Jean never expected that he would say something like this. She was choked.
"Don't you have a second degree in management? You are already better than me, even if you don't participate in the activity," said Jean. Then she rolled the suitcase and walked forward.
Arthur stepped swiftly to catch up. "You know I had a second degree?"
If his memory served him right, he didn't mention it to her.
It was ironic that they had had sex but they knew little about each other. No wonder he didn't know how to find her after she disappeared.
Jean hastened her steps at his question. He used to be famous among international students for being all-around and preeminent. People talked about him a lot.
She was then eccentric, occupied taking minor courses, and not interested in men. She had heard about him but didn't know what he looked like.
People said he was a personable rich kid.
After they had sex, he came to find her at her apartment, and someone recognized him. Jean then came to realize that she had slept with THE Arthur.
She didn't know she was so good at picking men. She easily found the most outstanding one.
Though Jean didn't answer, Arthur was quite happy, for he had made sure that she knew something about him. Otherwise, why did she know he had a management degree?
Having boarded, Jean asked for the blanket and put on the eye mask. By doing so, she also managed to kill any chance of talking with Arthur.
She was annoyed by Arthur's unexpected perseverance.
She thought he would no longer badger her after she shrugged him off and turned him down. But he had become this whole other person who was shameless and… possessive.
Jean started to question whether she knew him well.
Though she closed her eyes, she was in chaos.
As for Arthur, he looked peaceful. Jean would spend almost half a month at the expo. It would take him the same period of time to take part in the training program. He would try to transform how she thought about him.
She didn't need to forgive or accept him. At least, she could let down her guard.
Jean didn't know when she fell asleep. She was too exhausted. But she was leaning towards the porthole before she fell asleep, why did she wake up in Arthur's arms?
Jean freed herself from his embrace and scolded, "Rat!"
"You leaned in yourself," Arthur said innocently.
Jean answered with a sneer. She was always a tight sleeper, so she wouldn't move around, even on the plane. How could she lean in?
It must be him.
But she was not in the mood for arguing.
Arthur did hold her in his arms when she fell asleep. Then he also took a nap.
He didn't sleep well recently.
When he realized that he had lost her, he was almost torn apart by remorse and pain. He could hardly sleep nor eat.
He went home to have dinner with his parent several days ago. The moment his mother saw him, she cried out, "Why do you lose so much weight?"
While he was still making up excuses, his mother, Abigail, said, "Did you split up with your girlfriend?"
Then Abigail ate her words, "No way. You don't have a girlfriend. You also don't look like someone with a girlfriend."
Was she really his mother?
Why could she be so sure that he didn't break up with his girlfriend?
What did she mean by not looking like someone with a girlfriend?
"I don't expect you to have a girlfriend. I'm already prepared to see you bring a boyfriend home." Abigail sighed.
Arthur was so livid that he couldn't spend one more minute at home.
Arthur planned to have a feast and build up strength at home since he could eat nor sleep recently. Who would know that her mother treated him like this?
When the plane landed, Arthur helped Jean pick up her luggage. However, Jean took her own suitcase. "Pease don't bother me when we are abroad."
"Why?" Arthur was shocked. The reason why he followed her abroad was to take this opportunity to make up with her. He didn't expect her to say something like this.
"The deputy manager of our company and my assistant also came here. He is my father's confidant."
Arthur was puzzled. "So what?"
Jean glanced at him and said, "Because my father wants me to marry a local. You are not one of his choices. If you come to find me, the deputy manager will tell my father."
Arthur frowned. What did she mean? He was not a local, so he couldn't chase after her?
Jean saw the confusion in his eyes. "My father isn't healthy. I have to take care of him with my mother. So they want me to settle in Zoshalor. I think you won't come to Zoshalor for me. Your parents won't agree."
"So there is no possibility between us. You'd better not invest in me." Jean finished what he wanted to say.
She thought a lot about the plane. She and Arthur were unhappy in the past and they would face the opposition of her parents in the future.
She was the only child, and so was he. His parents would not let him settle in Zoshalor for her. He would not be willing to do so himself. After all, his best brother and his business were all in Riverside city.
She finally made the decision.
She didn't expect that Arthur would come with her, but since he came with her, she thought it would be better for her to talk about it. Then he didn't need to waste time on her anymore.
There are many good girls of great family backgrounds in Riverside city. He didn't need to splurge his time on her.
Jean then rolled her suitcase and planned to leave. But as soon as she turned around, she was dragged back by Arthur.
Arthur didn't know what he should do. He just held her wrist tightly and refused to loosen it.
"Have you asked me about it?" He forced himself to calm down. He dragged her into his arms and asked her in a deep voice.
"What?" Jean didn't understand what he meant. For a moment, she forgot that she was in his arms.
