Bye-Bye Jerk, Hello Mr. Right

My heart was touched. Even though I was a foster child in this family, Jace’s parents treated me with the same care and love as their own daughter. They made me feel like one of them.

I remembered Jace’s brother, Wayne, joking that ever since I joined the family, both he and Jace had been knocked down the pecking order

Lena was right. I could break up with Jace, but breaking away from his family would be much harder.

I took a deep breath and pushed the door open.

Everyone’s eyes turned to me, and Lindey quickly got up and came over. “Rea, you’re back. We were just waiting for you to have dinner,”

“Hey Lindey, Matthew,” I greeted them. Jace, who had been kicked by Matthew, stood up and

came over.

He took my bag. “Why are you back so late?”

“I played some pool,” I said. I knew Steve would tell him about our meeting, so there was no point in hiding it.

Jace frowned a bit. “Next time you want to go, call me to join.”

He didn’t like me hanging out for fun, especially without him. He definitely didn’t want me spending time with his friends alone. Yet, he went out with his la card he never gave me.

I didn’t respond and headed to the bathroom instead.

Jace followed. “What’s wrong?”

“Nothing, I’m fine,” I said, washing my hands and giving him a smile in the mirror.

Jace had promised to fill it with the largest diamond ring, but I was still waiting for it.

“Today I saw Tanya. She was using your supplementary card to shop,” I said amidst the sound of running water.

Jace’s expression stiffened. “Don’t misunderstand. Desmond’s parents blamed her for his

death and cut off all her cards. She needs to live, so I gave her one.”

I turned off the faucet and faced him. “Jace, are you indebted to Tanya or Desmond in some way?”

Jace’s eyes widened in shock, and I could see the veins on his forehead bulging. “What nonsense are you talking about?”

I

“If not, why are you so attentive to Tanya? Or… thought about the gossip on Demi’s phone.” Did something happen between you two in college?”

“Rea!” Jace’s voice turned cold. “Are you investigating me?”

Seeing the anger on his face, I gave a faint smile “Everyone at the company has seen the video of you hugging her. Do you think that hasn’t caused a st

My words left Jace silent. Seeing his reaction, I pressed on. “So, there really is something between you and Tanya.” C0pyright © 2024 Nôv)(elDrama.Org.

“No, there was absolutely nothing back then, Jace denied.

I caught the slip. “You mean there’s something now?”

Panic flashed in his eyes. He grabbed my still–wet hand. “Rea, stop overthinking. I told you,

I’m done with her.” once she has the baby

I remained silent.

He added, “Alright, I’ll arrange for a caregiver and a confinement nurse for her. I won’t see her alone anymore. She can contact Gavin if she needs anyth
