Chapter 447
Jack’s reaction was very solemn. He replied, “Please don’t joke. She’s a colleague at my company.
She’s just a young woman, and she doesn’t have a boyfriend. If you say that, people might
misunderstand.”
The instructor was taken aback. After a moment, she turned and apologized to Cheryl. “I’m sorry, I
shouldn’t have asked.”
Actually, it was a common joke in Easton, so Cheryl didn’t take it to heart.
But seeing how serious Jack had been, she became flustered. She suddenly felt like she was seen
as something precious.
Outside the classroom, Cheryl followed behind Jack. “Jack, Caroline asked me to invite you to her
place tonight to watch Sonia’s new show. Do you want to come?”
Jack didn’t think much about it. “Sure.”
When they got to the elevator, Cheryl looked at Jack’s broad and solid back. She said softly,”
Actually … you didn’t have to be so serious just now.”
“What?”
“That instructor was just joking.”
Jack tilted his head and said, equally somberly, “I know, but I only consider you like my little
sister. I don’t want her to misunderstand the pure relationship between us.”
The smile froze on Cheryl’s face. “L–little sister…”
“That’s right. I’ve always wanted a sweet and sensible little sister like you. Cheryl, is that okay?”
Cheryl was flabbergasted. Why was Jack so clueless? She pressed her lips together but managed
a sweet smile in the end. “A–alright.”
“Really?”
Jack patted Cheryl’s shoulder. “Alright. I’m in a great mood today. I’m going to buy you a gift.”
Cheryl couldn’t find the voice to speak.
Caroline only noticed the gold bracelet on Cheryl’s wrist that afternoon when she got into the car

“Jack gave it to me,” Cheryl answered honestly. Her gaze fell on Jack as he drove in the front seat.
Jack was still very excited. He joyfully asked Caroline, “What do you think of this bracelet, Ms.
Evans?”
“Got it? What do you mean, Ms. Evans?”
