A Night with Her Cruel Mate

"Are you sure you don't need my help?" Terence frowned, annoyed at the thought of what Julia had done.

"No, thanks." Jean gave him a sweet smile. "Terence, I know you are nice to me, but please let me handle the issue on my own. Julia is my sister after all, and I don't want to strain our relationship."

"All right." Seeing that Jean wasn't going to change her mind, Terence had no choice but to accept her decision. He looked straight ahead and cleared his throat. "If you need help, just let me know. Even though Julia and I are divorced, it doesn't affect the friendship between you and me. So, don't worry about being a bother."

Jean had originally been pleased after secretly slandering Julia. However, when she heard Terence mention the word "friendship," she began to feel frustrated.

"Friendship?" She arched an eyebrow. She was stunned at what he said and wanted to make sure that she didn't mishear him.

"Yes." Terence nodded with a smile. "Although we are not meant to be a couple, I still believe that we can be good friends."

"Well..." Jean's face darkened into a scowl at his declaration.

So many things in H City had changed ever since Jean left three years ago. She had wanted to use this as an excuse to spend time with Terence and kindle the feelings between them. But his description of their relationship disappointed her.

They walked in silence for a little while before Jean turned to face Terence. "I'm sorry, Terence. I'm not feeling well today. I want to go back and rest."

"What's wrong?" He didn't seem notice that Jean was in already a bad mood. When he heard that she wasn't feeling well, he immediately asked if she wanted to go to the hospital.

Jean politely refused his suggestion.

"There's no need for that. I just haven't gotten over the jet lag. That's probably why I'm not feeling so well."
