Chapter 23 Jennifer Cried

 

From behind, he looked desolate under the afterglow of the setting sun. He was feeling rather downhearted because Yasmin and Jessica had suspected him.

 

Right then, his phone rang. It was a call from Jennifer.

Jonathan picked up the call and quickly composed himself. Chuckling, he said, “Jen, what’s up?”

“Can I treat you to a meal?” Jennifer spoke on the other line.

 

Startled, Jonathan said, “You mean tonight?”

 

Jennifer replied, “Yes!”

Jonathan was not in the mood to see anyone. He said, “I can’t make it tonight. I have something else to do.”

 

“What are you doing tonight?” Jennifer pressed on.

Unable to come up with an excuse, Jonathan blurted, “I’m on my period. Happy?”

“Even if you’re having a period, it won’t stop you from enjoying a meal, right?” Jennifer retorted sharply.

 

Words failed Jonathan as he did not expect Jennifer’s snappy response.

In the end, he gave in and accepted the invitation.

Later, Jennifer picked up Jonathan in her car.

Once he got in the car, Jennifer asked him, “Where would you like to go?”

Jonathan gave a perfunctory reply. “I don’t want to go anywhere. I only want to eat the food you make.”

Jennifer hesitated for a moment. “Really?”

“Of course!” Jonathan responded right away.
