Even if he’s unwise enough to continue hanging around here, he’ll still ensure that his hopes are utterly crushed this Saturday night, leaving him dejected and heading back to France.
Engrossed in her own frustrations, An Nan didn’t notice the man’s fleeting moment of resignation. She got out of the car with a face full of worry and anxiety in her eyes: "Little White, Jiayou, I seem to have forgotten about Jesse these past couple of days."
Clearly, it was him who said that when someone came to B City, they would be well taken care of. But the reality was she had left him at home for two days and forgotten him completely, not just two days, if you add the day Little White was sick, it made a full three days.
An Nan dared not imagine what might happen afterwards.
She felt that she had been quite a mess lately. Even though her working hours had been reduced, giving her more time for personal matters, the truth was her personal life became chaotic, and this time, she’d left a friend from far away hanging at home for three days and nights without any care.
An Nan felt guilty and couldn’t even imagine how the person at home would curse her silently, likely accusing her of breaking her promise.
In fact, she is indeed someone who keeps her word; no matter how difficult the promise is, she will fulfill it.
But this time, it’s truly an exception.
She wondered if her explanation would be accepted by that person.
Meanwhile, An Nan also silently told herself that even if Jesse pointed at her nose and cursed her later, she must silently endure it.
Seeing her defeat in her eyes, Lin Mubai reached out to pull her into his embrace, his voice filled with helplessness: "Alright, alright, don’t be so downcast. I don’t think Jesse will blame you for this. After all, he has work in B City, so he must be quite busy these days too."
"Is that so?" An Nan’s eyes were instantly filled with hope as she looked at her boyfriend.
Lin Mubai nodded without hesitation: "Yes, absolutely." He’d already silently planned a strategy in his head.
As they just started walking towards the elevator, Lin Mubai suddenly paused: "Nannan, you and Jiayou go up first. I forgot something in the car."
An Nan trusted him without question: "Alright, we’ll go up first then."
After their figures disappeared, he quickly took out his phone, dialed a number, and when the call connected, he swiftly said to the person on the other end: "Jesse, go out immediately. Don’t take the elevator, use the stairs. I’m waiting for you in the garden downstairs. If you don’t come down, no one will ever tell you what you want to know in this lifetime, and don’t expect anything from my wife either. Rest assured, I won’t give you the chance." With that, he quickly hung up. ᴛʜɪs ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀ ɪs ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ʙʏ novel⸺fire.net
He wasn’t worried at all that Jesse wouldn’t come, because he was quite certain that he would. As for how he knew the other was home, the reason was simple: when he drove into the community, he noticed the light on upstairs, so the person was definitely home.
Indeed, just as he predicted, Jesse, despite being quite angry at having his call hung up, swiftly grabbed his coat and left home. The reason was simple; he also wanted to have a good talk with the other, especially about the latter disappearing with someone for the last couple of days.
