Chapter 156: Three Is A Crowd
"What’s going on over there, Jax? How is my girl doing?" Alex, Mari’s dad, asked Jax the moment the call connected.
"You didn’t tell me your girl was crazy and that this was going to be so so challenging," Jax complained with a groan, and Alex and his wife, who were listening in on the call laughed.
"What did she do?" Andy, Mari’s mom, asked with amusement.
"She’s stressing me out. She’s always talking crazy. She keeps calling me baby and flirting with me. I’m stressed out. She doesn’t even take me seriously. She says I’m a gentleman kidnapper," Jax said, and both parents laughed.
"Well, it’s a good thing she’s not scared of you. And she’s probably flirting with you because she’s bored and needs a distraction or maybe she just wants to get on your nerves," Andy said as she giggled.
"Well, it’s not exactly funny. She slept on my bed last night. I woke up to find her on my bed sleeping next to me," Jax revealed.
"Your bed? Did anything happen between you two?" Alex asked, his tone serious now as he exchanged a look with his wife.
"You shouldn’t ask that, Alex. Do you really want to know if something happened?" Andy asked before Jax could respond.
"Well, nothing happened. But it could have if she wasn’t your daughter. Just saying," Jax said.
"Why was she on your bed? Did she say why?" Alex asked curiously.
"Something along the lines of she dozed off while watching me sleep or something. Listen, she’s just really weird and she is a handful and she makes me very uncomfortable. Remind me again, why did you decide I was the best person to keep her safe?" Jax asked tiredly.
