Arthur sighed in relief and Nick gave him a questioning look before asking. “Why do you look so anxious?”“No, I was not anxious.” Arthur shook his head vigorously. “I thought she came to insult you. I hope she didn't really insult you.”Arthur already told Nick who Janet and Bryan were to him but not the whole truth. He was also expecting Nick to see Bryan's pictures that were all over the media. However, he didn't see the pictures. Maybe he saw the pictures but wasn't interested in looking closely at them.“No, I didn't even give her any chance. After the last time she insulted me, I kept my guards up when I saw her so she won't repeat that again.”“Ok, that's good. I would have confronted her, had she spoken rudely to you.”“No, she didn't. In fact, the look on her face wasn't a troublesome one. It looked like she came to make peace.”Arthur chuckled. “I don't want to have anything to do with her. It's a good thing you told her off.”Arthur was happy that Janet didn't have the chan
Arthur's face lit up in delight as soon as Jesse said those words to him. Out of excitement, he rose from his seat and ran to Jesse's seat to give her a peck. Unfortunately, he was interrupted by the waiter who appeared before them with their orders in his hands.Arthur was embarrassed and disappointed at the same time. He didn't have the chance to get the kiss he wanted. Why did the waiter have to come at such a time?It was a very wrong timing.Seeing how disappointed Arthur was, Jesse burst out laughing. The waiter, who also noticed what happened, only laughed in his heart. He managed to hold the laughter in and carefully placed the dishes on the table before turning around to leave.Arthur could swear that the young man was going to give the gist to his colleagues and they'd all make a laugh out of it. Well, that doesn't bother him. All he cared about was that Jesse had accepted him back.“Come on, Arthur. Go and sit down, let's have dinner together.”Without another word, Arthur
Janet was driving behind the couple and they were yet to find out. When they got to the place, Arthur asked her to pull over before his villa. Pointing at the house before them, Arthur said to her.“Won't you drive in? That's my house.”Jesse turned to him and shook her head. “No. Not tonight. If you want me to come to your house, then invite me properly.”“But I've already invited you.” Arthur retorted. However, Jesse still stood her ground.“No, Have a good night's rest. Now you can get down from my car.”“Ok, if you insist. I'll surely invite you properly.”Seeing that a strange car had been parked outside the gate for a while, the security guard soon approached them. He had to keep his guard up while striding towards the direction of the car.For all he knows, they could be spies or even kidnappers.Standing a little distant from the car, the man asked with his voice raised. “Who are you people and what are you doing there? You have to leave now or I'll call the police.”When the
Jesse reached out and nudged her sister before uttering defensively. “Stop being so forward. Arthur and I just got back together. There's no way we'll get married immediately.”“Then you have to find a way to get married faster. I want to be an Aunt.”Jesse shot her a dirty look and reached out to slap her hand. “You're insane.”“I know that. However, it isn't a crime for you to get married quickly.”Jesse, who did not want to argue anymore with her sister, decided to leave her alone. She went ahead to her room to freshen up.Meanwhile, Arthur got home in a very elated mood. When he got into the living room, Mrs. Olivia, the cook approached him.“Welcome Sir. Your dinner is ready.”“Thank you.” Arthur replied with a smile and went ahead to sit on the Sofa in the living room.Mrs. Oliver bowed and began to leave but Arthur called her back.“Sir, what can I do for you?”Arthur sighed and put on the television. He was in his best mood and was all smiling.“I'm not hungry right now, maybe
Arthur was speechless. He didn't know how to react to the words that Jesse just spoke. Bryan was now a wanted criminal and belonged to a notorious robbery gang. He was also his step brother.“I watched the news too.” He replied in a low voice and decided to change the topic.“Can we not talk about Bryan. I don't want to be put off by talking about him.”“Oh, ok. I won't bring him up again if you don't want to hear about him.”“Alright.”The couple conversed a lot before finally giving in to sleep.Arthur woke up the next morning in a very cheerful mood. He was so excited and quickly took his phone to send a message to Jesse. The latter called back in return.“Good morning.” Arthur greeted as soon as he picked the call. “I'm guessing you dreamt about me.”“You wish.” Jesse replied. “I only slept peacefully and didn't dream about anyone.”Arthur began to laugh. He had dreamt about Jesse and also believed she dreamt about him as well.“Are you sure?”“Hundred percent sure. I can never dr
After Arthur took the food from her hand, she grinned at him and said in appreciation. “Thank you for collecting the food. I thought you won't take it from me.”With a wide smile, Arthur also appreciated her. “Thank you for the breakfast and your thoughtfulness. I really appreciate it.”With one last smile at her, he turned around and made his way towards a guard who was standing outside.The guard stared back at Arthur in confusion and wondered what the latter was coming to him.“Hi, Sir. I'd like to give you this. I hope you don't mind?”“Ok. What is it?” The man replied with furrowed brows as he stared back at Arthur.Arthur turned around and pointed at Janet who was still standing at a spot, staring back at Arthur. She was wondering what the guy was about to do with the food he gave to her.“Um, Sir. My girlfriend brought me something for breakfast. Unfortunately, she didn't call me before bringing the food as I've had breakfast already. Right now, I'm very full and don't have any
Janet sat in her car for a while and kept glancing at the cafe. There were a lot of customers at the place who were having their breakfast. Stella had started breakfast at the place after the last time Janet gave her some money to upgrade her coffee shop. There were also a few workers working for her. While still in her car, Janet reminisced on the past when her Mom always sang her praises because she was bringing in money.Bryan was still there to give her anything she asked for. Unfortunately, things have changed. Bryan was now a wanted criminal while she was left with nothing except for the car he bought for her. It also looks hard to get another rich guy as a boyfriend. It was the reason she was now running after Arthur.After watching them for a while, Janet opened the door and made her way to the coffee shop. “Hi, Mom.” She greeted her mother who was at the cash register. She was making sure that the money her workers collected tallied with the customers' orders.“Where are yo
Arthur glanced at her one last time before snorting coldly. “You're a loser and will always be one.”Without another word, he left her standing at the place, just like in the morning.Once Arthur was inside Jesse's car, the latter started the car and drove off without saying anything. Arthur was expecting to hear a word from her but she said nothing until they got to the restaurant.As soon as they got to the place, Jesse came down and began to walk away but Arthur quickly ran to catch her.“Come on Jess, I don't understand your silence. What seems to be the problem?”Arthur was confused and kept wondering about the sudden change in her mood.“Why are you suddenly acting this way? Did I do something to offend you?”Arthur was clueless and kept wondering what must have gone wrong.“Nothing.” Jesse replied with a voice that lacked emotions.Arthur shook his head several times. “There's something wrong. Talk to me please.”Without another word, Jesse turned around and began to walk in th
