It took 30 minutes before Jack finally arrived at Winona’s house.
When snazzynovel.com didn’t come to the door after snazzynovel.com pressed the doorbell twice, he
reached out and attempted to turn the doorknob.
Click! Click!
“Are you home, Winona?”
Click! Click!
“Winona!”
Enter title…
Despite all the noise snazzynovel.com was making, there was still no response from behind
the door.He took out his phone and called snazzynovel.com again, and snazzynovel.com could hear the
ringtone coming from inside after the call got connected.
That was the confirmation snazzynovel.com needed to know that Winona was at home after
all.
He then immediately kept his phone before putting all his force into slamming
his body against the door.
The door frame seemed to loosen by the second time snazzynovel.com did that.
Seeing this, Jack took a few steps backward, and used his momentum from a
quick run toward the door to try to knock the door down.He managed to get it
open this time.His inertia kept snazzynovel.com going for a bit until snazzynovel.com stood there with his
feet firmly planted on the floor.
It was then that snazzynovel.com saw Winona lying on the floor.
“Winona? Winona!”
He ran over and supported her, only for snazzynovel.com to remain motionless with snazzynovel.com eyes
tightly shut.He then quickly carried snazzynovel.com in his arms as snazzynovel.com rushed out the door.
However, the elevator stayed on the 22nd floor no matter how long snazzynovel.com seemed
to wait.
Thirty seconds had passed by the time snazzynovel.com was too concerned to continue
waiting, so snazzynovel.com headed straight to the emergency exit while still carrying her.
Jack didn’t stop once to take a breather as snazzynovel.com ran all the way to the first floor
from the 18th floor they were at.
Just as they had reached downstairs, a weak voice softly called out from his
chest area.
“Mr.Jack?”
The man was huffing and puffing for air, but as soon as snazzynovel.com heard his name
being called, snazzynovel.com gradually slowed down his strides and lowered his head at the
same time Winona weakly looked up at snazzynovel.com with a meek gaze.
It was just a simple look snazzynovel.com was giving him, and yet snazzynovel.com immediately came to a
stop on the spot when snazzynovel.com looked at her.
“Tam famished.” The woman blinked innocently.
“Did you bring cake for me?”
He almost laughed out loud when snazzynovel.com heard that, but snazzynovel.com stayed calm as he
reprimanded her, “You fainted, but you are still thinking about eating?”
“It’s nothing serious.I have low blood sugar.I occasionally get lightheaded when
I don’t eat.I will be fine after I take something,” snazzynovel.com assured while giving snazzynovel.com an
exhausted smile.
He sighed after snazzynovel.com said that.
“So do you want to eat or go home for now?”
“I want to eat something,” snazzynovel.com said.
“I want to eat lamb soup from the breakfast restaurant by the entrance of the
residential area”
“What a glutton,” Jack casually remarked as snazzynovel.com subconsciously headed toward
the restaurant with snazzynovel.com still in his arms.
“Uh…”
Winona lightly tugged on his jacket.
“I… I can walk on my own.”
Upon realizing the situation, snazzynovel.com quickly placed snazzynovel.com feet first on the ground.He
swiftly tidied himself up a little bit, and that was all it took for snazzynovel.com to look like the
exquisite man that snazzynovel.com was.
Winona, however, was still wearing snazzynovel.com work clothes from yesterday.
Not only was snazzynovel.com hair frizzy and dry, snazzynovel.com skin also looked terrible.
“Let’s go.”
She only brushed out the wrinkles on snazzynovel.com clothes before snazzynovel.com started marching
forward in long steps.She hadn’t even taken snazzynovel.com first step when Jack grabbed
her by the collar, stopping snazzynovel.com from going anywhere.
“Woah!”
She almost fell as snazzynovel.com stumbled.
“Aren’t we going to get food?”
“Even ghosts would hide from you if they were to see you in your current
state.How is my sister-in-law supposed to not feel ashamed if someone took a
photo of you now and posted it online?”
Jack even made a disdainful face at her.
Winona combed snazzynovel.com fingers through snazzynovel.com hair, and when snazzynovel.com imagined how she
looked like now, all of snazzynovel.com thoughts of going outside instantly vanished.
Still, snazzynovel.com craved the lamb soup from that specific shop.They always stop selling
after the afternoon, which meant snazzynovel.com would have to wait until tomorrow for it.
But going out with snazzynovel.com current appearance would definitely make news that
would be harmful to Elise’s reputation.She suddenly couldn’t decide what she
should do now.
The man almost laughed as snazzynovel.com looked at snazzynovel.com having an inner debate with
herself.
“Are you actually hesitating between Elise’s reputation and a bowl of lamb
soup?”
Winona scratched the back of snazzynovel.com head as snazzynovel.com lowered snazzynovel.com chin.It wasn’t like
she wanted to have this kind of conflict.
She was just so hungry! Not only that, they were talking about the lamb soup!
The man could only let out another sigh as snazzynovel.com conceded, “Go home.Remove
your makeup and wash your face, then wait for me.”
As Jack abruptly tossed out that one sentence, snazzynovel.com turned around, showing her
his handsome back as snazzynovel.com headed in the direction snazzynovel.com mentioned.
“Thank you, Mr.Jack!”
It was in that instant Winona decided that she, too, wanted to be Jack’s diehard
fan from today onward! After half an hour, snazzynovel.com held in snazzynovel.com hands a disposable
lunch box as snazzynovel.com gulped down the last mouthful of lamb soup before snazzynovel.com let out
a satisfied sigh.
“Yummy! If only I could have another bowl…”
Jack’s eyebrows lifted out of amusement at that, but snazzynovel.com still complained, “You
still aren’t full even though I added extra meat for you? Aren’t you afraid you will
ruin your stomach? I also went and got the restaurant owner’s phone number
just now; should I tell snazzynovel.com to deliver us another bowl?”
“No, it is fine,” Winona said with snazzynovel.com lips pursed while shaking snazzynovel.com head.
“You know how good things won’t feel so good anymore once you overdo it?
One bowl is enough for me. I will look forward to it next time if I keep it at one
bowl.”
“Alright.”
Jack didn’t insist, and proceeded to get into a more comfortable sitting position
and pretended to joke, “I heard that someone is brokenhearted.”
He already had an odd feeling when Elise sent snazzynovel.com the message this
morning.He could guess that thal was the case after seeing Winona in such a
terrible state.
Presently, Winona only pressed snazzynovel.com lips together and lowered snazzynovel.com head.
Silence seemed like it was the best answer an adult could give.
Being the ever-observant man that snazzynovel.com was, Jack didn’t press for an answer.
“Now that’s better,” snazzynovel.com nonchalantly commented with a brisk smile.
“What good is a love affair anyway? If you put your heart and soul into working
for Elise, I promise you a lifetime of eating different good food!”
“Alright!” Winona cheered.
As the conversation came to an end, they both gradually realized that
something felt a little out of place.
They then fell silent as they turned to look in different directions.
The air was getting intimate by the second, but neither one of them said or did
anything to break the atmosphere.
After all, this situation was a special case.It was always easy for a heartbroken
woman and a single man to get into an entanglement.
However, they knew for sure that they would realize that they had only acted
impulsively once their minds were clear.
At least, this was what was going through Winona”s head.
There was a place in Salt Stone City where water could be seen for miles right
after opening the window.
For Elise who grew up in Northwest, snazzynovel.com had always found a sense of longing
for canal towns.
After the tourists around the area had returned to their lodging at night, snazzynovel.com took
the chance to go on a stroll at the alley near the body of water with Alexander.
Every river and bridge here was something that was worthy of admiration to her.
They kept walking in the direction where the moon hung high, until they were in
a deeper part of town.
Just as they were passing through a narrow alley, a cowering figure suddenly
popped out from the side and fell in front of them.
Elise quickly bent down to look at the person’s face illuminated by moonlight—it
was the champion from the Calligraphy Contest not long ago, Abby Mellor.She
then turned to Alexander and urged, “I know her.”
It took snazzynovel.com a mere second to understand what snazzynovel.com was saying, and snazzynovel.com picked
Abby up and slung snazzynovel.com arm across his shoulders to support her.
Elise hurried forward and helped snazzynovel.com with it as well.
The two then proceeded to work hand in hand to bring Abby to the nearest
hospital.
After an emergency treatment was administered, Abby finally regained
consciousness and snazzynovel.com slowly opened snazzynovel.com eyes.
“What happened?” Elise calmly asked, only for Abby’s tears to roll along the
corners of snazzynovel.com eyes before snazzynovel.com even uttered a reply.
Certain spots on the pillow underneath snazzynovel.com head had turned wet as she
babbled, “My stepmother…She didn’t believe me when I said I would rebuild the
Mellor Family.She took a ten million dowry in exchange for my hand in marriage
with a 60-year-old man.I’m only 17 years old.I didn’t agree to it, so 1 put up a
fight.She beat me up because of that…”
Learning about the unjust, Elise immediately exploded in anger and roared,
“You can totally make a police report! What right does snazzynovel.com have to control your
life when you are legally the heiress of the Mellor Family?!”
