Chapter 2287
Just as I was about to let out a sigh of relief, Jordan suddenly stood up and left the private room without saying a word. His speed was so fast that Naomi did not even have time to react. It took her a long time to get up and chase after him.
With this, I felt uneasy again. As for Jordan, I was really not sure if I could persuade him with those words. If this guy went back to think and knew that I was setting him up, he would really go to the extremes, and I would be doomed.
But if Jordan accepted the challenge, then we would not be far from victory.
Once he loved someone, he would have a weakness. With a weakness, he would no longer be an indestructible being.
As the sound of Naomi's high heels gradually faded away, my heartbeat became more stable. My tense nerves relaxed, and I put my hands on the table to support my exhausted body.
"Always so reckless."
Hearing Hendrix's voice made me remember that he was still here. I looked up slowly and said in a provoking manner, "I've always been this reckless.
It's not the first time you've known me."
Hendrix's dark eyes were shining under the light. For some reason, I felt like they were glowing for me. However, he ignored my words and left right away.
My eyes followed him until his tall figure disappeared by the door. Then, I was completely relaxed and fell back into the chair.
My temples were sore. I sighed and raised my hand to rub them in order to feel better.
"You are so eloquent. I didn't know you had such an ability before." Freya was shocked by the scene she had just witnessed.
"It's all forced out by Jordan." I waved my hand and said weakly, "It's still uncertain whether it will work. We can't feel victorious too early. Jordan has never played by rules."
"I think you've been quite out of line lately. The two of you, are two of a kind..." Freya joked.
"Bah!" I was so shocked that I
immediately sobered up. I was in a
hurry to clarify that I had nothing do with that guy! "What do you mean it is just a temporary solution for survival. Don't curse me with such a comment."
"What's wrong with that? If Jordan really takes you as an experimental subject, won't you take this opportunity to take revenge?"
I shook my head like a rattle and
refused, "Goodness, Freya, don't you
el
think this is messy enough? To me, being with Jordan is like accompanying a tiger! Jordan is even searier than a tiger. If I'm entangled with him, I'll be frightened to death in less than three days! Besides, are there no women left in this world? Jordan is not stupid. Why must he be with a divorced woman like me, who has a child, to torment himself?"
"Well, that seems to make sense." Freya raised his eyebrows and did not continue to ask. She lowered her head and began to eat.
I looked at her and thought of Zachary. I asked, "What's the relationship between you and Oliver's father...?"
"What's up with the two of us?" Freya did not even bat an eyelid as she focused all her attention on eating.
In keeping with her character, she proved that they had no relationship by being so upfront. If there was really something fishy between them, she would be bashful like Cyril.Content bel0ngs to Nôvel(D)r/a/ma.Org.
Knowing what was going on, I did not probe further and explained casually, "Oh, nothing. I just ran into him today."
"Oh." Freya seemed to not take it seriously at all. She picked up a piece of seafood and put it into my bowl. "We just got a new chef. He is really good at making seafood. Eat it while it's fresh!"
