Chapter 186

Alice, meeting his intense gaze, felt her breath catch. Her eyelashes fluttered.“[Just…just friends.]” Wasn’t that what he’d said? They were just friends. He only saw her as a sister, Jack licked his teeth, standing.“[Let’s go.]”

He walked ahead, his face impassive. Alice followed, keeping a distance. Garrett and John Wilson trailed behind; John Wilson was anxious to speak but was restrained by Garrett. Garrett whispered, “[Ancestor, stop it!]” This kid was like a hyperactive dog. Don’t make things

worse.

John Wilson was intensely curious.“[They’re really not together?]” Months had passed, and his brother hadn’t won her over yet? Terrible!

“[Forget it. They’re impossible.]”

“[Why?]”

“[Because Alice is…]”

Garrett stopped. John Wilson looked sincere.“[Brother, my lips are sealed. I won’t say anything.]” Garrett looked at John Wilson, holding his face.“[Where did you get that confidence?]” This kid had the loosest lips. He’d almost let something slip.

John Wilson was curious. Did Alice have a hidden identity? Or was her background too ordinary?

They walked out. Alice checked her phone; Chloe was asking where she was. She looked back.“[I’ll go back to school. My friend’s waiting.]”

John Wilson freed himself from Garrett.“[L…Little Lemon, I’m in Cloud City. Free for dinner this weekend?]”

was “that” person.

She looked back; Jack was there. She lowered her gaze, saying nothing, and ran.

Jack watched her go, his tongue pressing against his cheek, his expression deep. She was avoiding him?

John Wilson rushed over, gossipy.“[Brother, you haven’t won her over yet? You’re terrible!]” Jack glanced at him.“[Why did she want to play games with you?]”

“[Because I’m good! I’ll

I’ll support her at school; no one will disrespect her!]”

“[She doesn’t need you.]”

Jack walked away. John Wilson was confused; Garrett slapped him.“[Can’t you be sensible? Why did invite Alice to play games?]”

“[You’re a hindrance!]” Jack looked upset.

Garrett felt anxious about their relationship. He hoped they’d be together but feared Alice discovering the truth.
