Billionaire's Reborn Baby
Chapter 308 Cold Beauties

"My friend recently has taken a divorce case. The other party is the chairman of Zayne Science and Technology. I know it is classified, but I remember that you are cooperating with his company. So I think I should let you know so that you can be prepared for the possible influences."

Vincent was sitting on the sofa while Rex was dressing the wound for him. He put his phone on the table with its speaker on. Jaquan hesitantly said on the other side, "I saw him at the GY Temple last time. It was the day that the incident happened. I felt I had met him before but I couldn't remember who he was until a friend talked about it. It truly was him."

Vincent frowned and Rex thought that he hurt him, so he stopped and backed away. Vincent took his phone and asked, "Did you see him at the GY Temple?"

Jaquan answered yes and said in disbelief, "It is odd. I usually don't forget big shots, but somehow I didn't remember him."

"He doesn't believe in Buddhism." Vincent suddenly said.

Jaquan was stunned because he felt Vincent was hinting at something. He was afraid that the accident was related to the chairman. But he still said, "Perhaps he just went there for tour."

"Call Ferne and tell him about it as well as the divorce." Vincent pondered for a moment and said, "Don't ask anything else and don't interfere in your friend's case."

As Vincent said in such a serious tone, Jaquan answered carefully. "I understand."

Hanging up the phone, Jaquan immediately called Ferne. Ferne responded emotionally. Although Jaquan did not know why, he could sense that the chairman was associated with the incident in the GY Temple.

Before Ferne hung up, he warned him, "Keep it between us."

"Sure."

Then the entire room fell silent again. Sitting quietly on the sofa, Jaquan watched Tom chasing Jerry on TV. Tom moved so fast that it was hard to see clear his legs, but he still couldn't catch up with Jerry. It was funny, but Jaquan couldn't laugh anymore.

"Jaquan, what's wrong with you?"

"Nothing."

"You don't love me now, do you?"

"I love you."

"Then why don't you kiss me?"

Jaquan lay on the sofa, with one hand covering his eyes. Arabella's lonely and aggrieved expression came up in his head. She stared at him and said, "Jaquan, I don't feel like we are dating. We are lonely, so we spend the time with each other. It is not love. You don't like me... Admit it, every time you go out with me, you don't focus on me. If you like someone else, just tell me. I'll let you go."

The girl who Jaquan had always liked had grown up. A girl like Arabella should take pride in herself. She wanted attention from people, even just from a passer-by. She was born to be a celebrity. She lived under the spotlights. She couldn't accept it if people stop caring about her. What's more, she couldn't stand it if Jaquan neglected her.

Jaquan behaved well every time they dated. He made itineraries in advance and prepared things like umbrellas, napkins and snacks all the time. During the date, he was the driver and bodyguard. He paid for everything they need.

However, the longer they stayed together, the more they realized that they had little in common. They always felt awkward when there was nothing to talk about. Jaquan tried to change this situation, but it never worked.

He had tried to attract the attention of Arabella, but at this moment, he was somewhat helpless. It seemed that he didn't want to change. He did everything he could do.

He thought he didn't have to curry favor with Arabella all the time. He knew what she wanted was not a boyfriend who would do everything for her. He knew Arabella wouldn't stop loving him even if he didn't ac like a perfect man.

However, the truth was that the person who had changed was him, not Arabella.

"I was standing at the door of your house that day when I called you. You said you were home." Arabella was disappointed that day. She forced a smile, like mocking herself. He remembered he could see stubbornness and grievance in her watery eyes. "You don't like me, all of you!"

Suddenly the door opened. Lying on the sofa, Jaquan didn't respond. Collin asked from the hallway. "You haven't returned yet? You are not going home in the New Year?"

"I will go home tomorrow." Jaquan answered.

"What's wrong with you? Aren't you happy to have a girlfriend?" Collin teased him about his girlfriend all the time. "You could bring your girlfriend with you for New Year's Eve dinner."

Jaquan didn't say anything and watched Tom who was tricked by Jerry on TV.

Collin changed his shoes and came in with bags in his hand. He opened them all and put things inside on the dining table.

Jaquan asked sullenly, "What is it?"

"Chocolate, scarfs, and socks. All are New Year's gifts from the nurses..." Collin saw a note between them. It read, "Doctor Mueller, I like you."

Collin looked at it for a few seconds, "Oh, who gave this to me?"

Jaquan got up from the sofa and walked over. Seeing the note in his hand, he snorted and rolled his eyes at Collin. "I don't want it. Take it back and give it to someone else."

"Alright then." Collin put everything back into two bags and walked towards the hallway.

"Are you leaving now?" Jaquan asked.

Collin stopped and looked at him, "What's wrong with you? You're odd today. Do you have something to tell me?"

Jaquan scratched his hair. Every time the New Year approached, Collin was extremely busy. The last time Jaquan saw him was the last week when he went out to work in the morning. He met Collin who came back from the night shift. But they didn't even talk because Collin was tired and sleepy.

Jaquan had been looking for a chance to talk to him, but he failed. A few days ago, Arabella made it clear but he didn't feel so sad.

However, Jaquan didn't know how to start this topic with Collin now. So he just scratched his messy hair and said hesitantly,

"I don't know what's going on. Every time I go out with Arabella, I always think of another woman."

"Think of what?" Collin asked in a bantering tone.

Jaquan didn't know how to answer.

"Well, let's take it seriously." Collin adjusted his glasses with his slender index finger. "It means that you like that woman very much." "But I clearly...." Jaquan knew he liked Arabella.

He liked her for years. How could he love another woman?

"What about her?" Collin asked.

"What?" Jaquan hadn't pulled himself together.

"That 'another woman'. Does she like you?"

Collin got the answer from his eyes, "What's wrong with you? You always fall for cold beauties. But they don't like you."

It was just Arabella, no, now there was another one.

"Who is it this time? Tell me, I'll give you some advice." Collin laughed.

Jaquan felt himself crazy and heaved a deep sigh.

Collin shook his head, "It seems like this one is even harder to deal with than Miss Arabella."

Jaquan walked to the sofa and then threw himself into it again. He sighed, "I think I am a play boy. I like Arabella so much, why..." He could not continue and detested himself.

"It is all your obsession." Collin spoke and sat down beside him calmly. He picked up the remote control and pressed on the pause button.

Jaquan had never allowed anyone to comment his feelings for Arabella like this, because he liked her for fifteen years. However, he didn't feel so sad since he broke up with Arabella. When he heard Collin say

it was all his obsession, he kind of agreed with him. Perhaps he had always felt the same. But in the past, he felt annoyed when Randy exhorted him to let her go.

"Then what should I do now?" Jaquan asked.

Collin took off his glasses and said, "Let me tell you something that happened the day before yesterday."

"It was a car accident. The girl was unconscious when she was sent to the hospital. The boy was also seriously injured, but he was still conscious. They were sent to the different rooms for surgery. In the end, one died and the other was saved."

"The boy survived. He knelt in front of the girl and cried. He said he didn't tell her he liked her."

"What do you mean?" Jaquan didn't like tragedies.

Collin patted him on his shoulder and stood up. "I want to tell you that do whatever you want when she is alive. Or you will regret it after death."
