Journey to Happy Ending novel Chapter 1795

"No. I'm not jealous of you. We don't know each other well enough for you to judge me. Don't you agree, Owen?" Richard asked him. Obviously he wanted to invite Owen to join him in making fun of Eden.

Owen was conflicted. He didn't want to get involved in their fight so he stayed silent.

"So you are Owen. I've heard so much about you from my dad. He always told me that you are a calm and wise person. He wanted me to be a person who has some great qualities like you. You are a role model to me," Eden said. Since he was young, he had been a naughty boy. His dad always thought he wasn't mature enough. He always emphasized the importance of being calm and steady to Eden. Now all of them had grown up, and everyone had changed a lot. After all these years, he finally met Owen.

"Uncle Tom was joking. I'm flattered. Actually I'm not that good. You see, we are peers. There is nothing different between us," Owen smiled. The look on his face was still calm. As Eden said, he was a calm man, you couldn't tell his feelings from his expression.

"Owen, don't be so modest. I do think you are way more calm and steady than some egotistical narcissist. You are a good role model," Richard felt angry that Eden wasn't feeding his ego. He wanted to say something harsh to irritate him.

Joyce laughed quietly. She found that Richard was still very childish even though he studied at the military school and went through extensive training. He looked mature but still acted like a careless young boy.

"Hey, Richard, watch your tone and your sarcasm. Remember I am older than you, show some respect," Eden said jokingly.

"Although you are older than me, we are the same height. We are both adults, but I don't see you acting more mature than me," Richard was a little bit angry, Eden's words had irritated him. He felt that Eden made him look bad in front of people. He was embarrassed now. The atmosphere between them got intense. As a military cadet, Richard was still a little bit childish and irritable, he still needed to be trained mentally.

"What's going on? You guys just met and you're already starting to fight?" Justin walked into the house and raised voice at Eden and Richard. He was in a suit with a briefcase in his hand, he just arrived home from work. At first he was happy to see people all gather together, then he found that Eden and Richard were fighting. He felt it was unusual because they had only just met and there was no reason that they should be fighting for.

"Justin, you're back. Look at them. I really can't figure out why they're fighting each other," Jasmine complained to him. She could do nothing to settle their dispute so she walked towards him to ask for help.

"Eden, welcome back. It's really nice to meet you," he said. Justin was older than them so the way he conducted himself in relation to others was more mature. Everyone respected him a lot. He had already established his authority among the younger generation.

"Nice to meet you, too. Justin," Eden was surprised by his warm welcome. He had heard so many wonderful things about him. He knew that Justin was much older than them and had already established a very successful career at a very young age, so like everyone, Eden looked up to him a lot. But Jasmine was an exception because she was Justin's cherished little sister, so she got away with a lot more than the others did.
