Chapter 62 Temptation And Trepidation: Jane's Journey

• Seeing Jane's pale complexion, Jackie of course knew why, yet he still leaned in, feigned ignorance with a laugh, and said, "Honey, why so down? Don't want to see me?"
• Jane really wanted to say "yes," but what was she to Jackie now? She didn't have any right to be displeased. Thus, she repressed her irritable mood, put on the practiced smile from earlier, and coyly said to Jackie, "How could that be? I'm too happy to see Jackie – I wish we could meet every day."
• Jackie wore his sunglasses, hiding his eyes behind the dark lenses, unseen to Jane. She was dressed today in a nautical-style dress, her black, straight hair tied back in a ponytail, white sneakers on her feet that were both clean and comfortable, exuding a fresh, student-like air, refreshing to anyone whether at an opening ceremony or when out and about. Above all, Mallory was beautiful and in the prime of her youth. This sort of attire made her seem pure and innocent amidst the mud – it was her unique selling point.
