Mark answered decisively, "Sure, go ahead with your experiment."
Jessica skipped toward the lab but turned back for a lighthearted reminder, "Bro, don't get so caught up in your dates that you forget my meal."
Mark couldn't help but laugh, "I won't."
Only after their exchange ended did Shirley glance at her watch. "Let's just eat at the campus café. That way, you can easily pick up something for her."
"Are you upset?"
"No, I've got stuff to do later anyway."
"Alright then."
The two headed to the campus café, and Shirley barely spoke throughout the meal. Noticing Mark was busy replying to messages and chuckling at his phone, she put down her fork and knife.
"Who are you texting?"
"Jessie. She managed to blow up a glass jar in the lab. The mentor is going to have a field day. It's the first time I've seen someone actually blow up a jar. Kind of goofy, really."
Shirley forced a smile, suddenly finding herself unable to eat. She pulled out her phone and saw a message from Abner, frowning slightly.
【No thanks needed, and remember no phones during class.】
There was no reply; class was probably in session. Feeling a mix of discomfort and uncertainty about whom to share it with—especially since senior year was so hectic for everyone—she sat opposite Mark, watching him laugh at his phone, feeling as though she was suffocating. She knew making a scene would only lead to her father threatening to send Abner away again.

The readers' comments on the novel: Dear Ex-wife Marry Me novel (Maja)
Author, would you story about Ryan settling down and another story on Eric regaining his body and memories back from Patrick, and Eric also settling down as I find it so disheartening for him to have gone through what he went through at the research institute, and I'll like for him to get his "golden boy" life back though, not at the detriment of Ian....
When will the author update to finish Beck's story? What about Dylan and Tyler's love lives? Also, I'll like the author to write on Wilma and Elvis ending up together as she was quite persistent in pursuing him. And Shawn's story, Cornelia Sullivan and Omar Casson. Also, a little write-up on Jeff (Ian's assistant) love life, too. Thanks, author for updating....
