Alice’s checks flushed crimson as she looked at Jack settling beside her. She stammered, “Sir, you’ve got it wrong. He’s not my boyfriend.”

A little celebration was in order. 

Jack moved her beer to his side.“No.” 

Alice was exasperated. 

Just then, Jack’s phone rang. He stood up. I’ll take this call.”

“The Garcia family’s daughter is lovely, and her child is so well–behaved. She often visits to keep me company. Since you don’t have a girlfriend, why not marry someone from a suitable family? Don’t you think so?” 

Jack’s face hardened, his eyes filled with a barely suppressed anger. His lips pressed together, but his voice remained calm.“Focus on your health, Mom.” 

After some gentle soothing, he ended the call. He sent a text: [Investigate recent activities. surrounding the Garcia family.] 

He stood for a moment, then turned to Alice, finding her sipping her beer. His eyebrows furrowed, and he strode towards her.“Who told you to drink that?“. 

He took the beer from her hand. She tilted her head, looking at him defiantly.“Myself. Is there a problem?”
