The Apple of My Eye novel Chapter 1390

"You're bleeding, Cassie. I'll carry you!" Jordan squatted down suddenly and asked Cassie to hop on his back.

"No, no. You're embarrassing me. I can walk by myself..." Cassie refused him at once, without a conscious thought.

However, Jordan didn't have the patience to deal with her stubborn attitude. He sprang up spryly and picked her up in his arms before she could even finish her words.

"Jordan! What are you doing? Let me down! Let me down!" Cassie's sweaty face flushed red with embarrassment. 'How can he do this to me?'

Jordan, however, ignored her protests and began to walk towards his car nonchalantly.

He opened the door of the car with one hand and slowly sat her in the front seat.

As he bent over and leaned closer, Cassie's heart skipped a beat. She was afraid that he would do something to her.

Before long, Cassie was relieved to find that Jordan was just fastening the seat belt for her and making sure that it had latched on properly.

When Jordan turned the ignition key and revved the engine, Cassie turned to him and said, "Thank you very much."

"Any friend of Cora's is a friend of mine. And I... I see you as my own sister. It's normal that I treat you well." Jordan had other words on the tip of his tongue, but he changed them in the end.

Cassie felt embarrassed and decided to change the topic. She asked, "Can I use your phone to call Cora? My phone battery died earlier."

Jordan took out his mobile phone and passed it to Cassie.

The moment she swiped and unlocked the phone, her jaw dropped to the floor.

Never in her entire life did she expect that his screen saver would be... a picture of her!

'Oh my God, this is so embarrassing!' Cassie was so nervous that her palms were clammy and sweaty, but she could neither say nor ask anything. She couldn't bring herself to face him. She didn't want to bring it up because she was afraid that he would say something she wouldn't be able to handle.

Pretending as if she hadn't seen her picture in his phone, she casually dialed Cora's number.

After a few dial tones, Cora answered.

"Hello! Jordan, have you found Cassie?"

"Cora, it's me." Cassie explained everything to Cora and asked her not to worry.

While she spoke to Cora on the phone, Jordan slowly turned his head and stole a glance at Cassie's face.

Jordan knew that she would see the photo on his phone screen when he gave her the phone. He did it on purpose because he wanted to know how she would react. What disappointed him was the fact that Cassie made no reaction.

Fortunately, Jordan wasn't desperate as a part of him refused to believe that Cassie had no feelings for him at all. After tonight, he thought that he was likely to win her heart.

For now, he was happy to just look at her face. 'Good God! What a beautiful face! Sooner or later, I will be her boyfriend, ' Jordan thought confidently.
