Chapter 38

Elise was rather generous, but Jack pursed his lips and was unable to stifle the urge to explain on behalf of Ashlyn. “Ashlyn is not usually like this; she is actually a really nice person. Something must have gotten into her today and caused her to behave this way, or maybe she didn’t manage to control herself and did it in the spur of the moment. Elise, please don’t take it to heart.”

Judging from his words, it was obvious that Jack treated Ashlyn as a close friend and he trusted her very much, even after that sort of an incident had happened.

“Don’t worry. As long as she doesn’t mess with me, I’m not going to provoke her on purpose.” Although Elise had no intention to meddle in someone else’s relationship, this might not be the case for Ashlyn.

Upon hearing that, Jack breathed a sigh of relief. “Thank you, Elise.”

 

“You are welcome.”

“Alright, then. I’m performing in a concert soon, so here are two VIP concert tickets for you as a token of my gratitude.”

 

Elise rejected his offer this time. “I’ll pass. I have no intention to get involved in your matters, especially after the incident last time. I don’t want to get killed by your fans,

thank you very much. You can save it for someone else who may need it.”

“Alright, then. I’ll treat you to a meal someday.”

Elise found it a good suggestion. “That’s nice, but you better make sure that it’s good, else it won’t count.”

Upon hearing that, Jack agreed readily, “Rest assured; I definitely won’t let you down.” Then, he turned to Alexander and said, “Alex, please join us when the time comes. It has been such a long time since we last had a gathering. I’ll find a day to host a meal and everyone can get together.”

“Hey, how could you do this? You agreed to treat me to a meal, but why are you suddenly organizing a gathering with your brothers?” Feeling upset, Elise glared at Jack angrily, which seemed quite adorable to Alexander. The latter raised his eyebrows and thought to himself, Why do I suddenly find Elise pretty?
