Chapter 691 Elise Is Cheating
At that moment, Jack almost blurted out his findings. However, he could not get himself to say it as he looked at Winona.
“Do you like Craig that much?” Jack did not understand why he asked that.
When he asked that question, he did not even realize that he was gritting his teeth fiercely, and his eyes were full of reluctance.
“I love him,” Winona said earnestly, “No matter what happens to him, I will bear through the situation with him. So I’m here not only for Craig but also for myself and my future. I don’t wish my other half to suffer too many hardships when he’s at his best age.”
Meanwhile, Jack looked at her expressionlessly. The light in his eyes dimmed a little. Then, just when he felt that he could not hide his emotion, he quickly looked away. “Maybe it’s your wishful thinking? What if he does not think the same way as you? How many first love examples that you saw would last long?”
Although Winona was a little confused, she still smiled and said stubbornly, “Maybe this is the difference between men and women. Men always think a lot and feel that the end result will not be good, so they don’t leave room for the possibilities. But for women, she will still give her everything and make the relationship last longer even if the relationship is destined to not end well.”
“Only an idiotic woman will think so,” Jack refuted, feeling exasperated that Winona’s answer did not meet his expectation.
Winona smiled bitterly when she heard that. “Mr. Jack, you’ll understand when you fall in love in the future. All the women who are in love are all idiotic.”
When Jack heard this sentence, he was so distressed to the point that he felt his chest was about to burst with all the words he had swallowed.
“Then leave. I won’t explain much to an idiotic woman.” Jack looked at the ceiling arrogantly. He was willing to be the villain. “You can just think of it as I dislike Craig and intentionally make things difficult for him. This is how society works. Many things happen for no reason.”
Just like Winona likes Craig, I, too, can’t bear to watch her being sad.
After Winona finished listening to his words, she slowly stood up and bowed to Jack. “Mr. Jack, thank you for teaching me a lesson. I’ll keep it in my heart.”
After that, she stood up straight and expressed her stand calmly again. “Let the things that had happened go. Mr. Jack, let the grievance between you and Craig be written off once you’re done lashing out your anger. I’ll accompany him to start all over again in the future. When that time comes, I hope you’ll turn a blind eye, and we can still be friends. If you insist on cornering Craig to a dead end, then we can only part ways from here on out.”
Winona pursed her lips and smiled perfunctorily after she said her piece. Then, she moved her feet and left.
Jack sat silently on the sofa and maintained the same posture as he stared into space. His eyes, which seemed to be filled with a sea of stars, seemed to have flames burning in them at this moment.
He clenched his well-defined hands into a fist. As his knuckles rubbed against each other, they created a crackling sound.
I’m jealous. But what right do I have to be jealous? Winona has made it clear. She loves Craig. Even if he is penniless, she still loves him! I’m the one who lost. But instead of feeling ashamed, why do I feel so sad as if something was clenching my heart, making me can’t breathe?
…
Since the last time Johnny attended the banquet on behalf of Kenneth, his name nearly disappeared from Elise’s life.
Just when Elise felt that this person would not appear again, he asked Johnny to personally deliver her a room card of the hotel’s Presidential Suite and a note.
“All your mysteries will be explained at 8 o’clock tonight. I won’t leave if you don’t show up.”
Elise looked at the room card and the note in her hand expressionlessly, making it impossible for anyone to figure out what she was thinking.
“Miss Sinclair.” Johnny reminded her warmly. “Escaping won’t solve the problem. Mr. Bailey will not disappoint you this time.”
