Chapter 31 I Like Your Body


    Chapter 31 I Like Your Body


    Rejo''s body tensed up as she looked into Jason''s cold ck eyes. Hurriedly, she covered her


    stomach and cried, "Ah, it hurts!"


    Jason''s scrutinizing gaze lingered on Rejo''s face for a moment. Just when she thought he was


    about to discover her secret, he gently ced her on top of the cab and said, "Wait here!"


    Rejo watched as Jason rummaged through the kitchen and managed to find some bread and


    several eggs and tomatoes. She told herself not to hope that he might surprise her with his cooking


    skills and captivate her with a delicious meal.


    The fact was, Jason threw the bread to Rejo before boiling the tomatoes and eggs in a pot!


    Shocked, Rejo jumped off the cab and stared at the unwashed eggs and tomatoes. With a


    wry smile, she asked, "What are you going to make?" Please don''t tell her that he was nning to


    make tomato and egg soup!


    Despite the fact that Jason wasn''t a good cook, he knew that this wasn''t the way to make tomato


    and egg soup. He pouted and said, "I assure you that it''ll be edible. It''s none of your concern!"


    Rejo rubbed her forehead and pushed Jason aside. "Let me take care of this!"


    Jason watched as Rejo neatly took out the bread and asked, "Are you feeling better now?"


    Rejo let out a gasp of surprise. She felt her stomach and then beamed. "Really, I''m feeling better


    now!"


    She snuck a peek at Jason. It seemed that he had a pain-relieving effect on her-she had been


    scared by him!


    After silently expressing her astonishment at Jason''s peculiar ability, Rejo turned her attention to


    the ingredients before her. Although her stomachache had eased, she was still hungry and eager to


    satisfy her rumbling stomach.


    With limited ingredients and a pressing need to eat, Rejo searched the seasoning area for milk,


    peanut butter, butter, and cream. She mixed the milk and cream, soaked the bread slices in the


    mixture, and began frying the eggs. When the fried eggs were ready, the bread slices were also well


    socked. She melted some butter in the pan and ced the bread slices, frying them until they were


    golden brown on both sides. Then, she divided the bread and eggs into two tes.


    As for the tomatoes, Rejo nched them in hot water to remove their skin, diced them into small


    pieces, and made them into a sd, which was then served in a ss bowl.


    "Done!"


    Rejo turned off the stove and checked if everything was well prepared. Then, she sped her


    hands together, looked at the bread, fried eggs, and sd on the table, and smiled at Jason. "You


    know, the bread will taste even better with peanut butter, but I remember you don''t like it. You can


    choose any sauce you want from over there. Where would you like to enjoy this meal? Here or back


    in the room?"


    Jason grabbed a tray and ced everything, including peanut butter, on it. "Back in the room!" The


    messy kitchen wasn''t an ideal spot for a meal.


    Rejo craned her neck to look at the tray in Jason''s hands. In fact, she was asking where Jason


    alone wanted to enjoy the meal. She preferred to stay in the kitchen, which was none of his


    business!


    However, she refrained from speaking her mind and followed him back to the room.


    In the room, Rejo consumed most of the food, while Jason only had a slice of bread and half a


    fried egg-a sign of dislike. Without hesitation, she finished her own te and took his, devouring


    everything until there was nothing left.


    Jason''s gaze moved from the empty tes to Rejo''s slender waist. Suddenly, he reached across


    the table and ced his big hand directly on her belly. Rejo was first confused, and then her face


    gradually turned red with anger. "Jason Sterling, Have you no decency? Get your hand off me!"


    Jason''s behavior was truly lewd!


    He ran his hand across Rejo''s belly before withdrawing it and saying in a t tone, "Try to eat


    less. I don''t like a big belly."


    "Big belly?" Enraged, Rejo climbed to her feet and lunged at Jason, but she suddenly recalled


    something important. Her body stiffened, and she stumbled towards the tes and forks ced


    between her and Jason. She was going to be disfigured!


    While Rejo instinctively held her head, she felt a strong hand steadied her body. Jason sighed as


    he looked at her. "Use your brain a little more, would you? You almost caused an ident. Rejo,


    were you trying to hit on me? If that was your aim, you could have just told me. There was no need


    for this kind of trouble!"


    Rejo didn''t bother arguing with Jason. Her lips quivered as she spoke, "Jason, what should I do?


    I forgot to take my pills. Oh no, let me calcte. Jacquelyn had her weddingst weekend, right?


    Today is Wednesday, so it''s been three days. It''s still within the 72-hour window, though barely.


    Hurry! Help me find the pills!"


    It finally dawned on Jason what Rejo was worried about. With a serious look and pressed lips, he


    asked in a seemingly emotionless tone, "Are you afraid of bing pregnant?"


    "Of course! If I were to get pregnant, would you marry me?" Rejo rolled her eyes.


    Jason still pressed his lips, sending a chill through Rejo''s heart. Even though she hoped for his


    love, she knew she had better focus on finding the pills. She stood up with Jason''s support and


    walked barefoot on the carpet. "Pills, pills, pills," she murmured. "I don''t have any at all. Where can I


    get them now? Joana wouldn''t have such things... Wait, Jacquelyn might have some, right?


    Jason''s lips twitched. "I don''t think so-Grandpa is too old for that. Besides, Jacquelyn is more likely


    to have fertility drugs!"


    Rejo snorted and ignored Jason. She knew he disliked not only her but also the people around


    her. How foolish she was to have feelings for such a man!


    "Where can I get the pills at thiste hour? The pharmacies are closed now. It''s already past


    midnight..."


    Rejo slumped on the floor and rubbed her hair in frustration. "Ah! What should I do?"


    "You seem to be afraid of getting pregnant. Do you hate me that much? Are you reluctant to have a


    child with me?" Jason squatted down next to Rejo and looked into her eyes. Startled by his cold


    eyes, she quickly looked down and silently tugged at the "cat''s tail" on her waist. She knew that


    Jason was upset about being rejected; he only allowed himself to reject others and couldn''t stand


    being treated this way.


    But Rejo wasn''t in the mood to please Jason. Anxiety filled her mind as she contemted the


    possibility of pregnancy. This wasn''t a joke; if it happened, she would be the one to suffer...


    While Rejo attempted to find a solution, she was suddenly lifted in his arms. "What are you


    doing?"


    "I''ll steal the pills for you!"


    "Huh?"


    Jason gave Rejo a sidelong nce as he said coldly, "I''d rather you not get pregnant. After all,


    you''re just a bed partner, not qualified to bear my children. But you''ve been behaving welltely, and


    if you are to abort, I''ll have to find another woman. As you know, I quite like your body!"


    N?velDrama.Org owns this.


    Rejo bit her lip and trembled uncontrobly. Although she didn''t want to show her weak side in


    front of Jason, her body betrayed her. Despite the air conditioning set to a constant temperature of


    25°CC, she felt a chill spread through her body, her teeth chattering. She hugged herself tightly,


    desperate to warm herself and resist the man''s presence.


    Jason stared at Rejo''s pale face in the light. With a frown, he let go of her and sneered, "Do my


    words embarrass you? Or do you think you''re special to me? Rejo, you should know your ce.


    You''re nothing more than a tool for me. Remember who you are and don''t make that disgusting face


    in front of me, or you''ll regret it!"


    As Jason''s footsteps faded away, Rejo crumpled to the floor. His words echoed in her ears, and


    tears streamed from her eyes. But slowly, she revealed a silent smile. She should be grateful to him


    for finally showing her who she was, and for helping her to end her wishful thinking before it became


    too deep. Otherwise, she would have been forever entranced by his unintentional kindness, and


    been lost in the chaos.


    However, it was more painful than when they had broken up years ago, and more bone-deep than


    her longing all these years. She had thought that she was a substitute who deserved Jason''s


    attention, but his words made her realize how naive she had been. It seemed that she was not even


    a substitute, just a tool.


    She cried to herself, "Jason, it''s so cruel of you!"


    As the sound of footsteps grew closer, she hastily wiped away her tears, jumped onto the bed, and


    pulled the quilt over her head. She didn''t want to embarrass herself by letting him know she had


    been crying.


    "Are you asleep?" The cold voice sounded in her ear. Rejo removed the quilt and used her hair


    to avoid eye contact with Jason. "No. Did you get the pills?"


    A small white stic bottle appeared in her sight. She took it, got one pill, and swallowed it directly.


    After a moment of hesitation, she took two more pills out of the bottle, thinking it would be more


    effective.


    Jason put down the ss and snatched the pills from Rejo''s hand. "One is enough. Taking too


    many won''t help and could even harm your health."


    "I see." Rejo didn''t look at him and quickly slid into bed. "I''m going to sleep!"


    She breathed a sigh of relief as Jason left for the door, but her respite was short-lived.
