Chapter 63 - Jack POV (5)

Men have an inferiority complex and for certain things, if they can do them on their own, they will not be happy to let someone else do it.
He is also the same!  He also did not intend to restrain himself at all.
He wanted to keep a distance from her but when he realized she also wanted to keep away from him, he felt unhappy.
He felt she was not of the same world as he was but when she made it clear to him that she also held such ideas, he was somewhat displeased. 
He made fun of her but when she provoked him, he felt very angry.
He is in a bad state.
But he thinks Arya’s state is even worse.
Obviously, she did not want to pursue him anymore, but why did she deliberately do this?
She is provoking him, harassing him, challenging him……..
Arya, what do you want?
Sure enough, when the empty window period has been too long, a man will feel lonely, and a lonely man is prone to make mistakes, like casually teasing girls, teasing will cause one to begin to be concerned about her, after concern?
This possibility has caused Jack to be on guard.
Arya was a woman who was actually very easy to understand. If you are a bit gentle to her, she will blink and her eyes will brighten a bit, if you are a bit fierce to her, she will purse her lips, puff up her face and it will be written on her forehead that she is not convinced and is angry. If you yield to her and give her a small advantage, she will avert her eyes and bend the corners of her mouth, trying to constantly conceal how pleased she is with herself but unable to hide it.
She is miserly but earnestly sincere, she is nervous and cowardly but also brave and righteous.
But she was conscious when it comes to her appearance. She was really pretty but somehow she lacked that confidence in herself. Jack didn’t know why she was like it. But he assumed it must be the way she was raised or some unhappy incidents must have caused her to be like this towards herself.
“Am I paying too much attention to her?” Jack really felt that this is a little dangerous.
“This is not good, dragging my feet is not my style, furthermore, Arya is sensitive and also cautious, perhaps even more of a difficult disaster to deal with than Shelly. I have learned a lesson from experience. I obviously know that girls with these conditions and types are not suitable for me. I should be on alert.” Jack gave a pep talk to himself.
By the way, and most importantly, Arya does not love him.
He remembered that she doesn't love him.
Later on, Arya's case was solved and she got the compensation. However, this person with no conscience had asked Jayden to dinner, but did not ask Jack, she even actually intended to just deal with him over the phone.
“Arya, ah, Arya, Doesn't this count as you provoking me? Doesn't this count as you deliberately provoking me to look for you to trouble?” Jack thought inwardly
He obviously wanted to restrain himself, but she has to provoke him, well, actually, He want to see her again, He want to confirm if she has affection for him in her eyes.
As he had said it before that in every instance of people meeting there is a something gained, right?
This time, Jack caught the affection in her eyes.
It was unaware, clear, soft and careful.
She doesn't seem to know.
She argued that she was covertly looking into the men's hand cream section because of Sophia, she was stingy and awkwardly turned away, but she was trying hard to argue differently, she was very interesting.
Jack asked her to take him for the sweet dinner in the garden style restaurant, where she teased me that she would take me to eat. He really wanted to see how she will cover her story.
The result was it was real - the hospital atrium garden and sweet donut sandwich dinner.
If it wasn't to maintain his image, Jack would have laughed, this is really, how should one describe it? What the hell is in that head of hers? 
He joked with her and she responded very easily, for the first time, they comfortably sat and talked so freely. Jack saw the feelings in her eyes, but she was very calm and was treating him as a friend.
He was a little confused, was it that he misinterpreted it and her heart is not as warm as her eyes? that the feelings he saw were not hers? Could it be they were his?
They teased each other, and wherever they go, this young lady once again had an embarrassing event.
As they were eating bread together, they were seen by his dad. Jack felt it was nothing but Arya felt very embarrassed, and because of this, she bit his hand.
The hand that was bitten was a little painful, his heart, however also somewhat felt like it had been bitten too.
Truly, this was a little dangerous, right?
His mind continuously recorded that after she bit an innocent person, she wildly ran away with her short legs, the rear view of her fleeing back was not at all graceful. He remember her puffed up face when she got embarrassed, her expression when she felt very happy. He remembered her shy appearance, he remember the expression in her eyes when she looks at him..
She treated him with her true face, when she's angry shows anger, petty shows petty, she cried, she laughed, she didn't put on makeup she was naturally very pretty, when she's dissatisfied she right away protests.
Perhaps...okay, Jack had better calm down, calm down, and leave it to her to take the initiative to come back.
He had sent a text message to her. He wrote that when she is ready, she should wash her hand for me to bite back and then give him a call.
She has not replied.
Not bothered with him.
Jack felt a little uncomfortable in his heart.
He decided that if she doesn't look for him, He wouldn't look for her either. Well let's just leave it like this, anyway, anyway they were also not too suitable.
Jack didn’t know what he was thinking in his heart. Perhaps, he had been alone for too long. It's been a long time since he have been like this with a woman, or better yet, a woman that is adorable like this. Therefore, his heart must be clamoring in loneliness, right?
Anyway, if she doesn't look for him, he won't go looking for her. 
That day, Arya called Jack. When he saw her name on the phone screen, his heart beat faster. But when he picked up, she actually said that she was on a blind date, the other party brought his mother, and that she has elder phobia, she couldn't stand it, and called him for help.
The whole phone call, Jack only focused on one important point.
She went on a blind date!
She actually went on a blind date!
Moreover, they hadn't finished talking when she hung up. She called to ask him for help, but she was using him as a backup.
He was angry.
She was being insincere to him.
Before long, she called again, in a pitiful and helpless tone. Women putting on a pitiful appearance is really a masterstroke, all his anger unexpectedly disappeared just like that. Well, since she was so miserable, Jack can't not help her. Moreover, this was an opportunity to see her.
He went to find her and helped her get rid of the mother and son pair. Of course, the method he used, Arya did not appreciate it. What he wanted was not her appreciation, she was like this to him, then how can he be polite to her?
She complained about him, bickered with him. Jack was in a good mood.
But he was still not certain. Jack thought they know too little about each other. He had failed three times. This time, it is so strange and it seems even more unreliable. Obviously, it is people who are unsuitable for each other, why be concerned? Was he not able to distinguish between the feelings of friendship and romance? 
He decided should wait and observe again, He left it for her to take the initiative.
Jack didn't call her for a few days, and also didn't receive her call. He got somewhat fidgety. He tried to hard to recall what it felt like when he was first in a relationship. he couldn't recall it, so, what is his mood right now?
Mark called him and said they were having a get-together, and that several friends had come. Jack was on duty and so didn't have time to go. Mark this heartless person said it doesn't matter and that anyway I am missing a lot. He also said this get-together was proposed by Arya.
Arya? She is talking to this group of people, but is not willing to give him a call?
Jack was very upset.
The next day, he had been hesitating on whether to use the get-together as a reason to bother her, after calling her, what should he say? Or should he just forget it? The affection in her eyes may really be his imagination, he can't be certain. Actually, his determination of feelings has so far been wrong, otherwise, how would he had been dumped three times.
Jack was not able to determine her feelings, he didn’t even know his own heart.
He didn’t want to play games, He really hope that he can fall in love with someone.
Jack was in a bad mood all day and at night, Arya actually called him. But the reason she came looking for was actually to help the relative of her blind date to get an appointment with Director Jon.
Arya, ah, Arya, what exactly are you thinking in your mind?
But why he was so happy when talking with her? Even if it is bickering, even if it is pointless words, Jack felt that two of them can always continue talking.
No need to deliberately look for a topic, no need to adjust manner of speaking to accommodate her, this can be considered as having a common topic, right? 
Once again, he asked Arya to invite him to dinner. It seems that was that the only reason he can come up to meet her, right? How long have he had not seen her?
This time, Miss wherever she goes something embarrassing happens once again came out with a new trick, her line of thinking and sense of humor was really very miraculous. How did she actually think of using a box of braised ribbs to deal with me? I hate braised ribs. How did this plan form? She wanted him to make threatening gestures at her, right?
She was really funny and cute.
Jack’s heart jumped, he was thinking about where to take her to eat, he really like how they naturally get along with each other now, He believe it is the same for her too, He saw her looking at him with her feelings showing in her eyes, Jack thought,”I didn't read it wrong. It is very different from the way it was when she pursued me. She really has affection for me.”
But then she said that she has learned from the experience of past encounters and the facts have proven that my type is not suitable for her, therefore, she intends to try with other types of men.
Jack was suddenly poured a bucket of cold water from the head down.
‘Miss, are you playing with me?’
So what does she mean by all those baffling and funny things that she have been doing to him? What do she mean by thinking of him first to come to help her? What do she mean by freely displaying a temperamental expression rich with feelings in front of him?
Jack became anxious in a split second, he was not certain.
He always thought that if someone loves him, he will always know. But now he was not certain.
Is he mistaken? Is the affection he saw in her eyes actually the reflection of his own heart? He wish for it, so was seeing it? But is it really not?
Jack thought he have the right to be willful and angry, so he dropped her off at her house. In retaliation, he bit her hand back. After the bite, he knew why she bit him at that time, it turned out to be really effective in dissolving anger!
But he still haven't completely solved the problem. He still need a drink, so Jack was going to go over to Mark's and talk.
The car hadn't driven far when Arya called, but he was making a turn and couldn't pick up. He looked at her name on the phone screen and guessed what she was going to say to him.
He drove the car to the side of the road and parked. He picked up the phone and decided that he will not wait for her to call back and will just call her back now. Sometimes handing taking the initiative over to a fool can kill the human spirit.
It's just that this time, in the end he saw Shelly O’Brien. His ex and first love..
She was standing on the side of the road, slender and elegant. She turned her head and saw Jack. She was very surprised, so was he.
Jack hadn't figured out what to do when she just came over and knocked on his window.
She said: "Long time no see." 
Then they went to a bar together. Shelly invited him to go, Jack did not refuse. Later Arya asked him why did he go? He told her that he really wanted to hear what she had to say.
This is the truth, he really wanted to know what this woman was thinking?
At that time when she completely walked out on him, leaving behind the line: 'we love each other that is why we need to wait' nonsense. How could she have the face to come back now? At least, he can never think of doing anything like this.
If he left someone like that, he definitely will not have the face to go back and hint that he is ready now, and for them to get back together.
When Shelly left him, he had once imagined countless time what he would do if she "returned". He hoped that she would regret it and hoped that she will not be doing as good as he was. But now that he had really met her, he didn't think any of that.
“What does it matter to me whether she regrets it or not? What does it matter to me whether she is doing well or not?”
She's was an unrelated person, How does she matter?
To be honest, when Jack talked with Shelly this time, he felt a little happy and a little annoyed. He was happy that he really got rid of her shadow, and he was annoyed by her pride and bigotry.
Why doesn't this woman properly see a bit of her own wrong? 
What the hell does she think? She left him because of her pride, and now she's back still because of her pride. She couldn't stand other people speculating and belittling her, and also unable to stand that he don't like her anymore. 
Who does she think she is? Should the whole world revolve around her?
Love and not love, reasonable and unreasonable. If you want to receive it, shouldn't you also invest in it?
Jack drank a lot of wine, but he was not drunk, he was very sober. He could tell from listening to her that Shelly was hinting that she has now returned. He also tactfully told her that she has already been kicked out of his heart. Shelly looked very sad, and he also didn't feel refreshed.
Jack parted ways with her and went back to the car and realized that he had forgotten to bring his phone along.
He saw on my phone screen that I had hell lot of missed calls. He opened them, one was from Mark and rest others were from Arya, that fool.
So many calls!!!  Jack really couldn't help but laugh at himself. 
She said that this type was not suitable for her. She said that other than him, she want to try it out with other men. Initially he also thought the same. but now....
Jack gave Mark a call. He said that Arya couldn't reach him. She was very worried and so called him. He asked where the hell Jack died and what kind of cheap trick he was playing. 
He couldn't wait and so he drove to see her.
He was drunk and he knew it's not right, but he couldn't hold back, he was only thinking that he wanted to see Arya.
And damn, she looked so darn sexy in that shorts and tank top. Jack knew she came out in hurry without bother in about her appearance as she was worried for him. 
 Arya was very fierce. but as soon as Jack pretended to be pitiful, she became anxious again. 
She is a woman who doesn't grab the important point to evaluate. Jack told her about the matter of Shelly coming back. He told her about how his first love hurted him, but unexpectedly she was only concerned about my drunk driving.
This kind of thing was ridiculous, she said that Shelly was fully aware that he had to drive but yet invited him to a bar to catch up. She didn't say that we are not suitable to get back together, instead was angry about my drunk driving.
Arya cares about him. 
Genuinely, from the bottom of heart cares about him. 
Jack was very happy. He know that Arya, this fool makes him feel happy. She was a little drunk, he thought that they should meet again to examine it, he requested to meet tomorrow, she happily nodded, Jack was satisfied and pleased with himself.
That night he came to know she had a gift. She can paint. As she was very good at it.
Jack parted ways with her at the door of her house, he left and pressed the elevator button. She suddenly ran up to him and hugged me from behind and said, "Jack don't be sad, there must be a girl with the sincerity that you hope to get, who will wholeheartedly like you and not care about any other factors, simply based on feelings." 
For a moment, Jack couldn't move at all. 
If someone loves him, he will know.
If he had doubts about it before, then from this moment on, he thought he can be really certain. Someone loves me and he knows about his own feelings as well.
He had pulled her into embrace and hugged her tight.
Arya, this woman have completely won over his heart.
A long time later, Arya asked him, “What is the difference between a lowly thick skinned mouth and a humorous charming mouth?” Jack replied: "You didn't fall in love with me and you are in love with me."
Love will turn shortcomings into advantages, Love will completely sweep unsuitable conditions away, and the final success or failure depends on whether you both have your hearts strongly and firmly set on each other.
Jack later learned that his darling Arya had a scuffle with Shelly, she said to Shelly: "Jack's heart now has me to take care of it."
As Jack watched her narrate the encounter with her face seething, he couldn't help laughing and love her more.
‘Thank you, my darling, for taking care of me, I am extremely grateful! Please always take care of me!
