Chapter 104 Lover’s Tribulation (6)
The smile appeared on the young blond woman’s face again, she stood up and approached John.
“To this day, when you saved my life, it made me feel alive again.”
“It’s like letting me find the meaning of life again, you know this Does it mean anything to me?"
John frowned and looked at her seriously.
"This is just an illusion caused by the adrenaline during recovery and has nothing to do with me."
"To be honest, I am flattered by your love for me, but I already have a sweetheart."
>As he spoke, he looked at Jack, startling someone who was eating melon on the side. Can he just look around at this time?
He immediately woke up and raised one hand to make an oath.
“Oh, yes, his college girlfriend, John is ready to propose, I can testify.”
The blond young woman forced a smile, "Okay, I wish you happiness."
John turned to leave, then turned back and comforted: "Please take care of yourself."
Leave here At the residence of a widow, Jack started the police car and prepared to return to the police station to clock out.
"I think even if you stay and comfort her, Grace will understand." Jack couldn't hold it back after all.
"Two boxes of Partagas originating from Cuba, please don't bring up this topic again." John begged.
"Well, I mean comfort in the literal sense." Jack tried to maintain his facial expression.
Unexpectedly, good old John shook his head uncharacteristically this time.
"I can't help her, no one can help her, that... uh... Denise needs to get out of the predicament on her own."
Well, John at least has a mentality now Learn entry-level cultivation.
“I hope your ‘crazy’ suitor can stop here.” Jack unknowingly planted his flag again.
After returning to the police station and clocking out, Jack excused himself to go home to get some spices and went back to finish today's treatment for Justin. Then he said hello to Chris and went to the supermarket on the way to fill the trunk.
This made him think of a question. Although his 'KITT' has a stylish shape, its trunk is not big. In this case, should he consider preparing a grocery cart, such as Chris's? That Ford Raptor seemed to be a perfect fit.
Resisting the urge to chop his hands, Jack came to John's house, took out the key from under the flowerpot, and went straight in.
John went to the hospital to pick up Jia LiSi. He went to the kitchen to work on his own. There were many people today, and there was not much space in the kitchen here, so they mainly focused on barbecue and hot pot.
Time is tight, and American-style grilled steaks and the like must be marinated a day in advance, so Jack simply makes a Northeastern barbecue, cutting large portions of beef shank and mutton into pieces, and placing them between three pieces of fine meat. Insert a piece of fat into the skewer in order, and brush with a bunch of seasonings such as salt, pepper, light soy sauce, ginger powder, minced garlic, oyster sauce, etc.
Hot pot is simpler, just cook the ready-made base ingredients, and the most time-consuming thing is to clean the ingredients that need to be put into the pot.
The party was held in the backyard of John's house, next to the swimming pool. Jack thought about it and decided to move the barbecue grill slightly to the side. Last time, an unlucky guy was bled to death there. The most time-consuming thing was to remove the blood from the pig brain flowers, which Jack prepared for himself. Considering that no one here would be able to accept this thing, he only bought two pairs, one for roasting in tin foil and one for hot pot.
John was startled when he walked in with his arms around Jia LiSi, thinking that there was a zombie crisis, but Jia LiSi was eager to try it and told Jack to let her try it once he was ready.
As the night got darker, people from all walks of life arrived after get off work. Wesley brought a full six bottles of wine and a whole box of champagne. It is said that they were all his friends who had just returned from vacation in France. Mom, I personally selected the best quality goods at a certain winery.
Tim moved a box of Budweiser to complete the evening's alcoholic beverages. Jack also mixed some extra juices with sour plum powder, aloe vera, cactus and watermelon, which were used to reduce the heat when eating barbecue and hot pot, so as not to cause someone to lose weight. Several middle-aged people were recruited again.
John went to light the fire and light the charcoal for the barbecue, while the others opened the wine, set up the tables, chairs and put the dishes. We all had dinner together many times. Everyone was familiar with each other and each had their own division of labor.
At this time, the doorbell rang again. Jack, who was bored enough to carve shapes on the fruit plate, ran to open the door. His eyes lit up. Two beauties, Zoe and Maureen, were wearing professional one-step skirts with similar styles. One in white stockings and one in black stockings appeared at the door.
Jack couldn't help but want to reach out, but only after being stared at by the two men did he realize that this was not his home. He scratched the back of his head in embarrassment and was about to welcome them in. At this time, there was a soft cry from behind. Only then did I realize that someone else was walking not far away.
Seeing the three people behind him, Jack was immediately numb. He was not surprised that Taylor was holding the little beauty Kara. Kara made a date casually when they met this afternoon. Taylor was either Zoe or Maureen. , the problem is that there is another one next to them, the young blonde woman Denise.
Good guy, he had been worrying all day in vain. He didn't expect that his small Shura field was nothing at all. Co-writing John's side was the highlight. He didn't know if the watermelon he bought today was enough for everyone to share.
Tyler and Carla were still a little confused. Seeing Jack’s surprised look, Taylor took the initiative to introduce: "I just drove to pick up Carla and met Denise at the intersection. She said she wanted to come and thank John. I saved her life today, so I..."
After all, the owner of the house is John, and Jack can't evict people directly. He can only helplessly invite people into the house. To be honest, he is also looking forward to it. John saw the visitor's expression.
“This woman is crazy.” Everyone around Jack listened to him tell what happened, and Tim stated his point of view directly.
“So I have a love rival on Valentine’s Day?”
Jialisi's mentality was surprisingly good. She had no consciousness of the parties involved and happily ate melon with everyone.
Maureen directly gave her professional opinion: "Poor woman, she just wants to use John to forget the pain of losing her husband. She has a somewhat paranoid personality. At the same time, she may lack the company of relatives around her and crave psychological comfort."
< br> "Is it like I liked running to the police station before? During that time, I only felt safe when I saw Jack and Hannah, but why did she like John instead of Jack? They were obviously rescued together. Did you kill her?”
Kara, who had long since regained her innocence, raised her hand to ask.
"Probably because it was John who performed CPR on her. When she woke up from a near-death state, the first thing she saw was him. It's a bit like the suspension bridge effect. Am I right, professor? ?" Jack acted like a good student.
"You did a good job, you are really a good student of mine." Maureen rolled her eyes at him with a bit of teasing in her eyes.
"Professor Cahill, I think Denise needs psychological counseling. Do you have time recently?"
John squeezed into the circle and looked at Grace nervously. , turned to Maureen for help.
