Chapter 417 - Budget Wise Motel (1/2)

Fifteen minutes later, the fried chicken, gravy, rice, apple pie, and the soda magically vanished from the Styrofoam and Jagger's satisfied grin and burping says it all.

”That was a very yummy dinner!” he gushes.

”I'm glad you are already full. Now come with me, bring your bundle,” Jessy pointed at the shopping bag beside him.

Jagger was frowning. ”Where are we going?”

”Don't ask, just follow me,” she ordered.

Jagger picked up his bundle of joy, the clothes that she brought for him.

They sauntered into the busy street, walked a few meters away and finally arrived at the Budget Wise Motel advertising a $100 / 24-hour accommodation.

Jessy entered the motel entrance and went to the receptionist and booked a one week stay on the motel under Alexander Moore's name. The receptionist handed Jessy the key expecting that they were a couple checking in.

Jagger finally understands why Jessy brought him here so that he can have a decent place to stay. He was deeply touched by her kindness and never-ending generosity. While they were climbing the stairs towards the second floor, a tear fell from Jagger's left eye, he doesn't understand why he feels so emotional right now.

Jessy inserted the key into the doorknob and pushed the door open. They went inside the room, she closed the door behind her.

Jagger placed the bundle on the floor.

”So, what do you think of this place?” she asked him. She picked up the remote control and pressed the power on and lowered the volume of the television.

”Nice place and looks clean, better than sleeping in the sidewalk,” he commented. ”Thank you so much, Jess for thinking of my well being. I can't thank you enough!”

She just shrugged her shoulders.

Jagger checked the bathroom, it's clean and he's liking it. He will have a shower later. He turned around and looked at the woman he adored with eyes shimmering of love and adoration. He can't help himself. With a big stride, he was already in front of her and enveloped her in a tight embrace, so tight that Jessy was stunned for a moment her eyes widened, then Jagger planted a quick kiss on her forehead. Then he let go of her instantly and sat on the edge of the bed with a heaving ċhėst. He was having a hard time controlling his emotion, then he broke down in front of her.

Jagger was crying like a lost child.

Jessy looked at his pathetic form, she raised her brows. ”W-why are you crying?”

”Because you showed me kindness and generosity over and over again that I felt so guilty and shameful of my past actions,” he said between tears.

Jessy sighed. ”I'm leaving now. I just want you to promise me one thing...”

”What is it?” he raised his head to hers.
