Sally’s expression brightened at Jasper’s reply. “That’s more like it.”
With that, Sally then looked down and continue to play with the child in Greg’s arms. A smile immediately bloomed on her face. “Oh, the more I look at his small face the more I like him. Come on, smile for grandma.”
“Stay for dinner, Greg. Sally and I are going out to get groceries later, and we three men can have a few drinks tonight,” Charlie told Greg.
Greg replied happily, “Sure, sounds good.”
As the older couple entertained the child, Greg walked over to speak to Jasper.
“When they said Wendy… it couldn’t have been the Wendy Schuler, right?! The Queen Bee from high school, the prettiest student in our county’s number one senior high?” Greg asked Jasper impatiently.
“Hehe,” Was all Jasper replied with.
“That’s so cool, dude!” Greg nudged Jasper. “You’ve succeeded in both love and business. Not bad to have succeeded in convincing Wendy to be your girlfriend. Our ex-classmates jaws would drop if they found out about this.”
“We can all get together for a reunion after you arrive in Nauritus, then,” Jasper said gleefully.
“Sure. I don’t know her too well, but she’s left quite a good impression on me.
“I was the only one in the entire school who talked to you back then, but she treated everyone the same. She didn’t look down on you because you were poor and that alone is enough for me to support your relationship,” Greg spoke.
“On the topic of Wendy, I think she’s told me once that she hates people like you the most,” Jasper taunted gleefully when he was reminded of the funny incident.
“Hate me? Why? I didn’t even talk to her throughout the three years in senior high. How can she hate me?” Greg was speechless.
“Probably because you’re handsome and there were tons of girls following you every day. She said playboys like you aren’t serious with anyone.” Jasper laughed out loud.
