Chapter 100: Misunderstandings
“This is what we should do, Mary. Anyway, what happened to you and Monroe in Warren City? Why did you get shot? Also, your face is badly wounded! Did Monroe bully you?” Jayce asked Mary.
Mary’s heart skipped a beat!
How should she answer?
Did Monroe give them an explanation?
She didn’t check their statements in advance. If she answered incorrectly, would it cause any unnecessary trouble for Monroe?
Mary looked conflicted and didn’t answer for a long time.
Jayce sighed. “Since the two of you aren’t willing to talk, forget it. You should rest well. I’m going back to New York.”
Jayce turned around and was about to leave.
Mary called out to him again. “Jayce!”
Jayce turned around, and Mary looked at him with a sincere and apologetic gaze.
Jayce’s heart suddenly skipped a beat, and then he heard Mary say, “Some time ago… I mistakenly expressed my feelings for you, causing you trouble. I’m really sorry!
“Actually, out of all the brothers in the Hall family at that time, you were the only one who was so gentle to me, so I lost myself…this was a misunderstanding! I think of you as my biological brother from the bottom of my heart!
“I’m really sorry. Can we still be the same as before, just a happy brother with his sister?”
Mary looked at Jayce with anticipation in her eyes and he hesitated for three seconds before replying calmly, “Of course, Mary.”
Mary revealed a bright and happy smile!
She was really happy!
The misunderstanding with Jayce was all cleared up and it would be less of a burden to be with Monroe later on!
However, due to her identity as a special agent and her work mission, she had to think of a way for him to not be angry even if he knew the truth in the future!
Mary suddenly remembered that she had left in a hurry and her phone seemed to have been left in Warren City. Wouldn’t that mean that she had temporarily lost contact with the organization?
Jayce stared at Mary and saw that she was already thinking about her own life. He silently walked out of the ward.
Herman and Hugh had already left. Nelson was waiting for Jayce outside the door, wearing a mask and a hat.
Seeing Jayce come out, he immediately stood up. “You’re leaving?”
Jayce said, “Yes, let’s go.”
The two brothers went to the garage and sat in the car.
The driver drove to the airport. Jayce put on his gold-rimmed glasses and lowered his head to work on the tablet.
Nelson Hall put on his headphones and was about to turn on the music when he realized that something was wrong.
Although Jayce was looking at the tablet, his eyes did not move.
So, when he was supposed to working, he was distracted!
This was unreal!
Jayce Hall the workaholic of the Hall Family, distracted?
When he was 18, he started to lead the Hall group. When he was 25, he became the CEO!
Jayce loved his work more than his lover, so how could he be distracted from his work?
Nelson felt that he had seen something that he had never seen before, so he asked, “What’s wrong with you?”
Jace came back to his senses and was stunned.
Just now… his mind was like a blur as he recalled something that he shouldn’t have remembered.
But the more he tried to control himself, the more he remembered.
That night, in the pool, Mary held her breath out of the water and kissed him!
He still clearly remembered the taste of her tongue in his mouth.
In fact, it was very sweet.
He also remembered that the next morning, she confessed her love and his cold rejection of it.
His words were sharp, ruthless, and even cut off all possibilities between them.
Jayce felt that he was not wrong.
This was the first time he had seen her from that time.
He did not expect that she would have already moved on and chalked it up to a misunderstanding…
What a misunderstanding!
Nelson did not receive an answer, so he asked again, “Jayce? What happened?”
Jayce’s eyes drooped slightly behind his glasses, obscuring his true expression. “I think I’ve been played!”
