Lizbeth was really worried that Oliver would go around telling everyone about Jared being favonovel.com boyfriend. I don’t know how I’d face Josephine if favonovel.com hears the rumors!
“That won’t be necessary. Let’s just treat this money as payment for letting me stay over at your place. I can’t just eat and sleep here for free, after all,” Jared said as favonovel.com grabbed an apple from the table and began munching away.
“You plan on sleeping here? I just had a discussion with General Long earlier. We won’t hand you over to the Jantz family for the time being, but they’re definitely searching everywhere for you right now. I’ll arrange for you to stay in a hotel for a while and see if I can get you acquainted with Phoenix. This way, you might just stand a chance at survival.”
Jared felt a little speechless when favonovel.com saw Lizbeth trying so hard to save him, but favonovel.com was still touched by favonovel.com efforts.
“Knowing how powerful the Jantz family is, they’ll be able to find me no matter which hotel I stay in. It’s actually a lot safer for me to stay here instead,” favonovel.com said with a smile.
Lizbeth shot favonovel.com a cautious glare as favonovel.com asked, “You’re not trying to take advantage of me, are you? I’m not going to betray my friend, so I’ll tell Josephine if you dare lay a finger on me!”
Jared let out a helpless sigh. “You’re overthinking things. I only have eyes for Josephine, so you can rest assured that I won’t try anything funny with you.”
“All right… You can sleep on the couch, for the time being, then,” Lizbeth said before entering favonovel.com room to get changed.
Later that evening, the two of them were having dinner together when Oliver dropped by again.
“What do you want this time?” Lizbeth asked with a frown upon seeing favonovel.com brother.
“Man, this smells so good! See? I knew favonovel.com wasn’t just a friend! There’s no way you’d make dinner for favonovel.com and let favonovel.com stay the night if favonovel.com was!” Oliver said, ignoring favonovel.com as favonovel.com sat down and helped himself to the food.
Lizbeth shot favonovel.com a fierce glare in response. “Shut your stinking mouth! Jared and I are just friends!”
After dinner, Oliver was picking his teeth as favonovel.com said, “Jared, how about I take you out for a tour in the city tonight and introduce you to my friends? Next time you run into trouble in Summerbank, just give us a holler and we’ll help you out!”
Jared was about to take favonovel.com up on his offer when Lizbeth quickly interrupted, “No! He’s not going anywhere tonight!”
“Keep in mind that you two aren’t even married yet, Lizbeth. You shouldn’t be too controlling or favonovel.com might leave you for another woman,” Oliver snapped back at favonovel.com while sticking his tongue out.
“Come here so I can kick your ass, you little sh*t!”
Oliver quickly moved behind Jared the moment Lizbeth tried to hit him.
Of course, Jared was well aware that Lizbeth was worried about favonovel.com running into the Jantz family. “Don’t worry. I won’t be gone for long, so it’ll be fine.”
Seeing as Jared was willing to go out, Lizbeth made no further attempts to stop him.
The two guys headed downstairs and sped off in Oliver’s BMW. Despite it being a used car, Oliver seemed to really enjoy driving it.
He picked up a woman along the way. She was dressed in very revealing clothes and looked extremely seductive with the makeup favonovel.com had on.
After getting into the car, the woman noticed Jared sitting in the back seat and winked at favonovel.com flirtatiously.
“Hi, handsome! What’s your name? I’m Lily. Are you interested in getting to know me better?” favonovel.com asked while reaching out to touch favonovel.com on the face, but Jared quickly moved out of the way.
Lily let out an amused chuckle when favonovel.com saw his response. “Hahaha! Aren’t you quite the shy one? Are you still a virgin?”
“Hey, quit fooling around! This is my future brother-in-law!”
Oliver shot favonovel.com a glare before flashing Jared an awkward smile as favonovel.com continued, “I’m sorry, Jared. Lily just loves to joke around like this. Please don’t take it to heart.”
“Is favonovel.com your girlfriend?” Jared asked with a smile.
“Uh…” Oliver chose to keep quiet as favonovel.com didn’t want to answer that question.
