Chapter 43 Deliberately avoiding him
Chapter 43 Deliberately avoiding him
Although Joel was usually careless, he had a very soft heart and was especially afraid of girls who
cried. As long as they cried, he could do nothing.
At this moment Jane was weeping so sadly that Joel did not know how to comfort her. He awkwardly
handed her a handkerchief and said, "Please do not cry. If you feel you have been wronged, tell me. I
will stand up for you. Do not cry."
Jane shook her head, not wanting to say anything more. She reached for the tissue and wiped
carelessly. She did not have time to think about whether the makeup on her face was ruined or not.
Coincidentally, her phone rang. She took it out and found that it was a text message from Jeffery.
"Have you eaten yet?" He asked her.
"Look, my brother still cares about you. Sarah and he were in the past. Now that my brother has you,
it's impossible for them to be together."
When Joel said this, he did not think in the least of his credibility. He just wanted Jane to stop crying.
As for Jeffery and Sarah, he actually could not tell.
Jane, however, didn't have any reaction at all. Tears rolled down from her cheeks.
Joel had a headache. To make her laugh, he even grimaced and told her all the funny things he had
heard in his life. Jane finally stopped crying, but her light makeup made her face look like a small tabby
cat.
"You really like my brother so much."
Joel stared into her eyes, in which there were some indescribable emotions.
He thought Jane liked Jeffery too much, but she knew of Sarah's existence. So she felt upset, and was
even a little grieved at this girl who was a backup.
Jane wiped her tears, took out the makeup removing water and a wet towel from her bag, and wipe her
crying makeup. Then she cleaned her face, calmed herself down and replied to Joel: "No, it's just that
some people go too far and think they are too much."
She was talking about Susie and Larry. But the reason why she felt wronged was exactly as Joel had
said.
Jane stood up, swept the hem of her dress, and said to Joel. "Thank you, Little Mr. Jones. I took a
leave to see my room in the afternoon. I have to go now."
"I'll go with you."
Joel jumped down from the roadside. He had been squatting next to Jane, but they jumped together.
Suddenly, his legs were so weak that he almost knelt in front of Jane.
Jane broke into laughter with a snigger.
Joel was a little embarrassed, but when he saw her laughed, he scratched the back of his head
awkwardly and explained: "Anyway, I am free in the afternoon, so I can drive you there."
Jane looked down at her watch. It was the peak of the afternoon, so the subway must be packed. So
Jane didn't refuse Joel, but took his car to see the house he had enquired in the morning.
Joel brought Jane to several houses in a row, but none of them satisfied Jane. It was not until very late
had Joel said that he would take Jane home.
Jane's facial expression stiffened.
She remembered that she was still living with Jeffery. She wanted to refuse, but she could not
persuade Joel not to let her off the car. In the end, she told him about her the address.
The car stopped outside Jeffery's house. Jane got off the car, turned around and asked. "We're at the
door of my home. Aren't you going in?"
"Forget it. I do not want to look at my brother's ice-cold face. You had better go in alone. I'll help you
with the house. Goodbye." Joel waved his hand, turned and left.
Jane calmed down, took a few deep breaths, and opened the door. As soon as she entered the house,
she was suddenly held by someone. She felt dizzy and finally fell into a warm embrace.
Jeffery looked down at Jane and seemed a little annoyed. He held her tightly in his arms and squeezed
Jane's body tighter. "What are you doing with Joel? Why have not you answered the phone or my
message?"
Jane just remembered that she had received the text message from Jeffery at noon. However, she did
not seem to have received the phone call. With difficulty, she pulled out her cell phone, only to find that
her phone had been turned off. She shook it in front of Jeffery. "There's no power. It's not like I didn't
call you back."
"Then why are you with Joel?"
He spoke slowly, but his eyes were filled with anger.
He didn't get in touch with Jane in the afternoon, and Joel didn't come to work. He thought that his
younger brother was just not into working, but when he saw Joel bring Jane back, he knew that they
had been together for the afternoon.
Jane was held too tightly, and she subconsciously wanted to push him away.
However, Jeffery did not allow her to do so. He wrapped his arms tightly around her waist.
She struggled twice and failed to break free. She did not know if it was because the movement had
rubbed against his body. But she could clearly feel some changes in Jeffery's body because of her
struggle just now.
She froze. Her face blushed immediately and her whole body tensed up. "I went to inspect the houses
with Joel, who happened to be free this afternoon."
"Joel, how intimate." Jeffery was a little annoyed. She was only willing to change her calling of him after
several times he asked for it. Now, she had only spent an afternoon with Joel, and they had become
was so intimate.
"I..." Jane wanted to explain. Before she could speak, his warm lips had landed on hers and swallowed
all the rest of her words.
Jane wanted to struggle. After all, now that Sarah was back, she did not know what kind of relationship
they had, nor did she know what kind of development would they have in the future. Jane did not want
herself to invest too much, in case she would not be able to extricate herself in the end.
She made up her mind and closed her eyes, biting him.
"Hmm!" Jeffery felt painful and let out a muffled groan. He let go of Jane and his lips bled from Jane's
bite. Jane took the opportunity to escape from his arms. Although he was a little reluctant, it was better
to have a short pain than a long one.
"I'll move out when I find the house. I'd better sleep in the guest room these days."
After saying that, Jane fled upstairs, packed her things and went into the guest room. She faced the
door and took a deep breath.
Jeffery had not moved since just now. He had been listening to the movements of Jane upstairs until
she closed the door. Then he stepped upstairs. Looking at the half empty wardrobe in the master
bedroom, he felt as if there was something empty in his heart.
"Dong dong dong." Jeffery gently knocked on the door of Jane's room and said in a hoarse voice. "Let's
talk." Property belongs to Nôvel(D)r/ama.Org.
JJane was just calmed down, and she became nervous again. She did not dare to talk to Jeffery, as
fear of hearing such a statement that was just a substitute for a show.
Therefore, Jane didn't say anything and pretended that she had already fallen asleep. Jeffery stood
outside the door for a while and then turned around to leave.
In the past few days, Jane had been avoiding Jeffery and sneaked away early in the morning. When
they met at the company, she tried to lower her head as much as possible. Even when she was
reporting business, she would wait until there were somebody in the office room, in case of staying
alone with Jeffery.
