Chapter 22
Warren’s pov
I pulled my hand out of Jim’s arms. “Meeting friends?”
Why hadn’t I heard that from Chris when I walked in?
“Yeah, it’s a sentry, and I don’t know what relationship my sister has with him. I have seen them hugging and cuddling….”Nôvel(D)rama.Org's content.
Carter’s pov
As soon as I heard that, I knew Jim was talking nonsense. We usually coddle him too much, and I also know he’s jealous of Chris’s good marriage and wants to cause trouble for her. But the boy didn’t act according to the occasion. What if he insults Warren? I quickly and loudly interrupted him, “Jim, what nonsense, those words can not be “messed up”, you must be mistaken.”
The family also hoped to get more benefits from Warren, so they married freshly. Jim was “forceing” Warren to hate Chris with those words?
“Dad, I was not talking nonsense. I saw it with my own eyes. Brother-in-law, how kind you are to my sister. You escorted her back to our family and sent her so many gifts. You even gave her a black and gold card, but she was with others.”
Warren’s pov
“Black and gold card?”
“Yes, my sister bought me all my clothes that cost hundreds of thousands. Thanks to my generous brother-in-law.” Jim turned on me again.
I didn’t give Chris a black gold card at all. Even my own card is under application review. Where did Chris get the card?
If she has a black and gold card in her hand, why was she wearing street clothes before? Why is she still living in such a poor and dilapidated apartment building?
“Jim, shut up and go back to your room.” Tiffy, Chris’s mother, growled.
“Warren, don’t listen to Jim’s babbling. The boy hasn’t got a clue. He must have misunderstood something. I can guarantee you that Chris is definitely not that kind of woman. Don’t take it to heart.” Carter said to me with a placating look.
“I believe Chris. It’s almost twelve. It’s time for Chris to come back for lunch. I’ll call her.” My expression didn’t change, and I stepped aside with the phone.
I didn’t care about the expressions on other people’s faces. I just walked away, not caring about anything. Why had I stayed here without Chris? To listen to her deliberate flattery?
Jim’s pov
As soon as Warren left, my mother taught me a lesson, “Jim, don’t talk nonsense in the future! You’ll get the White family killed.”
I smiled sweetly, “Mom, I know.”
Hum! Chris didn’t deserve a black and gold card. Sooner or later, I am going to replace Chris as Warren’s boyfriend.
Chris’ pov
When I was held in Kenneth’s arms, I couldn’t move and looked distraught. I just wanted to eat quickly and then leave.
Unfortunately, the service here is very slow. Can I go back to lunch?
At that moment, my cell phone rang and I winced when I saw the word Warren on the display.
“Do you want me to answer it for you?” Kenneth glanced at the caller ID, raised his eyebrows and looked at me.
With a bitter look on my face, I said, “Uncle, Warren and I have an agreement for marriage. He didn’t have to accompany me back to my family. Now he’s still at my house, but I left him alone. Can we have lunch together next time? I have to go back now.”
“Honey, it seems Warren is more important in your heart than I am, does not it?” Hearing him call me that made me feel a little tense.
This man’s face looks menacing, like as long as I say yes, someone’s going to skin me in the next second.
“Of course not, I just ….” I did not know how to explain, but I did not know where to start.
“No, just answer the phone. If you do not have lunch with me today, you know the consequences.” Kenneth smiled wickedly.
He really had a thing for me that night, and I picked up the phone with a bitter face.
Warren’s pov
“What’s with you taking so long to answer the phone?” I opened my mouth, only to find myself slipping into a questioning tone.
Then I suddenly realized that in my relationship with her, even if she was now with other men, I had no right to question her. We had made an agreement long ago.
But ever since Jim said she was cuddling with other men, I can not get that phrase out of my head.
Chris’s Pov
“No, nothing. I am with my friends.” I explained guiltily.
The men around me do not seem pleased with the word friend I mouthed, and he bites my earlobe in punishment.
“Hiss…. that hurts.” I was born with a great fear of pain. Kenneth bit down hard, and I couldn’t help but make a sound.
“What’s the matter? Where are you? Is something wrong?” Warren’s concerned voice spoke up on the other end of the phone.
“Mr. Warren, I am fine. I just accidentally touched my hand.” I said quickly.
“It’s good that you are okay, it’s getting late and everyone is waiting for you to go home for lunch.”
I feel very sorry for Warren in my heart. It’s good that he can take his time to walk me back, but I have to stand him up.
I bit my lip, not knowing how to open my mouth. The phone went silent.
When Kenneth saw that I was silent, he was about to take the phone away from me without opening my mouth, so I quickly slapped his hand and quickly made it clear, “Mr. Warren, I am really sorry, but I can not come back for lunch because something happened here.”
Warren’s pov
Hearing her hesitant tone, I thought of Jim’s words earlier and my heart became angry for no reason.
I am escorting her to come home specially, but she ran away. What kind of hell is this?
“Forget it if you don’t come back.” I hung up the phone.
