Chapter 22 Chris’s Warning
Jennifer looked at Chris in the passenger seat.
See his eyes didn’t move away from the window, the feeling of embarrassment in the bottom of her heart, slightly dissipated.
She held a tissue and lowered her head, silently wiping the rain on her body.
Chris looked in the rearview mirror at the thin figure in the backseat.
She even did not even wear a coat on this cold day, she was hailing a taxi in this pouring rain outside, which made Chris somewhat curious.
“Miss Lim, why didn’t Master Marc give you a ride?”
Upon hearing the name Master Marc Jennifer frowned in confusion. It took her a while to realize that she was Brian’s ‘woman’ now.
She clutched the tissue in her hand and lay casually. “I had a fight with him, and he threw me out of the car.
Chris nodded slightly. “I see.”
He saw her shivering with cold, raised his hand to turn up the heat, and asked no more.
The sudden rise in temperature in the car, made Jennifer’s cold stiff body, gradually warmed up.
She looked at Chris gratefully and explained carefully, “I wanted to hail a taxi online, but my phone died and the shop next door was closed. There was nowhere to hide from the rain. I just stood at the intersection to hail a taxi. I’m really sorry to trouble you.”
With one hand resting on his chin, Chris looked at Jennifer in the
rearview mirror and gently reassured her, “It’s okay.” This content is © NôvelDrama.Org.
Jennifer relaxed, leaned her head against the window, and closed her
eyes.
She was really too tired, relaxed in the warm air, and soon fell asleep.
Before long, the car stopped in front of her house.
Chris said without looking back, “Miss Lim, we were here.”
Chris waited for a while, but no response come from the backseat. Then he turned around.
His eyes widened slightly when he saw Jennifer leaning against the window, sleeping soundly.
This woman must be feeling real secured to sleep so soundly in a stranger’s car.
Did she think he was a good guy?
Chris frowned and signaled to his assistant.
The assistant quickly got up, went around to the back seat, opened the door, and pushed Jennifer.
“Miss Lim, we were at your place now.”
Jennifer was pushed awake, opening her eyelids in difficulty, eyes full of dark shadows, blurred, she couldn’t see anything.
She knew it was the rain that was making her sicker, but her mind was clear and she remembered that it was Chris’s car.
She hurriedly forced herself to sit up straight, again she said thank you in embarrassment, and then pushed open the door to get out of the car.
“Miss Lim.”
Chris called out to her and handed her an umbrella from the back seat. “It’s still raining hard outside. Take it.”
She saw the logo on the umbrella and knew it was worth one hundred thousand. She was afraid that she wouldn’t be able to return it to him after she took it, so she said softly, “Thank you. It’s just a few steps. I’ll just run over.”
Chris was stunned for a moment as if he could see what Jennifer was thinking from her eyes. He threw the umbrella at her directly. “You don’t have to return it.”
Jennifer was at a loss, but seeing that Chris couldn’t take no for an answer, she took it.
“Mr. Murphy, please give me your contact information and I’ll return it to you tomorrow.”
When Chris heard her asking for contact information, he looked at her with slight disdain. “Miss Lim, I don’t like a woman who throws herself at me.”
Jennifer didn’t expect him to misinterpret her words and quickly explained, “That’s not what I meant. I think this umbrella…”
“Miss Lim.”
Chris interrupted her coldly with a warning in his eyes. “No matter what you mean, I’m sending you home out of the goodness of my heart. If you have other intentions, I suggest you stop thinking about it.”
This made Jennifer very uncomfortable. She didn’t say anything more, just put down the umbrella and turned to leave.
After taking two steps in the rain and feeling unconvinced, he turned to Chris and said:
“Mr. Murphy, thank you for taking me home, but you don’t have to judge
1. I just felt that the umbrella you gave me was too expensive. I was afraid that I wouldn’t have the chance to return it to you, so I refused it.
Jennifer said in one breath, she didn’t wait to see his expression, just turned to run into her home.
Chris looked at the petite figure, slightly dazed.
He felt that a woman like Jennifer would try to seduce someone with a little bit of money.
Otherwise, she wouldn’t have just left Shaun and turned to Brian’s arms.
But what she just said made Chris a little embarrassed, as if he had misunderstood her too much..
