“Yes, we really broke up,” Bruce said. Then he had a drink.
“Jessica, I am guilty that I was unfriendly to you,” Bruce apologized for Jessica and he slapped on his face.
Everyone was stunned because Bruce changed himself too fast. Not long before he held his girlfriend’s hand in front of the hotel. After a dinner, he said he had already broken up with her.
The classmates really despised Bruce. But they wouldn’t point it out, which was foolish. If Jessica forgave him, he would become a brother-in-law of a rich and influential man. Nobody would dare to offend him, but people can despise him.
Taylor was braver than any other classmates. She held Jessica’s arm and laughed at Bruce, “Bruce, shame on you! Do you think you stopped doing wrong things now? Don’t you think you are disgusting? Now you find that Jessica’s brother is wealthy, so you try to play up to them? It is shame on you!
“You…” Bruce pointed at Taylor and wanted to scold her, but in the end, he dared to say nothing.
He apologized to Jessica, “Jessica, I am so sorry. It’s my fault. You don’t need to forgive me. But I notice that I like you from the bottom of my heart. I am very sorry…”
Jessica laughed, because she found what the man who she had liked for six year looked like. He was totally different from what he thought. She was disappointed at him when his girlfriend left and he didn’t go after her.
Jessica clinked her glass with Bruce’s and whispered to him, “You think too much. All I said to you is true. Judson isn’t my real brother. I only make friends with him not long before. If I am lying to you, I will be hit by a car. You better go after your girlfriend now. I wish you can live a happy life.”
Jessica felt disappointed at Bruce and she wanted to get rid of him, so she said the curse.
With mixed feelings and hesitance, Bruce raised her glass and apologized to Jessica, “I am so sorry…” He drank a glass of alcohol and rushed out of the hotel.
Jessica shook her head when she saw Bruce leave. She had a drink with Taylor and said, “Do you think that I was stupid?”
Taylor said, “Yes, you are stupid. But it is not late to realize it. What did you say to him?”
Jessica said at a low voice, “I told him that Judson isn’t me real brother and we knew each other for a short time.”
Taylor was so surprised that she kept her mouth open. She looked at the clothes that Jessica wore and the expensive gift before her. She found it incredible, so she said, “Really? Is it true?”
Jessica nodded her head and said, “I swear that he really is not my brother…”
Taylor was shocked and said, “Why is he so friendly to you? Does he like you?”
Jessica denied, “It’s impossible. There is a woman he loves very much. But she broke up with him. He feels more desperate than me…”
