Chapter 36
When he was sixteen, Wharton, the leader of the three major business schools in the world, had made an exception to admit him, who was expected to be the heir to the Campbell family with high hopes
If it hadn’t been for the dark hand of fate that led him into a plane crash, he’d already be calling the shots at the Campbell Group.
Facing Jane’s inquisitive gaze, he simply returned her look with a small smile, choosing to remain mute on the matter.
Jane, her lips pursed in a pout, was suddenly struck with a thought. “Did he have a sweetheart when he was sixteen? They say a man never forgets his first love. He seemed quite excited when he started talking about his teenage years, but then he just stopped. Maybe he didn’t want me to know…”
There seemed to be no better explanation than this phantom sweetheart from his past.
A hint of melancholy passed through Jane’s eyes. Since Dan didn’t want to talk about it, she wasn’t going to press
However, it left a little wrinkle in her heart.
Silently, she headed back into the bedroom to change the sheets. Next, she got a blanket and spread it out on the living room couch.
Dan was taken aback for a few seconds before a realization dawned on him. Abruptly, he seized her wrist, “Why… why are you making up the couch again?”
Jane turned to face him, “What’s wrong with that?”
“Everything!” His voice was strained as he tried to maintain calm. “Didn’t you say I could come back. to the bedroom tonight? Weren’t we going to…”

“My brother has just been beaten up, and you’re still in the mood for that?” Jane shot him a hard look.
The earlier mention of his past “sweetheart” had already rattled her, and her temper was quick to flare up.
“Bailey won’t be going home tonight. If I, his sister, won’t take him in, then who will?”
Dan, oblivious to the underlying issues, felt like her change of attitude was… somewhat abrupt.
“He’s staying tonight? And the couch is for him?”
“For me,” Jane answered, stone-faced.
“What did you say?” Dan gaped at her. “You’re not suggesting I…”
“Yes,” her voice was cool and detached. “You and Bailey can bunk together in the bedroom, and I’l take the couch.”
“But there’s only one bed in the room!”
“No problem, it’s big enough for both of you, Jane thrust a pillow into his hands. “You two can have your ‘man-to-man’ chat in there!”
Speechless, Dan took several deep breaths to calm himself.

In the meantime, Jane had already called Balley back from the balcony. After a quick wash-up, she ushered him off to the bedroom to get some rest.
Obedient as always, Bailey complied and made his way to the bedroom.
Dan felt a throbbing pain in his temples, like someone banging on a drum.
Summoning all his courage, he stepped in, positioning himself on the other half of the bed. It was a first for him, hitting the hay in the marital bed since tying the knot. The rub was there was another man beside him!
Dan huffed out a heavy sigh.
His hour-long stint in the bathroom was a waste of time!
Hearing his restless tossing and turning, Bailey, unable to sleep himself, propped himself up on the headboard and struck up a conversation.
