Semua Bab You're Gonna Miss Me When I'm Gone: Bab 461 - Bab 470

Calista's eyes were bulging out of her sockets."We don't live in the stone age anymore, Mr. Lancaster. Why are you carrying keys around when everyone uses fingerprint scanners?"She wasn't certain whether Jordan was lying to her or not. Was he just exceptionally good at keeping his composure while lying through his teeth?"I'm sorry. I come from the countryside. We have to travel through mountains for hours just to get to the village fair. I haven't had the chance to experience modern gadgets. I live a more conventional lifestyle."When the elevator reached the 35th floor, Jordan started, "Ms. Everhart, about tonight …"Calista took out her phone. "I have the locksmith's number here. I'll send it to you if you need it."Jordan fell silent. Seeing that the man didn't respond, she didn't insist further. She put her phone away before exiting the elevator. He scrambled after her."It takes time for the locksmith to arrive. It's freezing outside. Why not invite me to your home for

Calista saw that he was getting serious and quickly stopped him, saying, "Mr. Lancaster, even if you're desperate, you shouldn't be having thoughts about a pregnant woman like me."Jordan didn't know what to say. He glanced at her belly, stopped his advances, and dejectedly sat down on the sofa, asking, "Is your belly still uncomfortable these days since you fell last time?"At that time, he couldn't leave, so he called an ambulance, but they said her condition wasn't serious enough to go to the hospital. Calista sensed the concern and nervousness in his tone and remained silent for a few seconds before asking, "Do you like this child?"Jordan remained silent. Compared to this child, he was more worried about Calista. Now that he was here as Jordan, it would be weird if he expressed his concern for her. However, she would surely be upset if he said he wasn't worried. Moreover, this child was his only source of support. How could he not be concerned? This was a losing situation.

Jordan's face darkened at Max's refusal to back down. He lowered his voice and said, "Max, this is a misunderstanding. I already told you on the phone that my younger brother just happened to be drinking there, and it was your people who provoked him.""My woman wouldn't have been interested in him If he were less good-looking. If he didn't show up at that bar, he wouldn't have been noticed. So, blame his bad luck on himself." It was futile to reason with such a stubborn man, so Jordan got straight to the point. "Max, my brother is still young, and this incident has had a significant impact on him psychologically. So, I hope that you and the people involved that day can apologize to my younger brother.""Aren't you the young man the Lancaster family brought back to Capeton last year?" Max squinted at Jordan. There was a sudden change in his demeanor, and he forcefully knocked all the glasses before him onto the ground.If it weren't for the fact that the table was a large ro

The soft touch of the palm against Jordan's hand caused his heart to race for a moment. He should have immediately let go, but instead of releasing her, he couldn't resist lightly squeezing it.His fingertips, calloused and rough, brushed over Calista's skin and left a tingle at the touch. The feeling coursed through his veins to his head.It felt like fireworks carrying tiny electric currents to his heart. Jordan swallowed hard, and he lowered his head to lock eyes with Calista. The atmosphere around them suddenly turned quiet, as if everyone else had disappeared.However, someone couldn't resist breaking this beautiful moment. Hector pulled Jordan's hand away, saying, "Mr. Lancaster, are you playing with marbles? You're about to rub the skin off Calista's hand. She just lost her husband, and you're taking advantage like this. That's not very kind."Hector pulled out a chair, turning the romantic scene into an action movie. After sitting down, he pushed a chair towards Cal

Calista's temper flared, and she frowned, speaking coldly, "It's normal to get close since we're all not married. How would I know if we're compatible if I don't get close to them? Mr. Lancaster, focus on running your own company. You don't need to concern yourself with my affairs, especially this matter."She tried to pull her hand forcefully from Jordan's grasp, but he held on tightly, refusing to let go no matter how much she struggled. "Let go." Calista's emotions were getting out of control. She ran her fingers through her hair, not letting Jordan see her teary eyes.Her words triggered this argument. These emotions had been building up inside her since Lucian's disappearance. For the past few months, she had lived in constant fear, unable to sleep at night.She was afraid she wouldn't find Lucian, and the thought of facing a long future alone, with no one to share her life with, was unbearable. On the other hand, she was also afraid of finding Lucian, fearing the day s
