Fall in Love After the Flash Marriage novel Chapter 140

He did.

Thinking of his cold eyes and his cruel move that night, she gets chills all over the body.

“What are you afraid of?”

Luke frowns in displeasure.

Jenny leans against the place between the back of the seat and the door and grasps the seat belt firmly.

She doesn’t know what she’s afraid of. She has done everything that they could do with Luke. What can she be afraid of?

“It’s not so easy for Adan to break into the entertainment market in the mainland China. If he wants to help you, he can’t just talk about it. I want you to know that.”

Luke looks away and starts the car again, as if the man who treated her coldly is not him.

Jenny stares at him. It takes a long while for her to get over.

Thinking of what has happened today, she has figured it out thoroughly and says in a deep voice,

“I didn’t push Jessica. She fell herself.”

“I know.”

When she hears his answer, Jenny looks up and asks, “so you believe me?”

So far, even Shawn and Cecelia could not fully believe in her, because she has admitted that she had an argument with Jessica before. They think that she pushed Jessica during their argument, even if she didn’t mean to do it. Undoubtedly, Luke is the first one believing in her.

“If you were bold enough to do it, you wouldn’t bear to be slapped just now.”

Luke glances at the rear-view mirror and sees the gauze on her forehead. His eyes look even colder.

How Hill Group, a small potato, dares to offend his girl.

Luke doesn’t own a lot of real estate in the suburbs in X City. The value-added speed of suburban real estate is too slow, which can’t even cover the cost of maintenance. But the one they are going to was bought for vacation.

It is isolated.

It’s near the lake which is of European style. The house is very old. Although it is winter now, there are still Boston ivy clinging to the wall. It’s easy to imagine that how flourish it is in summer.

There are no servants here, and Luke seldom come. When he bought it, he intended to use it for summer resort. After all, it is a nice place. However, he is busy in working, so the house is idle.

“Go open the door.”

Luke gives Jenny the key.

Jenny gets out of the car with the key, steps on the soft ground, and looks at it in surprise. It’s so wet that there is mossy.

Through the iron gate, there are many weeds. A dark brown wooden door is facing the cobblestone road. The yard is large. There is a fountain, but it seems that it has not been used for a long time, and in which there are dirty water and many unknown plant.

When she opens the door, Jenny suddenly feels that there would be some monsters locked inside. She is holding a flashlight with her mobile phone, and it takes her a long while to insert the key into the lock hole.

Finally, she unlocks it. She turns the doorknob, and pushes the door. A gust of wind blows over bring the dust which makes her cough.

“Ahem...”

It must be vacant for a long time?

She raises her arm and waves, trying to get rid of the dust.

Luke comes in, gropes to turn on the light. Now they can see clearly.

The trunk makes a long mark on the ground. After two steps, he takes out a handkerchief, covers his mouth and stops going.

Although it is not cobwebbed, but it is so dusty that people can’t stay in.

“How long has this house been vacant?” Jenny turns and looks at him.

Seeing his facial expression, she immediately bursts into laughter, “come on, didn’t you expect it?”

Luke puts down his luggage, turns around and goes out.

“Hey...”

Jenny follows him, “where are you going? Are you going to leave me here alone?”

It is dark, and she doesn’t want to be here alone.

And then she hears a violent cough at the door.

She suddenly remembers that Luke is allergic to the dust.

“Are you OK?” She moves closer, hesitates for a moment, turns back to the car, takes bottle of water and hands it to him.

Luke drinks several and his face turns pale.

He is really allergic to the dust. Jenny finally believes it.

“What now?”

Sitting in the car, they look at the house with the door wide open. If Luke doesn’t have this strange allergy, they can still just go in and clean up for staying one night. The problem now is that he can’t go in there at all.

“I’ll make a call.” Luke takes out his cell phone dialing a number.

“I’m in the LH Villa. Get someone to clean up the house now.”

“...”

“Yes, now.”

“Are you kidding me? Shoot! I’m on a business trip...”

There is a clamor from the cell phone, even Jenny could hear it.

This voice sounds familiar to her, and what surprises her is that who dares to yell at Luke like that.

“I need someone to clean the house and let me have a place to sleep within two hours, that’s it.”

After that, he hangs up.

He leaves no room for other to negotiate.

“You can have a nap now, and I’ll call you after two hours.”

Luke says with a nasal voice. Maybe it is because of the dust. At this moment, he seems subdued.

Suddenly, Jenny feels funny.

Who can image that he will be beaten by a dust?

Although the air conditioner is turned on in the car, it is stuffy and hot after staying for a while. Jenny couldn’t stands it, “you can have a rest. I want to go around.”

The lights in the house are all good, so she is not afraid. She didn’t see how was the inside of the house just now. It seems that there is a record player. She is a little curious as she had one at home before. She wants to have a look at it.

After getting out of the car, she walks into the house, fearing to break the silence of the night.

The light in the house is yellow, probably because it’s the old-fashioned electric bulb, which makes the house less bright.

The record player is placed in the corner with a dust cloth on it. It only covers the half of it, which makes the other half having a lot of dust.

Jenny blows the dust off it, and then picks out a record from one of the boxes and put it in the record player.

She powers it on, put on the needle, the player shakes twice, and then the record turns leisurely.

“At the night, there is a quiet song...”

There is a pure and sweet voice coming out from the loudspeaker. It’s sound make her feel leisure and think of the her childhood.

Jenny stands by the record player, thinking a lot of things.

Outside the house, in the car, Luke is stunned when hearing the sound of the record. His face shows a strange expression which seems like a warm smile.

There is a sudden crash in the house, breaking the peace.
