Love Between A Cook And A Doctor novel Chapter 22

Jonny's lips opened and closed again.

Why did this sound so awkward?

"Well, I'll bring my friends here for dinner in the future. You have to give me a discount."

"That's easy." Cherry didn't show any weakness, "Tonight you come here for dinner, it's not for free. I've taken photos, and tomorrow it will be reported. By the way, help me publicize it. "

"You..." This was the real Cherry he knew.

"Drive slowly. I have a guests upstairs, so I won't see you off." She said simply and went upstairs.

The friend next to him patted him and said, "Why don't you leave? You've been watching her for five years, but you're not tired of her? "

He curled his lips.

He hadn't been tired of her after five years? How could it be possible? She was not a beauty!

But why did he feel so bad?

As soon as he entered his exclusive car of seven seats, his mother called him, "Jonny, come and have dinner with me tomorrow night."

"What's up? Is it a big festival? " He said lazily.

"Well. No... " Donna lowered her voice, "Your younger brother ran away from home a few days ago. Your brother brought him back. Tonight, your father said that he would teach him a good lesson. I'm afraid I can't handle him alone. You'd better go home and save him. "

Jonny said casually, "I don't know if I'll be free or not. When dad saw me, he didn't look good, did he? Besides, my brother is there, isn't he? "

"Your brother won't say a word even if he is hit by a stick!" Donna was anxious, "That's a deal. You must come back tomorrow night."

Before he could refuse, his quick-tempered mother had hung up the phone.

He sighed and thought of the cold figure just now.

Maybe he should ask his brother what he really thought of Cherry.

Jonny would be the last one to come when the family had dinner together.

This time, there was no exception.

As soon as he opened the door, York snorted.

Donna mediated, "Oh, Jonny is filming on the set today. He can only come here after asking for a leave from the crew. It's not easy."

York glanced at his son, who was wearing a cheeky face. He really didn't believe what Donna said.

Nancy Nelson pulled out a chair for her second elder brother. Jonny blinked at his little sister and said, "Thank you."

"Okay, everyone is here. Let's eat."

Richard moved his chopsticks, and Jonny noticed something was wrong.

His hand was still injured.

'Was he hit by father?' He wondered.

At the table, the atmosphere was horribly low.

Everyone was like a copy of Jacob. They just ate the rice in their bowls, didn't pick up food, and didn't say anything.

Jonny couldn't help it.

He raised his eyebrows and asked, "Brother, did Cherry invite you there last night?"

Jacob raised his head and glanced at him.

"Yes." He replied softly without a more word.

Jonny didn't give up. "When did you become so familiar with her?" He couldn't help ridiculing him, "Don't forget that she is the one who caused your injury. Besides, Mr. Gavin is only temporarily detained. If he is released at any time, I think you will be in danger. It's better to keep a distance from this kind of woman. "

As soon as his mother heard that he was injured last time, she became nervous. "Yes, that's right. You shouldn't be close to this kind of woman. Maybe you're not meant to be close to each other... "

Putting down the bowl and chopsticks, Jacob looked at Jonny and explained to his mother, "That was an accident."

"What?" Jonny said lazily, "I don't dare to keep her since she made a scene last time. She has been my agent for five years. I asked her to get out of here as well. "

"That's you." Jacob took a bite of the dish, completely ignoring him.

The words "That's you" pierced into Jonny's heart.

He got angry. "You mean I'm a coward?"

Glancing at him coldly, Jacob said, "I didn't say that."

"That's exactly what you mean!" Jonny bit his lower lip and his face turned red with anger. "You're showing off now. You know I've been with her for five years, but I've never shown off."

"People with poor Chinese skills are really difficult to communicate with."

"You are the one who has poor Chinese skills!" Jonny was angrier, "I'm 27 years old now. I don't want to be humiliated by others with my study results more than ten years ago. You are good at Chinese. What have you done? Have you brought your wife back? "

"Sounds like you have one." Jacob retorted.

Jonny was pissed off.

Who said that he would not quarrel when he was scanty of words?

Didn't he refute him with every word?
