Jane Sampton drove away from the Sampton Family ho and then drove alone on the streets.
She wanted to return ho, but she was afraid that Jas Black would see her looking so angry, jealous, and irrational – an ugly sight.
After circling around the city district for half an hour, Jane Sampton finally bought a box of beer at a small grocery store by the roadside and then drove to a deserted place by the riverside. Alone, she sat on the car top, drinking beer and gazing at the river scenery, unsure whether it was good or bad.
All the tears that had not been shed in front of Grandpa Sampton and Granny Sampton, when alone, could no longer withstand the waves of grievance in her heart, and fell.
What she feared most was not having nothing at all.
But having had sothing and then losing it bit by bit.
What she feared most was the person who was once kind to her, later, for soone else, used her.
Yet she just couldn’t get angry, and even, didn’t dare let them see how aggrieved she felt inside.
She could understand her grandpa’s actions, really, if she put herself in his shoes, Jane Sampton truly understood why her grandpa brought up the Black Family in front of the Smith Family.
Because, no matter what, Julie Sampton was still their granddaughter.
Just like Uncle Carter said, no matter how much Jillian Carter disappointed him, in the end, she was his daughter.
Hence, Grandpa wanted to use Jas Black and the Black Family to secure Julie Sampton a position in her future husband’s family, making the Smith Family value her more, and Jane truly understood this.
But understanding didn’t stop her from hiding in the dark, nursing her grief and resentnt all by herself, like a little villain.
In this world, only Jas Black belonged to her alone.
In this world, she only had Jas Black, really, only had Jas Black.
Thus, at this mont, even though she missed him dearly, she still carefully concealed the twisted ugliness in her heart, fearful of being seen by him. In the winter of Capital Province, the cold wind is rciless.
Knowing that Jane Sampton had sothing to attend to in the evening, Jas Black had dinner with the guard team and handled so matters before leaving, so it was past nine o’clock by the ti he got ho.
After entering, switching on the light, and taking off his coat, the first thing Jas Black did was to look for the leaf card that Jane Sampton had secretly brought back.
Jas Black went straight to the bedroom and opened the bedhead cabinet to search, but instead of finding the leaf card, he found a note written by Jane Sampton.
——Are you looking for your little treasure? How naive! For sothing so important to you, how could I possibly just throw it here? At the end of the text, there was a very smug smiley face hand-drawn by Jane Sampton.
Unable to restrain a chuckle, Jas Black laughed softly, pocketed the note, and went straight to the cloakroom. With clear intent, he opened Jane Sampton’s suitcase and found the box.
When he opened it, there was one more thing inside than the last ti he saw it.
It wasn’t the leaf card he was looking for, but another small note.
——I knew you’d discovered my secret hideout! Are you so sure that I would have hidden your stuff here?
Oh, what to do?
To disappoint you, there’s actually nothing here.
Initially still suppressing his laughter, at this point, Jas Black openly curled the corners of his mouth in an evident smile.
If she didn’t act cheeky, she really wouldn’t be Jane Sampton.
At the end of the text, there was another sneaky smiling expression hand-drawn by her.
Without hesitation, Jas Black also pocketed this small note, restored everything as it was, and then thought for a mont before heading to the study.
