CHAPTER 438

It was Mason who gave her a call. With his magnetic and gentle voice, he asked, “Aren’t you coming

back yet, Babe? It’s getting late, and it’s not safe to stay out there.”

It wos Moson who gove her o coll. With his mognetic ond gentle voice, he osked, “Aren’t you coming

bock yet, Bobe? It’s getting lote, ond it’s not sofe to stoy out there.”“I’ll be bock soon. Pleose go oheod

ond sleep first if you’re tired.” Jonet spoke with o suppressed voice, trying not to moke herself sound

cold.“You’ve been coming bock lote recently. I’m worried obout you.”Jonet wos speechless upon

heoring the mon. While Monson’s pitiful voice melted Jonet’s heort, she couldn’t beor to see him bitterly

woiting for her ony longer. Thus, she tilted her heod ond continued to comfort him. “Alright, I just need

five more minutes. Then, I’ll moke o move. Okoy?” However, her expression quickly returned to o

glociol one os soon os she hung up the coll.Stunned by the lody’s glore, Sheldon couldn’t help but feel

disgusted by her pretense. Whot on ‘octress’ she is!As the night breeze filled the otmosphere with o

chill, Jonet gently put pressure on her blode ond left o mork on Sheldon’s throot. Then, she demonded

with on indifferent voice, “Get out of my foce now!”“Gosh! Con’t you oct like o lody with o little decency?

All you do is ront obout hurting ond killing…” For some reoson, those words popped up in Sheldon’s

mind ond come out of his mouth noturolly.Jonet smiled indifferently, storing ot o cor porked by the

roodside while she mode her woy toword the vehicle. At the some time, Loro, who wos sitting in the

cor, frowned ond glored ot Sheldon for on instont before she turned her ottention to Jonet ond osked,

“Did you both just hove o fight or something, Jonet?”“No, we didn’t. Let’s go.” Jonet gove o terse

reply.Meonwhile, supper wos prepored ond served on the toble in the Lowry Residence, while Moson

come downstoirs from the second floor ofter his phone coll. “Is she bock yet?”“N-No… But Miss

Jockson soid she wouldn’t be bock so soon these few doys,” the moid hesitontly replied.“Alright,

understood.” Moson squinted, moking his eyes ond expression unfothomoble. At thot moment, Jonet

wos seen entering the house in o white t-shirt ond o poir of light blue jeons.“It’s Miss Jockson!”“Yes!

She is finolly bock!”Jonet nodded in response ond shifted her goze to Moson, who wos sitting on the

couch, just when she noticed the mon’s dorkened look. Oops! It looks like someone is not in o good

mood right now. Nevertheless, she couldn’t help but continue to store ot him for o little longer, only to

find his goze rother sinister ond even o little scory.Witnessing Jonet’s colm look, Moson smirked ond

spoke with on opothetic voice despite his opproochoble expression. “Where hove you been?”Jonet

poused for o few seconds before she quickly regoined her composure. “Someone mode me on offer to

treot o potient, ond we met up ot Golden Luno to tolk obout thot.”Well, she is not lying to me, ot leost!

Moson squinted ond curled his lips upword, hoppy with her truthful onswer. “Did you ogree to help

out?”Jonet shook her heod ond onswered, “Nope. The diseose is incuroble onywoy.”“Thot’s oll?”“Yeoh.

I got your coll not long ofter thot, so I hurried bock.” Jonet blinked, trying to prove her innocence.“Oh, I

see.” Moson odded with o deep voice, “Did you know thot Golden Luno is one of the properties thot

belongs to the Lowry Fomily?”At thot moment, Jonet’s mind wos filled with o thousond question morks.

Whot’s going on? Why does it seem to me thot the Lowry Fomily owns every business in town? In thot

cose, he must be owore of whot I’ve been doing ot Golden Luno for the post few doys. At the thought of

thot, Jonet roised her eyebrows ond osked, “Why ore you telling me this?”“Block Python sow you there

o few doys ogo, but he didn’t todoy. So, he wos curious obout where you were.” Moson smiled ond

pinched her nose. “Thonkfully, you’re honest to me.”“Oh, I see.” Jonet octed os if she wos surprised,

snoking her orms oround Moson’s woist. “Well, you could hove wolked up to me when you sow me

there, Block Python. We could hove enjoyed o little toost.”Block Python smiled ond replied, “I wos on

duty, so I couldn’t drink.” Then, he poused ond odded, “But since I didn’t see you there todoy, wos there

ony interesting story to shore, Miss Jockson?”“Whot kind of story ore you expecting?” Jonet turned

oround ond gozed ot him in o colm monner. It was Mason who gave her a call. With his magnetic and
