Love You Enough to Leave You novel Chapter 74

For some people, no matter how good you are to her, she will not appreciate it.

After Jennifer returned to the office with Carter, Carter accused, “Jennifer, what‘s your agenda?”

Jennifer‘s eyes were red, but she tried to act arrogantly. “I have no agenda. I just want to declare in front of everyone that I am your girlfriend and that we‘ll be engaged soon. What‘s wrong with what I say?”

Carter was pissed and amused at the same time. He had never seen a weirdo like Jennifer. She was rather relentless, shameless, and stuck to him like a piece of gum on his shoe.

“Jennifer, don‘t you feel shameless about yourself?” Carter provoked.

Jennifer also sat on the sofa. “You will soon be my fiancé, and I am not wrong, so why should I be?”

Carter scowled. “Jennifer, I don‘t like you. You are not my girlfriend. You will only annoy me more like this. You are young, attractive, and capable. Why bother with me? I don‘t think I have done anything to make you misunderstand my feelings for you.”

Jennifer answered, “You also admit that I am young, attractive, and capable. So, which part of me is it that you don‘t like? Tell me, and I will change it.”

Carter could feel a faint throbbing on his forehead. “Jennifer, stop messing around, would you?”

“Carter, I really love you. Although we have not known each other for a long time, I had heard your name from my parents and seen your photos. You are my ideal Prince Charming. So when Mrs. Yard proposed to arrange a marriage for me, I persuaded my parents to come back here just to see you. For you, I am willing to be merely a director of design. I can even use my own contacts to market your

company. Can‘t you feel my sincerity?”

Carter rubbed his bulging temples.

“Carter, are you unwell?” Jennifer noticed his discomfort.

“Jennifer, I know you are very kind to me, and I am very grateful that you can come to work in my company. But the engagement is another matter. It is impossible for anything to happen between you and me. But if you are willing, I will treat you like a sister.“

Jennifer clenched her fist in dismay.

She stared at Carter aggrievedly. “Why exactly is Amelia better than me?”

Carter confessed truthfully, “You are better than her in all aspects. But you are not her, so I can‘t have feelings for you. The place in my heart is already taken. I am sorry.”

Jennifer abruptly stood up, strolled to the desk, and leaned forward with her hands on the desk. Her sexy figure could make any man‘s nose bleed.

However, Carter just glanced at it for a second and then subconsciously looked away a sec

Jennifer noticed the waver in his eyes. She smiled coquettishly and then unbuttoned two buttons on her shirt, revealing her bosom, making her appear even more seductive.

“Carter, you‘re obviously having reactions to my body. Why don‘t you admit it? As long as you want, you can have me and everything I have.”

His whole face darkened towards her attitude. He bellowed in a frustrated tone. “Button up your clothes.”

Not only did Jennifer not obey, she boldly went around the desk to sit on Carter‘s thighs but was pushed away by Carter unexpectedly. He commanded coldly, “Dress up. Don‘t make me disrespect you.”

Jennifer‘s eyes turned red again. She felt ashamed, bitter, and annoyed when she met Carter‘s unsentimental eyes. She was the princess of superior family background and had never been treated by men like this.

Now, she had even resorted to seducing but was wholly rejected.

Jennifer wept, “Carter, do you really hate me this much?”

“Carter, no matter what, it was your family who arranged the marriage. Mrs. Yard also said that we should be engaged. So even if you don‘t want to, it‘s gonna happen.”

Carter responded angrily, “You are simply unreasonable.”

“I become unreasonable because of you. I have never liked someone so much. You are the only man I have ever fallen for. No matter what, you have to be responsible for me.”

Carter was so cross that an unnatural bout of laughter escaped his throat. He pointed to the door and stated firmly. “Get out. I will talk to my parents about the engagement. No one can force me to do things that I don‘t want to.”

Jennifer glanced deeply at him, then turned and stalked out.

In the evening, Carter received a call from Mrs. Scott, asking him to take Jennifer back to the house. He knew that it was unavoidable, so he called Jennifer, and they went together to his house.

The Larson couple were also there. Jennifer and Carter entered the hall together, and Jennifer greeted everyone politely. She then sat submissively in front of the elders.

In front of the elders, Jennifer looked like an obedient girl, well behaved, and always spoke softly.

Carter has never seen a woman who can act so professionally without revealing any trace of a lie.

He even thought that she should as well pursue an acting career.

Mrs. Scott was obviously delighted with her. “Jennifer, how are you doing in Carter‘s company?”

Jennifer replied sweetly, “It is perfect. The colleagues in the company are nice to me, and they all took extra care of me. I am thrilled to be able to work there.”

Mrs. Scott became even more satisfied after hearing her answer. “Carter, Jennifer works in your company. You should care for her more, understand?”

Carter nodded without any expressions.
