Love the Second Time Around Novel

Chapter 108 A Beautiful Couple

The staff told me that Jean had fallen sick and was resting at the hotel.

Considering the fact that her hotel was just nearby, I planned to head over myself. I did not inform Shannon as she was happily engaged in a conversation with others.

Upon arriving at the hotel, I first found out which room Jean was in and then went to her.

Within seconds after ringing the door bell, Jean’s assistant answered the door.

Smiling, I inquired, “Is Ms. Lannon here? I came by to apologize to her.”

“Come on in, Jean’s inside.” Her polite assistant moved aside for me to enter.

I went in with the things I brought and saw Jean lying on the bed.

She did not seem too pleased to see me and I perfectly understood why. After all, she would not have fallen into the lake if it were not for what I did.

Last night, I made an effort to look it up on the Internet and got her something she liked as a gift.

Placing the gift on the table, I said earnestly, “I’m so sorry about yesterday, Ms. Lannon. I didn’t mean it.”

“Forget it. I don’t know if you did it intentionally, but I’m aware that you have the backing of Nicholas, the superstar. Thus, no one dares to do anything to you.”

Completely baffled, I did not know how to respond to her remarks.

Anyhow, I doubted she would want to listen to my explanation. “I’m going to rest for a bit.” Her tone was seemingly impatient to send me off.

Feeling awkward, I smiled. “Oh, okay. Please take care. I’m going to take my leave now.”

As soon as I got out of the hotel, Shannon called and I told her my location.

She came to get me. “Why did you come alone? Did Jean say or do anything to you?” Shannon was concerned.

I could not help but laugh. “I was there to apologize to her. What could she have done to me? It’s okay.”
