Chapter 172
I jumped as I turned around to meet a pair of sparkling amber eyes, unconsciously patting my chest. " Jack, you scared me!"
"Sorry." He chuckled softly, his lips curling. "I didn't mean to eavesdrop on your conversation. I just happened to pass by."
I smiled indifferently. "Are you here for business or with friends?"
"Friends."
Jack's voice was warm, but when he looked at Jane, there was a hint of helplessness in his eyes. I naturally knew who his "friends" were.
Jane also saw through it in a glance. "You guys talk. I'm going to dance."
As soon as she entered the bar, she took off her coat, revealing a black silk strap dress that exposed her beautiful collarbones. Stepping onto the dance floor, she immediately drew many gazes. Her dancing was captivating.
I watched Jack sit down before asking, "Is your injury okay? You probably shouldn't drink."
"The injury's nothing serious, just looks scary." He shook his head casually, his eyes lightly amused. "I haven't been drinking, just keeping Tom company to drown his sorrows."
Glancing at the lively dancing Jane, I sighed helplessly. "Looks like they're heading towards the same outcome."
Just as we were chatting, there suddenly came a cry from the direction of the dance floor. Someone started a fight!
Jack and I looked over together, both taken aback. The one throwing punches wasn't anyone else, but Tom. He was a bit drunk, pinning a man down and landing punches on him, pointing at Jane. "Why did you touch her? Who the hell gave you permission to touch her?"
"Tom, are you crazy!" Jane was furious, pulling him up. "What's your problem? We were just dancing! Can't we just dace?"
Tom was dumbfounded by the accusation, his voice resounding. "No!"NôvelDrama.Org exclusive content.
"Well." Jane sneered. "Do I need your permission for whom I dance with?"
With that, she turned away and walked towards us.
Tom hurried over in a few big steps, grabbing her fair arm unreasonably. "Why can't I say anything? We slept in the same bed a few days ago, doing the most intimate things, and now I don't even have a say?" "Don't worry." Jane dismissed him scornfully. "Soon, I'll be sleeping with other men and doing everything we did together!"
I knew her too well. Although she projected an image of toughness, she hadn't been with anyone before Tom. Right now, she was just talking tough.
But Tom didn't understand. A tall man, in the midst of a crowd, suddenly turned red-eyed and burst into tears as he hugged Jane. "I won't allow it! Jane, you can only sleep with me, please..."
Sperly.
"What about you?" Jane stared at him om, can you marry a wife while keeping yourself pure for
me?"
"I can! I definitely can, I won't touch her!" Tom raised three fingers to the sky and swore. "If I touch her, may lightning strike me dead when I step out
ne door."
"If that girl marries you, she's in for a rough time." Frustrated, Jane pushed him away, seeing big teardrops on his face, involuntarily covering her face. "You're a grown man, aren't you ashamed?" "I'm crying for the woman I love. What's there to be ashamed of?"
"You're sick!"
Tom wasn't embarrassed, but Jane was. She grabbed her coat and ran out all the way.
Tom chased after her without hesitation. I stood up abruptly, and Jack spoke up, "Let them sort it out themselves. Tom won't take advantage of someone in distress, so rest assured." "Alright." thought about it. Love affairs like this are beyond others' control.
Jack bent down, picked up my coat, and helped me put it over my shoulders, elegant and refined. "Shall I take you home?"
"Yes." Jane had left, and there was no point in staying here.
