Chapter 267 - Lets talk (3) (1/2)

JoAnna came out of the bedroom after talking to Sophia and found that Jeff was back in the study room behind his computer. She didn't want to disturb him and went to the patio.

JoAnna felt guilty that he took a day off because of her, and he neglected his work. She is not sure what he does, but she knows that work is a big part of his life, and it seems that before she got his attention, most of his life was focused on work.

This day was a mess. They ended up being photographed. She cringed at herself when she remembered how she messed up and criticized him for getting the whole restaurant for them. 'The whole day I'm just causing problems and being a burden.' JoAnna was on an emotional low. Feeling of not being good enough for Jeff, overwhelmed her. 'And what will happen if I move in with him? Will every day be a complete mess?' She sighed and held her head in her hands.

”What is troubling you?” JoAnna heard Jeff's voice from behind.

JoAnna didn't respond. She didn't know what to say and not to sound like a complete loser who is feeling sorry for herself.

”I thought we are supposed to talk...” He reminded her.

JoAnna hesitated before answering. ”I think you are too good for me.”

”What a coincidence...” Jeff gently smiled. ”I think the same way about you.” For him, JoAnna is the most beautiful, smartest, kindest… best at everything woman. He does not see any flaws in her, only perfection.

”How can that be?” JoAnna shook her head dismissing his statement. ”I'm a magnet for trouble. Your life would be much simpler without me.”

Jeff winced when he heard her words and pulled her in his embrace. ”Don't say that... my life without you would be simpler, but it would be a torture. Even if you attract all trouble in the world, I will gladly dispose of it for you. Now that I finally found you, I'm not willing to let go.”

His words touched her like nothing before. Knowing that he wants to take care of her no matter what, made her heart melt. Her emotions were so strong, that it was impossible for her to form any words. She was surprised to hear him say that he will not let go. How can this perfect man say that he will not let go of her, when she does not feel worthy to be with her?

Jeff looked JoAnna in the eyes and observed her bewildered expression. ”Don't demean yourself. In my eyes, you are perfect, but if you believe that you are not good enough, no matter what I say will not change how you feel... If you think that I'm too good, then you need to get better... Get better until you are satisfied with yourself and your self-doubts are gone. ”
