Snare of Love novel Chapter 453

Jeffery snorted. “You’d better take care of yourself first.”

Soon, they arrived at the barbecue stands next to H lake. Those stands offered all ingredients and seasoning, letting the customers to barbecue by themselves. Beside the pond, there was a forest. The customers could sit down under the tree shadow and chitchat.

They barbecued a few meat and vegetables, ordered a few cans of beer, and sat on the lawn inside the bush. They were chatting while eating.

Jeffery said, “I’m afraid we couldn’t be so idle in the future.”

Jolene sat next to him, casting him a glance. “Don’t be so silly! You are someone who will do something big!”

“What kind of big thing do you want me to do?”Jeffery asked while staring at his sister.

Jolene answered without any hesitation, “Of course, you’ll become a general to protect our country.”

Jeffery remarked that she was too ambitious.

His sister wanted him to be a general.

Eddie always kept silent. Jeffery kept chatting with Jolene. While Jolene was speaking, Eddie would look at her.

She always looked quite spirited. She was pure and extremely lively.

“I’ll go get another two cans of beer.” Jeffery stood up.

Finally, Eddie had a chance to chat with Jolene. “You are quite close to Jeffery.”

Jolene supported her chin. “He’s my elder brother.” As if she thought of something, she said helplessly and happily, “When I was in elementary school, I didn’t have any friends in my class at all.”

Eddie asked curiously, “Why not?”

Jolene curled her lips. “Because I have a brother nicknamed ‘devil’. When I was in Grade Two, my deskmate accidentally pushed me, so I fell. My knees were broken and bled a bit. After my brother knew it, he hit my deskmate.”

“Your brother? Did he hit a child?” Eddie gaped.

Jeffery was truly a sister addict.

“Yeah. From then on, everyone knew that I have a violent brother in the senior grade. Nobody dared to lay a finger on me at all. They were all afraid of my brother.”

Eddie laughed.

Jolene approached him and whispered, “Let me tell you secretly why I had chosen a school far away from home. I was afraid that he would hit my classmate again so I couldn’t make any friends at all.”

“Haha--” Eddie burst into laughter.

“Don’t tell my brother about it.”

Eddie teased her on purpose. “I won’t keep the secret for you.”

Suddenly, Jolene covered her belly, looking quite uncomfortable. Eddie looked at her. “I’m just kidding. I won’t tell your brother. You don’t need to pretend to have a stomachache.”

Jolene covered her belly and didn’t speak. She looked quite suffered.

“Does your belly really hurt?” asked Eddie.

Jolene nodded.

“Let’s go find your brother. Let’s go home.” Eddie reached out to help her up. Then he found blood on her pants.

He wanted to remind her and took off his T-shirt. Jolene was shocked. Since it was quite hot. After taking the shirt, he was naked.

“You... What are you doing?”

Eddie gave her the T-shirt. Without looking at her body, he reminded her, “Your pants...”

“My pants?” Jolene looked at herself hesitantly. When she looked down, she found blood on her pants.

She blushed instantly. She lowered her head. It was her first period.

“There are too many people here. I’m afraid others would seed it. Tie my T-shirt on your waist to hide it. It’s quite warm today, anyway.”

Jolene hesitated for a moment and took it over. “Thank you so much.”

“It’s nothing.” Eddie smiled.

Jeffery was extremely upset as if his sister had been insulted by someone.

Eddie kept standing with his back to everyone.

“Dad, you are so disappointing!” Chloe couldn’t accept that her father planned for her in the same of for the family’s good, but as the matter of fact, he wanted to accomplish his secret love.

The great father figure in her heart collapsed.

She cried and trotted out of the study.

Mrs. Chambers looked at her husband. “No matter how regretful or reluctant you are, it has been so many years, and you should let go.”

After that, she walked out of the study. When passing by Jeffery, she said, “As the old saying goes, ‘It is better to knock down ten temples than wreck one marriage’ You both are out of your minds.”

Jeffery turned away. Although he had let go of Dolores, he still couldn’t forgive Victoria. In his opinion, Victoria had ruined Jolene’s marriage.

The study was quiet. Jeffery had never expected that his pal who he had known for decades loved Jolene secretly.

He couldn’t tell what kind of feeling he had now. Anyway, he was quite uncomfortable.

“You all claimed that you loved her. What have you offered her? For interest, you forced her to marry a man she didn’t love at all,” said Eddie ironically.

“We’ve done it for her own good.” Jeffery still insisted that what they had done was right. “The brat from the Lennon family was an illegitimate son, and his mother was a whore. How could he deserve Jolene?

“Jayden Nelson is tens of thousands better than the brat from the Lennon family!” Although Jayden had betrayed his sister, Jeffery didn’t think it was Jayden’s fault at all. It must be Victoria who had seduced him.

As a man, Jayden met all the requirements of being the brother-in-law in Jeffery’s mind -- tall, strong, handsome, and capable. Jeffery could tell that Jayden truly liked Jolene at that time.

They were a perfect match.

They deserved each other a lot.

Eddie snorted. “Just for your own selfishness. Don’t make it so high-sounding.”

“If it were twenty years ago and I knew your mind, I would definitely beat you up!” Jeffery said fiercely.
