Mason’s thin lips curled into a thin smile. He stared at his phone while fighting the urge to make the first move but in the end, he dialed Janet’s phone number.
“Babe, I miss you very much,” a deep and sensual voice greeted Janet over the phone.
Janet was busy packing her things in her bedroom, and so she slowed down slightly when she heard Mason’s voice. She gasped before answering him, “Me too…” However, she changed her mind mid-sentence and said, “Have you had lunch?”
His voice was light and casual when he answered her, “Yes, I have had lunch. What are you doing?”
Hearing Janet’s light panting, he used up every ounce of willpower he had not to hang up on the phone call and dash to the Jackson Residence right now to kiss Janet hard on her lips.
Janet glanced at the things scattered across her room and she answered truthfully, “I’m packing to move out.”
“Move out?” Mason’s tone turned icy cold immediately. “Did they chase you out?”
“No.”
After explaining the entire situation to Mason, Janet suddenly heard him instructing someone on the other end of the line, “Clean and tidy up the room opposite mine immediately.”
Janet was stumped when she heard that, and she tightened her grip on her clothes reflexively. She commented awkwardly, “I didn’t say that I want to stay over at your place…”
“I said that,” answered Mason firmly, and he sounded delighted.
Janet cleared her throat lightly, and her cheeks reddened. She couldn’t even string a complete sentence together. “I-I have things to attend to. That’s all for now.”
With that, she pressed the ‘End Call’ button with her long and slender finger.
On the other hand, Mason stared at his phone record with the words ‘Young Lady’, and he just couldn’t hide his tender and loving smile.
I was racking my brain trying to think of an excuse to get Janet here. Who would have expected the Jacksons to be so helpful this time?
On the second floor bedroom in Jackson Residence, Emily was trying on the necklace Rebecca bought her, and she looked especially happy. “Rebecca, how do I look?”
Rebecca knew her way around pairing accessories and had a keen eye on picking and pairing them. Nevertheless, it was undeniable that this set of limited edition necklace looked especially great on Emily.
After giving Emily an once-over, Rebecca smiled at her while nodding in approval. “You look wonderful. I told you! You have a fair and slender neck so it would be perfect on you.”
Upon hearing that, Emily smiled while responding shyly, “Well, it’s all thanks to the pretty necklace you bought.”
Suddenly, Rebecca heard some noise upstairs so she stretched her neck out while asking in confusion. “Is Janet really moving out?”
“Mm-hmm. She won’t get along with us.” Emily nodded.
“Why not?” Rebecca seemed very puzzled. Emily is clearly easy-going, so why would Janet not get along with her?
Emily pursed her lips together before covering her mouth and whispering, “You know what? She hasn’t even completed her studies in junior high! That is why we don’t share the same mentality, so we don’t really have common topics to chat about,”
Rebecca’s smiling face turned to a surprised look. Then, she stared fixedly at Emily with her large eyes.
No wonder Emily doesn’t chat with Janet; so this is the reason. If I were in her shoes, I wouldn’t want to chat with Janet, who only has a junior high education level, too.
When she considered the facts, disgust and resentment flashed across Rebecca’s face.
Fortunately, Janet is moving out soon. Otherwise, we are sure to bump into each other since we are living under the same roof. How awkward would that be?
Noticing Rebecca’s doubtful expression, Emily held onto Rebecca’s arm while flashing her an innocent and warm smile. “Rebecca, let’s practice playing piano. We can invite Chloe too.”
“Sure, I’ve been looking forward to playing on Hilbert’s piano.”
…….
Just when Janet was halfway through packing her luggage, she heard a whooshing sound outside the window.
Therefore, she put down her clothes and approached the window while arching her brows.
Once she moved closer, she caught sight of Mason, who was dressed in complete black, staring sincerely at her.
“Why did you come over in broad daylight?” Janet smiled. It seemed as if the man was shrouded by a chilly aura.
Mason pressed his lips together while suppressing the agony in his heart. He took a step forward to wrap Janet in his arms while breathing in her familiar scent.
“Babe, I can’t take it anymore. For the past few days, my heart has been aching each time I think about you,” his husky and sensual voice rang loud in Janet’s ears.
