"Miss, why are you crying?" An old voice came from beside Mandy and she turned her head around to look for the source of the voice.
It was none other than Mr. Wang, however, Mandy didn't know him, she could see that he was the guard of the building by looking at his uniform.
'Why has he stopped me?' A thought moved through her brain, however, she soon suppressed it.
"Nothing." She said and continued to move.
Mr. Wang looked at her departing figure for a few seconds, after that he looked above at Jack's window.
Contemplating for a few seconds, he shook his head and then moved toward his small guard room.
.......
Jack and Nicole on the other hand moved out of the college in their car, towards Meadow's house.
"Who is Meadow?" Nicole asked, curiosity flashing in her eyes.
Jack glanced at her and smiled, "She is my childhood crush."
Nicole furrowed her brows at his words.
"Childhood crush? Why are we going to meet her?" She asked with a subtle hint of jealousy in her voice.
"Can't I meet my childhood crush? Is it wrong?" Jack chuckled.
Nicole snorted at his words. "You are such a playboy! You should have told me before, about your crush." A pout formed on her face. "And I was talking about me, why should I go meet her with you?" She said again.
"You should meet her, after all, we will live together one day," Jack said again.
He planned to not hide anything from Cassie and Nicole or any of the girls, he would just reveal it to them slowly.
"Hmph! I won't meet her." Nicole moved her hand in front of her chest and her cheeks turned red.
She was ashamed of meeting Jack's crush when she is in love with Jack, she doesn't know how Meadow would react.
"Come on, you have to." Jack could tell that she was ashamed.
"No! What would she think about you having two more girlfriends? Have you even told her before?" Nicole asked with her brows raised.
"No, but I am taking you to tell them." Jack smiled.
Nicole listened to his words carefully and then her eyes widened in surprise.
"Them?!" She asked with her mouth slightly open.
"Yes, My crush and her daughter."
"She is married?! And you fucked her?!" Nicole hit his shoulder in anger and her eyes widened in surprise.
"No... I didn't fuck her! And she is divorced." Jack said. "And I mean, you were married too." Jack chuckled.
"I am different." Nicole narrowed her eyes.
"Yes, you are." Jack patted her head to calm her down and soon enough they reached Meadow's house.
It was an apartment, near Jack's college that they were renting for a few days, they needed time to find a good new house.
After Jack parked the car in the apartment building basement he called Sophie.
Soon enough Sophie came down to the basement with a smile on her face she was excited to meet Jack.
He was standing in front of a giant car with a smile on his face.
Just as she saw him she ran and quickly came to embrace him. In her hurry, she ignored Nicole, who was sitting in the car.
Her head moved up and she leaned in to kiss Jack on the lips.
Jack on the other hand smiled and then turned around to look at Nicole, her eyes were small in anger as she looked at both of them.
It was only when Jack turned around did Sophie noticed a lady sitting in the car.
"Who is she?" Sophie asked suddenly while her heart started beating at a rapid pace.
"Her name is Nicole. She can't walk right now so let's help her get out of the car." Jack said and moving towards the door he opened it.
However, before he could open the door Sophie stopped him, "No, I mean who is she?" She asked with her brows raised.
Jack took in a deep breath and looked Sophie in the eyes. "She is my girlfriend." He said. He knew that one day or another Sophie would come to know about him and his other girls, so it was better for him that he tells her himself.
It would be bad if Sophie came to find out about his girls from somewhere else.
Sophie listened to him and at first, couldn't believe her ears, she never thought that Jack would also have a girlfriend when they were romantically involved with each other.
Nicole noticed them talking and she could see an expression of unease on the young girl's face.
'Has he even got that lady's daughter?' She sighed in disappointment.
Although after the incident with Cassie, Nicole was ok with him having other girls, she still felt bad, because more girls meant more competition for her.
She wanted to have Jack's attention as much as she can.
Even living with Cassie, she sometimes felt Jealous and now she has come to know that Jack even has two more girls in his life.
And what was ridiculous was that they were mother and daughter.
Sophie on the other hand turned silent and took in a deep breath, tears almost fell from her eyes.
Her heart started beating at a rapid pace as she held Jack's hand tightly.
"Then what are we?" She asked with her eyes glistening.
Jack stayed silent for a few seconds and patted her head. "I wanted to tell it to you before, however, I never got the chance, but I also have other girls in my life." He said.
"Girls?" Sophie was even more shocked, she didn't know what she should say or do, she was deeply in love with Jack and he has helped her so much.
And now he has come to her house with a girlfriend.
"Yes, I don't want to keep you in the dark." Jack was direct in his approach, he didn't want any misunderstanding to form between them.
He stayed clear and concise.
"But, I love you..." She said as tears finally dropped from her eyes.
"I love you too," Jack said as he hugged her and kissed her forehead, he knew that Sophie would react like this, however, it was important for him to tell her the truth.
It might hurt her, however, she wouldn't be in the dark.
"No, you don't." She began to cry out loudly in the basement as she started wiping her tears on his shirt.
"What do you mean, I love you," Jack said again.
"No, you don't or you would have been loyal to me like I have been to you." She looked him in the eyes. "Do you think I can't make a boyfriend? But I didn't, do you know why?"
Jack stayed silent at her words and kept looking her in the eyes.
When Sophie saw him turning silent more and more anger started appearing in her body.
"Should I also make a boyfriend?!" She yelled out as tears kept moving through her eyes.
Jack patted her a few times to calm her down, however, she shook his hands away.
"Don't you dare to touch me!" She moved back from him. "I hate you!"
Jack breathed slowly at her words. "Calm down, let's talk about it." He said and moved towards her.
"No, there is nothing to talk about! And don't see me again, me and Meadow both don't want to see you!" She yelled at him.
"Calm down!" Jack said seriously, he wanted to have a chat with her, however, she was too emotional right now. He first has to calm her down.
"No, just go away... Please..." Sophie started crying out loudly.
Jack moved and hugged her. He knew that situation has gone out of control because of him, however, he had no choice.
Because one day or another this would have occurred and the later this happened the harder it would be for him to patch the situation.
"Do you not love me?" Sophie looked up into his eyes with tears filled in them.
Her chest was aching and it was getting difficult to breath for her.
Jack on the other hand found it difficult to handle the situation, he didn't know how to make her understand.
"Yes, I love you." He said while patting her head.
"No, you don't."
Jack sighed at her words. "I know how you are feeling. You must calm down." He patted her back this time.
"No, you don't know anything! Or you would have told me sooner! Was she your girlfriend before we met at the hospital?" She asked seriously as she stepped away from his embrace.
Nicole on the other hand looked at them from the glass, although she can't hear them she could tell that they were fighting.
And she also knew the reason for their fight, it was because of her.
'This guy! He can be so stupid sometimes.' She sighed. 'Should I step in and handle the situation?' She thought as she saw the fight getting even more serious.
Jack nodded at Sophie's words, "Yes she was but..." Before he could complete his sentence, Sophie interrupted him again.
"No buts! What would happen if I get a boyfriend? Would you not mind?" She asked with her eyes narrow as anger flashed in her eyes.
Jack on the other hand was about to reply to her when a panel flashed in front of him and the world around him turned black and white and time stood still.
He looked at the options and his brows furrowed in surprise.
'What are these options?!'
