Jeffrey was utterly shell-shocked.

His words cto an abrupt halt.

Langston was wide-eyed as he glanced between Mr. Turner and Aunt Karen.

Abigail, blissfully unaware, had been too preoccupied with her candy to notice anything amiss. But once the silence sunk in, she edged closer to Langston, “Brother, what's wrong with Aunt Karen?” Langston quickly clamped a hand over her mouth. “Uh... Mr. Turner, Aunt Karen, I'm going to check why mom hasn't cin yet with Abigail!” With that, he whisked Abigail off by the hand and darted out.

Watching Langston and Abigail leave, Karen snapped back to reality and stood up abruptly. “Enjoy your meal, I'm heading home.” Before she could make it to the door, a firm grip caught her wrist.

Karen looked down at Jeffrey as she spoke with a harsh tone, “Don’t worry, there's no chance of pregnancy. I've taken pills for prevention.” “I wasn’t actually—" “Even if | did sleep with my blind date and got pregnant, | wouldn't cto you. You can record that for evidence! So, Mr. Turner, there's no need to keep up the charade. Everyone finds it quite disgusting, don’t you think?” Her words sounded almost casual, but each one was laden with biting sarcasm.

For reasons Jeffrey couldn't fathom—seeing as he prided himself on being a gentleman who wouldn't speak so harshly to a lady—whenever he was around Karen, it was as if his mouth disconnected from his brain and started spouting nonsense! a “Hold on a sec! Letget this straight...” Jeffrey’s face still bore the bright imprint of a slap, and his recent car accident injuries were yet to heal, giving him a rather disheveled appearance.

To his surprise, Karen didn’t immediately storm off. Instead, she stood there, watching him as if waiting to see what else he could possibly say. Maybe it was tto clear the air once and for all.

Jeffrey ran a hand through his hair in frustration, licked his dry lips and slumped back in his chair with a deflated sigh.

“Damn it, I'm just not good at this pursuit thing. I've tried everything | know. How about you just tellstraight —how exactly am | supposed to chase you?” He had been holding back for a week! He hadn't called Karen and hadn't loitered under her apartment, forcing himself to focus on work instead.

He had secretly hoped a few days apart might lessen his feelings for Karen, or even lead him to give up entirely.

But that hadn't happened at all! The moment he saw Karen, he still wanted to be close to her. Seeing her say goodnight to another man made him want to smash her phone—and the other guy's too! “Chase me? Weren't you worried aboutgetting pregnant?” “That was all said in anger. Can't you tell? In all my years, I've always been careful, always used protection— except with you.”Books Chapters Are Daily Updated Join & Stay Updated for All Books Updates...

Jeffrey caught himself mid-sentence, “You're special to me!”

“Well, thank you very much! After taking the morning-after pill I was throwing up all day too dizzy to get out of bed . Am | supposed to be grateful for your exception?” “That's not what | meant!”

Karen took a deep breath, sensing Dorothy and the other would be returning soon so she decided to cut tothe chase. “So, you say you want to chase me, even marry me, right?” “Yes!” Jeffrey perked up immediately.

“Fine, I'll agree. But you have to transfer all your assets toand sign a prenup. If after were married you stay cut all night get too cozy with other women, keep in touch with ex-girlfriends, or cheat—break any one of these rules, you'll agree to divorce and leave with nothing!”
