A Contract Marriage After a ONS novel Chapter 1782

Essa was caught eating the soup by her mom. Essa's mother frowned and slapped Essa on the back of the hand. "You're stealing the soup!"

"I'm not stealing. I'm just eating my share."

"Do you think I cooked it for you?"

Essa felt that her mother must have been ensnared by Jazz.

Jazz smiled. "Mrs. Reese, let her eat. I'm full anyway. Don't waste the soup."

"Then eat up the rest. Otherwise, I have to throw it in the trash can," Essa's mother said to Essa.

Essa thought, 'She looks as if she were my

stepmother. How can she be so ruthless to her daughter?"

Essa's mother went to see Winston. Essa and Jazz were left in the ward.

Essa ignored Jazz, sitting by the window, fiddling with her phone. She was busy watching her friends' updates and the news on Twitter.

Jazz had been staring at her for half an hour Finally, he felt bored and said, "Hey, are you angry?"

Essa had no time to pay attention to him, looking at the news on Twitter and sliding her finger across her phone. She pursed her lips and chuckled while being amused by the posts.

"Hey!" Jazz was annoyed that Essa gave him the silent treatment. He threw back the covers and kicked her with his long leg.

"Talk to me!"

Essa pretended not to hear or see him. She didn't respond.

"Do you want me to call your mom?" He looked relaxed, taking out his phone.

Essa threw aside her phone. She had never seen such a despicable man before!

Essa's mother only listened to Jazz now. If he called Essa's mother, Essa would be screwed.

"What do you want?"

"Chat with me."

Essa stared at him calmly. "What do you want to chat about?"

Jazz was stumped.

He didn't know what to talk about with her. He frowned without speaking.
