"But I'm remarried now," Joanne said.
Jack pondered for a moment and looked reluctant. "It's not like you cared about that marriage contract, and isn't it only valid for three months? In that case, I'll wait for three months, and then I'll give Tail and you a warm home."
"I appreciate your kindness, but I can't marry you."
Things would not work out, and she would rather break his illusion sooner than later.
Jack had no lack of women and even less of beautiful women.
His family would never accept a woman like her who had a child and was divorced.
It was better not to start than to make everyone awkward later.
Jack felt frustrated.
"Am I that unpopular? I don't think I'm inferior to Edwin."
"No, you're a playboy, but not a total jerk," Joanne said seriously. "You can't compare yourself to a man like him."
Jack was surprised by her compliment and laughed. Only there was a hint of dismay in his laughter.
In the past, he wooed women by just giving them gifts.
They were superficial.
This time was different. Joanne was his sister's bestie, and he was quite serious. Unexpectedly...
He was rejected.
And it really embarrassed him.
Noticing the frustration of her brother, Ada patted Joanne on the shoulder and joked, "Jo, you're right. You can't marry him out of gratitude. He's too fickle and not good enough for you. Besides, you still have me, and same-sex marriage is legal in some countries."
Her words sent a shiver down Jack's spine.
