Chapter 396
“Hi, Mom, Jared picked up the call.
“So, how’s it going with Lizzie?” Luna sounded concerned.
Jared replied coolly, “No progress.”
Luna sounded doubtful. “It’s been days; how could this be?”
Jared frowned, clearly annoyed. “I told you, I don’t like her.”
Luna pressed, “Who do you like then?”
Jared instinctively glanced toward the bathroom. “Definitely not her,” Jared replied. He didn’t feel a thing for Lizzie. Moreover, he knew Lizzie was just a pawn in Harley’s game.
Luna paused for a moment before asking, “So, did you manage to win the heart of the woman you like?”
Jared fell silent. Luna sighed, “If you can’t get her, why not consider Lizzie…”
Jared felt gloomy. “Who says I can’t get her?” he snapped. His gaze locked on the bathroom. ‘Natasha’s bound to be mine, sooner or later,’ Jared thought. He was determined to have all of her; her heart, her body, everything she was.
Luna said, “Alright, if you can win her over by the end of the year and bring her home for Christmas, I promise I’ll never bug you again!”
When Natasha finished washing up and came out, Jared was no longer in the room. She got dressed and went downstairs. Jared was waiting for her in the dining room.
Natasha hesitated for a moment, but walked over to him anyway. “Can you give me the meds for my nervous disorder now?”
she asked.
She had asked him for the meds several times before, and he said he would only give them to her if she came over to his place. Now that she had already stayed overnight, he couldn’t go back on his word.
Jared looked at her intently. “Do you still get it often?”
Natasha replied, “It hardly happens now, but better safe than sorry!”
Jared stared at her for a moment. “I’ll grab it for you after breakfast.”
“Thanks,” Natasha replied and then pulled out a chair and sat down. They sat across from each other, quietly eating their breakfast,
“Does Percy know about us?” After a long silence, Jared suddenly asked.
Natasha froze. She didn’t expect him to bring up Percy out of the blue. Jared’s eyes were intense. “Are you planning to keep this going behind his back?”
