The Man Who Waited vs. The Man Who Wasted novel Chapter 461

[The things you sent have been received.]

No reply.

Jocelyn put down her phone and went to wash up.

When she came back, Julian's message had arrived.

[I was in the shower. Let me know when you finish eating.]

Jocelyn's finger hovered over the screen.

[I should just pay you since you keep buying these things for me.]

Julian: [No need. Just consider it a gift for the baby from me as their godfather.]

Jocelyn: [But you send them every time. I really feel bad taking advantage of your generosity.]

Julian: [Honestly, I bought them for myself. I wanted to eat Maria's cooking, so I headed over.]

Such a lame excuse...

Jocelyn bit her lip.

[If you won't accept my money, then I don't want them. I don't like taking things from others for free.]

Others...

Julian stared at that word for a long time.

It wasn't until he had finished smoking a cigarette that he finally replied.

[Alright, I'll have Ethan tally up the cost of the past few deliveries tomorrow and let you know.]

She received the message quickly.

[Okay, thank you.]

Ethan walked over, noticing Julian's gloomy expression, and asked with concern.

"Boss, are you in a bad mood again?"

His boss only smoked when he was extremely upset. But he never smoked in front of Jocelyn.

Julian pinched the bridge of his nose.

"Tomorrow, calculate the total cost of the produce sent to Maria's place and give the bill to Jocelyn."

Ethan looked confused.

"Why are we calculating that? Are you charging my goddess now?"

Julian: "Your goddess insists on paying me."

Right after she hit send, Jeremy called.

She was just looking for someone to vent her frustrations on.

"Are you out of your mind? Asking me for money? What am I to you, and what are you to me? Where is your mother? Go ask her!"

Jeremy sounded a bit wronged.

"Why do you always take your issues with Mom out on me? Do you think I can control her? If I could, I'd beg you to come run this family so I could just lay back and relax! It would save her from forcing me to learn how to manage this and that every single day!"

"I'm just not cut out for this!"

"I don't care if you're cut out for it or not!" Jocelyn snapped. "Is the Evans family broke? Why are you crawling to me for cash?"

"Mom has all the money. Where would I get any? She froze all my cards, and I don't even have enough to grab a drink."

"Then stay home! Will it kill you not to drink? You're so young, but instead of doing something productive, all you do is drink and drag race! Let me tell you, Jeremy, don't think you're invincible. Arthur Lowell is a living example of what happens!"

Speed gave a thrill, but it could also cost a life.

Jeremy suddenly chuckled.

"You're scolding me, but why does it actually feel kind of nice to hear?"

Jocelyn: "Because you're a masochist!"
