Johnny, who was used to being efficient, didn’t have much patience for waiting and called to ask Herb.
“She’s not the person you’re looking for, but is it possible that she is the other daughter of my aunt?”
“So, what you’re saying is that the baby came back to life and then came to you?”
“It’s quite possible.”
Upon hearing these absurd words, Johnny became extremely angry and began to curse loudly while tightly gripping his phone.
“Herb, you only know how to eat, drink, gamble, and visit br othels all day long. If you take over the Carmine pack, it will surely be ruined sooner or later!”
Noticing Johnny’s angry tone, Herb immediately stopped talking, afraid that if he continued, Johnny would be mad at
him.
Herb suppressed his anger and waited for Johnny to finish hist barrage of insults before silently hanging up the phone. Then, Herb turned to look at Taya again with a frown.
His father must still remember what his aunt looked like. Herb
everything would become clear.
When the time came, Herb believed that Johnny, who scolded him for fooling around all day long, would surely kneel before him and say, “I’m sorry, Herb. I was wrong.”
The man who was “fantasized to kneel down” by Herb was extremely irritable. He threw his phone away and turned his sharp gaze toward the driver.
“Have we arrived?”
The driver waiting at the traffic light turned around nervously.
“Sir, we’re almost there. Just around the corner. Please wait a
minute.”
Johnny had wasted such a long time in the Pacific, and he was always holding onto a grudge with nowhere to vent it.
He had planned to go back to the country to settle accounts with Griffon but was informed that Griffon had gone on a honeymoon with his she-wolf.
Johnny couldn’t understand how someone as cold-blooded as Griffon could still manage to get mated.
However, Johnny’s anger dissipated somewhat upon learning that the woman Griffon had mated was an orphan with no significant background.
Johnny thought, “He got mated belore me, bul so what? He slill ended up mating a h ooker. He can’t compare to me at all.”
Johnny sneered and urged the driver to go faster, not wanting to arrive after Heaven and Earth had closed their doors.
He couldn’t find Griffon for the time being, let alone Rosalic, so he had to continue asking Harper.
But little did Johnny know that Harper was receiving Jayden and his colleagues at the nightclub.
“Everyone, please eat, drink, and have fun. If you need anything, just let me know.”
After Harper had several boxes of drinks delivered by the waiter and invited everyone to have fun.
Jayden, who was sitting on the sofa, noticed that she had been busy and hadn’t sat down yet, so he quickly got up and walked toward her.
“Harper, why don’t you sit down and play with us for a while?”
When Harper was about to wave her hand to refuse, a few enthusiastic female doctors immediately approached and pulled her to sit on the sofa.
“Ms. Duke, Dr. Sherwood rarely comes to places like this, but he made an exception for you. You should have fun with him.”
Harper thought that it might be inappropriate for her to
participate in the department’s leam-building activities since she was an outsider.
But she couldn’t refuse them since they were enthusiastic, so she played a few rounds of card games with them.
After a few rounds of games, Harper realized that Jayden truly had not been to entertainment venues much and didn’t even know how to play cards.
She couldn’t help but take a few more glances at Jayden and asked, “Do you not smoke, drink, or like to have fun?”
Jayden, who had gotten good cards but didn’t know how to play them, pursed his lips and smiled. “Yes, I don’t smoke, drink, or fool around.”
He was completely different from Preston and had no bad habits, a very good choice to be a boyfriend.
But it seemed unfair for a good man like him to become Harper’s boyfriend just because he was angry with Preston.
Jayden noticed her staring at him in a daze, and a gentle smile appeared on his face. “What are you thinking about?” he asked.
Harper shook her head and lowered her gaze to the cards in her hands. As she looked down, her hair fell forward over her forehead, obscuring her view.
Just as she was about to reach out and brush it away, a hand reached over and swept the hair that was blocking her vision from her forehead, tucking it behind her ear.
As Jayden traced his fingertips across her cheek and then brushed her hair behind her car, Harper was stunned. She couldn’t quite put her finger on the feeling, but she sensed that things were moving a bit too quickly between them.
But at the blind date banquet yesterday, she did say that she wanted Jayden to be her boyfriend. Now that they were boyfriend and girlfriend, just let it be.
Harper got shy and said to Jayden, “Thank you!”
Jayden smiled and said softly, “I am your boyfriend now. You don’t have to say thank you to me all the time.”
Harper nodded slightly but didn’t dare to look up at Jayden. Her shy demeanor was evident to someone outside the door.
After rejecting Andre, Preston had a few drinks and tried to get himself drunk, thinking that this would help him fight the urge to go to the nightclub.
But he overestimated himself. After he got drunk, his mind was filled with thoughts about Harper, and he couldn’t get her out of his head no matter what.
He missed her so much that he couldn’t control himself. He grabbed a bottle of alcohol and stumbled his way to the nightclub.
He wanted to take the chance of getting drunk to ask Harper why he missed her so much and if she had put a spell on him.
arriving at the nightclub, however, Preston saw Harper and her new boyfriend, sitting together and playing card games. sweetly and happily.
When Harper used to have S** with Preston before, her hair in front would always fall down, and every time Preston would lift his hand to help her tuck it behind her ear.
Now…
Preston leaned weakly against the door, watching Harper chatting and laughing with Jayden.
From now on, Preston wouldn’t be the one who helped her tuck her hair behind her car or lay beneath her.
