Chapter 451 - The promise of the second chance (1/2)

”At least you try. I just hope that before you jump to a conclusion, you ask me first,” she said. She twirled the glass of rose syrup. She had enough champagne for the night. She did not want to get too drunk and then ended up being hangovers tomorrow. She hated being unable to remember what happened even just a minute or two. She wanted to remember her own life.

”Don't you believe in me, Ryn?” he asked, a bit hurt when he saw how nonchalant she was when she heard his promise. She did not take him seriously!

She sipped her drink slowly. Then, she poured another glass. ”I do believe in you, J, but action speaks louder than words. You're always jealous over silly reasons and even refused to listen to my reason. Can you control your temper and listen?”

He leaned his back against the back of the chair and sighed heavily. It was difficult to control his jealousy because he was scared of losing her. But he would learn. He would rather learn to be more understanding than losing her for the second time.

He deserved the second chance.

She twirled the glass, watching the red liquid flowing around the glass. Then, she put it down and looked at him.

”I am a model, J. I work with a lot of people. It is normal for me to even wear skimpy clothes and pose in provoking manner with male models. Can you understand that?”

He took a deep breath. He tried to be more understanding the moment she became a model. Heck, he was the one encouraging her to be a model, telling her that she would not have to depend on her parents and could even help her parents in terms of money.

Of course, he was not used to seeing her first photo with a male model even though it was quite innocent. As she was still a new model and at such a young age, the pose was not over and more toward tackling the market for teenagers. However, gradually the pose was getting s.e.xier and braver and it took him a lot of time to not fall to his jealousy. It was a big struggle especially toward the end of their first relationship. She was almost half-n.a.k.e.d with the male model and he, being whispered with so much gossips surrounding her could not think rationally and thought she was two-timing him.

And with Harry in the picture, trying to woo her, it made him a bit... worried and scared that she would dump him for that boy.

She was so innocent that she did not even notice how many men have been eyeing her with interest.

Both no longer spoke in the conversation. They were deep in their own thought.

The conversation was the chance for them to open up but it ended up awkwardly. Even when they finally went to bed, they no longer spoke with each other but just said ”Good night.”

It was an awkward day for the two of them.

However, for Ryn, it was an improvement. Although they had nothing to say but they did not end up quarreling. She guessed they both learned something for the sake of their relationship.

Ryn woke up the next morning with a clear head and optimistic view. She had no doubt that her day would get better. After she freshened up herself, she went down to the kitchen to prepare for their breakfast.

Several minutes later, Jeremy joined her in the kitchen. He looked at her in silence after murmuring his 'Good morning'. He watched as she got so busy in the kitchen, he worried that if he tried to help her, it would only make things slower. All he could do was leaning against the wall and watched.

”What time do you need to go to work today?” she asked suddenly, breaking the silence as she handed him the pot of coffee.

”I can go whenever I'm ready,” he replied without thinking. He brought the pot to the dining table carefully, joining the utensils and the cups and saucers.

She hid a heavy sigh. She felt that it was better for him to show a good example to her by saying he needed to go to work just at the same time as other employees. As the boss, he could not expect his employees to be hardworking when he became lazy. And of course, sometimes she wondered how he divided his time for his work. She had no doubt that he was extremely busy with two companies and his music career as well. She knew he hadn't quit. In fact, he even created a new company to manage his singing career. On top of that, he was helping Mika with her wedding preparation.

Wasn't he exhausted with all the work?

She brought the huge bowl of fried rice while he went back into the kitchen to get bowls and chopsticks.

”What's your plan for today?” he asked as they both took their seat on the chair.

She scooped some fried rice into the bowls and with a frown, trying to remember what her schedule of the day was. She pursed her lips as she reached for the sunny-side eggs and sausages.
