Fall in Love After the Flash Marriage novel Chapter 162

It’s a fine day outside. It has been warming up recently and Spring should be here soon. The cold is on the retreat and people are wearing less.

He stands with mixed feelings by the window as the commotion from outside the office rings in his ears. He will usually go out to see what the commotion is about. He doesn’t like a rowdy occasion but Jenny does. That’s why she will definitely be present on those occasions and he will habitually go and have a look.

After he left the previous press announcement, Jessica called him several times and he didn’t answer. If it hadn’t because she had offended the company when she decided to leave, she might have looked for him at the company.

As for Jessica, he doesn’t wish to see her. As for Jenny, he can’t face up to her.

“Knock knock knock”

“Enter,” He didn’t look back and thought that someone must be looking for him to sign a document.

“Everyone’s eating cake outside, Mr. Hill should have one also.”

The voice behind surprises him and snaps him back to his senses.

“Jenny…”

Jenny pushes open the door with a plate with a cake and stands by the door. She bumps into Frankie’s daze look and is also stunned. She forces a smile, “You don’t seem to like a rowdy occasion, Shawn asks me to bring you a slice of cake. Have a taste, it’s rather good.”

She serves the plate to his table.

The table is in a mess like it has been a while since it was last tidied. What has the secretary been doing? She pushes aside some scrap paper to put down the plate and thereafter turns and says, “If there’s nothing else, I’ll take my leave.”

“Jenny…”

She turns and walks a couple of steps and stops.

“Anything?” Jenny didn’t turn around and calmly asks.

Frankie is sullen for a moment, “I would like to ask you if I sincerely apologize for all those I had done to you, will you forgive me?”

Jenny frowns, “That’s in the past, you don’t have to take it to heart.”

“If I were to guarantee that I agree to your demands, not to have kids and not to get married for the moment, can you give me another chance and come back to my side?”

“No.”

Jenny turns and looks up towards Frankie, with eyes full of pride. That’s her dignity and no one can trample on it, “Frankie, I didn’t give you the chance nor did I take it from you. We are incompatible. You need not be so hard on yourself because of the past. Our objectives are different. Even if it wasn’t for Jessica, we still won’t be together.”

These are her sincere words.

After the incident with Jessica, she found that she isn’t particularly upset with anyone. In fact, when she thinks about the breakup with Frankie, she actually feels fortunate. Because she finally realizes what is the problem between her and Frankie.

The problem was never Jessica but them alone.

Frankie is a homely man and isn’t ambitious. Whether is it the family or career he is always dependable and stable. He wants to find a good woman to spend the days with. This kind of woman must sacrifice for the family. In this case, actually, Jessica suits him very well.

Jenny doesn’t feel that she is suitable. She doesn’t have anyone to depend on but now Luke is throwing his support for her. She also is holding tightly to her career and in her eyes, her career meant everything to her.

As he looks at Jenny’s back, and the door being closed, Frankie’s heart sank coldly.

A chill flash across his eyes and his face darkens and sinks.

Can’t they be together even with Jessica out of the picture? Is her revelation after the breakup or she had already figured this out before the breakup?

Jenny, what are really your thoughts? Did you ever have me in your heart?

“Jenny, someone is looking for you downstairs…”

Just as she steps out of the office Daniel called out from the crowd.

Jenny asks in surprise, “Who is it?”

“I don’t know, the reception called and said that he’s a handsome senior gentleman…”

Upon hearing that, several in the department yells, Michelle as usual is the loudest, “Jenny, how come all the handsome guys come to look for you? You really have a way with men!”

Jenny laughs and didn’t continue the conversation. She walks towards the lift.

Senior gentleman? She doesn’t know many people and if considering the men and someone senior, she can’t think of who that might be.

Puzzled, she went down to look for the receptionist Samantha and she points with her pouted lips towards the waiting area and smiles, “Over there, looks rather young, is he your boyfriend?”

Jenny looks in the direction of the rest area where Samantha pointed and sees a man sitting on the sofa. He sits relaxed, wearing ill-fitting yellow work attire that revealed his ankle. He looks hesitant and out of place.

Jenny stares intently and couldn’t believe her eyes and walks over.

“Uncle…”

Allen hurriedly looks up when he hears the familiar voice and looks into her eyes. He looks like before, clean and flawless.

The image of the clean and elegant face came into view. Compared to the baby face three years ago, now her childishness has faded. What’s left is the beauty and elegance of a mature woman. But what is more important is she retains the purity of a girl that is irresistible to any man.

He is stunned and feels intimidated.

Jenny has thought about the scene when she sees him again but each image is different from the actual.

Allen has inherited the good genes of the family and has impeccable skin. At thirty years old, his complexion looks like one can squeeze water from it. To describe him as a valuable jade isn’t an exaggeration at all. If it isn’t for the green stubble on his chin which concealed his youthfulness, the receptionist would address him as a hunk rather than a senior gentleman.

He is a child born when Jenny’s grandparents were advance in age and because they were old, he was mainly brought up by Jenny’s mother. At that time, Jenny’s mother, Niver just got married and took him home to live together. Except for festivals, he lived in the Jin family all his life.

Jenny’s skills in catching fish and shrimps were taught to her by this uncle who is only older than her by several years.

In the posh café and under the yellow downlights, their image flicker on the wall. They remain speechless until the waiter served the coffee.

After a while, Allen clears his throat, “Jenny, how have you been over these years?”

Hearing her closest kin speak after all these years, Jenny’s heart stirs and is overwhelmed with emotions.

“Just like that, after the crisis at home, I went overseas to study. I graduated last June and Shawn contacted me. I joined the company as an intern and am doing well now. I’ll shoot movies and earn whenever the opportunity arises.”

“That’s good… if you’re doing well…” Allen nods. He avoids looking directly at Jenny’s eyes. He lifts his coffee cup and his arm trembles like it was weak and can’t hold it stable.

“What happened to your arm?”
