“Does Victoria know that you come back? She said you were coming back when she was on video with me half a month ago, and I thought she was joking.”
Then Jenny feels unhappy, “Why didn't you tell me before you came back?”
“I am afraid she learned it from her brother. I did not tell her that.”
“If she knows you are eating with me, she will come and blackmail you right now.”
Jenny looks down with a smile, brushes her hair around her ears, and her elegant swan neck glistens with silver necklaces.
Adan’s eyes reflects her face alone, as if they can hold nothing else.
It is dark outside, and they are like old friends whom they has not seen for a long time. They talk about life and troubles and the ups and downs of the past as if they can talk about anything.
Adan does not want to break Jenny’s unguarded mentality towards him, so he chooses to keep silent for a while and hide his heart.
“Where are you living now? I’ll take you back.”
The waiter drives the car to the door of the restaurant. They walk out of the restaurant together. Adan opens the door of the car and makes a gesture of greeting to Jenny.
At first, Jenny hesitates. She thinks that it will be strange if she says no. So she decides to go back to her apartment tonight. And she gets into the car.
“I live with Victoria in a single apartment, which is not too far from here.”
Adan is a very funny man. He talks about many interesting things in the car. Jenny does not laugh so much for a long time.
On the way, Luke calls Jenny.
“Where are you?”
Luke is speaking coldly as before and Jenny does not find nothing different. She looks around at Adan. Then she lowers her voice and says, “I’m with my friends. I’m going back to my apartment.”
She has not yet figured out how to tell Adan and Victoria that she is married, so she plans to keep it a secret until she is a little more stable.
There is no way to explain the pregnancy, after all, and she worries that the more people know it, the more trouble she will meet.
After the thing about pregnancy is over, she confesses to Victoria and Adan.
There is a long silence on the other end of the line. Just when Jenny thinks he has hung up, Luke is speaking again, “Aren’t you coming back to the Flower House tonight?”
Because Adan is looking on and she is afraid of Adan will think to much, so Jenny does not explain much. She just says, “It’s too late today. I’ll talk to you tomorrow about something.”
Then she hangs up.
Adan asks simply, “Your boyfriend?”
Jenny’ face turns red, “Yeah.”
They are legally married, so they are boyfriend and girlfriend.
Adan becomes numb and hesitates for a long time without any reaction. What does it mean?
In his mind, a boyfriend, maybe the man who is chasing her?
Jenny is pretty, so it’s normal for someone to pursue her. But she still lives in a single apartment with Victoria. That means nothing is going anywhere.
After all, he knows that Jenny just breaks up with Frankie
Then, Adan mentions Frankie in a roundabout way to take care of Jenny’s mood.
“I heard that Jessica, your best friend is going to get married.”
