Chapter 121 Sweet Pretty Boys

Jack didn't know how to respond to her. It was clear as day that she was making arrangements for the

cat's funeral, but when he saw the emptiness in her eyes, it made him feel like she was preparing for

her own demise.

"Got it, Avery," Jack responded.

"Remember to bury her under the biggest tree in the garden. Every winter, it's covered in blooming

plum blossoms with snow. It smells so good, yo. I'll wait for her there," whispered Avery.

Nobody would think that she would wait for the cat there as a dead person.

"Alright, Avery. When you're free, you can swing by and visit her," said Jack.

Avery reached out and took off her diamond earrings, handing them over to Jack. "I came out in a hurry

today, so I didn't bring many things with me. Can you please give this pair of earrings to Whiskers?

She's liked shiny little toys since she was a baby cat."

"Alright. Avery, if you don't want to come to my place, you can just send me the address. I can visit you

with Whiskers. Trust me! She'd be darn happy to see you."

"No, thanks!" Avery didn't have much time left.

When Jacob followed them, he happened to see Jack holding onto Avery's hand and dragging her to

the deck. Jack and Avery stood side by side on the deck, both dressed in white, with snowflakes

twirling around them, which created a really beautiful scene.

It reminded Jacob of a few years back when Avery casually messed with his hair. "Why do you always

rock this kind of bossy president's hairstyle? It's so boring. Sometimes, you may just let it loose and

make yourself look a bit younger." Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.

Jacob suddenly asked, "Am I getting old?"

John glanced at the energetic and youthful Jack. "Mr. Hill, you're just mature. You have the

temperament those boys don't possess."

"But she dislikes me for being old," Jacob sighed.

John tried to hold back his laughter and thought, "Man! Mr. Hill is starting to show signs of being a

resentful woman recently."

"Mr. Hill, you're thinking too much. You're only twenty-seven, in your prime. Mrs. Hill likes a mature man

like you instead of those young and inexperienced boys. You're the type that attracts young ladies the

most."

Right when John finished his sentences, two young girls walked past them with giddy excitement. "I

finally asked my dad to get me two XO's concert tickets. Let's go together in a few days. Man! I really

love Archer. He's such a sweet, pretty boy."

Jacob furrowed his brows. "Wait! Even brandy can hold concerts now?"

John coughed softly with his fist against his mouth. "Uh, well, XO is a popular group that blew up upon

its debut in Coraluna."

Jacob kept on furrowing his brows. "A sweet boy? Even sissy boys can hit it big now?"

Jacob was a jack of all trades. He could even fly fighter jets and control submarines, dominating the

business world.

However, he knew very little about the entertainment circle.

"Mr. Hill, the star that girl referred to, is not really a boy. She just used that term to describe her young

idol."

"Young idol?" Jacob seemed confused.

John let out a deep sigh. "Well, I mean those young actors with a boyish charm, looking all innocent

and attracting fans who call them 'my sweethearts,' 'pretty boys,' or some other sh*t like that."

Jacob stared John down with anger in his eyes, making John's heart skip a beat. "D*mn! Did I mess up

the explanation and piss Jacob off?" wondered John.

"But why did you say Avy liked the type of person I am? She's having a blast chatting with a sweet,

pretty boy now," snapped Jacob,

John was speechless.

After making so many explanations, he actually got himself into a mess.

Avery had no clue what Jacob was torn up about. She just felt his intense gaze penetrating through the

window, aimed right at her.

Coincidentally, a wave hit the cruise ship, making it sway, and Avery's body leaned to the side.

"Avery!"

Jack quickly grabbed onto her waist, and Avery fell right into the arms of the young man.
