Way Back Into Love (Essie) novel Chapter 817

On the other side of the huge table, Zac shook his head. "People who don't know will definitely think that Eva has failed in the audition. They will never think that she just hasn't eaten a plate of spaghetti."

Essie patted him on the shoulder and said, "You won't know the world of our foodies."

Zac rubbed her nose dotingly. "You are not on the same level of her."

Essie totally agreed with him.

In the corridor of the second floor, Vinton accompanied Eva into the room. His wife seemed to be in a bad mood. Although he didn't know the reason, he had to comfort her.

Jim and Janice went upstairs from behind.

"It's late. Go to bed early." Jim put his arm around her thin shoulder.

Jim trembled slightly. He neither stopped her nor responded to her. However, in his mind, there was another shadow, the seemingly spicy but sweet heaven pepper.

"Jim?" A sad expression flied into Janice's eyes. She didn't want a react like this, she wanted the passionate response as before.

An apologetic look appeared on Jim's face. She appeared so suddenly that he still needed time to adapt.

He held her face and said, "Don't be naughty. Go to sleep, okay?" His tone was like coaxing a child. He used to coax her like this.

"Jim, I don't want to be alone. Let me be with you tonight, okay?" Tears welled up in Janice's eyes, and her tearful expression was really pitiful.

Jim sighed and walked into his room with her in his arms.

As soon as the door was closed, Janice threw herself into his arms regardless of anything. She would give him time to adapt to her, but first of all, she had to make herself his woman.

"Jim, I've been missing you all these years. We've missed too much. Don't wait any longer. Let's start over and become what we used to be, okay?" She sobbed and grabbed him with her slender fingers. Her movements were skilled and bold, completely different from the previous young girl's shyness.

Jim grabbed her hand and said, "Janice, I'm still confused. Give me some time."

The disappointment in Janice's heart surged like the waves. "Jim, don't you love me anymore?"

"No, it is not like that." Jim sighed, "After all, we have been apart for too long. Both of us need time to adapt to each other."

"I'm sorry." Janice lowered her head, and a drop of tear fell from her eyes. "I'm just afraid of breaking up with you again."

"Don't be silly. I won't let you leave me again." Jim raised his hand and wiped the tears off her face. Then he lowered his head and kissed her gently on the forehead.

Then he picked up the pillow and blanket and went to the sofa. Tonight she slept on the bed while he slept on the sofa.

It was getting late.

Jim didn't fall asleep for a long time. He turned around and saw Janice sleeping soundly. He quietly stood up and walked out of the room.

On the balcony, someone leaned against the railing and looked at the stars, just like him.

A glimmer of light flashed through his eyes. "Heaven pepper, why don't you sleep? Where is Vinton?"

Eva turned around and said, "Of course Vinton is sleeping in his own room." He was asking nonsense.

"What are you doing here alone? Is it because you didn't eat your noodles that you couldn't fall asleep?" Jim teased.

"Well, am I the one who is struggling for a bowl of noodles?" Eva rolled her eyes at him.

"A foodie doesn't struggle for food. Why?" A mocking smile appeared on Jim's face.

Eva wrinkled his nose at him. She had already been used to his mockery. It didn't matter. At most, she would go back to heal herself and detoxify, and soon she would be resurrected.

"Scum Jim, your girlfriend is back. With her by your side every day in the future, shouldn't you celebrate with the entire human race and forgive my debts? Anyway, you don't need me to accompany you."

Before she finished her words, Jim pinched her earlobe hard. "In your dream."

Eva touched her aching earlobe with grievance, "Why do you pull my earlobe?"

"Your earlobes are too small." Jim smiled wickedly.

"It doesn't matter." Eva pouted, "From now on, you can have dinner with Janice."

"She is the main dish and you are the appetizer. Can it be the same?" Jim snorted and thought, 'Stacked the deck? No way!'

"It's not appropriate for me to be your third wheel when you have dinner with her." Eva curled her lips.

Jim looked at her with a strange look. This woman was really a typical idiot. "You have broken the record once, and don't expect a second chance. Remember to present whenever I call. I won't accept any excuses." His expression was quite domineering. She seriously suspected that if she said no, she would definitely be thrown down by him and be paralyzed.

It was the best way for her to leave at this moment.

"I'm going to bed." She turned around and was about to leave when she heard Jim's low voice from behind, "I'm hungry. Eat noodles with me."

Eva suddenly stopped and looked back at him, with a few excited stars in her eyes. "Are you cooking?"
