Chapter 380 For Fanny, He Wouldn’t Mind
When Jane hung up on Christopher for the third time impatiently, her friend beside her leaned in.
Her friend, Harley Swift, handed a glass of wine to her and casually inquired, “Who keeps calling you?” Frowning, Jane took the glass of wine from her friend and replied, “It’s someone from a blind date. Harley suddenly became intrigued, sitting up a bit straighter. “Blind date? The one who dared to hit you?”
It was hard for her not to focus on Jane’s face as she asked this. Despite the dim lighting of the bar, she could still see the imprint of a slap on Jane’s face.
Noticing Harley’s gaze, Jane frowned and said. “I hit him back much harder.”
Even though she had returned the slap several times over, the thought of the slap mark left by Christopher, which had not yet faded, made her realize that he had not held back at all.
Feeling infuriated, she downed another glass of wine.
She had seen Christopher‘ text invitation before, but she had chosen not to respond. Unsure of his intentions in contacting her now, she preferred to ignore him.
Her father had mentioned that the Sanders Family was seeking a favor from them, so she could act entirely as she pleased.
Despite her father’s words, she hadn’t explicitly expressed her dislike for Christopher. She knew that even without him, her father would arrange another blind date for her.
However, not everyone would be as manageable as Christopher.
Just as Harley was about to say something. Jane’s phone lit up again. Harley decisively offered, “Jane, if you don’t want to answer, let me do it. I’ll give him a piece of my mind!”
Jane, having had a few too many drinks, didn’t catch what was said, especially with the sudden increase in the bar’s music volume.
“What did you say?” She asked.
Harley had already picked up her phone, pointing at it and saying, “Jane, I’ll scold him for you!”
With that, Harley answered the call..
By the time Jane realized what was happening and tried to snatch the phone back, it was too late to stop
her.
Christopher, who had finally gotten through to Jane’s phone, was pondering how to start the conversation when he was greeted with a barrage of insults.
He was stunned, confused, and puzzled.
After a moment, he realized that the person on the other end of the line was not Jane.

“Jane, why did you hang up?l wasn’t done scolding him! You can’t let a man who hits women off the hook!”
Harley said regretfully, her heart aching and her indignation growing as she saw the not–yet–faded red mark on Jane’s face.
“Why bother with him?” Jane understood Harley’s temperament and handed her a glass of wine. “Just drink.”
Reluctantly, Harley took a sip before inquiring, Jane, what’s wrong?”
Jane pondered for a moment before recounting the earlier events. She had just stood Christopher up didn’t want to see him now.
However, Harley had a different perspective.
and
“Jane, if he’s calling you long after the agreed time, it’s not just you who stood him up; he didn’t show up either!”
Harley never hesitated to assume the worst of men when it came to defending her friends.
Her offhand accusation turned out to be spot–on.
“That must be it; a man as impatient as him would have called you immediately after being stood up!”
Seeing Jane mostly convinced, Harley felt that such a man needed to be taught a lesson, egging her on: Jane, if he calls again, just play along and you’ll know.”
Jane took a deep breath and answered the call.
“Why did you stand me up?” Jane questioned as soon as the call connected.
His answer confirmed he had indeed missed the appointment..
Harley, listening in, couldn’t help but interject, “He really did stand you up! What a jerk, standing someone up and then keeping in touch?”
Hearing the voice of the person who had just insulted him, Christopher realized he had been tricked, but he didn’t mind; his aim was to apologize to Jane.
Harley chimed in, “If you have the guts, come and apologize in person!”
He could tell from the noise on Jane’s end that she was probably in a bar or a similar place. In such a place where he might not even be able to see people’s faces clearly, he could just apologize and leave. He couldn’t care about a little dignity for the sake of Fanny.
After hanging up the phone, Harley said, “Just watch me later, Jane. I’ll make sure he’s embarrassed!”
