My Love My Hatred (Jennie and Lance) novel Chapter 54

Chapter 54 Get Married 

I saw the rapid change of expression on Leo’s face. He must not have expected me to say that I do not want to be with him. I, Jennie Gomez, who loved him so much, said no to him.

“Jennie, I...... I know it is my fault, can you forgive me?” 

His eyes were filled with anticipation, it made me distress and heartbroken, but I know I have to be cruel, to him and to myself, to avoid a triangular situation. 

“No, you hurt me, and you can‘t just come asking for my forgiveness like that!” 

This must be the cruelest thing I have ever said to him. If it was last time, I wouldn’t say such things to him, to hurt him. 

Leo looked at me, heartbroken. He wanted to caress my face a few times, but he didn’t, he stared at me and said: “Then what do you want me to do, to have your forgiveness?”

“Nothing, just stay away from me, I already have a boyfriend. Although you and I are siblings, but we are not blood related, if we get too close, my boyfriend would get angry.” 

I lied straight to his face, but I didn‘t dare look at him, because he would know that I‘m lying if he saw my eyes.

Leo stood up and stepped back in disappointment. He laughed bitterly and said: “Wow, I didn‘t expect you to have a boyfriend already. Good...... you‘re not young anymore, it‘s time to date. Brother will never bother you anymore.” 

My tears kept running down like the waterfall. From the corner of my eyes, I saw Leo. He must be heartbroken and hurt by me. 

It’s better sooner than later.….. this hurt is inevitable, I shouldn‘t waste his time, so it‘s best for me to hurt him now than later...… 

During dinner, Leo didn‘t turn up while Lance‘s face was as dark as the night sky. My head was held low, looking at my own plate, while mom kept serving Uncle Mason. 

Mrs Mason sat beside Lance and held his hands: “After the festive season, you’re going to turn 32 soon. Our family still hasn‘t got a grandson, I already spoke to Tiffany Abel‘s mother. We plan for your wedding to be in June, are you fine with it?” 

Tiffany Abel, I know this name. She is Lance‘s fiancé, 2 years older than me. She’s marrying Lance once she finishes her PhD studies. What‘s the point in studying PhD when all she’s going to do after she gets married is to stay at home and take care of kids?

I really don‘t understand these upper–class people.

Lance didn’t seem to be in a good mood and he looked annoyed: “Let’s talk about this next time, the project is the most important thing to me, if I haven’t even started it. how can i even marry and have kids? Grandma, don’t chase me on this.” 

Strange enough, Lance glanced at me when he said that. I immediately looked down 

Lance seemed to be triggered and raised his voice: “The work and businesses in company is already giving me a headache! Grandma, can you stop?” 

In my impression, Lance was always respectful towards his grandmother, he never spoke to her like that 

I‘ve never seen Tiffany Abel, but it‘s not because they never came over. Tiffany comes to the mansion a lot, it was me who was always not around.
