Serve No One This Life

Chapter 369 No Bail

After a one–sided scuffle, Jane snorted disdainfully and gave Christopher a contemptuous glance. “Tsk. I didn’t expect you to have such endurance.”

Christopher’s face bore the marks of Jane’s slaps and scratches, and his suit also showed signs of her aggression. Despite being able to endure, he didn’t retaliate after the initial impulse to slap her.

What frustrated Jane was the soreness in her arms from the altercation.

“Ms. Coolidge, have you released all your anger?” Christopher inquired with a lowered voice.

Jane retorted, “What if I haven’t? Will you return tomorrow for another round of hits?”

She intended her words as a taunt, but Christopher didn’t respond. Instead, he raised his hand and swung it fiercely.

His sudden movement startled Jane, causing her to step back.

But instead of landing on Jane, Christopher’s slap struck his face. “Consider this my apology to you, Ms Coolidge. I hope you can overlook my earlier impulsiveness.”

Jane observed Christopher’s instantly swollen face with a hint of amusement.

It is interesting.

Before she could tease him further, Christopher turned and departed.

“Hey, Wait.” It wasn’t until he had taken a few steps away that Jane reacted.

Upon reaching the restaurant hall’s front desk, Christopher had already left the premises. She moved to catch up, but a waiter intercepted her.

“Miss, your private room’s bill hasn’t been settled yet.”

The waiter appeared slightly embarrassed but unable to stop Christopher, who had left earlier. He could only detain Jane.

Jane frowned, retrieved a card from her bag, and handed it over.

She had anticipated Christopher leaving after paying the bill. Those slaps earlier had let him off too easily.

After paying the bill, she discovered that Christopher was nowhere in sight. She cursed him under her breath when her phone suddenly rang.

It was her father inquiring about her interactions with Christopher.

She understood her father’s temperament well. She knew that claiming she did not get along with Christopher would prompt him to arrange a meeting with someone else immediately.

She had no intention of dating at the moment. Although she felt nothing for Christopher, she casually remarked, “Our interaction was fine, but we still need more time to see if we’re compatible.
