Chapter 760 - One day before wedding (J&J) (1) (1/2)
After brunch, in front of the entrance of the main building of Golden Ocean Resort…
”If I find out you had a stripper on your lap, the wedding is off…” JoAnna narrowed her eyes at Jeff. ”With Sarah by my side, I will know it before it happened!”
”Got it, no strippers.”, Jeff obediently confirmed and leaned in for a kiss. ”We are going on a boat, guys only… so unless one of them starts stripping, I am safe.”
JoAnna laughed and gave him a big hug. ”I miss you already.”
Jeff smiled while enjoying the sight of clingy JoAnna. ”I miss you more… I will see you tonight. The guys are going crazy in the limo while waiting.”
JoAnna peered on the side. ”You are not the last one out… but fine…”
She gave him another kiss and headed toward the second limousine which was waiting for all the girls to get in before driver takes them to their destination.
”Come on… we need to go.” Jeff reminded Aiden and Felix who were saying their goodbyes to Sarah and Sophia.
When all of them got in, the limousine started.
”What's up with you?”, Russel asked Jasper whose expression was not pleasant.
”He is like that since brunch.”, Christopher responded instead of Jasper.
”Did something happen?”, Vincent asked.
”It's more like… something didn't happen.” Bradley gave everyone a knowing look. When he saw that all of them are looking at him blankly, he raised his voice: ”Come on! Don't tell me you didn't notice that he failed last night with maid of honor and that this morning she is all bright and cheery while Jasper has a storm cloud above his head?”
”Shut up!”, Jasper squeezed through his teeth and that caused a wave of 'Ohhh' sounds from his friends.
Aiden is looking at his phone with a small smirk on her face. He is observing a dot on the map which represents Madison's location (her cell phone), in the area of downtown Los Angeles. He knows that this limousine is going to a nearby harbor from where they will board a boat (how Jasper called it) and spend the afternoon there. Madison has no chances of interfering. After that guys are going to the gentlemen's club, but Aiden, Felix, Jeff and Steve already have plans not to go there so even if Madison shows up, she will end up empty handed.
Aiden reminded himself to thank JoAnna for stepping in this morning. And he is happy how it all turned out: Sarah knows that Madison is after him, and nothing major happened that can make Sarah hate him.
He finds Madison delusional and annoying, but other than the possibility of her telling Sarah about his past, he does not believe that Madison poses any real threat. However, Sarah reminded him of more than one occasion when he underestimated other's ability to scheme. Aiden is happy that he and Sarah are together in this. He hopes that this afternoon passes soon, and he can go to be by Sarah's side. If this is not for Jeff, Aiden would not join.
