Chapter 244 Warning


    Ever since the incident that happened in the cafe, J had never seen Kent again.


    And just when she thought that her life was starting to get peaceful again, she received a call from


    him.


    J was still at work, so she didn''t want to answer the call. However, it was hard to ignore his


    incessant calls, so in the end, she relented and answered it.


    "Aren''t you going to thank me for saving your lifest time, Miss Lind?" J could hear Kent


    chuckling as he said those words.

    Originally, she just didn''t like him, and after all he had done to pester her, she even started to hate


    his guts. However, it was also true that he had indeed impressed her by doing something heroic as


    saving her life and she now owed him a big favor. If he hadn''t stopped her from drinking the coffee,


    she might''ve been the one who got raped.


    "Fine. I hear you. What do you want, Mr. Perkins?" J asked after ncing around vigntly.


    "Hmm... What do I want? Would you like to drop by my house tomorrow night?" Kent bantered.


    "Mr. Perkins, please don''t poke fun at me. Otherwise, I''m going to hang up on you." Because of his


    senseless joke, J got impatient.


    Upon hearing that she was about to hang up,


    Kent had to get serious. "Sorry, I was just kidding. Don''t be mad. Well, how about having dinner with


    me instead?"


    Naturally, J didn''t want to see Kent on her own. She figured it would be best to ask Ethan to tag


    along.


    "Alright, I''ll treat you to dinner, but I''ll decide the time and location," she answered.


    "Sure. Just send me the address once you''ve decided." A smile appeared on Kent''s face.


    That evening, after work, J and Ethan went to see Kent.


    She booked a table in a Japanese restaurant, which was famous for their crabs. When they entered


    the restaurant, they saw the Japanese-themed ambiance of the establishment. There were small


    bridges, a pond and rockeries, and some koi in the pond. It was tranquil inside.


    The moment the door behind Kent opened up, he sat up straight and turned about. "Miss Lind,


    you''re—"


    But before he could finish his sentence, his face dimmed.


    Behind J, there was a tall man. Ethan was wearing all ck; his eyes could barely be seen


    beneath the baseball cap he was wearing. All Kent could see was his aquiline nose and jaw.


    "My husband wanted to thank you in person," J said with a smile. She had already expected


    this oue.


    While she was speaking, she urged Ethan to sit down.


    "Oh... it''s no big deal!" Kent pretended to be okay with it, albeit he was actually reluctant of the


    man''s presence.


    Ethan, on the other hand, had worn a stern expression since the moment he entered the room. He


    didn''t look grateful to Kent at all. Upon noticing the look on his face, J pinched his arm. It was


    only then that Ethan spoke. "My wife is right. We do thank you for your help," he said politely.


    Then, he picked up the teacup on the table and took a sip. All of a sudden, he cast Kent a sharp


    gaze. "But if you dare touch my wife again, I will not spare you, Mr. Perkins."


    Kent just raised his eyebrows at Ethan and said nothing.


    He had already inquired about J''s husband before. In his eyes, Ethan was nothing but the


    embarrassing bastard son of the Lester family. He believed that there was nothing Ethan could do to


    him. Because if that weren''t the case, he would''ve already stayed away from J.


    That being said, Kent didn''t take his warning seriously. He just put on a smile and raised his ss.


    "Don''t get me wrong. J and I are just friends. No more, no less."
