In reality, Jared did not get on his knees. After holding out until 9 p.m, he took a deep breath and flashed a triumphant grin at Javier.“This isn’t much. Just like I said, I’m rich. This money isn’t anything to me, really. It isn’t anything.”Jared got up to leave the bar after that without even greeting Joey.Joey commented, “I think you lost.”Javier asked with a beam, “Have you ever been a preschool teacher?”When Joey shook her head, Javier said, “Me neither, but I’ve heard from a friend that preschool teachers are stern and do not allow kids to soil their pants. Anyone who does that gets punished.“So when the teacher asks who soiled their pants, no one will admit to it.“Is it the truth, though? Obviously not. Only those who soiled their pants know the truth.”When Javier finished, Joey understood. She knew that Javier was implying that Jared had soiled his pants but refused to admit it. What she did not understand was how he could be so confident about it. Just as she
By the time Joey left the hospital, she was fretting with worry, her usual cheeriness long gone.Javier smiled when he took the diagnosis report from her.“Are you gloating over this?” Joey was upset when she spotted the smile on Javier’s face.He shook his head. “I wouldn’t have suggested that you come to the hospital if I were to do that.”That was all it took to silence Joey, as it made sense when she thought about it. However, she still wanted to know what Javier’s smile meant.Javier told her after they got in the car. “I was just smiling about the doctor’s suggestion. All they know is to do surgery.”Joey asked in delighted surprise, as if she had seen newfound hope, “What are you saying?”“If you trust me, I can help you.”“Huh?!” Joey was stunned. She had wholeheartedly thought that Javier would know some professional specialist, only for him to say that he would be doing it himself.Once Joey remembered where her cyst was and realized Javier was going to treat her him
With Javier’s “treatment”, Evanna finally failed to hold herself back. Her instinct had made her let go of her self-restraint and prepare herself to take what was about to come. She could care less that she was currently in the office.Javier was thrilled when he saw the flushed Evanna get up from the chair. He knew that it was a success—he was definitely experiencing the woman’s sultriness and delicateness today.Just when Evanna was about to throw herself into his arms, looking dazed and passionate, hasty knocks came from the office door.The external factor woke Evanna up entirely, painting her redder like she was going to drip blood. She quickly turned the video off and smoothed her wrinkled clothes down as much as possible before she glared at Javier. “It’s all your fault, stupid Javier.”It sounded like a whiny admonishment, but there was no bite in Evann’s tone.Javier looked at Evanna, who was about to end up with him yet had gotten away in exasperation. There was nothing
What a determined man!Javier liked that, so he patted the guy’s shoulder. “All right, we’ll play a game of getting what you wish for.“What did that mean? The tattooed guy did not quite catch it, simply assuming that Javier would not dare kill him. The longer he had spent in the gangs, the more braggers he had met. Nobody actually dared to kill someone, but there were plenty who said they wanted to kill someone.That was why he was unfazed about Javier’s threat of perching a blade against his neck. Javier did not seem like he cared either as he continued smoking nonchalantly. Of course, to prevent the guy from escaping, he pulled the guy’s hands back against the tree and pinned them down with the dagger.The action made the tattooed guy cry in pain as he wailed again.His accomplices were infuriated and wanted to fight Javier wielding the shovels, but Javier picked up a glass shard to push it against the tattooed guy’s neck. What he meant was clear—a step forward, and he would
Brazen—that was what Javier was. He kept the secretary in his arms and toyed with her. No matter how the secretary struggled, she was unable to escape his vice-like clutch.Tyler was trembling in rage. “You lawless b*stard!”Tyler was not one to only curse at Javier as he picked up the phone to call the security guards.Javier suddenly grabbed the secretary’s high heel and threw it out. The supposedly ordinary black-sequined high heel turned into a powerful weapon in Javier’s hand.Tyler did not even get to react when the eight-centimeter heel of the shoe stabbed his eye. He howled in pain right away, but it was in vain.For the sake of his convenience to do anything in the office and not let others hear it, he had specifically requested a soundproofed room. Unless one fired a gunshot in the office, those outside could hardly hear the noises in there.That was why his agonized cries did not get any attention. Javier’s bold advances on the secretary were the only thing he got in r
Javier would never get rough with someone who had been forced to do a bad thing. That was, of course, if she was telling the truth. As it turned out, the secretary, Bernadetta James, had not been lying. She led Javier to the hospital, and the moment the nurse and the doctor greeted the girl, he knew she was telling the truth. A nurse giving an injection in the ward even began to chastise him. “You! What kinda boyfriend are you? The poor girl has to work during the day and care for her father at night–every single day to boot! Do you even know how tough that is? At least try to take turns, man. God, man up and share your girlfriend’s burden for a change!”Bernadetta was aghast. Her kind-hearted nurse friend was scolding the Devil Incarnate! He was going to kill her–he really was!“You’re right. I’m sorry,” Javier replied sheepishly. “I’ll take your advice into consideration.”His apologetic behavior was good enough that the nurse only chided him a bit more before letting him off
Bernadetta had once asked the doctor how long her father’s coma might last. The most likely estimate? A very pessimistic three years. And yet, Mr. James had awakened before his coma had even lasted three months. Bewildered, Bernadette rushed to the hospital, only to see that the doctor was just as puzzled by the change. According to the CT scan, the clots had disappeared completely, vanishing into thin air as though they had never existed, despite the fact that the scan a week ago had shown a grave number of clots! How could all of them be spontaneously removed in a week? One could only achieve that through surgery, and yet the doctor had never ordered one to be performed. So how had the clots just…disappeared this quickly? The doctor checked the old man’s head. Maybe he had forgotten performing the surgery. Unbelievable as it might sound, this hypothesis would at least be more plausible than the alternative. There were no scars anywhere, though, so there had not been an operat
Evanna was ready? Well, Javier had already been anticipating this before her! He had been waiting for this moment. He had been waiting for it for so long... At last!He nipped on Evanna’s skin, toying with it until her cheeks turned scarlet. When the foreplay was over, she closed her eyes sheepishly with bated breath. She puckered her lips unconsciously as she waited for the moment when she was no longer a maiden but a real woman. Goodbye, innocence! This farewell might be a skin-tearing, painful one too! This was the moment of truth—but the moment was interrupted when the phone suddenly rang. Javier was so not into it. What kind of idiot would let go of the ripe fruit in his hands for that sort of mundane sh*t?!The sudden ringtone startled Evanna, though, who turned and saw Joey’s name on the screen. “It’s my mom! Why is she calling you this early in the morning?” she asked aloud as she picked the phone up and brought it closer to Javier’s face. Javier was speechless. H
