CHAPTER 148
Chapter 148 Jason’s sense of crisis
Jason leered at Tarik.
Was he stirring things up?
Pretending not to see Jason’s poker face, Tarik stared at Sarah, waiting for her answer.
“Okay.” Sarah said. She didn’t care much about how people addressed her as long as it wasn’t a too intimate one.
The first time she repelled her address was when Robert called her Sa. Perhaps she found it strange as she was used to
his calling her Pumpkin.
Jason narrowed his eyes.
He had never called her this way.
“I just heard from Jason that you’re a divorced couple. Is that true?” Tarik said in a relaxed tone.
“It’s true,” said Sarah lightly.
“Are you single now?”
“Yes.”
“Look at me! I’m so handsome and…” Before Tarik could finish his words, Jason cut in.
He exuded a cold and ruthless air; his voice was as freezing as the icebergs in North Pole. “Tarik!”
“Alright. Let’s have dinner.” Tarik gave out a mysterious smile.
He understood Jason’s intention..
He didn’t want to divorce Sarah. Maybe the competition between them just now had something to do with their
marriage.
He didn’t expect Jason to be so soulful.
He filled a bowl of soup for Sarah and said to Jason, “Why are you so rude? I just want to ask Sarah if she needs at brother. Is it that my words causing you a sense of crisis?”
Jason’s eyes darkened.
Was it because he behaved like an easy–going man so that Tarik kept pushing his luck?
“Do you compete with her to win her heart?” Tarik whispered in his ear, “If you win, she’d come back to you. If you lose, you would have to listen to her?”
Jason glared at Tarik.
There was a hint of warning in his eyes. “If you dare to say one more word, I’ll throw you out.”
“Okay, okay.” Tarik put on a tacit smile, “Sarah, the food is delicious. Help yourself.”
“I know.” Sarah’s tone was bland.
At this moment.
Someone broke in.
He stood at the door and said, “Mr. Thomson, your father is here!”

His words were like a bomb exploding in Tarik’s heart.
He stood up immediately and asked, “Are you sure?”
“He’s on his way!” The man said anxiously.
“Stop him and tell him that I’m training.” A light bulb went on in Tarik’s head. “I’ll meet him in the reception room in
five minutes.”
“Okay…”
Before this man finished his words.
A vigorous and dignified voice sounded, “Can you show me how to train in the dining room?”
A chill ran down Tarik’s spine.
His father was there!
Daring not to behave in a jokey manner, he stood up and said, “Dad.”
The man who came in was Lenny Thomson. He was wearing a military uniform, dripping with righteousness. He was
in his late 40’s, but he looked like he was only more than 30.
“You asked for leave to handle your business, right? It seems that your business is having a meal with others.” He had a reputation for being a strict father. “Go back to training right now. I’ll lock you up if you can’t finish the task!”
“Dad, please listen to me.” Irritating his father was the last thing Tarik would do. “I asked for leave because Jason would come to the shooting hall. He scarcely comes here. I just want to know if his skill has improved in the past two
years.”
At this time Jason stood up and walked over to Lenny.
“Long time no see, Uncle Lenny.” said he politely.
“Alright.” Lenny nodded.
His anger eased a little as he appreciated Jason’s personality,
Knowing that his father wouldn’t punish him, Tarik breathed a sigh of relief, “Dad, I’ll go back after lunch. I promise I
won’t delay to training.”
His father gave him an oppressive look.
But he said nothing.
Tarik knew that his father acquiesced.
“By the way.” Tarik came to Sarah’s side, “In the shooting competition just now, she hit the bull’s eye three hundred -miles away!
She’s really something!”
Tarik beamed.
Lenny followed Tarik’s gaze. When he saw Sarah’s face, he was in a daze for a moment
It was her?

The two didn’t say anything, but they had already expressed what they wanted to say through their eyes.
“Dad, do you want to have her in the army?” Tarik knew his father very well.
Lenny came to Sarah and asked, “What’s your name?”
“Sarah Yeats.”
Lenny nodded. He said, “Are you free now? I’d like to have a word with you.”
“No problem. Please.” Sarah’s voice was polite and indifferent.
Then the two of them left.
Putting his hand on Jason’s shoulder, Tarik asked, “Do you think my father will persuade your ex–wife to come back. to you?”
“Does your father know Sarah?” Jason said.
“How could that be?” Tarik’s eyebrow knotted.
“Didn’t you hear my father ask about Sarah’s name just now?”
“But your father’s eyes… He didn’t seem to be looking at a stranger.” Jason’s intuition told him that things were not so simple. “He looked at Sarah as if she was his old acquaintance.”
“What do you mean?” Tarik was confused by his words.
He didn’t find anything wrong with his father’s reaction when he saw Sarah. His father behaved like he saw a shotting
genius in front of him.
Jason was too suspicious.
He was afraid that Sarah would be taken away.
Jason didn’t say anything more. He decided to ask about it later. This is property © .
Half an hour later, Lenny and Sarah’s conversation ended.
He came back to the dining room.
Tarik looked over his shoulder and asked, “Dad, where is Sarah?”
“Her assistant came to pick her up just now.” Lenny had calined down now; his face was as dour as before. “Go back
to train after lunch. Don’t waste time!”
“I see.” Tarik didn’t dare to retort.
Then Lenny was about to leave.
Jason came over. He looked like a decent gentleman in his suit. Looking at Lenny, he said word by word, “Uncle Lenny, do you know Saralı?”
Lenny was of high status.
If he knew Sarah, it meant that her status was…
The next second Jason discarded the thought. After all, Sarah was only in her 205.
“Not really.” Lenny caldd in a low volite “Sha
haunene that I know her mother. ”

The simple answer dispelled Jason’s suspicion.
He gave a nod.
Then Lenny left the shooting club.
Thinking that Sarah told him to make an excuse, Jason smiled. She was indeed a smart girl. What a great pity that she didn’t join in the army. If he knew her before that guy, everything would be different now.
When he was thinking about this, Sarah had already got in Siven’s car and left.
