Semua Bab Goodbye, Mr. Ex: I've Remarried Mr. Right: Bab 1931 - Bab 1940

"But let's be clear," Jordan added. "Don't ask too much.""You made me cry, and I can't even make a big demand? Then I'm not forgiving you," Debra huffed, turning to leave.He grabbed her arm, hesitating. "Fine, I'm in.""That's more like it." She patted his head. "I'm gonna get prepared."Jordan froze. "Prepare for what?""My big demand, duh."Her eyes sparkled with mischief, and Jordan's heart sank. He realized that she had played him once again."Debra.""What?""You..." "What're you gonna do about it?"Debra stuck out her tongue and made a face. Jordan glared, but there was nothing he could do.After school, two cars arrived at the gate.Barton stepped out and spoke to Debra. "Miss Frazier, this one is your ride.""Did Andrew send you to pick me up?" she asked, glancing at Jordan. "I can ride with Jordan." "Mr. Andrew Potter said, since you two don't get along, you'll go to school separately from now on. He'll talk to the school about putting you in different cla

In the photo, Debra's smile was as bright as ever, while Jordan stood awkwardly on the side, his eyes drifting toward her.He didn't hate Debra. He might even like her. But that liking was starting to mess with his head."Why's it gotta be you?" he muttered.He liked Debra, but he loved Andrew more.Jordan set the photo down and headed out.Debra was outside, her hand raised to knock."Ready to eat? I was just coming to get you," she said.It was her way of making nice after a fight, waiting for him to cool off before teasing him again, and that was what he liked about her."Not eating. You go ahead," Jordan said, brushing past her.He knew better than anyone that he wasn't as important to Debra as Andrew was. To her, he was just family, not someone she'd ever like that way.Jordan hesitated but made his way to Andrew's study. The door was closed. He paused, then pushed it open.Andrew was waiting, like he'd known Jordan would show up.After a moment of silence, Jordan spok

Jordan woke up with a pounding headache.He overdid it with the booze last night. Not young anymore, he couldn't drink like he used to.Glancing around, he saw everyone sprawled across the table, passed out. He chuckled.A waiter stepped in. "Sir, we've got guest rooms ready.""It's fine. Let them sleep on the floor," Jordan said, standing up.He felt his pocket and frowned. The vial was gone."If there is nothing else, I'm going back to work," the waiter said, heading to the door."Wait.""Sir?""Where are the kids?""Kids?"Jordan rubbed his temples. "I mean the two teenagers.""You mean Mr. Osborne and Miss Houston? They left last night.""Little brats."Jordan was sure now.It must be Lillian who had swiped the vial. Solomon wouldn't bother with something that dumb."Got it," Jordan said, waving the waiter off.If they left last night, they would probably have already tried the vial by now. At the end of the day, it was William's fault for bringing it in the first

If none of it made Enoch care, Randy decided to ditch it all.It didn't matter anyway.He started slacking off, ignoring rules, and causing trouble at school. The school called his parents ten times a day, but Enoch never showed up.Randy got bored and played games in class. His behavior got worse, but his grades stayed high, so teachers let it slide.He messed around on his laptop and, in elementary school, built software that earned him a few hundred grand.Enoch still didn't notice.As middle school approached, Randy met Erica at the Houston Mansion.Considering the ties between their families, Caleb took Randy under his wing.Life at the Houston house was dull, but it beat the cold Osborne home.Then Erica appeared, tall and thin. Her gaze was calm and had a sharp edge.Sensitive to that kind of vibe, Randy figured Caleb had done something to her family. A normal girl wouldn't look so intense.He just didn't get why Caleb kept her around. That was just asking for revenge

Randy stuck close to Erica, always trailing her.They ate and sparred together. He'd hide behind her, acting weak, so she'd step in to protect him.Each time Erica shielded him, she would frown. "Why are you so weak? Don't call yourself a man."Randy would grin. "I'm just too lazy to deal with them. They wouldn't stand a chance otherwise."In high school, Erica opened up. She loved standing up for the underdog and taking down bullies.Her bold, confident vibe made her a hero among the girls. Guys, though, were intimidated and kept their distance.Randy was the only guy stuck by her, like a loyal sidekick.It was a bit embarrassing, but chasing the girl he liked was worth it.Erica treated him like a little brother, always protecting him. But he didn't want to be her brother.Whenever he saw her chummy with other guys, he wanted to punch them.They didn't get Erica. They didn't know what she liked. They just wanted the connections of her family and the Houston family.Randy r
