Jaydon isn’t at home. Did he come to look for you? But I don’t think you’ll open the door for him, will you?” Samuel asked.
Alita looked at the guy on the bed, who was getting gloomier and gloomier. She smiled and said, “I don’t think I’ll open the door for him” “However, I forgot to close the door, She said the last sentence
only in her heart.
“I know you won’t. Alright, get some rest. I’ll come and see you tomorrow morning.” Samuel’s voice was as gentle as ever.
“Whatever!” It was useless for her to refuse anyway.
After hanging up, she sat up straight and said, “It’s getting late. I’m going to rest”
“Is in Samuel or Kim?” Jaydon questioned.
*h it important?” Alita asked indifferently. She felt a lingering fear when she thought about how he almost broke through the gate of her
heart.
Believing in Jaydon is like believing that snakes are not cold–blooded animals, Alita thought.
“How is it not important? Was everything I said just now for nothing? If it weren’t for this call, would you have changed your attitude toward me back to this? I’ve already expressed my sincerity to you. Honey, I love you. Don’t you understand such an obvious expression? Jaydon felt he had made the biggest mistake by not removing the phone line and turning off her phone.
It was so close.
Jaydon, are you having some memory disturbance? Firstly, let me repeat it. You and I have already divorced. Secondly, please remember that you’re getting married. What’s the point of a man about to get married pestering his ex–wife and saying that he loves her? Or do you want your ex–wife to be your mistress? Jaydon, although you’ve always been so perverted since you were young, and Im
used to it, I’m not interested in playing with you like this. If I would have an affair with you, why would 1 divorce you? No woman is 30 low that she would rather be a mistress than a wife, Alita answered him logically.
She could not guess his motive before he said those words just now. However, she could not understand it even more after he said it. If his motive is to woo me, why would he marry another woman? Is there something wrong with Jaydon’s brain, or does he have another motive? Alita thought.
Jaydon pursed his l*ps and fell silent when he heard her say so.
He had been a little too hasty. What he had said tonight was outside of his plan. He should have endured until that day.
“If you have nothing to say, don’t stay here like a statue. I’ll only sleep after you leave,” Alita pleaded.
Jaydon picked up the soup. “It’s still a little hot. Eat some more
“Are you leaving after I’m done eating?” If that was the case, she would eat it and end it quickly!
“Eat!” He ignored her question and brought the soup to her l*ps.
Alita snatched the soup from his hands and ate it in big m*uthfuls. She finished the soup in less than three minutes and stuffed the meal box into his arms. Done. You can leave now.”
Til leave after you fall asleep, Jaydon put the meal box on the ground and said with a smile.
“Do you think I dare to sleep with you here? This is no different from letting a pervert do whatever he wants. If you’re here, I won’t sleep. Alita protested.
Then there’s no other way.” Jaydon sighed and stood up from the bed.
Alita secretly heaved a sigh of relief, thinking that he was leaving
Jaydon did not walk out. Instead, he took off his suit, lifted the blanket, and lay on the bed.
Alita quickly grabbed the blanket and said, “Hey, why are you lying down? Jaydon, don’t be shameless. Otherwise, I’ll call Evelyn and tell her you’re staying here and refusing to leave.”
“Go ahead!” Jaydon smiled and shook his head. He sniffed the pillow and closed his eyes in satisfaction.
“You…” Alita was furious. She might not be able to sleep the whole night. “Get up and go back to the Lewis family to sleep” She pushed his body. She had to push this scoundrel off the bed.
Jaydon closed his eyes and pulled her onto the bed. He held her head with his large palm and pressed her into his arms. like she was a child, “Alita, be good. Stop fooling around. Sleep well in your husband’s arms”
He
e coased her
“You’re shameless” Alita shook her head. What she couldn’t shake off was his heartbeat.
I can be shameless as long as I have you” Jaydon hugged her in satisfaction. Even if she felt that he was shameless and unreasonable, he didn’t mind. He only wanted to hug her like this. He did not care what would happen tomorrow.
“Jaydon, you must have been a leech in your previous life. Alita mocked him.
“Oh, my wife is getting more and more humorous. Go to sleep. If you don’t sleep… Jaydon gently threatened.
This move was the most effective. Alita did not dare to act rashly. Looking at his grin and the wrinkles at the corners of his eyes, a faint sadness that seemed warm and painful surged in her heart. He had changed from a boy to a man, and time had finally left a mark on this perfect man.
And she also grew up slowly as she looked at this face. She went from a little girl to a woman today, Her 20–year–old youth was about to end, but she gained nothing
She couldn’t help but reach out to touch his face. Just as her fingertips were about to touch him, tears suddenly streamed down her face.
She bit her lip and did not let herself make a sound. Some regret hidden in the deepest part of her heart suddenly acted
warning

without
Jaylon’s shirt was wet. He could feel her fingers quietly approaching and then suddenly leaving. She was crying so sadly, but he dared
not open his eyes.
His ki*s landed on the corner of her m*uth. The hot and silent liquid made the night so sad and painful. She punched his chest and pushed him away again and again, but he hugged her tightly
again and again.
The only thing they had a tacit understanding of was that they were all silent, like a pantomime full of emotions,
In the morning. Alita woke up from her sleep. The sun was already shining brightly outside the window.
She got out of bed and opened the window as usual. After taking a few fresh breaths, she headed for the bathroom.
A naked male body was revealed in front of her as soon as she pushed open the door and entered.
He had broad and strong arms, a firm abdomen, a s*xy butt, and a pair of long and straight legs. Because his mother was gorgeous, he had an almost perfect face.
“Honey, have you seen enough? Ill allow you to touch it. Jaydon looked very calm as he approached her step by step.
Alita took a few steps hack and reached out her hand to block “No! No! No! I’m not interested in touching it. I’ll go out first. Put on your clothes before you come out, okay! Calm down.
“Don’t run away!” Jaydon pulled the woman who was almost at the door back. “You look so satisfied. Don’t you want to give it a try?”
“No, no, no, I’m not satished, and I don’t want to try. I just woke up and saw a naked man in the bathroom, so I was frightened.” Alita felt like she had encountered a male wolf in hear.
Jaydon buried his face in her neck. “But I want to give it a try”
You wish! Alita grabbed his hand and said, “Jaydon, 1 didn’t shower before 1 went to bed yesterday. Now that I’ve just woken up, my entire body is dirty. What’s even more disgusting is that I had diarrhea for half a day yesterday. Think about it. How dirty would it be? Moreover, I ate garlic yesterday and didn’t brush my teeth. Perhaps I have bad breath. Smell it.”
She e moved her m*uth to his
Jaydon let go of her and took two steps back. He was disgusted by her words.
Alita took the opportunity to escape. That was close, Jaydon was a clean freak. Fortunately, she was clever.
At this time, the doorbell rang outside.
“Who’s here so early?‘ Alita wondered as she took a few steps outside and suddenly remembered that Samuel had said on the phone last night that he would come over this morning.
She looked through the peephole. Samuel, dressed in a dark blue suit, was standing outside.
It was indeed him!
Jaydon came out wrapped in a towel. “Who is it? Why is he here so early?”
“Shh.” Alita put her index finger to her m*uth and made a shushing gesture.
She wanted to pretend she did not hear the doorbell ring and not open the door. The guy outside the door wouldn’t leave if a man’s voice sounded inside. Then, she would not be able to go out
However, Jaydon thought she did not want the person outside to know about his existence, which meant she cared,
“Who is it? Kim Samuel?” Jaydon walked over, pulled Alita away, and opened the door.
“Hey, don’t open it.” Alita stopped him hurriedly and pulled him away, but it was too
Outside the door, Samuel, Jaydon, and Alita met face to face.
Samuel’s first praction was that his heart skipped a beat.
On the other hand, Jaydon had a smug look on his face. He held Alita in his arms and said to Samuel with a smile. “Samuel, you’re so early. We just woke up.”
D
Alita shook off Jaydon’s shoulder and looked at Samuel. She sighed and said, “Do as you please. I’m going in to wash my face and brush my teeth. I have to prepare for work”
She turned to run away and save herself from the men’s war.
However, it did not seem to be easy.
Samuel grabbed her wrist. “Did you open the door and let Jaydon in?”
“No!”
“Yes!”
Alita and Jaydon answered at the same time.
“Yes or no?” Samuel looked back and forth between them.
“I don’t have to explain it to you. If you want to know, ask Jaydon. Of course, he’s most likely lying.” Alita felt that she had no obligation to explain it to him.
“If no one opens the door for me, do you think I can pass through walls? I won’t say much. The truth is right in front of us,” Jaydon said with a smile. He pretended to hold his waist and said, “Oh my, my waist is about to break after a night of hard work.”
“Boring.” Alita could not take it anymore and rolled her eyes at Jaydon. She forcefully pulled Samuel’s hand away and turned around to walk into the house.
She returned to her room, closed the door, brushed her teeth, and showered. When she changed into clean clothes and walked out refreshed, the two men were still sitting there, looking at each other and playing mind games.
Alita walked lightly, trying to leave without being noticed, even though she knew it was impossible.
“Are you going to work?” Jaydon suddenly shouted.
“Til send you off!” Samuel came over. Jaydon was not allowed to go out dressed like this.
Jaydon hurriedly hugged him “Samuel, I have something important to ask you”
“You can ask later. Samuel tried to pull Jaydon’s hand away.
“No, I want to know now.” Jaydon hugged him tightly and refused to let go.
This was the best time for her to leave. Alita quickly slipped away. Fortunately, the elevator also helped her. The moment she went out, the elevator door opened.
By the time Samuel came to chase after her, she had already left. He stood at the elevator door with a dark gaze. He felt he could not let them continue developing.
When Alita went to the company, the entire day of work was peaceful.
However, when it was time to go home, she decided to stay in a hotel for the time being. She did not want to see Samuel or Jaydon on the sofa as if it was their home.
In the dead of the night, she lay on the big bed in the hotel, and her heart calmed down. She recalled what Jaydon said last night and thought, ‘Should I believe it? What can I do after that?
Clutching her chest, she asked herself honestly if she was happy when she heard his confession that he loved and missed her, that he had broken up with Cecilia, that he realized he already had her in his heart. She silently thought about it in her heart. She admitted that she was happy. The words “I love you” could not stir the waves in her heart last night, but it burned her heart when she thought about it today. It turned out that he loved her. Jaydon loved her and placed her in his heart.
Now, she could finally secretly say, Jaydon, I loved you too! However, such a confession came too late. So it could only rot in our hearts. We have to move on.
Leaning against the pillow, her heart turned soft and weak into a pool of water. It was ice–blue, beautiful, clear, and filled with sorrow.
Evelyn didn’t get out of bed until ten in the morning.
“Knock knock!”
“Who is it? Come in.” Evelyn got out of bed and sat in front of the dressing mirror.
Samuel walked in. ‘Good morning. Evelyn!”
“Good morning, Samuel!” Evelyn smiled innocently. She picked up a comb and combed her golden hair in front of the mirror.
“I heard you ate something bad and had diarrhea. Are you alright?” Samuel asked.
I’m fine. For some reason, I had diarrhea when I went to Miss Thompson’s company. I was half– dead, so was she Evelyn still didn‘ know which cup of coffee had caused the trouble.
“It’s good that you’re fine. Maybe you ate something unclean at the same time. Samuel smiled gently and sat down. “Evelyn, Jaydon has been going out every night recently. Do you know that?”
Evelyn nodded. “I know. He said he had something to do at the company.”
Samuel shook his head with a smile. There’s nothing much going on in the company. He went somewhere else. Your wedding date is approaching, so you should keep an eye on him.”
“Where did he go?” Evelyn was still confused. Suddenly, she asked in horror, “Samuel, do you mean that Jaydon has another woman? Is that what you mean?”
Samuel smiled meaningfully. “If you want to keep a man’s heart, you need to find a way to keep his body first, understand?” He patted her shoulder. “You have to work hard. I’ll go out first”
He stood up and walked out of the room. His dark eyes were deep and faintly emitting a cold aura.
In the afternoon, Alita called Jaydon
“Hello, Mr. Lewis. We’re going to the bridal shop tomorrow morning. Are you and Miss Jenner available!” she asked politely.
“Miss Thompson, haven’t you been home recently?” Joydon did not answer her question. He had waited at her apartment for the entire night yesterday. However, she didn’t return.
“Do you have time? Please answer me as soon as possible so I can settle with the bridal shop. I’ll call back in ten minutes,” Alita continued to say in a business–like tone and hung up decisively.
After 10 minutes, she called again. “Please tell me succinctly if you have time or not.”
“Unless you tell me where you went last night.” Jaydon was as stubborn as ever.
“You don’t have time, right? Then I’ll reject it. I’ll make another appointment with them. Goodbye, Alita was too lazy to talk so much nonsense with him. ‘Look, staying in a hotel yesterday is such a wise thing to do, she thought.
Jaydon’s voice came again when she took the receiver away from her ear and was about to hang up. “Ill see you tomorrow morning. Where are we meeting?”
“At least I can meet her, Jaydon thought.
Alita put the receiver back to her ear. “Considering Miss Jenner’s habit of waking up late, come over at half past ten. I’ll send address of the bridal shop. This is the best bridal shop in the city. Mr. Lewis, you can try on the gown too.”

“Alright! Send it over. By the way, will you be home tonight?” Jaydon asked.
“Goodbye!” Alita hung up the phone decisively. She had already thought it through. She would draw the line between them. It was his business to come to her. She just had to stick to her principles. For a man who had divorced and was about to get married again, she needed to be sober and rational
On the other end, Jaydon threw his phone on the table in disappointment,
At night, in the Lewis family.
r a while. At almost eight o’clock, he returned to his room and prepared to change his clothes
After dinner, Jaydon went into the study for a and go outs
Evelyn suddenly hugged him from behind. “Jaydon, are you going out again tonight? Can you not go out?”
Jaydon turned to her and said,
1. “I have something important to deal with. I have to go out. Go back to sleep”
I won’t. No matter what, I won’t let you go out tonight.” Evelyn pouted, her face full of unhappiness. She pounced over and hugged him, refusing to let go.
Jaydon was stunned and immediately sensed that something was wrong. He wondered why Evelyn became so disobedient.
He hugged her and asked with a smile, “Why are you unhappy? Did someone say something about me to you?”
“No, no!” Evelyn denied guiltily, thinking that Samuel had come to tell her out of goodwill, so it wasn’t good to betray him.
From her vague answer, Jaydon already understood everything. It seemed that someone had told her something. He wondered who this
person was
It had to be Samuel!
“I’m glad there isn’t. Then I won’t be leaving tonight. Oh, and I’ve got some paperwork to do in the study. Why don’t you come with me?” He knew Evelyn hated places full of paperwork.
The study? I’m not going. Go ahead. Rest early after you’re done.” Evelyn shook her head and walked i
As soon as Evelyn left, Jaydon’s sunny face darkened.
out of the changing room
At 10:10, Alita drove to the bridal shop.
On the way, she called Jaydon again, afraid there would be other incidents that stopped them from coming.
“Hello, Mr. Lewis. Have you guys gone over?” She tried to be as polite as possible.
“Evelyn just woke up and is on her way there. We’ll only arrive around 11 o’clock, Jaydon said slowly as he turned his chair.
“Oh, I see. I’ll go over now, Goodbye” Alita hung up the phone and drove even faster.
They agreed on half past ten, but it was delayed for another half an hour. This belongs © NôvelDra/ma.Org.
Alita went to the bridal shop and communicated with the person in charge. It was almost 11:20 a.m. when they arrived.
“Mr. Lewis, Miss Jenner, you don’t have any sense of time. We agreed on hall past ten, and you said you would arrive at eleven. Now it’s already twenty past eleven” Alita couldn’t help but get angry. This was because the VIP lining area of the bridal store was booked every hour of the day.
“It’s already noon. Why don’t we go eat first? Jaydon looked at his watch and said with a smile.
“Lunch is served here. You still have an hour and a half left on your appointment. I don’t think there will be much time left if you come over after having lunch at an Ocraolia restaurant, Why don’t we make an appointment next time?” Alita didn’t want to be angry anymore. Anyway, she couldn’t do anything to them.
Evelyn was unhappy. She shook Jaydon’s hand and said, “I want to try it today.”
Jaydon smiled. “It’s not as serious as you say. Miss Thompson. It’s just a small bridal shop. At most, I’ll book this place today and give them some money.”
That works. Mr. Lewis, you’re rich and generous. Then you guys go and eat. I’ll tell the person in charge that you want to book this place for the afternoon. Alita said with a smile. She thought. Anyway, it is his money, so I have no reason to interfere
“Let’s go eat together” Jaydon smiled warmly.
