Chapter 126 Is That It?

“We’re not close now, but we could be in the future.” Christopher didn’t take her words to heart and

merely drove.

Jenny said nothing more. She didn’t care about Christopher’s words at all. She didn’t think that they

would ever be that close.

The car soon stopped at the entrance of the restaurant. They went in.

Outside the restaurant, Vincent got off his car. When he saw the two people walking into the restaurant,

he was surprised. Hadn’t Mr. Faust said that he would invite Jenny to dinner? Why was Jenny out here

with another man? After a moment’s hesitation, he decided to call Alec.

In a private booth, Christopher poured a glass of wine for Jenny and smiled at her. “Would you like some

wine?”

She shook her head. “I don’t drink.”

Although Jenny knew she had a good alcohol tolerance, after what happened before, she understood

that it didn’t mean she was invincible. Hence, she still had to be on her guard.

Christopher did not force her to drink and gave her a different glass. She took it and placed it on the

table, not meaning to drink it.

“Jenny, you’re totally thinking of me as the villain.” Christopher didn’t know if he should laugh or cry. Did

he look that creepy?

Jenny merely smiled. “Don’t think too much about it, Mr. Spade. It’s just a habit of mine. I hope you’ll

understand.”

“Of course.” He nodded. What else could he do, anyway?

Jenny hadn’t agreed to eat with him simply to do just that. She asked, “So, what do you want from me?”

He was a little stunned. He smiled. “Can’t we just be friends?”

“Of course, we can.” She nodded, but her gaze grew sharp. “However, I don’t think that you’re someone

who needs more friends.”

“Jenny-”

“If you want to be friends, Mr. Spade, why don’t you be honest? Don’t treat me like a fool,” Jenny cut him

off and looked at him coldly.

Growing up, the pampered Christopher had never been treated like this before. He suddenly felt a little

guilty. After a while, he coughed to disperse the awkward tension and said slowly, “Well, my father wants

me to be in your good books. He has a good impression of you.”

“Is that it?” She raised an eyebrow, a little doubtful.

“That’s it.” Christopher nodded, adding, “Perhaps it’s because you saved his life. He likes you very much

and hopes that I can pursue you. So… Well, you know.”

That was a little unexpected. Jenny always thought that the Spades had something up their sleeve,

which was why her guard was up. But now it seemed that she was simply overthinking things.

Her grandfather’s words before his passing impacted her greatly. She always worried that someone

would be out to get her.

She heaved a deep sigh and smiled. “I see. You should have said this earlier to spare us the

misunderstanding.”

“Not necessarily. I think my father’s hilarious.” If word got out, people would think that Mr. Spade was in a

hurry to get his son married.

Jenny smiled and held up her glass. “I’ll toast you as an apology for being so uptight before.”

She believed Christopher. Her grandfather said the Spades could be trusted, and besides, Christopher

was indeed a decent human being these past few days.

“It’s alright. I understand.” Christopher held up his glass. He was in a good mood. It looked like he had

earned Jenny’s trust.

Oh well. One had to be honest if one were to befriend a smart person.
