Chapter 57 A jealousy boy
John Walter actually didn't want to make things easy for Philip. He hated the fact that Philip was
carrying Joey on his back like a couple of lovebirds. He wished Philip dropped dead of exhaustion right
now.
Just then, the village head Lewis showed up with a dozen of strong men from the village, including
Marco. All of them were equipped with bows, arrows and knives because four bodyguards were
certainly not enough for a long trip into the mountains where there might be wild animals.
In Lewis’s view, John Walter was more than his boss. He was also his future son-in-law and potential
cash cow. He had to make sure John Walter returned safe and sound.
Hearing John Walter calling her name, Sarah looked up and froze for a second. Then she approached
him and asked indifferently, “Mr. Walter, what’s the matter?”
John Walter frowned because Sarah had never spoken to him in such an indifferent tone. He had made
some noise with Cindy in bed last night. He assumed that Sarah would be furious today. How could she
be so calm and collected now?
John Walter, a playboy who had always taken pride in knowing what girls were thinking, couldn't read
Sarah’s mind at the moment. Had he gone so far that it backfired?
It seemed that too much water definitely would drown the miller.
John Walter drew the conclusion after giving it much thought. He waved his hand to stop his chair-
carrying bodyguards and asked them to put him down. He quickly grabbed Sarah by the waist and
pulled her onto his lap without saying anything.
“What are you doing?”
Sarah was shocked, struggling to stand up.
“Don’t move.”
John Walter held her tight and whispered in her ear, “The mountain road is really bumpy. I certainly
care about your feet even if you don’t. Sit with me.”
He waved at the bodyguards who immediately took the hint and lifted the deck chair.
Sarah was a tall slender girl who weighed about fifty kilograms. The two bodyguards apparently
struggled with the extra weight at first, but as strictly trained professionals, they managed to pull
through.
John Walter’s sudden care was flattering yet heart-breaking. Sarah looked up at his handsome face
with mixed feelings.
Why would he become so affectionate when she had decided not to love him anymore?
What on earth was he thinking?
Why wouldn’t he let her go since he clearly didn't love her? What should she do now?
Sarah lowered her eyes and sat quietly on his lap, painfully lost in deep thought.
Marco walked behind Lewis. From the moment when John Walter had put Sarah onto his lap, Marco
had looked pale with his fists clenched.
He had the urge to snatch her from John Walter’s arms right now, but…he eventually had to refrain
himself, not because he didn’t dare to, but because…Sarah didn’t allow him to do so.
Last night, after mutually satisfying lovemaking, Sarah told him about her relationship with John Walter
and specifically asked him not to tell anyone else about their one-night stand. They would pretend that
it had never happened when they met each other in public from now on.
What she meant was that what they had together was just casual sex and she wanted nothing to do
with him anymore. What had happened in the woods stayed in the woods.
Marco considered himself a man of his words. Sarah was sitting quietly on John Walter’s lap, and all he Exclusive © content by N(ô)ve/l/Drama.Org.
could do was endure and suppress his jealousy. He had made her a promise last night and he would
stick to it no matter what. It was her choice and he had to respect it.
However…he was crying inside because it was so painful…Marco closed his eyes, trying to get her out
of his mind.
Joey didn’t notice Marco. She looked worriedly at Sarah who had fallen under John Walter’s spell
again, and sighed, “Sarah is too naïve and persistent, why couldn’t she see him in his true colors after
what has happened?”
Philip, who was carrying Joey on his back and walking steadily, shook his head and commented, “I
wonder how love is in the world, and I bet it’s devoted and persistent.”
