Chapter Twenty - One

Ava POV

Mark started the car and pulled out of the parking lot. I turned sideways and began staring outside of the window like I always do.

All of a sudden, I heard a throat clear.

“Ava.” Jasper called me.

I turned to the other side, and looked at him. He had put his phone down and now had his whole attention to me.

“About what happened earlier, I did not mean that as an insult.” He said and rubbed his neck. He glanced in the rear-view mirror before turning back to me. Probably trying to see if Mark was listening to our conversation or not.

“I liked your cooked food. It is just that I don’t like seeing guest work in my house.” He told me. His sentence gave me mixed feelings. He liked my food but he saw me as a guest?

I was a guest. I reminded myself. I need to keep it inside my brain.

I gave him a small smile.
