Chapter 66

Chapter 66

Alice was carried away from the broken glass. She was placed on the sofa. Jack looked down at her.“Next time, don’t move when I tell you not to! Use your brain!”

Alice blushed; she’d been scolded.“I didn’t expect to knock over the vase!” It was dark, but she was still embarrassed.

Jack made a call, his voice cold.“Find out why the power is out.”

Alice looked around, focusing on Jack, the only source of light. “Where’s Garrett? Didn’t he come back with you?”

“He went to a bar. He won’t be back tonight.”

“Why didn’t you go?” Alice knew adults, especially rich kids, went to bars to relax. The Windham brothers often went for business reasons.

Jack’s tone was calm.“Too noisy.”

Alice wasn’t surprised. Jack liked quiet. She was curious. How did you become friends with Garrett? He’s so outgoing, and you’re so quiet!”

Jack pondered.“My grandmother said I’m too quiet, so I should find a talkative friend to avoid becoming a mute.”

Alice found that amusing. “Were you childhood friends?”

Jack hesitated.“Why?”

“I envy your close friendship.” Her voice held a hint of sadness.

It was dark; Jack couldn’t see her expression.“Did you have no friends as a child?”

*I did, but after my parents died in that accident, I was sick for a while and forgot everything. My emotions were unstable, so my friends drifted away. Then Chloe came to live with us. You know what happened after that. Because of Chloe, I was isolated at school and never had any friends.”

Hearing about the accident, Jack’s lips tightened. He swallowed hard. “You haven’t remembered anything about the accident?”

“No, I don’t want to remember it. It’s too painful.”
