chapter 11
1249 Words
Jason Lincoln looked at Jessica Cole, who was gazing at him with affectionate eyes, then glanced at the items in front of him. In his mind flashed the tragic death Jessica Cole had suffered in his previous life—how everything had started because of things like these, until she was treated cruelly.
He had to protect her.
“Alright. How much is the total? I’ll buy all of it,” he said.
His generous attitude made Jessica Cole’s heart pound. She truly had not expected Jason Lincoln to agree so quickly to buy everything for her without hesitation.
“Yes, sir. The total is thirty thousand dollars,” the shop assistant replied.
This time Jason Lincoln paused.
He hadn’t expected the price to be so high.
But the words had already been spoken. If he hesitated now, wouldn’t that make him lose face?
He thought about it for a moment.
In any case, once the college entrance exams were over, he would start his own business during his first year at university.
Thirty thousand dollars was nothing to him.
What he didn’t know was that precisely because of these thirty thousand dollars—and his blind confidence—he would one day pay an extremely heavy price.
After leaving the luxury boutique, Jason Lincoln had not yet asked Jessica where she wanted to go next when his phone rang.
The call was from Mr. Nolan.
Jason frowned and immediately hung up.
Then he took Jessica Cole’s hand and asked, “Where do you want to go next?”
Jessica looked slightly confused.
“Jason, aren’t you going to evening study?”
He was the top student in the entire grade, a model student recognized for excellence in morality, intelligence, physical education, aesthetics, and discipline.
Skipping evening study?
That was quite interesting.
“What’s the point of going to something like that? Spending time with you is more important.”
Jessica Cole’s face flushed slightly.
Since middle school, if Jason had acted like this earlier, perhaps she wouldn’t have given her virginity to someone else.
How annoying.
She would have to spend money to fix that problem.
But if Jason Lincoln still became the top student in the college entrance exam this time, his scholarship would be at least three hundred thousand dollars, right?
In that case, fixing it wouldn’t be a big deal.
It would only cost a little money and could be done in a few days.
Perhaps…
Just imagining Jason Lincoln believing she was his first woman made the corner of Jessica Cole’s lips curl upward.
But before she could say where she wanted to go next, Jason Lincoln’s phone rang again.
It was still Mr. Nolan.
Seeing this, Jessica said sweetly,
“Jason, maybe you should answer it. I think Mr. Nolan must have something urgent to say. Maybe…” Her big eyes turned slightly, jealousy clearly visible. “Maybe Anna Nolan asked him to call you?”
The moment he heard the name Anna Nolan, Jason Lincoln seemed to have touched a forbidden nerve.
His expression immediately darkened.
“Then I definitely shouldn’t answer it!”
“She says she won’t interfere in my life anymore, but she’s the one who wants to control me the most.”
“It’s only been a few hours, and she’s already changed her attitude so quickly!”
As he spoke, Jason Lincoln hung up Mr. Nolan’s call again and immediately added the number to his blacklist.
Jessica Cole tried to stop him.
“Jason, don’t do that. No matter what, Mr. Nolan has always been very good to you. At least hear what he wants to say.”
Jessica’s instinct told her that this could finally make Anna Nolan give up completely.
Meanwhile, Mr. Nolan had ridden his bicycle to the gate of Riverdale No.1 High School and called Jason Lincoln so he could come out and pick up his dinner.
Unexpectedly, both calls were rejected.
Jason Lincoln had never talked much with him before, but he had never been this cold or indifferent.
Could it really be as Anna Nolan had said—that mother and son only treated him as free labor, simply taking advantage of him and Anna?
When he called for the third time, the call finally connected.
From the other side came Jason Lincoln’s cold and demanding voice.
“Mr. Nolan, if you have something to say, just say it directly.”
“Don’t think that just because Anna Nolan asked you to call and persuade me, I’ll give her face.”
“Tell Anna Nolan not to be so inconsistent. In life, the most important thing is honesty.”
Mr. Nolan froze.
“This afternoon she confidently said she would take responsibility and leave with me. Is this how she does it?”
“Mr. Nolan, you’ve worked hard for many years, but I’ll still say the same thing—my affairs are none of your concern.”
After saying this, Jason Lincoln was about to hang up when Mr. Nolan’s voice stopped him.
“Jason, what exactly happened between you and Anna?”
“Your uncle is standing in front of the school right now. Your mother asked me to bring dinner for you.”
“You can come out for a moment. I have a few things I want to talk about.”
Jason Lincoln was stunned.
“Wasn’t Anna Nolan the one who asked you to persuade me?”
“How could that be?” Mr. Nolan replied.
“If Anna had asked me to persuade you, she wouldn’t even refuse to bring your dinner.”
“She said she would rather feed stray cats and dogs than give it to you.”
“Jason, tell your uncle honestly. What exactly did you argue with Anna about this time?”
“The college entrance exam is coming soon. You two…”
“If she’s already said it so clearly, Mr. Nolan, isn’t that clear enough?” Jason Lincoln interrupted.
“My mother will never register a marriage with you.”
“From the bottom of her heart, she has never truly valued you.”
“The person she wants to marry is a rich man.”
“And unfortunately, in this lifetime—you are not one.”
The veins on Jason Lincoln’s forehead bulged.
Anna Nolan had even said she would rather give her cooking to stray cats and dogs than to him?
Hah.
Who cared about her cooking?
In his previous life, he had eaten it until he was sick of it.
It wasn’t that he couldn’t cook himself. It was just that ordering takeout wasn’t healthy.
But no matter what he cooked, he had never been willing to eat it.
“I’m already an adult. I don’t need an outsider like you delivering dinner to me.”
Click.
Jason Lincoln hung up and immediately blocked the number.
He was furious.
Anna Nolan was truly unbelievable.
Mr. Nolan, sitting on his bicycle, was stunned.
This sounded like a complete break in their relationship.
But why were the two children being so stubborn?
Could it really be because he wanted to be with Jason’s mother, while Anna wanted to be with Jason?
That would be terrible.
No.
He had to make sure.
He tried calling Jason Lincoln again.
But all he heard was the automated voice:
“Sorry, the number you are calling is currently busy.”
Jason Lincoln had truly blocked him.
