Lie Flat, Sugar Daddy novel Chapter 27

Jensen drove Karina to the side of an artificial lake, and the two of them walked together slowly for a while.

Although it was hot at night, but still there were a lot of people who came down for a walk or to exercise. The lake was near a housing estate, making the scenery here more lively.

“It must be nice to live here, it’s convenient. But my father always said that the air in the countryside is better. What do you think, Jensen?” Karina asked the man beside her.

“Karina, why do you want to be with me? For love? Or because of your father?” Jensen could not help it. He had found that Karina was a innocent girl, so he hoped that he could make things clear with her.

“It’s not because of my father. I, I do want to, I…” Because of her natural reserve, Karina can’t simply tell the man she liked him. As her voice receded, she lowered her head.

Jensen was unable to speak. The best ending he dreamed would be that Karina loved someone else and was also forced to marry him, if so, things would be much easier to solve. Although Zain valued on benefits, but his love towards Karina was real as well. He would not sacrifice his only daughter’s happiness merely for business benefits. Yet now Karina’s answer had disappointed him, he did not believe that Karina really like him. Did she really know him? “Then why do you like me?”

“Well... you’re excellent. No one would refuse a man like you.” Karina answered seriously. She saw that Jensen took out a cigarette and lit it up, and she asked either, “Then what about you? Did you get together with me because of your family?”

Jensen slurred with a cigarette in his mouth, his voice was dull, “Well, actually…”

“Jensen!” Karina was suddenly afraid of hearing the answer. It turned out that the feeling of being rejected by a man she loved was so upset and uncomfortable. She said hurriedly, “I have to fix my makeup.”

Jensen did not pay heed on her.

He stood still where he was puffing on the cigarette. It was getting late, he thought, when Karina came out, they should leave and return their own homes. He did not know if his girl finished dinner tonight. She was so lazy, and usually if he did not go home, she would probably grab a bite. Thinking of this, Jensen took out his phone and called her.

“Hey, what’s up.” Rae laid on the couch, her face full of cucumber slices. Her right hand was holding her phone, while on her left hand she held half a cucumber, ready to eat.

“What do you want to eat, I’ll bring it back for you.” Jensen heard the clear sounds of her munching on something, it looked like she was hungry.

“You’re so kind, Mr Knight!” Once Rae heard this, she immediately sucked up to him and exclaimed. Then, she continued seriously, “Well, some fried chicken, beef pasta, and one more salad, please. I have a pour appetite tonight, so that’s all.”

“…” Jensen was speechless, poor appetite? But the food she wanted was not as less as she described. “Can you change the fried chicken into something else, it’s not healthy I think.”

“Now way, man.” Rae was instantly annoyed and she started shouting at him, “You asked about what I want to eat, and I want them all. If you are not going to buy me chicken and why did you ask!”

“Alright, fine. I’ll go buy them.” Her shouts made Jensen’s temples throb.

“Well, Mr Knight, then I’ll wait for you to come back…” Rae’s tone instantly lowed down to what it used to be.

Jensen smiled as he shook his head, thinking that she must be a transformer.

Jensen who was on the phone did not realize it, but Karina had already come outside. She stood behind him and was looking at him in surprise. As her bag was left on the car, and she was too focused on him and that was why she had forgotten this. Yet she did not expect she would see the other side of Jensen because of this.

Besides being distant, he actually had other emotions.

Comparing to this, the Jensen before her was like a robot. Only towards the person on the other side of the call, did he look like an actual living person, a person with his own emotions. Karina suddenly wanted badly to know who the person on the other side of the call was, what did she look like, how was her personality like, and why Jensen was so nice to her…

Obey to her despite feeling exasperated.

Karina felt shaken. If Jensen had someone he loved, then if she continued to butt in it would seem unkind.

As the two parted, Karina did not let Jensen to send her back, instead she stood by the road waiting for her driver. What made her reconfirm her thought further was that Jensen did not wait until she was fetched to leave, but took her bag out and passed it to her and he immediately left in his car. He must surely be in a hurry to buy supper for the person on the other side of the call. Thinking of this, Karina lowered her head, her entire person looking disappointed. Because she found that she was actually envious of a person that she had never met, she was very envious of the person on the other side of the call!

After a while, the driver came and Karina got on the call. Karina got on the car and found that Zain was there as well. She greeted, “Dad.”
