“Who do you mean?” Donald feigned ignorance.
Jennifer huffed, “Who else? That friend of yours, Raphael! I've known you for a long time, but I've hardly seen you with any friends.”
Undeniably, that was true.
Donald's circle of acquaintances was different, and he did not dare bring Jennifer to meet his friends apart from Wyvern King and the others.
“Are you sure? I have quite a lot of friends.”
Donald eyed her puzzledly.
Every problem she encountered throughout the years was resolved with me asking for others' help. Logically speaking, it should've left her the impression that I've got many friends.
Rolling her eyes at the man, Jennifer scoffed, “Can all those people be considered your friends? They act beyond deferential every time they see you. It'd be more apt to say that they're your subordinates.”
Donald burst into laughter.
“Why are you laughing? Am I not right?” Jennifer said.
Never had Donald expected Jennifer to be so perceptive.
He had never felt that way in the past, but after she pointed it out, he suddenly felt that she was indeed right.
“All right, then. Even if those people in the past don't count, the person I mentioned earlier is truly my friend.”
“So? You don't even bother to bring your friend home to meet me. You don't care about me at all,” Jennifer said woefully.
Donald merely smiled awkwardly, not quite sure how to respond to that.
Uh... I can't possibly say that I actually went to help Sophus to deal with Earl, can I?
At that precise moment, his phone rang.
Just when he was about to grab it, Jennifer, who was crouching behind him, leaped up like a rabbit.
“I'll answer the call for you, Darling!”
Jennifer cast a look at the caller ID after picking up the phone. Immediately, she froze for a moment.
Donald's heart clenched.
Don't tell me it's a call from that kid, Sophus? If it's him, the lie I told just now would come to light!
