"It's not about money. It's about integrity. I've promised him and signed the contract. I cannot break my promise." The sincere smile of the advertiser flashed through June's mind. She couldn't let him down.
Jonas was somehow impressed by June.
"Fine. You can make two requirements. Apart from the previous one, what else do you have?" Jonas looked up at her and asked.
"I haven't thought about it yet. Right now, all I have in mind is work," June whispered.
"If you insist, you must make something out of yourself, or you may ruin my reputation. I will have you professionally trained. I married you because I don't want to be taken as a weirdo, not because I have interest in women," Jonas said coldly.
"So you like men?" June looked up and made bold to ask.
Jonas was choked.
June soon sensed danger. Out of fear, she held up her hand and swore, "I swear to God that I will never tell your secret to others, not even when I'm threatened with death."
Looking at her serious looks, Jonas somehow wanted to pinch her cheeks. The woman was just unbelievable. Why did he have to like men if he was not interested in women?
"Yes, I do. Mind your own business. Don't fall in love with me." Jonas reached out and pinched her boob before turning around and leaving.
June looked at the boob pinched by him and got dumbstruck for quite a few while.
Jonas liked men. Then everything was self—explained.
June got relieved. Jonas was not as scary as he looked. But why did he like men? The young hunk or the sexy middle—aged?
A wonderful world was just unfolding. June became curious: who could Jonas' partner be.
A few hours later, Bella and Ben arrived at the airport. After getting out of the airport, they found a black minivan waiting for them.
"Are you tired?" Looking at Bella's tired complexion, Ben asked gently.
Bella was too tired to put on an easy look. She nodded, "Yes. I didn't sleep well last night."
"Why?" Ben found her cute. She was like a kitten asking favor. "Because I was both nervous and excited to meet your parents. I just couldn't fall asleep." Bella smiled helplessly. She must be a coward; otherwise she wouldn't be awake until dawn. "Sorry to hear that. Take a nap. There's still more than an hour before we get to my house." Ben gently stroked her long hair, drawing Bella closer to him.
Bella felt safe with Ben. She leaned against him, enjoyed the fresh smell from him, and had a sound sleep.
When Bella was asleep, she had a dream. In the dream, Ben held her gently and walked in a garden full of flowers. The dream was so romantic that she didn't want to wake up.
Then she recalled that she needed to meet Ben's parents. She had to wake herself up.
