Free Web NovelChapter 90: Owen’s Silence
Editor: Henyee Translations
Anita was still caught up in the awkwardness of the moment. She hadn’t expected Jack to suddenly ask her a question. "I’m sorry," she said, stunned. "I didn’t hear what you just asked."
Jack looked at Anita and wanted to reach out and touch her head, but this action was really inappropriate, so he said helplessly, "Why are you always distracted? I’m asking you when you’ll come to the laboratory tomorrow."
"Tomorrow. I applied for leave from my mentor. I need to rest for the next two days," Anita said after thinking for a while. freewebnovel.cσ๓
"You’re taking two days off because you’re going somewhere? With your husband?" Jack asked Anita.
"Yes, the two of us are going out to play for two days." Anita was still not used to Jack’s aggressive attitude from time to time.
Jack also felt that something was wrong with his words, so he tried to relax and then asked, "Where are you going?" freewebnσvel.cѳm
"A resort villa. I’m not too sure about the details." Anita didn’t go into too much detail and only briefly explained.
"Well, have fun, then." Jack’s voice suddenly dropped, and the two didn’t speak again until they reached the school gate. Just as they reached the school gate, Anita saw Owen’s car with the headlights still on.
Then she turned to Jack and said, "Thank you, Jack. My husband is here to pick me up."
Jack also saw the luxury car parked in front of the school with its lights on. The Bentley was the one he had seen that morning. It was also a car that many of the boys loved. It could also be a car that he could not afford even if he worked hard for a long time.
"Okay, then you better get back," Jack said while trying to keep his face straight.
"Good. Then you should get back early, too. Bye," Anita said, then took a few quick steps toward where Owen had parked.
As soon as Bentley got into the car, Owen came up and gave her a hug.
Jack, who was standing at the school gate, saw this action. His mood immediately started to fall. He had thought a lot these two days and finally figured it out.
He felt that even if Anita was married, it didn’t mean that he didn’t have a chance. However, he didn’t expect the huge difference between him and Owen. He couldn’t help but wonder if he was too naive.
"Owen, what are you looking at?" Anita said while reaching out to shake Owen.
"Nothing. By the way, Anita, why did your experiment end so late today?" Owen said suddenly.
"Well, my lab partner wasn’t here. There’s some work I needed to do for him," Anita said while looking at Owen.
Owen nodded at Anita’s words and didn’t say anything else. Then, he started the car and drove home.
Along the way, Owen didn’t speak again, and Anita felt that something was wrong with the atmosphere. She wanted to ask, but she didn’t know what to ask. She thought it was because Owen was under too much pressure at work today.
Owen, who’d been driving, wasn’t in a good mood either, because he’d just spotted a very handsome and very young guy talking and laughing with Anita.
Even after Anita got into the car, he saw the boy still standing at the school gate.
In that instant, he suddenly felt a sense of danger. There was a difference in age between him and Anita. He didn’t know if he could satisfy her requirements for a mate.
And he suddenly felt that he did not know how to ask about the relationship between the boy and Anita.
Therefore, the atmosphere between the two became stiff.
When they reached home and washed up, the two of them lay on the bed with their backs to each other and did not speak. This was the first time such a situation had happened since they slept together.
Anita suddenly felt sick inside. Was her relationship with Owen so fragile? How long had they been together? Was Owen tired of her so soon?
Owen, lying on his other side, was also wondering why Anita hadn’t talked to him yet, and hadn’t told him who the boy was. Then the two of them fell asleep with their own speculations.
The next morning, Owen’s phone rang. "Hello, who is this?"
"Owen, are you and Anita still not up? Didn’t you agree to come to my resort today?" Owen woke up from his nap as he listened. He remembered that he and Anita were going on a vacation today.
Hence, he hurriedly said, "I’m sorry, Uncle Bieber. I worked overtime too late yesterday. We’ll pack up and go over immediately."
"It’s fine. Young people are under a lot of pressure. We can understand. You can just call me when you get there," a vigorous male voice said with a smile.
When the line went dead, Owen glanced at his phone, then turned back to Anita. "Anita, get up. We agreed to go on vacation today."
