Chapter 104 Lover’s Tribulation (6)
The blond young woman smiled again on her face, stood up, and walked closer to John.
"Until the moment you saved my life today, it made me feel alive again."
"It's like giving me the meaning of life again, you know what that means to me?"
John frowned and looked at her seriously.
"This is just an illusion caused by the adrenaline during resuscitation and has nothing to do with me."
"To be honest, I'm flattered by your love for me, but I already have a sweetheart."
As he said this, he looked at Jack, startling someone who was eating melon on the side. Can he just look around at this time?
He suddenly woke up and raised his hand to make an oath.
"Oh yes, his college girlfriend, John is ready to propose, I can testify."
The blond young woman forced a smile, "Okay, I wish you happiness."
John turned to leave, then turned back to comfort him: "Please take care of yourself."
After leaving the widow's residence, Jack started the police car and prepared to return to the police station to clock out.
"I think even if you stay to comfort her, Grace will understand." Jack couldn't hold it back after all.
"Two boxes of Partagas originating from Cuba, please don't bring up this topic again." John begged.
"Well, I mean comfort in the literal sense." Jack tried to maintain his facial expression.
Unexpectedly, good old John shook his head uncharacteristically this time.
"I can't help her. No one can help her. That... uh... Denise needs to get out of this on her own."
Well, John now has at least entry-level training in psychology.
"I hope your 'crazy' suitor can stop here." Jack unknowingly planted his flag again.
After returning to the police station and clocking out, Jack excused himself to go home to get some spices and went back to finish today's treatment for Justin. Then he said hello to Chris and went to the supermarket on the way to fill the trunk.
This made him think of a question. Although his 'KITT' has a cool shape, its trunk is not very big. In this case, should he also consider preparing a grocery shopping cart? For example, Chris's Ford Raptor seems very big. suitable.
Resisting the urge to chop his hands, Jack came to John's house, took out the key from under the flowerpot, and went straight in.
John went to the hospital to pick up Jia Lisi, and he went to the kitchen to work on his own. There were many people today, and there was not much space in the kitchen here, so they mainly focused on barbecue and hot pot.
Time was tight, and American-style grilled steaks and the like had to be marinated a day in advance, so Jack simply made it a Northeastern barbecue. Cut a large portion of beef shank and mutton into pieces, and add them in the order of three pieces of meat and a piece of fat. Put it into a skewer and brush it with a bunch of seasonings such as salt, pepper, light soy sauce, ginger powder, minced garlic, oyster sauce and so on.
Hot pot is simpler, just cook the ready-made base ingredients, and the most time-consuming thing is to clean the ingredients that need to be put into the pot.
The party was held in the backyard of John's house, next to the swimming pool. Jack thought about it and decided to move the barbecue grill slightly to the side. Last time, an unlucky guy was bled to death there.
The most time-consuming thing was to remove the blood from the pig brain flowers, which Jack prepared for himself. Considering that no one here would be able to accept this thing, he only bought two pairs, one for roasting in tin foil and one for hot pot.
John was startled when he walked in with his arms around Jia LiSi, thinking that there was a zombie crisis, but Jia LiSi was eager to give it a try and told Jack to let her try it once he was ready.
As the night got darker, people from all walks of life arrived after get off work. Wesley brought a full six bottles of wine and a whole box of champagne. It was said that his mother, who had just returned from vacation in France, personally visited a certain place. The finest goods selected by each winery.
Tim moved a box of Budweiser to complete the evening's alcoholic beverages. Jack also mixed some extra juices with sour plum powder, aloe vera, cactus and watermelon, which were used to reduce the heat when eating barbecue and hot pot, so as not to cause someone to lose weight. Several middle-aged people were recruited again.
John went to light the fire for the barbecue, while the others opened the wine, set up the table, chairs, and put the dishes. We all had dinner together many times, and everyone was familiar with each other and had their own division of labor.
At this time, the doorbell rang again. Jack, who was bored enough to carve shapes on the fruit plate, ran to open the door. His eyes lit up. Two beauties, Zoe and Maureen, were wearing similar professional one-step skirts. One was in white stockings and the other was in black stockings. , appeared at the door.
Jack couldn't help but wanted to reach out, but only after being stared at by the two men did he realize that this was not his home. He scratched the back of his head in embarrassment and was about to welcome them in. At this time, there was a soft cry from behind, and he realized that there was someone not far away. Someone is coming.
Seeing the three people behind him, Jack felt numb. He was not surprised that Taylor was holding the little beauty Kara. Kara had casually made a date when they met this afternoon. Taylor was either Zoe or Maureen. The problem was that there were people beside them. There is one, the young blonde woman Denise.
Good guy, he had been worrying all day in vain. He didn't expect that his small Shura field was nothing at all. Co-writing John's side was the highlight. He didn't know if the watermelon he bought today was enough for everyone to share.
The two girls, Taylor and Kara, were still a little confused. Seeing Jack's surprised look, Taylor took the initiative to introduce: "I just drove to pick up Kara and met Denise at the intersection. She said she wanted to come and thank John for saving her life today. Well, so I did."
After all, the owner of the house was John, and Jack couldn't evict people directly. He had no choice but to invite people into the house. To be honest, he was also looking forward to John's expression when he saw the visitor.
"This woman is crazy." Everyone around Jack listened to him tell what happened, and Tim stated his point of view straightforwardly.
"So I have a love rival on Valentine's Day?"
Jialisi's mentality was surprisingly good. She had no consciousness of the parties involved and happily ate melon with everyone.
Maureen directly gave her professional opinion: "Poor woman, she just wants to use John to forget the pain of losing her husband. She has a somewhat paranoid personality. At the same time, she may lack the company of relatives around her and crave psychological comfort."
"Is it like I liked running to the police station before? During that time, I only felt safe when I saw Jack and Hannah, but why did she fall in love with John instead of Jack? They obviously saved her together ?”
Kara, who had long since regained her innocence, raised her hand to ask.
"Probably because it was John who performed CPR on her. When she woke up from a near-death state, the first thing she saw was him. It's a bit like the suspension bridge effect. Am I right, professor?" Jack said, being a good student. shape.
"You did a good job, you are really a good student of mine." Maureen rolled her eyes at him with a bit of teasing in her eyes.
"Professor Cahill, I think Denise needs psychological counseling. Do you have time recently?"
John squeezed into the circle, looked at Jia LiSi nervously, and turned to Maureen for help.
