“But I didn’t have feelings for him. Even though he’s very outstanding, I was not willing to marry a stranger.
“He was the one who exchanged the condition for my brother’s surgery. That’s why I agreed to register our marriage.”
Jennie didn’t want to talk about it.
But she didn’t want Madam Manoban to think that she was the one who got Lisa to register their marriage.
Lisa was the one who suggested the marriage certificate.
Back then, she wasn’t willing.
Why did she have to bear the responsibility of “lying”?
She wanted Madam Manoban to know about this.
She didn’t coax Lisa into marriage. It was he who forced her to marry him in exchange for the surgery.
“W-What did you say?” Madam Manoban furrowed her brows and looked shocked.
In her heart, her son was the best in the world.
Only women would harass her son and seduce him.
How could her son pester a woman?
She’d long believed that Jennie had tricked her son into registering for the marriage.
Hence, Jennie’s words really shocked her.
“Mom, I just wanted to tell you that Lisa was the one who initiated the marriage. I didn’t lie to him, nor did I force him to do it. I didn’t play tricks just because I was afraid you wouldn’t agree to it.
“If it wasn’t for the fact that I needed him to perform the surgery for my brother, I wouldn’t have had any contact with him, much less marry him.
“I know that no matter what I say, it won’t change my impression of you. But I still want to clarify things. Whether you believe me or not isn’t something I can control.”
Madam Manoban looked at her in shock and kept quiet for a while before sneering. “So, Lisa was the one clinging onto you and insisting on marrying you?”
Jennie hesitated for a while before nodding honestly. “Mm, it was like that back then.”
If it wasn’t for Hanbin’s surgery.
She would never marry Lisa.
No matter how outstanding and attractive he was, he was just a stranger to her.
No woman would want to marry a stranger.
After all, marriage was a huge matter.
“You…” Madam Manoban didn’t expect such an answer.
How could there be such a shameless woman?
She actually nodded!
Why was she so thick-skinned?
What sort of person was her son to cling to a little girl like her?
“Mom, when I married him back then, we both had our own needs. I needed him to perform the surgery for Hanbin, but he saw how special I was to him, so we hit it off. If you wanted me to divorce him at that time, I would’ve agreed without hesitation.
“But I like him a lot now.” Jennie smiled as if she didn’t see Madam Manoban’s expression getting darker. “So, I can’t agree to leave him.”
“You…”
Madam Manoban felt that she had never seen such a shameless woman.
She was so angry that her fingers were shaking as she reached for the coffee cup on the table. “I’m trying to talk you out of it, but you won’t listen. Do you really want me to hit you? Jennie, let me ask you one last time, are you going to divorce Lisa?”
“If you agree to the divorce, I won’t mistreat you. Don’t you like acting? How about I make you an A-list actress? I can make you popular in the entertainment industry. I can give you whatever resources you want.
“Not only that, but I’ll also give you money, a house, a car, and jewelry. I can guarantee that you won’t have to worry about food and clothing for the rest of your life. As for your younger brother’s surgery, I can get the best specialist in the world to do it for him.
“Or if you still want to get married, I can help you pick a young talent in the upper-class society. Even if that man isn’t as outstanding as Lisa, he’s definitely a dragon among men.”
At this point, Madam Manoban felt that her conditions were good enough.
If Jennie still didn’t agree, then she really didn’t know how to appreciate favors.
She wouldn’t mind teaching her a lesson.
“These conditions are already generous enough. I’m giving you preferential treatment only because you’ve been with my son for a while. Jennie, you have to be sensible. If you reject me again, you’ll really anger me.”
Madam Manoban sounded threatening. “Do you think it’s difficult to deal with a little girl like you? Even Lisa can’t stop me if I want to deal with you.”
For some reason, Jennie felt like laughing.
She was furious at first.
But now, she just found it funny.
She smiled and said, “Mom, these conditions are not enough to move me. Lisa will give me everything you promised, and even more.
“I really can’t think of any reason to divorce him.”
Madam Manoban was stunned and asked with a darkened expression, “Then, what exactly do you want to do to leave Lisa? Jennie, are you trying to make things difficult for me?”
Jennie smiled again. “If you can satisfy one condition of mine, I can consider divorcing him?”
“What?”
“Give me 10 billion. I believe this amount of money is nothing to the Manoban family. So, if Mom can give me 10 billion, I will consider the divorce.”
“What did you say?” Madam Manoban widened her eyes in disbelief.
Jennie smiled and repeated her words.
This time, Madam Manoban heard it clearly.
Her expression was awful. “10 billion? You’re too greedy. What makes you think you’re worth 10 billion?”
The Manoban family could afford 10 billion.
But this was the first time Madam Manoban met a girl like Jennie.
She actually dared to ask for 10 billion.
Why would she do that!
Her original plan was to give Jennie a few hundred million.
This amount of money was enough for her to live a good life.
But she didn’t expect her appetite to be so huge.
Moreover, although she never lacked money, she couldn’t just casually fork out 10 billion.
“Mom, it’s not that I think I’m worth 10 billion, but your son is worth 10 billion. Didn’t you want me to divorce him? I’ve already stated my condition. As long as you can do it, I’ll divorce him.
“Isn’t your son’s freedom worth 10 billion?”
Madam Manoban was speechless.
She was too angry to speak.
How could there be such a shameless woman!!
What kind of woman did her son marry!
Jennie saw that Madam Manoban was so angry that her chest was shaking. She didn’t feel guilty at all. Instead, she felt a little better.
She wasn’t a good person, to begin with.
If others treated her well, she would treat them well too.
But if others didn’t treat her well, she didn’t have to be so nice to them.
No matter what she did, Madam Manoban wouldn’t like her.
She even threatened her to divorce Lisa. She didn’t want to respect such a mother-in-law anymore.
Didn’t he want her to divorce Lisa?
In that case, she’d just ask for too much.
She knew that Madam Manoban wouldn’t agree to it. She was just trying to spite her.
As expected, Madam Manoban turned green with anger when she heard her condition.
Didn’t she say she was doing it for Lisa’s money?
Then, she’d just be a woman who only cared about money.
“Mom, think about it.” Jennie pressed the service bell on the table, and a waiter soon came over.
After asking for the bill, she took out the black card that Lisa had given her and handed it to the waiter under Madam Manoban’s angry gaze. She then smiled and said to Madam Manoban, “You’ve come all the way here, I’ll treat you to the coffee. I still have some matters to attend to, so I won’t stay with you any longer. Please consider my conditions carefully. I hope you can give me an answer as soon as possible because I might change my mind after today.”
With that, she didn’t care about Madam Manoban’s reaction and left with her bag.
** *
They left the cafe.
Jennie looked at the time and was about to return to the hotel room to read the script.
She had just pressed the button when her cell phone rang.
She looked down and saw that Lisa had sent her a WeChat message.
When he got off the plane, he sent her a WeChat message to inform her that he was safe and asked her what she was doing.
Jennie opened her WeChat and was about to reply to him.
Just as she typed two words, a thought popped up in her mind and she deleted them.
When the elevator reached her floor, she didn’t walk out but pressed the first floor again.
An hour later.
City F.
Jennie boarded the plane. After finding her seat, she sat down and took out her cell phone to reply to Lisa’s message.
Jennie: [Are you going straight to the office or home?]
Lisa replied instantly: [I’m going to the office first. I’ve wasted some time yesterday and today, so I have to go take a look.]
Jennie: [Oh.]
Lisa quickly replied: [I still owe you a plate of sweet and sour spare ribs. I’ll make it for you the next time I visit.]
Jennie smiled when she saw his reply.
He was still thinking about the sweet and sour spare ribs.
She almost forgot.
Actually, she was just saying that she wanted to eat it.
And to make things difficult for him.
She didn’t expect him to remember it.
She thought for a while and replied: [It’s better not to wait for the next time. I really want to eat tonight.]
Lisa: [Baby, I’m afraid I can’t tonight.]
Jennie wanted to give him a surprise.
Hence, she didn’t intend to tell him that she was on a flight to Yuncheng City.
She thought for a while and finally replied: [Alright, then let’s wait for the next time. I’m entering the elevator now, we’ll talk later.]
After replying, the sweet voice of the air stewardess could be heard on the radio, reminding the passengers that the plane was about to take off and that all their electronic devices were turned off.
Jennie turned off her cell phone and prepared to take a nap.
Just as she closed her eyes, she heard a surprised voice. “Jennie?”
Jennie was speechless.
She opened her eyes and saw Mino looking at her in shock.
She was shocked too.
She never expected to meet Mino here.
She’d decided to fly back to Yuncheng City today.
“It’s really you.” Mino’s heart skipped a beat when he saw her eyes.
He looked away unnaturally and walked past her.
Jennie was speechless.
No way.
Mino was sitting beside her?
This was too much of a coincidence.
Then, she saw Mino really walk over to sit beside her.
Jennie was speechless.
After he sat down, he turned to look at her. He hesitated for a while before saying, “Aren’t you filming? Why are you on this flight? You’re not filming anymore?”
Jennie was speechless.
Although her impression of Mino wasn’t that bad now, and she felt that he wasn’t that detestable anymore.
But Mino still felt like a stranger to her.
She couldn’t forget all the unhappiness from their first meeting.
And the few times he targeted her…
She didn’t like this man at all.
Hence, when Mino spoke to her, she didn’t really want to talk to him.
But thinking about how he helped her clear her name on Weibo previously, she hesitated for a while before replying, “I don’t have a shot today, so I’m on vacation.”
“I see.” Mino nodded and turned around.
Jennie heaved a sigh of relief when she realized that he wasn’t going to continue chatting with her.
She really didn’t want to continue chatting with him.
It seemed like they weren’t close enough to chat.
She turned around and took out the eye mask from her bag. Just as she was about to put it on, the man beside her said, “Your ex-fiancé… is still harassing you? The one I saw on the streets.”
Jennie was speechless.
She didn’t want to bother about it.
But Mino continued, “A good man doesn’t like to be turned back. That man doesn’t look reliable at all. Don’t be fooled by his sweet words. I even saw him having a meal with a woman yesterday. They looked really intimate.
“He’s dating another woman while trying to get back together with you. Do you think he’s a true man?”
Jennie was speechless.
Kai was on a date with another woman?
Alright, even though she already knew that Kai wasn’t a good person, she didn’t feel anything but disgust towards him.
But at this moment, she was even more disgusted by the jerk.
He even begged her to get back together with him on the streets that day.
And he went on a date with another woman so soon?
Every time she realized how much of a jerk Kai was, she would seriously doubt her judgment.
After all, she used to think that Kai was a reliable and honest man.
He was different from other playboys.
He was a rich second-generation heir.
But reality gave her a tight slap.
Mino didn’t hear any response from Jennie and turned to look at her.
The girl had a beautiful face.
Her side profile was naturally beautiful.
Mino was so close to her that he could see the arc of her eyelashes.
Her long and curly eyelashes were so beautiful that it looked as if they had been peeled off from a doll’s eyes.
He’d never seen a woman with skin as good as Jennie’s.
Her skin was so fair that it was practically glowing.
With Mino’s status, there was no lack of beauties around him.
He grew up with them.
But he had to admit that he’d been stunned by this girl before.
He finally understood why a blockhead like Lisa would fall for her.
A sweet scent wafted to his nose from time to time.
The familiar scent reminded him of that night 10 years ago.
“Can I ask you a question?” He couldn’t help but ask.
Recently, he felt an inexplicable sense of anxiety.
He didn’t know why he was so anxious.
He was anxious to know if he’d made a mistake on that night 10 years ago.
But the more he wanted to confirm and find out the truth, the more he couldn’t.
Jennie didn’t want to bother about him.
Even though he’d helped her once, he was still on Krystal’s side and had a good relationship with her.
Jennie didn’t want to interact too much with such people.
But it didn’t seem right for her to ignore him when he kept talking to her.
She still replied, “What?”
“Did you attend any banquets when you were young?”
Jennie was stunned.
Was this what he wanted to ask?
Of course, she had attended a banquet.
Although the Kwon family wasn’t rich, they were still much better than the ordinary people in their decline.
She attended all sorts of banquets.
As the First Miss of the Kwon family, Father Kwon would always bring her along.
Although she felt that Mino’s question was a little strange, she still replied, “Mm, of course.”
Mino kept quiet for a while before asking, “… Have you attended the Song family’s banquet?”
“Song family?”
Jennie turned to look at him strangely.
Mino looked at her and nodded. “Yes. Have you attended the Song family’s banquet? About 10 years ago.
“Do you remember?”
He felt that Jennie should remember it.
Ten years ago, she was almost 10 years old.
She wasn’t too young.
Jennie couldn’t help but ask, “Mr. Song, what exactly do you want to ask?”
He first asked if she attended the banquet, and then asked if she attended the Song family’s banquet.
What was he trying to do?
“Answer me first.” Mino clenched his fists. This was the first time he felt so nervous.
He looked at Jennie steadily. “Think about it carefully. Ten years ago, you were about 10 years old. Did you attend the Song family’s banquet? It was in the summer.”
Jennie was speechless.
Her memory wasn’t very good.
She couldn’t remember many things from 10 years ago.
She really wanted to say that she didn’t remember.
But she could feel that this was very important to Mino.
Hence, she thought for a while before replying, “I might not be able to answer you. 10 years ago, I was in a car accident, and I’ve forgotten some things from back then. I don’t remember attending the banquet you mentioned.”
Mino waited anxiously for her reply.
But when he heard her reply, the anticipation in his eyes turned into disappointment.
She… didn’t remember?
How could it be such a coincidence?
That year, she got into a car accident and forgot about that year.
Just as he was feeling disappointed and down, a glimmer of hope lit up in his eyes.
“What about your parents? You definitely didn’t attend the banquet alone. You don’t remember what happened back then, but they should remember, right?”
Jennie was stunned for a few seconds before nodding slowly. “They should remember.”
“Could you ask them if they brought you to the Song family’s banquet?”
He didn’t know what was wrong with him.
It was Krystal that night.
Krystal didn’t have to lie to him.
But he suddenly felt that the person that night was someone else.
Just because of Jennie’s familiar scent, he actually wondered if she was the girl who saved him that night.
He was starting to suspect Krystal.
And the person he trusted the most in the past was Krystal.
When did he stop trusting her?
Perhaps it was from the moment he realized that Krystal had changed.
At that moment, she felt so foreign to him.
Jennie kept quiet and didn’t answer him immediately.
Previously, she fought with Father Kwon because Nancy wanted to move into Mother Kwon’s bedroom.
The father and daughter had never contacted each other after that.
Seeing that she was silent, Mino immediately asked, “What is it?”
“It’s not impossible…” Jennie hesitated for a while before saying with a frown,” Mr. Gong, why don’t you ask my dad directly about this? I haven’t contacted him in a while.
“You can ask him directly.”
Mino was a smart person.
He immediately understood what she meant.
“Alright, I got it.” He didn’t ask further, but his gaze was still on Jennie. He kept quiet for a while before asking hesitantly, “Then, can you tell me if you can swim?”
Jennie replied, “… Yes.”
“Mm.” Mino nodded again.
Jennie couldn’t take it anymore.
“Mr. Song, can I know what you’re trying to ask? Did I attend the Song family’s banquet 10 years ago? Does my ability to swim have anything to do with it?”
Otherwise, why would he suddenly ask about this?
Jennie felt like he was investigating something.
But what exactly did it have to do with her about a matter from 10 years ago?
She was really curious.
“Mm, it has something to do with it. It’s very important to me, so I want to know the truth. But before I find out the truth, I’m sorry, but I can’t tell you about it.”
“Alright.”
Jennie knew better than to ask.
“Mr. Song, are you done?” Jennie picked up the blindfold again. “If there’s nothing else, I’d like to sleep for a while.”
She was holding a pink cartoon eye mask.
It looked so cute.
Mino thought that he must have gone crazy because he asked, “Where did you get that eye mask? It’s pretty cute, I want one too.”
He wanted to slap himself.
Damn, retard!
Why did he ask such a stupid question?
What was he thinking?
Jennie’s hand trembled as well.
Why did she feel like Mino was acting weird today?
He was completely different from the person she knew.
She felt that she was more used to his cold self.
At least, she would think that he was normal.
But now…
It was scary.
“This eye mask… I bought it on Taobao. I can buy three for 10 yuan.” Jennie thought for a while and reached into her bag.
After a while, Mino saw her take out a new eye mask from her bag.
It was also pink, but it was a bunny’s cartoon eye mask.
She handed the bunny eye mask to him and said shyly, “If Mr. Song likes it, I’ll give you one. Just take it as…”
Jennie stopped mid-sentence.
She wanted to say it as repayment for helping her.
But after thinking about it, she felt that it was a little insulting for her to use a 10 yuan eye mask for Mino’s help.
People like them couldn’t even be bothered to look at others even if they begged for help.
After all, they were all rich and powerful.
He was willing to help because of their friendship.
Her ten yuan eye mask… was too shabby.
Just as she was starting to regret it and was about to take the blindfold back, Mino suddenly reached out and took it away before she could react.
Jennie was speechless.
Wasn’t this too fast?
“Mr. Song, you…” Before she could retract her hand, the eye mask was gone.
“Ahem.” Mino also felt that his actions didn’t match his identity. He covered his mouth and coughed twice before turning around to put the little bunny eye mask on.
“I happen to need an eye mask. Although it’s a little feminine, it can still be used. Erm… thank you.”
Jennie was speechless.
She sounded as if she was forcing him to use it.
He was the one who snatched it just now.
Forget it, she couldn’t be bothered to argue with him.
It was only 10 yuan, so she didn’t feel bad giving it away.
Jennie was a little sleepy too.
She stayed up late with Lisa last night and woke up early in the morning. She didn’t have enough sleep.
She closed her eyes and put on the blindfold before turning around and falling asleep with her back facing Mino.
She was really sleepy.
Soon, she fell asleep.
Meanwhile, Mino wasn’t sleepy at all.
The rabbit’s eye mask was stained with the girl’s sweet scent, and it would enter his nose from time to time.
It was as if a kitten was scratching his heart.
It tickled his heart.
He finally understood why everyone said girls were fragrant.
He had many women around him, but he didn’t like their perfume.
It felt a little pungent.
But the sweet scent on Jennie didn’t make him feel uncomfortable or sick of it. He liked it.
It was faint.
He remembered this sweet scent for 10 years.
Even though it had been so many years, he could immediately remember it once he smelled it.
He suddenly recalled that he’d asked Krystal before.
Why didn’t she use this perfume anymore?
Krystal’s answer was that she didn’t like that smell anymore.
Then, the perfume stopped production.
He’d asked Krystal what brand of perfume it was and thought that he could get a bottle.
He really liked that sweet scent.
How did Krystal answer him?
She seemed to be referring to the perfume she picked when she was overseas. She had forgotten the brand.
After that, he never asked her again.
Although it was a pity that he couldn’t find that perfume, he felt that it wasn’t important.
The person with the perfume was right by his side. Nothing else mattered.
Until he smelled it again.
Until he realized that Krystal might have lied to him.
If that perfume had stopped production long ago.
How could he smell it on Jennie?
If it hadn’t stopped production yet, why would Krystal lie to him?
There were too many questions in his heart, and he desperately wanted an answer.
He felt like he was getting closer to the truth …
…
Mino had a very short dream.
He dreamt about that night 10 years ago.
In his dream, he fell into the pool. He choked on the water because he couldn’t swim, and his body sank bit by bit uncontrollably.
The water seeped into his nose.
He found it hard to breathe.
He struggled in the water and called for help.
But there was only silence.
Besides his cry for help, he couldn’t hear anything else.
No one heard his repeated calls for help.
The air in his chest was getting thinner and thinner. The darkness was approaching him, and he was gradually unable to make a sound.
Even though he knew that he was dreaming, Mino was still afraid.
The fear of death made him uncontrollably afraid.
He wanted to call for help, but he couldn’t make a sound.
Help, who could save him?
He really didn’t want to die.
Tears rolled down his face. He could feel death approaching.
Just as he was about to die from despair, a white light lit up in the darkness.
He opened his eyes and saw someone swimming towards him.
He couldn’t see what that person looked like.
She was wearing a white dress, and her hair was very long. When it swayed in the water, it looked like seaweed.
Mino couldn’t help but reach out to her.
Soon, a soft hand grabbed him and brought him to her side.
Instinctively, he wrapped his arms around her tightly.
He could smell a sweet scent on her.
It smelled like flowers and fruit.
As she lifted him out of the water and swam towards the shore, he vaguely heard the girl say something to him.
She said, “Don’t worry, I’ll save you. You’ll be fine.”
Perhaps it was because of this sentence that he felt at ease.
Then, he allowed himself to fall unconscious.
When he opened his eyes again, he saw Krystal squatting beside him.
Seeing that he was awake, Krystal’s tears fell. She grabbed his hand tightly and cried out.
She said: Mino, you’re finally awake.
She even said: I’m so afraid, so afraid that I’ll lose you.
He was a little confused and stared at her for a while. That white figure flashed across his mind and he asked hoarsely, “Krystal, did you save me?”
Krystal didn’t answer him immediately.
It was the people around him who answered him first.
At that moment, he felt that Krystal was an angel.
She was the girl he should take good care of for the rest of his life.
This dream was very short.
Soon, Mino woke up.
He took off his eye mask and looked at the time. It had only been half an hour since he fell asleep.
The plane was still flying through the clouds.
The surroundings were very quiet. Occasionally, the sound of a passenger flipping through a magazine would sound.
Mino was in a daze as he recalled the dream. He was stunned for a while before coming back to his senses.
Everything in the dream felt real.
It was so real that he felt like he was experiencing the fear of drowning again.
In his dream, he could still feel the fear and despair.
But the girl swimming towards him from the white light gave him hope and courage.
He couldn’t describe what it felt like.
Perhaps in other people’s eyes, just because someone saved his life, he developed feelings for them. This couldn’t be called true love.
He was grateful.
But he knew it best.
It wasn’t a lie.
Everyone had their own way of loving. To him, the moment he was moved was love.
But one thing puzzled him.
That night, he felt that he was attracted to Krystal.
But it was only that night.
After that, he fulfilled his promise and treated her well. He doted on her and treated her as the most important woman.
His buddies all felt that he loved Krystal too much.
Even he felt the same way.
But after that night, when he saw Krystal again, he no longer felt that way.
He was puzzled.
How could he not be attracted to her anymore?
He’d once doubted his feelings for Krystal. Did he really like her?
Mino turned around and saw that Jennie was still sleeping soundly. He narrowed his eyes and had a complicated look.
He couldn’t find anything from Krystal, but he found something from Jennie.
He didn’t believe in such coincidences.
In his opinion, there were very few coincidences. If one found too many coincidences, perhaps everything was never a coincidence, to begin with.
That incident 10 years ago.
He had to find out…
…
Three hours later.
The plane landed at Yuncheng City Airport on time.
Jennie woke up on time.
She took off her eye mask and rubbed her eyes. She felt much better after a nap.
She received a few WeChat messages from Lisa and two missed calls.
Jennie opened WeChat and saw that Lisa had sent her three messages.
Lisa: [Honey, I’m at the office.]
Lisa: [Honey, I have a meeting.]
Lisa: [Honey, I just finished my meeting. Why aren’t you replying to me, what are you doing?]
The two missed calls were from Rosé.
Jennie thought for a while and sent Rosé a message: [Rosé, what’s the matter? I just landed.]
She waited for a while, but Rosé didn’t reply.
Just as she was about to reply to Lisa on WeChat, she felt a cold gaze on her.
She looked up and saw Mino standing beside her with a dark expression. He seemed to have shifted his gaze away from her cell phone.
Jennie thought that he was unhappy because she was in his way.
She immediately stepped aside and gave up her spot.
Unexpectedly, her actions made Mino’s expression turn even uglier. It was as if she’d done something to anger him, and his previously gloomy expression instantly turned into a five-fold one.
Jennie was speechless.
She didn’t know what she’d done wrong.
Didn’t she already give up her seat?
Why did this man look even worse?
But she didn’t think too much about it.
In her opinion, Mino was a volatile person, to begin with. He was so nice and easy-going previously.
It was as if his personality had changed.
In the blink of an eye, he returned to his familiar self.
But she hadn’t intended to befriend him, so she didn’t feel much about his sudden change in attitude.
Jennie didn’t bother about him anymore. She picked up her bag and got off the plane with the other passengers.
Mino stood rooted to the ground.
Seeing her petite figure being squeezed into the crowd and quickly disappearing from his sight, his expression darkened.
Recalling the message he saw on her cell phone, he felt uncomfortable.
Even though it was a normal message.
…
Jennie got off the plane and followed the crowd to the ferry.
After taking a few steps, she heard a cautious and uncertain voice behind her. “Hello, are you… Jennie?”
It was a young girl’s voice.
Jennie turned around in surprise and saw a youthful face.
Behind her stood a little girl of about 16 or 17 years old. She had two ponytails, and her face was a little chubby. When she smiled, her face was full of collagen, and she looked especially cute.
Jennie stared at the girl for a few seconds and confirmed that she didn’t know her.
She was puzzled. “You are?”
“Are you Jennie?” The girl ignored her question and asked again. Her round eyes scanned her from head to toe.
