Six Brothers Plea for Forgiveness

Chapter 168

Jack glanced at Garrett’s phone. It was indeed a message from Alice.

A wave of irritation washed over him. He checked his own phone; his last conversation with Alice was when he was discharged from the hospital. He sensed her desire for distance.

He’d noticed how much stronger she’d become, so he’d respected her wishes and hadn’t contacted her. It Was the right thing to do, yet. he knew something had changed.

Jack’s brow furrowed in weariness. “What do y

you think?”

“Of course, I’m going. Little Lemon’s my friend. What’s the big deal about dinner?”

Jack tapped the desk. “Pear Garden. Put it on my tab.”

Garrett stretched out the word. “Little Lemon’s treating me to dinner, and you’re paying? Can’t I afford it?”

“Just do it!”

“You’re not coming?”

Jack was a little frustrated.“No. She invited you.”

Garrett stood up, grabbed his coat, and checked his reflection in the mirror. Jack couldn’t take it anymore.“Are you going or not? Stop admiring yourself!” Jack picked up his files but couldn’t focus.

Garrett coughed. “You really aren’t going? We’re all friends. It’s no big deal to have dinno together. Just say you happen to be around!”

“Fine. Your way.”

Jack immediately put down his files, grabbed his coat, and also stood in front of the mirror.

Garrett was pushed aside, rolling his eyes. Seriously, that accident years ago was the driver’s fault, not yours. Just explain it to Little Lemon.”

Garrett had recently heard Jack’s account of the car accident. It had nothing to do with him.

Jack straightened his clothes.“You guys think it doesn’t matter from your perspective. But Alice? She lost her parents!”

Garrett fell silent. That’s true!”

Alice was the biggest victim of that accident!
