Chapter 212

His voice was as casual, but Bethany seemed somewhat afraid of him.

The arrogant expression on her face completely vanished. Pouting, she said in a coquettish voice,” Jack, why are you looking at me like that! I just came to talk to Miss Wilson, is that not allowed?”

Jack cocked his brows. “Then are you done talking?”

“I–I’m done,” Bethany answered nervously. Seeing Jack still expressionless, she suddenly became angry. “Why are you and Frank both such jerks? All you do is bully me! Just wait until my parents come in a few days, see if I’m still afraid of you guys!

After saying these harsh words, she left in her high heels, visibly angry, her footsteps loud.

Once she turned and disappeared, Jack looked at the bloodstains at my doorstep, took out his phone, and made a call to the cleaning company to arrange for a cleanup.

Then, he looked at me helplessly. “Did she scare you?”

“To be honest, I was a bit startled at first.” I smiled and stepped aside to let him in, taking a pair of indoor slippers from the shoe cabinet. “Have you eaten? I made pizza and salad. Would you like to join me for a meal?”

“It seems like I arrived just in time, “Jack teased. Then in his warm voice, he reminded me, “The current head of the Shaw family is Bethany’s father. She’s used to being arrogant and domineering in Jeswood. Don’t confront her directly to avoid trouble.

I washed my hands and handed him a glass of water. “Doesn’t her family care about her? Aren’t those prestigious families very concerned about reputation?”

“Even if she wants the moon, her mother will find a way to get it for her.” Jack took the glass and chuckled softly. “So, what do you think?”

At his words, I understood.

Her family not only care about her but would also stand up for her.

Suddenly, I remembered my childhood. It seemed that no matter what I wanted, my parents would unconditionally satisfy me and spoil me.

That was how I was pampered when I was young.

It was just that my parents passed away too early, and I didn’t have the good fortune of Bethany.

Seeing me about to walk towards the kitchen, Jack rolled up his sleeves neatly. “Allow me. Girls should avoid the kitchen smoke. It’s not good for the skin.”

“It’s okay…” I felt a bit embarrassed for letting a guest cook.

Moreover, I had forgotten he was coming, and the dishes I prepared weren’t elaborate.

Jack looked at me. “Do you still need to be polite with me?”

“Well…” I smiled helplessly. “Okay then, I’ve handled most of the cooking. The rest will be up to you.”

“That’s more like it. Go sit on the sofa and wait for dinner.” Jack smiled politely and walked into the

kitchen.

Before long, the aroma of food wafted out.

After dinner, he didn’t let me clean up the dishes, looking every bit like a good homemaker.

Leaning against the door frame, watching the man leisurely washing dishes under the light, I couldn’t help teasing, “The girl you like, is her husband as good as you? Outstanding work capability, gentle temperament, and even cooks well.”

His movements paused slightly, and he smiled faintly. “Am I really that good?”

“Yeah,” I nodded seriously. “Honestly, among the opposite sex I know, I probably can’t find anyone better than you.”

That was sincere.

“Then would you like to be my girlfriend?”
