Chapter 144 Sushi
The next day Jack woke up on Nicole's bed and felt the bright sun rays entering the room through the curtains.
Blinking his eyes a few times he stretched his arms and stood up from the bed, he looked out of the window and saw that it was the middle of the day.
"I slept too much, must be because of the stuff I dealt with yesterday." He looked around and saw that Nicole was not in the room.
'She must be out handling the new business.' Jack thought and wore some clothes, he was naked right now.
After he placed a shit and pants on his body he moved out of Nicole's room and to the living area, the whole mansion was empty, no one was present beside him.
'Cassie and Susan must be at college.' He grabbed a bottle of cold water and looked for his phone.
He left it on the living area sofa yesterday and after some rummaging he soon found his phone.
Grabbing it he sat down on the sofa in a relaxed posture while leaning back, he then opened his phone.
'It's already noon.' He looked at the time and saw that it was already one p.m.
'Why are there so many notifications.' He unlocked his phone and looked at dozens of messages he received from Meadow.
He started reading them.
"Hello, Good morning."
"Hello?"
"Are you sleeping?"
"Can you answer me?"
.
.
.
"I am sorry if I did anything wrong yesterday, please reply to me."
There were many rows of messages from her and in the final messages she even started asking for forgiveness.
Jack read the message and sighed, he could tell that she was obsessed with him after yesterday and feared losing him.
'It might be because of her marriage, she doesn't wanna lose me too.' A thought moved through his mind and he pitied Meadow.
He could tell that she was hurt internally because of her past and now it was showing in her texts.
'I have to make her feel safe.' Jack thought and clicked the phone off, although he wanted to make her feel safe, he wanted to think a bit first and then reply.
He could tell that currently she is on an emotional roller coaster and it would be hard for him to make her understand.
'I have to think this through.'
He thought and then rested his body back on the sofa.
"You woke up?" Suddenly he heard a voice from behind and he looked back, it was the familiar figure of Nicole.
"Where were you?" Jack asked with his brows raised.
"I was cleaning Cassie's room." Nicole moved and sat beside him with a smile on her face.
"You should let her clean her room," Jack said.
"It's nothing major, she cleans my room too," Nicole said while placing a hand on his shoulder.
Jack nodded at her words and relaxed back in his seat to think.
"What are you worrying about?" Nicole asked suddenly after some moments of silence, she could see a frown on Jack's face and could tell he was worried about something.
Jack opened his eyes and stared at her in silence for a few seconds, he contemplated if he should tell her about Meadow or not.
After some thought, he sat upright on the sofa, placing a hand over her shoulder he pulled her beside him.
"Ah..." Nicole let out a cute yelp and then looked him in the eyes. "You can share anything with me."
Jack pulled out his phone and told her about Meadow.
Nicole listened to him intently and at the end let out a disappointed sigh.
"What were you thinking? Fucking Sophie's mom? What would Sophie think?" She looked at Jack with dumbfounded eyes.
At first she couldn't believe her own ears when Jack told her about Meadow.
"Tell me what should I do?" Jack looked her in the eyes.
He was more interested in a solution to this problem rather than some guilt talk.
"Just text her back that you were sleeping, she will take time but eventually she will stop being so needy," Nicole said while pointing at the phone.
She gave Jack a simple solution.
Jack listened to her and nodded, he was thinking the same thing and now Nicole has also confirmed it.
'I think she needs time to heal.' Jack thought and messaged Meadow back.
'I am sorry, I was sleeping.' He texted back.
Nicole saw him texting and stood up from the sofa and moved towards the kitchen.
"Let me prepare some food for you." She said and moved away from his sight.
Just as Jack sent the message a reply came from the other side as if she was waiting for his response.
Jack saw this and let out another sigh, he could tell that Meadow would need a lot more care than he expected.
"Can we meet again?" She messaged.
"When?" Jack asked.
"Tonight, I know a good sushi place." Meadow messaged again.
Jack could feel her desperation through the messages.
He thought for a moment and nodded. "OK, I will pick you up in the evening."
"Thanks," Meadow replied.
Jack took in a deep breath and clicked the phone off again, he then stood up from the sofa and moved towards the kitchen.
He saw Nicole preparing food for him and hugged her from behind.
"You can't keep your hands off me, can you?" She glanced back at him with a slight smile on her face.
"Just shut up and let me hug you," Jack said and tightened his grip around her body.
Nicole felt his muscular grip and slowly a smile formed on her face, she was happy that Jack was hugging her.
After a few minutes of silence, Nicole glanced back at him and smiled when she saw his eyes closed and his head resting on her shoulder.
'He is always so stressed out.' She thought.
"Come on, let's eat some food."
Jack opened his eyes listening to her and then nodded.
After eating the food, Nicole went out for the business and Jack sat on the sofa with a notebook in front of him.
There was a name on the Notebook, and it was the name of the person that gave Mr Wang his power.
He has just used his truth meter to derive this name.
"So Vieva is the one that gave Old Wang the power to make puppets." He closed the notebook and closed his eyes.
He currently doesn't have enough power to deal with Vieva, and he has even asked his notebook about it and it says that the chance of him killing Vieva currently is one per cent, which is higher than he expected.
'She is too powerful for me. I have to rely on Ero Meter for now to get her under control. I might be able to stay safe from her when I fill all five of her hearts.' Jack decided and then stood up from the sofa.
He then took a bath and prepared himself for the date he planned tonight with Meadow.
Soon enough evening came through and his car moved out of his mansion.
After driving through the roads he reached the place where he and Meadow decided to meet.
It was the same shop that Jack picked her up from yesterday.
"Hey..." Meadow stepped up in his car with a smile on her face.
She was wearing a short one-piece that revealed her thighs and her giant cleavage.
She was wearing a seductive dress.
Jack raised his brows looking at her, he never thought that one day he would see her in such seductive clothing.
The Meadow he knew was a gentle and disciplined woman, he never thought that she would have such a seductive side to her.
"Did Sophie see you wearing these clothes?" Jack asked, he wondered how Sophie would have reacted when she saw her mother wearing such a scandalous dress.
"I told her that I found a new guy and I was going on a date with him," Meadow said with a smile on her face.
Jack looked at her in silence and started his car, he could tell that she was not being her true self, she was doing all this to impress him.
"How do I look?" She asked him with a small smile on her face.
"You look good," Jack told her the truth, she really looked good to him.
"Where is the Sushi place you were taking me to?" Jack asked.
"Ahh..."
She looked at him with shame in her eyes
Jack saw her face and could tell that she had no idea of this supposed place, she was just saying things to get him to come.
"Don't worry I know a good Sushi place," Jack said and accelerated the car.
Meadow sat in silence while contemplating her life, she was feeling extremely ashamed.
She was so excited to meet Jack, however in a hurry she forgot to search for a good sushi place.
