Of course, Jason hadn't done that on purpose. When he saw that the grape he casually threw had actually ended up at such a place, his eyes went wide, and he stared at her breasts.
Meanwhile, Helen was entirely infuriated at that moment. "How dare you stare at me? I'll kill you!" she roared at him.
"No, no, it wasn't deliberate on my part," Jason hurriedly explained, afraid that she would again throw things at him. "I didn't mean to stare at that part or to perve on you. I was just wondering how it got there and even became wedged in there. Now, I suddenly think that the grape was no ordinary grape!"
Hearing that, Helen was gripped by the urge to rip the man before her into shreds. In the next moment, she grabbed the fruits in the fruit basket
and hurled them at him by the handful.
All at once, exasperation swamped Jason. He had obviously realized that he had misspoken earlier, but it was now too late, and he could only block them off with the pillow.
"I-I'm sorry! Stop launching fruits at me. L-Let's just talk things through. Ahh! It hurts! Ow! Ouch!" Nevertheless, Helen paid Jason's cries no heed, merely indiscriminately lobbing fruits at him.
At long last, there were no longer any fruits left in the fruit basket. Only then did she stop in a fit of pique.
"You've gone too far, Helen. Hurry up and apologize to Jason." Hannah had been helplessly watching several fruits hit Jason, and an apple even hit him on the head, making her suck in a breath.
"Did you hear that, Helen Young? Apologize to me! Did you have to throw such a huge tantrum when I merely came in without knocking? You acted as though I've committed a grievous crime!" Jason snapped angrily, making it clear as day that he was very much chagrined by Helen's hurling fruits at him.
He had long since wanted to lambast her, but she still had weapons in hand, so he didn't dare do anything rash.
