Chapter 222
Philip, in a white suit, entered with his hands in his pocket. He sat down next to Jack on the sofa.
When Philip arrived, Sean had already told him about the matter.
“Have you really thought it through? Are you planning to tell Naomi everything?”
Jack furrowed his brows. His hands clutched the wine glass tightly.
“The choice is hers.”
“Oh.”
Philip mused. He adjusted his golden-rimmed glasses. His lenses reflected and sparkled under the
light.
“It looks like she hasn’t decided yet, and you… Am I going to receive a wedding invitation
soon?”
“What wedding invitation?”
“Are you still pretending? You dare say that your feelings toward Naomi haven’t changed?”
“Boss!”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtA voice interrupted Jack’s sentence. Then, Daniel strode in.
“You’re still injured! How could you drink?!”
Seeing the glass of wine in Jack’s hand, Daniel immediately rushed over worriedly. He reached out,
about to take the glass away.
Jack swerved and avoided it cleverly.
“I’m fine. I can drink.”
Daniel came to his senses and slapped his head. He smiled and said, “Oh, I’ve forgotten about it!
You’re a Super Saiyen! You can recover quickly from any injuries.” Jack’s expression darkened when
he heard what Daniel said. Non-human, Super Saiyen… Those were words that he hated the most!
In his dreams at night, he could always recall what happened ten years ago in that endless darkness
that turned him into a monster! Jack’s dark eyes flashed an eerie shade of red. The next second, he
downed the wine in his glass!
“Hey! Boss! Why are you drinking this?!” Suddenly, Daniel picked up the bottle on the table and yelled
out frantically.
“What is it?” Philip asked curiously.
Daniel said awkwardly, “This is the wine to cure my insomnia! I added some substance to it!
Usually, all I need is two sips to fall asleep. You’ve already drunk an entire bottle!” “Shut up!” Jack
leaned back on the sofa dizzily. ‘F*ck! He’s going to fall asleep! I wanted to have some fun at the club!’
“I have something going on too. Why don’t I send my little sister-in-law a message?” Philip adjusted his
golden-rimmed glasses, looking wise. Then, he picked up Jack’s phone and sent a message to Naomi.
(Hey, I’m Jack’s friend. He’s drunk Please come and take him home. The address is…) At the exact
moment, on the outskirts of Gin City, Susan rested in her dressing room. Naomi hugged a pillow, lying
on the table listlessly. Feeling lost, she came to look for her best friend for ideas
Once she was at the film set, she told Susan everything that happened between her and Jack that
aftemoon.
“Susan, I can’t think right now. What should I do?” “Have you thought about how to answer his
question?”
Facing Susan’s serious expressions, Naomi shook her head.
“Naomi, this is no joke. The Houghs are at the top of the social pyramid. Jack has thousands of
enemies! Once you choose to understand him, you two are no longer in just a contractual relationship.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“From then on, you and he are tied to the same boat. You must face the same number of times he
faces danger and death!”
“I understand…”
Naomi lowered her head. She thought about how she was backed up to the wall by him that afternoon
and what he said to her.
“My world is constantly filled with blood! Do you want to know my secret? Do you truly want to know
me? Are you ready?”
At that moment, her phone on the table lit up. Philip’s message popped up on her screen. Naomi saw
the message.
She subconsciously picked her phone up, about to reply. She was about to type when Susan stopped
her.
“Naomi, only the closest people would risk their lives together. Your contract with him is soon over. You
can live a normal and peaceful life by not knowing his secret. I’m guessing that Jack isn’t telling you
because he wants to protect you.”
When Naomi heard what Susan said, she lowered her gaze. Her fingers slowly let go of her phone too.
Perhaps, Susan was right. That was what Jack intended. She was not his other half. They were
doomed to be apart. “Okay. Then, I won’t go and pick him up.”
