Chapter 269 - My man (2/2)
”I said I may have had a crush on Noah. Is it wrong?” Ivy gave him one innocent look for him to believe her completely and fall for the trap.
”Absolutely wrong. How could you have a crush on him when you like me? I object to this.”
Ivy saw his getting angry. She knew the situation may get out of hand if she continued. So, she put a break to it and started laughing all of a sudden, startling the two friends. Seeing their perplexed face, she could not help but question, ”Are you the only ones allowed to pull a trick on others?”
”Was that a prank?”
”What do you think darling?” Ivy said with a huge smile on her face. ”Noah is formidable. I agree. But I find you more charming and handsome. No offense Noah.”
”None taken.”
”Why will I go after somebody else when I already have you? No way. I already have the best gem and one is enough for me. Noah will always be my brother-in-law and a good friend. But you are my boyfriend and my man. Keep this mind and never question my feelings for you.”
Joshua's heart leaped in happiness hearing her sweet words. His mind was fixed on the two words she had said, my man. They had never sounded this beautiful and sweet before. Joshua wondered if she was confessing her feelings for him and it made him feel warm all the more. Without wasting another second, he pulled her closer and pecked her lips.
”Get a room you two.” Noah cried. He was already missing Aria quite bad and these two love birds were adding fuel to the fire by being all lovey-dovey before him. ”Are you trying to torment single dogs here?”
”Who is single here?”
”Ivy, until Aria's return Noah is nothing but a single man,” Joshua answered her and faced Noah. ”You were trying to annoy us by flaunting your love before us. Now it is my turn to do the same. How does it feel to be fed with the same medicine? I don't know about you, but I am loving it.” Ivy jabbed him trying to stop him from speaking but the man went on and on ignoring her subtle hints.
”Wait until Aria returns. I'll get back at you with interest.” Noah challenged and the two friends had a strong face off until the three people burst out laughing.
Meanwhile, the situation was not as peaceful as it was at Ivy's side. Jared had lost all his smile and it was all because of Tim. The man had made a grave mistake and it was costing Jared in return. As soon he heard the news about an armed man in an apartment complex, he knew that Tim had f_u_c_k_e_d up big time. Tim had never been this careless before. So, it made him question how things had gone wrong. However, Jared was able to control the situation until Tim's photo started circulating in the news channels.
Now everybody knew how the armed man looked and it would just be a matter of time that he would get caught. Jared concluded that this issue would never end as the man who had ignited the fire would never allow the flames to die. He clenched his fists in anger and wanted to smash something or even better, kill the man behind all his misery. ”Noah, just you wait and watch. I'll not let you off easily.”
After a lot of thinking, Jared made a decision. He had to eliminate Tim now as he had become useless. If he was kept alive, there was no doubt he would be implicated someday. He was not a man who tried to protect his people. No. Once they become useless, he would cast them aside like trash. Not wasting another minute, he dialed a number. ”I want you to finish Tim before the matter blows up.”
