Chapter 112: Mission accomplished
The next day, Jeslyn went to the cinema with Valen. The day had no drama like yesterday. The two of them plus Pink and Blue had a great time because Jeslyn didn’t exclude them from the fun. I mean, she has the money now, so why not.
Last night, she asked Maverick about the card and he replied: "I didn’t pay your dowry." Meaning if it was her dowry. What a lovely man.
While watching the movie, Jeslyn excused herself to use the restroom. Just when she entered the cubicle, she heard the main door slam shut. She didn’t freak out because it was the lady’s room.
After a while, Jeslyn came out of the cubicle to wash her hands in the sink. While doing so, she raised her head to look at the mirror and was almost frightened out of her mind.
Resting lazily on a cubicle with hands folded on his chest was...Ray.
"So it’s true, you are alive." He stood upright and started walking towards Jeslyn.
Jeslyn didn’t bother to pretend because she knew it would be futile and time-consuming. "So what if you know?" She asked as she stared daggers at him.
"I have been searching everywhere for you. I– I thought you were really gone. It drove me crazy and–"
"If I understand what you are saying, It means, you care?" Seeing him silent, Jeslyn snorted and decided it was time to leave.
As she walked past him, Ray grabbed her wrist and stopped her without looking at her. "I’m sorry, Jeslyn. I was wrong." He confessed.
Ray waited for a while. Still not hearing her say anything, he turned and pulled her closer with a small distance between them.
