An Impossible Marriage novel Chapter 105

Chapter 105 

“Steven, I bet you have never lost a family member before,” uttered Jõdie as she rolled her eyes at him before walking into the rain. 

Steven heaved a sigh of relief when he saw her snapping back at him, which meant she had calmed down. 

As she did not want to return home with negative emotions, she went straight to Jack‘s place. Currently, what she needed the most was consolation from the person she loved. 

When she reached Jack‘s place, the latter was taking a shower. She sneezed and looked for a towel to dry her wet hair when Jack‘s phone lit up on the bed and caught her attention. The moment she picked it up to have a look, she froze, and she felt her blood go cold. At the same time, the roaring thunder and flash of lightning outside seemed to complement her shock. 

Ten minutes later, Jack stepped out of the shower and was slightly taken back when he saw Jodie. Snatching the phone from her, he immediately shouted, “Why are you looking at my phone? 

Staring intently back at him, Jodie snapped, “If you have nothing to hide, you wouldn‘t be worried about me checking your phone.” 

Wearing a cold expression, Jack changed the subject and questioned, “Why are you here?” 

Feeling pathetic and ridiculous, Jodie scoffed, “Why can‘t I be here? I rented this house just for you. Do you have any idea where my mom and I are staying now? We‘re staying in a slum with all kinds of weird people around! We are always in fear whenever we return. And this is how you treat me? My family paid for the fees while you studied abroad. Besides, my dad helped you to land a good job when you returned. I didn‘t even dare to burden you with my family‘s problems, and this is how you treat me?” 

Ruffling his hair in frustration, Jack snapped, “It‘s not what you think it is. If you‘re willing to hear me out, then listen carefully. If not, the door is just right there. As for the money your family has given me for my studies and the rent, I‘ll pay you back as soon as possible. Does that satisfy you?” 

Jodie‘s entire body was shivering in cold and anger. The man in front of her seemed like a stranger to her now. Finding it hard to believe and accept the reality, she 

bellowed, “Explain yourself then. I would like to see how you‘re going to defend yourself!” 

Jack deleted all the messages on his phone before saying placidly, “Sasha and I are just friends. We work in the same company. That‘s all. If you insist on thinking I‘m having an affair with her, then so be it. I don‘t have anything else to say.” 

Jodie sneered. “Sasha? You make it sound like the two of you are close. How do you expect me to believe that nothing is going on between you guys? I saw you two calling each other ‘darling‘ and greeting each other good morning and good night. Do you think I‘m a fool? Do you know what about you that disgusts me, Jack? You should‘ve told me right away when you don‘t love me anymore. Why do you have to humiliate me like this? Is money the problem between us? What do you mean you‘ll pay back the money? Are you planning to cut ties after doing so? Let me ask you one more time. Are you the one who donated the two hundred thousand for my dad‘s surgery?”
