Jas Black gave Jane Sampson a glance, made sure she wasn’t talking nonsense, and then sat in the spot where Jane had just been, using her tableware to finish off the last few bites of leftover rice.
Jane supported her cheeks with her hands and watched Jas eat, her entire face blooming into a sunflower with her smile.
The sight of him eating her leftover food was exceptionally charming!
He didn’t seem to mind at all.
Jane chuckled at Jas, then pointed to his left hand, "Are you sure you don’t want to take it off for you?"
Jas glanced at Jane and didn’t say anything. It was obvious that he had no intention of removing it. His gaze then shifted to Jane’s hair, his eyebrows knitting together in a frown, seemingly dissatisfied that Jane hadn’t worn the hairpin he had given her.
After tidying up the bowl and chopsticks, Jas spent approximately forty minutes with Jane in the dormitory and then left. When he was leaving, Jane was already lying in bed, drowsy and about to fall asleep. Knowing he was getting up, she rely opened her eyes to look at him briefly, turned over, and went back to sleep.
Jas watched Jane’s dark hair at the back of her head with a smile tugging at the corners of his mouth. He reached out and lightly touched the back of her head, then left the dormitory with that smile still on his face.
Having her co on her own accord versus being brought by force gave him two completely different feelings.
When she said she missed him just now, Jas’s heart skipped a beat.
That afternoon, everyone who got in touch with Jas at the office felt it—the sister-in-law had co, and the chief beca particularly agreeable.
Soone had specifically requested a night off, saying they wanted to go out and spend Valentine’s Day with their girlfriend who had co all the way to the Capital Province. They thought they would get a scolding from Jas, but surprisingly, with just a hum of acknowledgnt, Jas generously approved the leave.
It didn’t take long before everyone in the guard team knew that the chief’s wife had co to spend the festival with the chief. Jas was in an especially good mood all afternoon. Matters that usually wouldn’t dare to be taken to the chief were brought to him with confidence that afternoon.
That afternoon, Jas’s mind wandered several tis. At a little past two o’clock, he glanced at the clock, thinking that by this ti, Jane should have woken up from her nap, right?
By the ti it was past three o’clock, he contemplated that there was nothing in his dormitory for entertainnt—she might get bored staying there. She must be spending the afternoon playing gas on her mobile phone.
When it was 4:30, Jas thought again that in another half an hour, he would go back to find her.
Finally, when the clock hands pointed to five o’clock, Jas left the office and went straight back to the dormitory without stopping.
As he opened the door, Jas bent down to change his shoes in the doorway and called out, "Jane Sampson, get ready, we’re going ho."
But after waiting a few seconds, there was no answer from Jane. Thinking that Jane was still sleeping, he went straight into the master bedroom.
Upon checking, the master bedroom was empty, and she wasn’t in the bathroom either.
Jas then went to the study, only to find it empty as well.
Stunned, he turned and walked back toward the door, opened the shoe cabinet, and sure enough, Jane’s shoes were gone.
Had she left?
Imdiately, Jas pulled out his phone and called Jane, but the phone just kept ringing, and no one answered.
Jas called three tis, and still, no one answered.
Was she just not hearing the phone, or was she deliberately not answering his calls?
Jas’s eyebrows furrowed, and just as he was about to call the gatehouse duty room to inquire with the on-duty team mber about what ti Jane had left, his eyes caught sight of Jane’s purse still lying in a corner of the sofa, exactly as it had been when he left that afternoon.
