"Who is it?"
I look at the lights in the study and ask in a low voice.
Actually, I don't want to hide anything from Frances, but I don't want him to know about Hilda's matter
until I figure it out.
"Jason."
Mindy says solemnly.
It sounds like a man. Can he be Hilda's lover?
He can't be.
It looks like she fancies Frances so much. Can she have another man in her heart?
Rather than speculating, I'd better ask.
"Tell me more, I don't know who Jason is."
"Of course you, an ordinary citizen, don't know who Jason is. But in the underworld, everyone knows
Jason. He is an expert in bomb and firearm manufacturing under the world's largest arms dealer. It is
said that no one can defuse the time bomb he made except him. Anyway, David said that this man is
so amazing."
I am very uneasy at Mindy's words.
Hilda is actually in connection with such a person. But I find it fishy.
Was she looking for Jason to catch up as old friends, or did she have other purposes?
If she had other purposes, what would they be?
In an instant, my mind is in a mess.
"Then do you know if Hilda and Jason had a friendship? What did they meet for?"
I need to know everything about Hilda so that I won't panic. Therefore, I ask her further.
"I don't know. The place where they talked was so hidden. But I'm sure they knew each other before.
You know, Hilda's husband is from the underworld, so he has contacts with Jason."
"Okay, keep an eye on her. I need to go to bed. I have to get up at four in the morning to put on my
makeup. Remember to come early with David."
"Okay, it's my best friend's wedding, I must be there early. Good night, love you."
Hanging up the phone, I feel my heart goes chaotic.
I have no idea why Hilda looked for Jason.
After all, the person she came into contact with was terrifying enough.
I didn't have a good sleep all night because of the uneasiness.
I didn't fall asleep until three o' clock.
In a daze, I feel like someone is calling me.
"Jane, get up and eat. You'll have to put on your makeup later."
"What?"
I open my drowsy eyes and see Frances holding a bowl and looking at me with gentleness.
"Have some sweet dumplings. Otherwise, you'll be starved until noon."
I nod and get out of bed.
I don't have the energy to wash up, so I pick up the bowl and eat.
My head is dizzy. Will I black out later at the wedding?
I am in such a bad state even if I've slept, so won't Frances feel even worse from not sleeping at all?
As I eat, I say to Frances, "Won't you sleep for a while? You don't need makeup. You've been busy all
night. Take a rest."
"Alright. I'll take a nap later." He nods at me and looks at me with a tender gaze.
I take a few sweet dumplings and feel full.
I put down the bowl and suddenly, I want to hug the man in front of me.
After experiencing so many things, he is still by my side. I feel that God is too kind to me.
Probably the happiest thing in my life is having him by my side.
"What's the matter?"
Frances strokes my hair. His words carry inexhaustible tenderness.
"I just feel that I love you so much and want to embrace you." I bury my head in his chest and hug him
tighter.
"Little fool, I love you too."
He lowers his head and stares at me with an affectionate expression, and a lingering kiss hits my
lips.
