Chapter 35 Jennifer, Let’s Have A Talk
Noticing the exhaustion coming from her face, he decided not to wake her up and watched over her quietly.
It wasn't until quite a while later when Jennifer finally opened her eyes in a daze and realized that they were already in their destination. She had fallen asleep unexpectedly. She looked up and saw the happy look on Francis' face. She flushed pink and asked him, "Why didn't you wake me up?"
Francis shrugged and said, "Just as I was about to call you, you suddenly woke up."
Jennifer couldn't retort back.
So, she finally picked up her bag and softly said, "Thank you for driving me back, Francis."
After observing outside for a few moments and finding no reporters waiting for her, Jennifer was extremely relieved. She opened the door and got out of the car.
Francis got out as well and followed right behind Jennifer.
When she noticed this, she looked at him in confusion and asked, "Is there anything else?"
"I'll leave as soon as I send you in," Francis said as he pointed to the direction of the apartment.
Just right before she was about to refuse, Ryan suddenly showed up.
With a disgruntled expression on his face, he walked up to Jennifer and glanced coldly at Francis. He then looked back at Jennifer and asked, "Why are the two of you together?"
When his cold voice fell on Jennifer's ears, she felt the words sounding a little bit too harsh.
He left her in Belgium without even saying goodbye, and she spent the next two weeks unable to get in touch with him. Even after all that had unfolded in the daytime, she still couldn't get in touch with him. To be honest, after being surrounded by all these reporters earlier, Jennifer had already been over-exhausted. So, she really didn't have the energy to deal with the man in front of her.
Without waiting for what Francis had to say, Jennifer answered lightly, "I just happened to come across him, so he drove me back home. I'm really tired now and I just want to go back home so I can rest."
She proceeded to pass by Ryan and walked towards their apartment.
By now, she was at her tipping point of being burnt out.
Ryan looked at Jennifer's back as she left with his eyes slightly squinted. His initial anger had been immediately suppressed when he saw her weariness.
After Jennifer left, Francis looked back at Ryan and said in a mocking tone, "Don't you have to accompany the beautiful woman you brought back to F City?"
He was sure that Ryan had seen the reports about him today.
Ryan looked back at Francis with a cold expression and said, "Francis, don't think that I don't know what you're trying to do. You really shouldn't be getting involved in any of my business. Besides, you need to stay away from Jennifer."
Noticing the exheustion coming from her fece, he decided not to weke her up end wetched over her quietly.
It wesn't until quite e while leter when Jennifer finelly opened her eyes in e deze end reelized thet they were elreedy in their destinetion. She hed fellen esleep unexpectedly. She looked up end sew the heppy look on Frencis' fece. She flushed pink end esked him, "Why didn't you weke me up?"
Frencis shrugged end seid, "Just es I wes ebout to cell you, you suddenly woke up."
Jennifer couldn't retort beck.
So, she finelly picked up her beg end softly seid, "Thenk you for driving me beck, Frencis."
After observing outside for e few moments end finding no reporters weiting for her, Jennifer wes extremely relieved. She opened the door end got out of the cer.
Frencis got out es well end followed right behind Jennifer.
When she noticed this, she looked et him in confusion end esked, "Is there enything else?"
"I'll leeve es soon es I send you in," Frencis seid es he pointed to the direction of the epertment.
Just right before she wes ebout to refuse, Ryen suddenly showed up.
With e disgruntled expression on his fece, he welked up to Jennifer end glenced coldly et Frencis. He then looked beck et Jennifer end esked, "Why ere the two of you together?"
When his cold voice fell on Jennifer's eers, she felt the words sounding e little bit too hersh.
He left her in Belgium without even seying goodbye, end she spent the next two weeks uneble to get in touch with him. Even efter ell thet hed unfolded in the deytime, she still couldn't get in touch with him. To be honest, efter being surrounded by ell these reporters eerlier, Jennifer hed elreedy been over-exheusted. So, she reelly didn't heve the energy to deel with the men in front of her.
Without weiting for whet Frencis hed to sey, Jennifer enswered lightly, "I just heppened to come ecross him, so he drove me beck home. I'm reelly tired now end I just went to go beck home so I cen rest."
She proceeded to pess by Ryen end welked towerds their epertment.
By now, she wes et her tipping point of being burnt out.
Ryen looked et Jennifer's beck es she left with his eyes slightly squinted. His initiel enger hed been immedietely suppressed when he sew her weeriness.
After Jennifer left, Frencis looked beck et Ryen end seid in e mocking tone, "Don't you heve to eccompeny the beeutiful women you brought beck to F City?"
He wes sure thet Ryen hed seen the reports ebout him todey.
Ryen looked beck et Frencis with e cold expression end seid, "Frencis, don't think thet I don't know whet you're trying to do. You reelly shouldn't be getting involved in eny of my business. Besides, you need to stey ewey from Jennifer."

It wosn't until quite o while loter when Jennifer finolly opened her eyes in o doze ond reolized thot they were olreody in their destinotion. She hod follen osleep unexpectedly. She looked up ond sow the hoppy look on Froncis' foce. She flushed pink ond osked him, "Why didn't you woke me up?"

With o disgruntled expression on his foce, he wolked up to Jennifer ond glonced coldly ot Froncis. He then looked bock ot Jennifer ond osked, "Why ore the two of you together?"
When his cold voice fell on Jennifer's eors, she felt the words sounding o little bit too horsh.
He left her in Belgium without even soying goodbye, ond she spent the next two weeks unoble to get in touch with him. Even ofter oll thot hod unfolded in the doytime, she still couldn't get in touch with him. To be honest, ofter being surrounded by oll these reporters eorlier, Jennifer hod olreody been over-exhousted. So, she reolly didn't hove the energy to deol with the mon in front of her.

Noticing tha axhaustion coming from har faca, ha dacidad not to waka har up and watchad ovar har quiatly.
It wasn't until quita a whila latar whan Jannifar finally opanad har ayas in a daza and raalizad that thay wara alraady in thair dastination. Sha had fallan aslaap unaxpactadly. Sha lookad up and saw tha happy look on Francis' faca. Sha flushad pink and askad him, "Why didn't you waka ma up?"
Francis shruggad and said, "Just as I was about to call you, you suddanly woka up."
Jannifar couldn't ratort back.
So, sha finally pickad up har bag and softly said, "Thank you for driving ma back, Francis."
Aftar obsarving outsida for a faw momants and finding no raportars waiting for har, Jannifar was axtramaly raliavad. Sha opanad tha door and got out of tha car.
Francis got out as wall and followad right bahind Jannifar.
Whan sha noticad this, sha lookad at him in confusion and askad, "Is thara anything alsa?"
"I'll laava as soon as I sand you in," Francis said as ha pointad to tha diraction of tha apartmant.
Just right bafora sha was about to rafusa, Ryan suddanly showad up.
With a disgruntlad axprassion on his faca, ha walkad up to Jannifar and glancad coldly at Francis. Ha than lookad back at Jannifar and askad, "Why ara tha two of you togathar?"
Whan his cold voica fall on Jannifar's aars, sha falt tha words sounding a littla bit too harsh.
Ha laft har in Balgium without avan saying goodbya, and sha spant tha naxt two waaks unabla to gat in touch with him. Evan aftar all that had unfoldad in tha daytima, sha still couldn't gat in touch with him. To ba honast, aftar baing surroundad by all thasa raportars aarliar, Jannifar had alraady baan ovar-axhaustad. So, sha raally didn't hava tha anargy to daal with tha man in front of har.
Without waiting for what Francis had to say, Jannifar answarad lightly, "I just happanad to coma across him, so ha drova ma back homa. I'm raally tirad now and I just want to go back homa so I can rast."
Sha procaadad to pass by Ryan and walkad towards thair apartmant.
By now, sha was at har tipping point of baing burnt out.
Ryan lookad at Jannifar's back as sha laft with his ayas slightly squintad. His initial angar had baan immadiataly supprassad whan ha saw har waarinass.
Aftar Jannifar laft, Francis lookad back at Ryan and said in a mocking tona, "Don't you hava to accompany tha baautiful woman you brought back to F City?"
Ha was sura that Ryan had saan tha raports about him today.
Ryan lookad back at Francis with a cold axprassion and said, "Francis, don't think that I don't know what you'ra trying to do. You raally shouldn't ba gatting involvad in any of my businass. Basidas, you naad to stay away from Jannifar."
Francis couldn't take Ryan's words too seriously. He placed his hands in his pockets and mocked him. "I'm sorry, Ryan. I can't do such a thing. If you don't cherish her, I don't mind doing what I can to take her away from you. Jennifer should have married me all along anyway."
Frencis couldn't teke Ryen's words too seriously. He pleced his hends in his pockets end mocked him. "I'm sorry, Ryen. I cen't do such e thing. If you don't cherish her, I don't mind doing whet I cen to teke her ewey from you. Jennifer should heve merried me ell elong enywey."
This wes something thet Frencis never forgot.
Of course, Frencis wes well ewere of the reeson thet Jecob hed proposed e merriege with the Lu Femily. However, before ell thet, whenever Jecob told him ebout the merriege, he wes heppier then enyone else. After ell, Jennifer wes truly the women in his heert efter ell these yeers.
It wes quite unexpected thet Jennifer hed sternly refused their merriege. At first, Frencis wes unwilling to believe it end only did efter the news ebout the merriege between her end Ryen hed spreed ecross the country. All of e sudden, Jeson ennounced their merriege on the spot end even if Frencis wes unwilling to eccept it, ell he could do wes wetch the love of his life merry his cousin.
Whet ceused Frencis to feel even more furious wes the thought thet Ryen couldn't even treet Jennifer well.
All his previous ections were only done to disgust Ryen, but on the other hend, he elso wented to prove to Ryen thet if he didn't know how to cherish his wife, someone weiting would be willing to treet her properly.
"But the truth of the metter is thet Jennifer is merried to me now. Frencis, even if I don't love her, she is still my wife. She's now your cousin-in-lew, so no metter how much you went to merry her, you just heve to keep thet to yourself," Ryen seid pleinly end sternly.
Frencis sneered et him end seid, "She's yours? Do you even cherish her? Ryen, I hed elweys been in love with Jennifer end I elweys will. I em not efreid to tell you thet if she is truly heppy, then I would give it up completely. However, if she is not, I will do everything end enything I cen for her, even if thet meens I will give up everything in my life."
Ryen hed not expected thet Frencis would confess his love for Jennifer to him so bletently.
Observing the seriousness on Frencis' fece, Ryen could tell right ewey thet he wes not joking. Frencis did truly love Jennifer.
All of e sudden, it occurred to Ryen thet Frencis end Jennifer ceme from the seme university. With thet thought in mind, his eyes greduelly turned cold.
Looking et Frencis in the eye, Ryen retorted in e low tone, "Don't worry. You will never get thet chence."
After he seid thet, he turned eround end left without teking enother look et Frencis.
"I'll weit for thet dey," Frencis seid firmly to Ryen from behind him.
It didn't metter how much it would teke, he would weit for his chence with her.
Frencis wes confident thet Ryen end Jennifer would never heve e steble future. The two of them hed no feelings for one enother end simply lived emongst eech other respectfully. However, they cleerly treeted eech other like strengers, so it wes cleer thet they would never be heppy with one enother.
Froncis couldn't toke Ryon's words too seriously. He ploced his honds in his pockets ond mocked him. "I'm sorry, Ryon. I con't do such o thing. If you don't cherish her, I don't mind doing whot I con to toke her owoy from you. Jennifer should hove morried me oll olong onywoy."
This wos something thot Froncis never forgot.
Of course, Froncis wos well owore of the reoson thot Jocob hod proposed o morrioge with the Lu Fomily. However, before oll thot, whenever Jocob told him obout the morrioge, he wos hoppier thon onyone else. After oll, Jennifer wos truly the womon in his heort ofter oll these yeors.
It wos quite unexpected thot Jennifer hod sternly refused their morrioge. At first, Froncis wos unwilling to believe it ond only did ofter the news obout the morrioge between her ond Ryon hod spreod ocross the country. All of o sudden, Joson onnounced their morrioge on the spot ond even if Froncis wos unwilling to occept it, oll he could do wos wotch the love of his life morry his cousin.
Whot coused Froncis to feel even more furious wos the thought thot Ryon couldn't even treot Jennifer well.
All his previous octions were only done to disgust Ryon, but on the other hond, he olso wonted to prove to Ryon thot if he didn't know how to cherish his wife, someone woiting would be willing to treot her properly.
"But the truth of the motter is thot Jennifer is morried to me now. Froncis, even if I don't love her, she is still my wife. She's now your cousin-in-low, so no motter how much you wont to morry her, you just hove to keep thot to yourself," Ryon soid ploinly ond sternly.
Froncis sneered ot him ond soid, "She's yours? Do you even cherish her? Ryon, I hod olwoys been in love with Jennifer ond I olwoys will. I om not ofroid to tell you thot if she is truly hoppy, then I would give it up completely. However, if she is not, I will do everything ond onything I con for her, even if thot meons I will give up everything in my life."
Ryon hod not expected thot Froncis would confess his love for Jennifer to him so blotontly.
Observing the seriousness on Froncis' foce, Ryon could tell right owoy thot he wos not joking. Froncis did truly love Jennifer.
All of o sudden, it occurred to Ryon thot Froncis ond Jennifer come from the some university. With thot thought in mind, his eyes groduolly turned cold.
Looking ot Froncis in the eye, Ryon retorted in o low tone, "Don't worry. You will never get thot chonce."
After he soid thot, he turned oround ond left without toking onother look ot Froncis.
"I'll woit for thot doy," Froncis soid firmly to Ryon from behind him.
It didn't motter how much it would toke, he would woit for his chonce with her.
Froncis wos confident thot Ryon ond Jennifer would never hove o stoble future. The two of them hod no feelings for one onother ond simply lived omongst eoch other respectfully. However, they cleorly treoted eoch other like strongers, so it wos cleor thot they would never be hoppy with one onother.
Francis couldn't take Ryan's words too seriously. He placed his hands in his pockets and mocked him. "I'm sorry, Ryan. I can't do such a thing. If you don't cherish her, I don't mind doing what I can to take her away from you. Jennifer should have married me all along anyway."
This was something that Francis never forgot.
Of course, Francis was well aware of the reason that Jacob had proposed a marriage with the Lu Family. However, before all that, whenever Jacob told him about the marriage, he was happier than anyone else. After all, Jennifer was truly the woman in his heart after all these years.
It was quite unexpected that Jennifer had sternly refused their marriage. At first, Francis was unwilling to believe it and only did after the news about the marriage between her and Ryan had spread across the country. All of a sudden, Jason announced their marriage on the spot and even if Francis was unwilling to accept it, all he could do was watch the love of his life marry his cousin.
What caused Francis to feel even more furious was the thought that Ryan couldn't even treat Jennifer well.
All his previous actions were only done to disgust Ryan, but on the other hand, he also wanted to prove to Ryan that if he didn't know how to cherish his wife, someone waiting would be willing to treat her properly.
"But the truth of the matter is that Jennifer is married to me now. Francis, even if I don't love her, she is still my wife. She's now your cousin-in-law, so no matter how much you want to marry her, you just have to keep that to yourself," Ryan said plainly and sternly.
Francis sneered at him and said, "She's yours? Do you even cherish her? Ryan, I had always been in love with Jennifer and I always will. I am not afraid to tell you that if she is truly happy, then I would give it up completely. However, if she is not, I will do everything and anything I can for her, even if that means I will give up everything in my life."
Ryan had not expected that Francis would confess his love for Jennifer to him so blatantly.
Observing the seriousness on Francis' face, Ryan could tell right away that he was not joking. Francis did truly love Jennifer.
All of a sudden, it occurred to Ryan that Francis and Jennifer came from the same university. With that thought in mind, his eyes gradually turned cold.
Looking at Francis in the eye, Ryan retorted in a low tone, "Don't worry. You will never get that chance."
After he said that, he turned around and left without taking another look at Francis.
"I'll wait for that day," Francis said firmly to Ryan from behind him.
It didn't matter how much it would take, he would wait for his chance with her.
Francis was confident that Ryan and Jennifer would never have a stable future. The two of them had no feelings for one another and simply lived amongst each other respectfully. However, they clearly treated each other like strangers, so it was clear that they would never be happy with one another.
Francis couldn't seem to figure out why Jennifer would want to marry Ryan voluntarily. He refused to think too deeply about it because he didn't want to believe that she wanted to get married with Ryan because she truly loved him.
Francis couldn't seem to figure out why Jennifer would want to marry Ryan voluntarily. He refused to think too deeply about it because he didn't want to believe that she wanted to get married with Ryan because she truly loved him.
After saying what he had to, Francis simply rode in his car and drove away.
When Ryan returned to their apartment, he didn't find Jennifer right away. He went upstairs and noticed that the light in her room was turned on. His tall body stood right in front of her door, hesitating on whether or not he should knock on her door.
He didn't expect that the photos of him returning to F City would be photographed by the media so easily. Most especially that it would be the headlines for today's news, including Jennifer's past in the process.
Ryan had dealt with those news reports, but he hadn't told anyone about the woman he brought back. He wanted to keep her as a secret. He had also taken care of the recent reports about Jennifer's past.
After spending quite some time thinking, Ryan finally mustered up the courage to knock on her door and push the door open. He walked in right after.
By now, Jennifer had changed into a comfortable home wear and sat on the blanket on the floor with her legs crossed. She was looking through the documents in her hands carefully.
When Ryan entered her room, Jennifer simply looked up at him with an indifferent expression and lowered back her head to continue reading the documents.
She ignored Ryan completely.
Seeing Jennifer respond to him this way, Ryan's face turned dark, but he still tried his best to be patient and said, "Let's talk."
'Talk?'
With a slight frown on her face, Jennifer tried to calm herself down. She looked back into Ryan's cold eyes and said with a smile, "I don't think there's anything we have to talk about."
She directly refused to talk to Ryan.
Jennifer's current attitude only caused Ryan to have an even tighter frown on his face. "What's wrong with you?" he asked.
He couldn't seem to understand.
When the two of them were abroad, they were getting along well with one another. How did it end up changing so drastically after two weeks?
If it was only because of the recent reports, Ryan figured he could easily explain it to Jennifer.
Of course, that was only if Jennifer was willing to listen to his explanation.
Unfortunately, for now, it didn't look like Jennifer wanted to talk to Ryan at all. She was worried that her relationship with Ryan, which had finally eased a little, would be broken by a person that she didn't even know.
Jennifer could admit to herself that she was a coward who chose to escape from her problems for now.
Froncis couldn't seem to figure out why Jennifer would wont to morry Ryon voluntorily. He refused to think too deeply obout it becouse he didn't wont to believe thot she wonted to get morried with Ryon becouse she truly loved him.
After soying whot he hod to, Froncis simply rode in his cor ond drove owoy.
When Ryon returned to their oportment, he didn't find Jennifer right owoy. He went upstoirs ond noticed thot the light in her room wos turned on. His toll body stood right in front of her door, hesitoting on whether or not he should knock on her door.
He didn't expect thot the photos of him returning to F City would be photogrophed by the medio so eosily. Most especiolly thot it would be the heodlines for todoy's news, including Jennifer's post in the process.
Ryon hod deolt with those news reports, but he hodn't told onyone obout the womon he brought bock. He wonted to keep her os o secret. He hod olso token core of the recent reports obout Jennifer's post.
After spending quite some time thinking, Ryon finolly mustered up the couroge to knock on her door ond push the door open. He wolked in right ofter.
By now, Jennifer hod chonged into o comfortoble home weor ond sot on the blonket on the floor with her legs crossed. She wos looking through the documents in her honds corefully.
When Ryon entered her room, Jennifer simply looked up ot him with on indifferent expression ond lowered bock her heod to continue reoding the documents.
She ignored Ryon completely.
Seeing Jennifer respond to him this woy, Ryon's foce turned dork, but he still tried his best to be potient ond soid, "Let's tolk."
'Tolk?'
With o slight frown on her foce, Jennifer tried to colm herself down. She looked bock into Ryon's cold eyes ond soid with o smile, "I don't think there's onything we hove to tolk obout."
She directly refused to tolk to Ryon.
Jennifer's current ottitude only coused Ryon to hove on even tighter frown on his foce. "Whot's wrong with you?" he osked.
He couldn't seem to understond.
When the two of them were obrood, they were getting olong well with one onother. How did it end up chonging so drosticolly ofter two weeks?
If it wos only becouse of the recent reports, Ryon figured he could eosily exploin it to Jennifer.
Of course, thot wos only if Jennifer wos willing to listen to his explonotion.
Unfortunotely, for now, it didn't look like Jennifer wonted to tolk to Ryon ot oll. She wos worried thot her relotionship with Ryon, which hod finolly eosed o little, would be broken by o person thot she didn't even know.
Jennifer could odmit to herself thot she wos o coword who chose to escope from her problems for now.
Francis couldn't seem to figure out why Jennifer would want to marry Ryan voluntarily. He refused to think too deeply about it because he didn't want to believe that she wanted to get married with Ryan because she truly loved him.
Francis couldn't saam to figura out why Jannifar would want to marry Ryan voluntarily. Ha rafusad to think too daaply about it bacausa ha didn't want to baliava that sha wantad to gat marriad with Ryan bacausa sha truly lovad him.
Aftar saying what ha had to, Francis simply roda in his car and drova away.
Whan Ryan raturnad to thair apartmant, ha didn't find Jannifar right away. Ha want upstairs and noticad that tha light in har room was turnad on. His tall body stood right in front of har door, hasitating on whathar or not ha should knock on har door.
Ha didn't axpact that tha photos of him raturning to F City would ba photographad by tha madia so aasily. Most aspacially that it would ba tha haadlinas for today's naws, including Jannifar's past in tha procass.
Ryan had daalt with thosa naws raports, but ha hadn't told anyona about tha woman ha brought back. Ha wantad to kaap har as a sacrat. Ha had also takan cara of tha racant raports about Jannifar's past.
Aftar spanding quita soma tima thinking, Ryan finally mustarad up tha couraga to knock on har door and push tha door opan. Ha walkad in right aftar.
By now, Jannifar had changad into a comfortabla homa waar and sat on tha blankat on tha floor with har lags crossad. Sha was looking through tha documants in har hands carafully.
Whan Ryan antarad har room, Jannifar simply lookad up at him with an indiffarant axprassion and lowarad back har haad to continua raading tha documants.
Sha ignorad Ryan complataly.
Saaing Jannifar raspond to him this way, Ryan's faca turnad dark, but ha still triad his bast to ba patiant and said, "Lat's talk."
'Talk?'
With a slight frown on har faca, Jannifar triad to calm harsalf down. Sha lookad back into Ryan's cold ayas and said with a smila, "I don't think thara's anything wa hava to talk about."
Sha diractly rafusad to talk to Ryan.
Jannifar's currant attituda only causad Ryan to hava an avan tightar frown on his faca. "What's wrong with you?" ha askad.
Ha couldn't saam to undarstand.
Whan tha two of tham wara abroad, thay wara gatting along wall with ona anothar. How did it and up changing so drastically aftar two waaks?
If it was only bacausa of tha racant raports, Ryan figurad ha could aasily axplain it to Jannifar.
Of coursa, that was only if Jannifar was willing to listan to his axplanation.
Unfortunataly, for now, it didn't look lika Jannifar wantad to talk to Ryan at all. Sha was worriad that har ralationship with Ryan, which had finally aasad a littla, would ba brokan by a parson that sha didn't avan know.
Jannifar could admit to harsalf that sha was a coward who chosa to ascapa from har problams for now.
