Chapter 1138 Does Your Promise Still Count?
Mason already knew Janet wouldn’t stay, but hearing her mouth those three words at that moment felt like a stab in his heart.
Mason closed his eyes and exhaled deeply. “Does your promise to dry my hair every day still count?”
Janet was at a loss for words. She parted her lips and said, “Of course, if I can make it back and you’re willing to forgive me.”
What does she mean by ‘if she can make it back’? Mason gritted his teeth and sneered, “Forget about it. Just do as you please. I’m nobody to you anyway.” Who am I to her? Our relationship started because I was the one who pestered her. If it wasn’t because of that, she probably wouldn’t be interested in me either. With that, Mason closed his eyes weakly.
Janet turned around and stared intently at him. Even though Mason had lost his consciousness, his brows were still knitted. She knew everything he said earlier was out of anger, but no matter what would happen to their relationship in the end, she couldn’t possibly bring him along this time.
“Please forgive me for being selfish.” Janet lowered her head and kissed Mason’s lips gently.
Suddenly, Mason’s phone rang. Janet took a look at it and saw that the caller was Sean. Without hesitation, she hung it up immediately. Then, she stood up, took up the half-filled glass from the table and gulped down the water. After that, she placed the glass gently back onto the table.
…
It was 12 midnight. Lee was already waiting in the airplane at a private airport. Besides Lee, Lara and Desire were tagging along too. Upon seeing Janet’s arrival, the three of them came down to greet her.
Lee felt strange seeing Janet come alone. When Janet walked closer, he asked, “Janet, where’s Mason?”
Janet looked at Lee indifferently and said, “He’s not coming.”
Hearing that, Lara frowned and tutted. “How can he not come? Isn’t he worried about letting you head to Yobril alone?”
Desire thought it was inappropriate too. “Janet, what’s with him? Even if he’s not coming personally, you should have asked for some men from him.”
Meanwhile, Lee furrowed his brows and said nothing as he awaited Janet’s reply.
“I’m the one who stopped him from coming,” Janet blurted coldly. Feeling crappy, she gave off an intimidating aura.
Hearing that, her three companions clammed up at once.
After boarding the plane, the three stayed in the front cabin while Janet rested in the lounge. Lee gave Lara a look and said, “She doesn’t look like she’s in a good mood. Please go and check on her.”
Lara was intimidated by Janet’s vehemence, so she was reluctant to go.
After all, Janet would ignore everyone when she was angry.
Lee couldn’t bear to see her in such a state, so he stood up and walked toward the lounge.
Hearing footsteps approaching her, Janet, who was initially resting, opened her eyes and lifted her head. Her gaze paused at Lee for a few minutes. Then, she pursed her lips and remained silent.
Lee walked gently to her and sat down beside her. “Did you and Mason have a fight?” he asked nonchalantly.
Janet’s voice was a little hoarse. “No.”
“Janet.” Lee pushed his glasses up and said in a serious manner, “You can’t bluff me.” He had known her for so long. Obviously, he knew Janet’s temperament very well.
Janet pursed her lips and sneered after a few seconds, “Yeah, we had a fight. He even said we’re through.”
Lee was shocked and rendered speechless. “It’s impossible for him to say such things.” Everyone could tell that Mason loved Janet, and he wouldn’t say such harsh words even if they had an argument.
Janet looked at the clouds outside the window and croaked, “I’m the one who lied to him. He couldn’t come because I injected him with a strong anesthesia.”
