Chapter 643
Jenny said, "I've made it through the interview, Rowan."
Rowan hummed gently and said, "Congratulations."Content © provided by NôvelDrama.Org.
"D-Don't you have anything else to say to me? Tonight, let's celebrate this together. I'll make dinner," suggested Jenny.
"You should celebrate with your friends. I've got a dinner party to go to. The renovations on your house are completed. I've dealt with the smell, so you can move in immediately. I'll send a moving company over to assist you. Alright, I've got a task on hand. I'll hang up now," said Rowan succinctly. He hung up before Jenny could get a word in sideways.
Jenny stared at her phone, lost in thought.
Was he chasing her away?
How could Rowan be so heartless and uncaring? Why wasn't he pampering her like he used to?
She felt as though something was pressing down on her chest. Jenny had a feeling that they would be drifting apart.
Jenny paled. She texted Rowan and asked, "Rowan, are you going to keep me at arm's length too?
After graduating from university, she could live with the fact that her friends were all heading to different places. However, she couldn't stand having a man she'd known for such a long time distancing himself from her especially because he had shifted his love for her onto another woman. Unexpectedly, the message elicited no response. Jenny had no idea whether Rowan had read it and refused to reply, or if he had not seen it at all. Perhaps he'd seen it but was too busy to offer a response.
When Jenny returned to Rowan's house, it was pitch black. Even when she switched on the lights, she saw nothing of note.
Rowan wasn't home, nor had he come home.
Yesterday, he'd made dinner for her at home. Although he had no idea how to cook, he whipped something up for her. Although it looked horrible, she could feel Rowan's concern and love for her.
Why had Rowan changed at the drop of a coin?
An hour later, Jenny lay in bed as her thoughts spiraled.
While talking to her friend, she swiped through Instagram. Suddenly, she saw Rowan's story-he had only posted it a few minutes earlier.
Her face paled and she sat up straight in bed.
Rowan had gotten engaged. He'd been busy because he'd gone back home to get engaged. His fiancée was a woman from a wealthy background. They were perfect fit for each other.
Suddenly, Jenny found it hard to breathe.
This explaiend why he'd asked her to move out tomorrow. He'd gotten engaged and wanted to draw boundaries with her.
Not long ago, he'd visited her in
Korel City. He said he'd waited for her for years just to be together. The second she nodded, he would
ensure the women around his ne
disappeared. He was only putting on an act with them to make her jealous.
Jenny knew that Rowan wasn't lying about it then. He had been telling the truth. But now...
Jenny immediately called Rowan. He promptly answered her call.
"You've gotten engaged. Rowan, didn't you say you hated arranged marriages? Didn't you insist that you would pursue true love? Didn't you say that you loved me? Why would you get engaged just like that? Do you even like her?"
She assaulted him with a barrage of questions.
Rowan chuckled. "I do like you. However, that does not mean I have to wait for you like an idiot. Everyone knows that my fiancée is a good woman. Perhaps I might fall for her in the future."
"Rowan, don't lie to yourself. You..." Jenny didn't know what to say. She felt unsettled.
Rowan seemed to be able to tell what Jenny was thinking about. He said, "While you try getting closer to Joe, you still expect me to wait for you in place. Jenny, I'm not an idiot."
"I... It's not what you think. I... I just don't want you to make a mistake," Jenny stuttered. She felt as though someone had seen through her. It was embarrassing.
