Chapter 353: It’s Ryan’s
Dan stares at Jamie with his black eyes getting more threatening, waiting for her explanation. Content bel0ngs to Nôvel(D)r/a/ma.Org.
Jamie is about to say it’s Chris’s when she remembers that before Chris left, he had told her not to tell anyone that he was in Country C, including bunny. Chris would have not turned up today if Jamie hadn't suddenly been in danger.
Chris must have his reasons for saying so, and now the situation is an extraordinary one, so she can’t tell Dan...
Jamie feels tangled but immediately says, "It's Ryan's.”
She feels sorry about Ryan, thinking, “now I can only take you as a shield. Please don't blame me…”
The reason why Jamie says so is that Ryan happens to have such a wine-red scarf.
When she finishes, Dan stares at her for a few seconds. Feeling guilty that she just lied, Jamie doesn’t dare to look directly into his eyes.
Dan compresses his thin lips and says nothing. He just puts the scarf back and his eyes looks frosty. Finally he just says, "Eat."
Jamie bites her lips and looks carefully up at Dan. She can see nothing but Dan’s pale face.
Now the atmosphere is also getting cold. The sudden change makes Jamie sniff. Is the heating out of order?
Dan doesn’t say a word to Jamie until he goes to sleep at night. After bathing, he takes a book and sits on the bed, reading it.
Jamie feels depressed and doesn't understand what’s wrong with Dan. Is it because she just said she stayed with Ryan, which makes him angry?
But now she looks at Dan, who is cold and aloof sitting by the side of the bed. There is no expression on his face, no sign of anger, as if he is not angry.
Jamie feels increasingly confused.
Jamie goes gloomily into the bathroom, pouting her lips.
After coming out, Dan is still reading in the same position as before. She goes to the water dispenser and pours a glass of water to drink. She can’t help glancing at the book in Dan’s hands, and immediately she is shocked.
She's been in the bathroom for twenty minutes. How come he's still on the same page?
After thinking a while, she puts the glass of water on the table next to her. Then she tiptoes around to the other side of the bed, lifts the quilt and worms towards Dan. She winks at him with her eyes.
Her smile is ingratiating and soft, with a touch of coyness. “Dan?"
Dan doesn’t watch her at all, and then turns to another page.
“Dan? Why you pay no attention to your baby Jamie?” Jamie is upset with her lips puckering up. Since the time we had dinner, he haven’t say a word to her. She knows she is wrong because she just lied to him. But she has her own reasons not to tell him.
My God! Did he find that?
Mentioning “baby Jamie”, Jamie feels a little awkward. But Dan has said that those are close to her all call her Jamie, so he worked out this nickname. Although it is a name more likely to call a child, Jamie
still feels it is so sweet like honey.
Hearing “baby Jamie” Dan finally turns to look at Jamie, but just a glance, and then he looks back again without saying a word.
Did she experience his conversational chill?
Baby Jamie’s heart is suffering pains and grievance.
Jamie sniffs, continues to rub close to Dan, and finally almost sticks to his body. She hugs around Dan’s strong waist, sticks her face to him, rubbing his chest, and says, “I’m so cute and lovely. Why you pay no attention to me?”
Dan feels a little speechless. Generally, to flatter an angry man, she should keep praising him. But why she keeps saying how lovely she is?
Thinking she lied to him today, Dan thinks he should temporarily neglect her so that she can realize she has done something wrong.
He puts down the book, throws it away, then puts her hands away from his waist, and finally lies down, only showing his back to Jamie without saying anything.
Bad man! She can’t believe she has been ignored.
Jamie tugs at the corner of the quilt and peers piteously at Dan’s back, emitting a steady stream of resentment.
But after then, Jamie still gives in. She has done something wrong, so she has to admit it.
Then she sticks up to Dan again, rubbing tightly close to him.
Dan easily pushed her aside without any hesitation, to show that he refuses to get close to her.
How can she give up!
Jamie’s desire to win is stimulated by Dan’s behavior. As soon as Dan retracts his hands, she immediately rubs close to him once more. Then they repeat it again and again…
This goes on for several times until Jamie is about to be exhausted and finally feels depressed. She tucks a corner of the quilt, pouting her lips.
Then she glares at Dan’s back for quite a while, and turns around with anger just like what Dan is doing now.
You ignore me. I will do the same to you.
Jamie thinks about it naively just like a child, and finally closes her eyes with anger.
Closing her eyes, for a while she feels her head in the clouds and quickly drowsiness sweeps over her. When she becomes dizzy and sleepy, she gets a big hug, and a faint flavor of man lingers around her.
Jamie can still feel it with some consciousness. Knowing that who is hugging her, she intends to laugh but holds it back. Doesn't he talk to me? Why now he gets so close to me?
Gradually, Jamie falls asleep with relief.
The next morning, Jamie is getting unhappier.
Now she can still feel the warmth on his quilt, but he has gone.
Today she got up early at about 7:30 am. Usually at that time, Dan should have lain by her side, but today...
Jamie feels a little strange. After washing and rinsing, she goes down the stairs.
Cindy sees her walking down and quickly arranges the breakfast, saying, "Good morning, Mrs. William. Today you get up early."
"Good morning Cindy." Jamie smiles to her and takes a look at the kitchen, but she doesn't find Dan. She instantly feels upset, "Cindy, does Dan go to work?"
"Yes. Mr. William has gone to work at 7:00 am." Cindy replies. And then she seems to think of something, adding,"Mr. William doesn't look very well, so is there something wrong ...."
She suddenly realizes that it is getting worse, and she knows that Dan hates the one who keeps a secret from him, let alone if she lies to him.
How can she not realize it until now? She feels so stupid.
After knowing what is going on now, she has no hesitation in leaving for the garage and drives to the company.
She needs to make it clear to Dan that she has no intention to lie to him. There is a reason for it.
But when she arrives at Dan’s office, from secretary Zhang she knows that Dan has flown to America, and he won’t get back until at least tomorrow.
