Chapter 1196 As If Nothing Has Happened
“I will,” Bella said seriously.
It shocked Christina that Bella accepted her advice seriously and decisively.
“But I can wait for the right time.” Bella was still young and no one forced her to date or marry someone.
If Benedict did love someone by then, she could just find someone else.
They talked about something else and then got down to their own business.
Alana had planned to sleep, but she had to toss and turn because of Jamarion.
She didn’t fall asleep until midnight and was narrowly late for school the second day.
This was her first time hurriedly going to school since she went abroad. She always got up early the second her alarm rang, but today she couldn’t get up on time because of Jamarion.
She began to wash quickly after getting up and she didn’t want to have breakfast or more precisely she couldn’t make one now.
When she rushed to the outside, her chauffeur sent her a box of sandwiches and said, “Jamarion asked me to give it to you because he kind of knew you got up late and gave you his breakfast.”
“Where is he?” Alana took the sandwiches and glanced at Jamarion’s villa.Belongs to (N)ôvel/Drama.Org.
“He said he wanted to hang out and leave you alone since you have lectures to attend this whole day.” The chauffeur told Alana exactly what Jamarion said to him.
Alana hummed and said nothing about it but told her chauffeur to drive her to the school as soon as possible.
Jamarion now said to her chauffeur that he’d leave her alone, but he was the reason why she had a bad sleep last night.
But she texted him anyway, “Thanks for the sandwiches.”
“How about dinner tonight?” Jamarion sent an invitation.
Alana got caught in a dilemma. Now they were in an awkward position – they were not each other’s lovers but they planned to marry each other in four years; she wanted to get along with him as friends but she knew he loved her.
“I think we agreed on getting along as friends. You can ignore my confession of love. If you are available this night, we’ll have dinner together; if you have a date with others, I’ll leave you alone.”
Alana didn’t respond because she literally knew nothing to say.
Jamarion called her since she kept silent for a long time. “Are you beginning to hate me?”
He asked carefully over the phone.
“No.” Alana denied.
She just didn’t know how to respond to him.
“Do you hate to have dinner with me?” He kept asking.
“No.” Alana denied it right away, merely following her heart.
She didn’t hate Jamarion or having dinner with him. She just thought it would be odd to face him again.
“So why not?” Jamarion decided.
Alana thought to herself, ‘How could he be so bossy for his age.’
“I’m about to enter the library, see you tonight.” Jamarion hung up the second he made that pretext, leaving no chance for her to refuse him over the phone.
Alana found his childish act fun and guessed he was afraid that she might turn him down. Did he think she could not turn him down because he hung up?
But she didn’t feel like refusing him.
She thought she should get to know him more since she decided to give him her answer in four years. If there were great differences in their dispositions, she would not be with him.
Alana was as gentle as her mom and also knew when to be decisive since it was about her happiness.
Alana didn’t mention a word about her agreement with Jamarion, even to her considerate mom Emelia.
Jamarion didn’t want to tell his parents either because he promised Alana to keep it from his parents, but her mom Nina was so curious and persistent, so he told his mom.
Of course, he told his mom to keep it secret, especially form Alana’s father. Nina knew the importance and promised that she would not disclose his secret to anyone.
“I had thought you would solve this in a flash.” Nina kidded.
“I’ve waited for her for three years and I can bear with another four years. I did it for longer happiness,” Jamarion said calmly.”
“She’s cautious and thus needs more time to know me.”
“And I couldn’t bear to push her.”
Jamarion spoke his mind to his mom. Nina gave him a thumb-up in the video. “You are doing the right thing by giving Alana enough time and respect.”
“Mom believes that your effort will pay off in the end.”
Nina didn’t expect that her son planned so comprehensively regarding his love for Alana. Love was not just about words, but also about actions.
“You and Dad need to pretend nothing has happened, especially in front of Uncle Cantillo,” Jamarion told his mom again.
“Got it. I’m an actress. Don’t you believe I can handle such an easy task?”
Jamarion was amused by his mother.
Nina knew that the secret significantly influenced her son’s happiness in the future. She would never mention it to Julian because it could only be determined by Jamarion and Alana.
Julian felt threatened since Jamarion went to Ascana and lived next to his daughter’s house.
One day it occurred to him again that Jamarion came to Ascana with some ulterior motive. So he persuaded Emelia to take a flight to Ascana in the name of checking up on Alana, but he actually wanted to find out what Jamarion was up to.
Jamarion invited them for a meal the day they arrived, but they didn’t see him again afterward.
Julian asked Alana about that, but Alana told him Jamarion was always busy because he was such a genius that his mentor asked him to participate in many projects.
Julian’s burden was eased and thought Jamarion had no time to get close to his daughter since he was that busy, so he went home with Emelia after a week.
