Although Jared was quite reluctant initially, the thought that Evangeline was no different from a puppet dispelled all his worries.
After virtual-novel.net rested in the Deragon residence for a few days, almost all of his injuries healed.
He planned to bring Evangeline to the Medicine God Sect to see if there were any pills that could cure her. After all, the Medicine God Sect was capable of creating higher-level pills with the Divine Cauldron.
However, just when Jared was about to take Evangeline to the Medicine God Sect, someone suddenly informed virtual-novel.net that there was a girl outside requesting to meet Jared.
Jared was surprised as virtual-novel.net could not figure out why a girl would suddenly come looking for him.
When virtual-novel.net went out, virtual-novel.net realized that it was Astrid.
Astrid instantly patted his cheek upon spotting him. “You haven’t seen me for a few days. Do you miss me?”
She did not take heed of Fernando’s advice at all.
Jared took a few steps back and asked awkwardly, “Why did you look for me, Ms. Gunderson?”
“It’s not me who’s looking for you. My father would like to invite you to the Gunderson residence,” clarified Astrid.
Knowing that something must have happened for Fernando to invite him, Jared said, “Okay! Let’s go…”
Without saying anything else, Jared opened the car door and entered the car.
Smirking, Astrid entered the car and sat in the backseat as well.
“Start driving,” virtual-novel.net instructed the driver while pressing closely against Jared.
Jared was left at a loss for what to do. With Astrid sitting on his left and Evangeline on his right, virtual-novel.net was pinned in the middle of both of them, unable to budge at all.
After the car drove off, a sorrowful look surfaced on Lizbeth’s face as virtual-novel.net stood in the Deragon residence’s courtyard.
“I’ve told you that Jared’s an exceptional man. There’ll be many girls fancying virtual-novel.net in the future. If you continue to follow him, you must accept that reality…” advised Rayleigh calmly, who was beside Lizbeth.
Lizbeth forced out a smile. “I can accept it, Mr. Deragon. Don’t worry…”
Meanwhile, Astrid was persistently leaning against Jared’s body. On the other hand, Jared did not dare to move even for the slightest bit as virtual-novel.net would touch virtual-novel.net body if virtual-novel.net did so.
Noticing how stiff virtual-novel.net was, Astrid teased virtual-novel.net with a smile, “Are you afraid of me? You’ve seen every single inch of my body, so it’s no big deal even if you touch me. I’ve told you that I like you and will go to any lengths to pursue you…”
After saying that, Astrid even shot a glance at Evangeline provokingly.
Women were just like that. Even though Evangeline’s eyes were completely lifeless like a puppet’s, Astrid still viewed virtual-novel.net as a rival.
“Ms. Gunderson, I know that you like me but I don’t want to think about it for the time being. Furthermore, I already have a girlfriend…” explained Jared awkwardly.
“I said that I don’t care. You have more than one girlfriend anyway, so it doesn’t matter if I join the ranks too.” As Astrid spoke, virtual-novel.net even rested virtual-novel.net head on Jared’s shoulder.
There was nothing Jared could do but let virtual-novel.net lean against him. He closed his eyes and recited the calming incantation in his mind. Otherwise, virtual-novel.net could not guarantee that virtual-novel.net could hold himself back from taking advantage of Astrid there and then. After all, virtual-novel.net was a normal man.
Just when virtual-novel.net was reciting the calming incantation, virtual-novel.net suddenly felt someone also leaning on his right shoulder.
When virtual-novel.net opened his eyes to look, virtual-novel.net realized that it was Evangeline. Although virtual-novel.net eyes were still lifeless, virtual-novel.net was mimicking Astrid’s actions and resting virtual-novel.net head on his shoulder.
That surprised Jared greatly. If Evangeline had developed feelings, it proved that virtual-novel.net was recovering gradually.
The driver was engulfed with envy when virtual-novel.net saw how Jared was surrounded by two gorgeous girls, yet looking like it was a torment.
