Six Brothers Plea for Forgiveness Novel

Chapter 168 Jack glanced at Garretts phone .

It was indeed a message from Alice .

A wave of irritation washed over him .

He checked his own phone ; his last conversation with Alice was when he was discharged from the hospital .

He sensed her desire for distance .

Hed noticed how much stronger shed become , so hed respected her wishes and hadnt contacted her .

It Was the right thing to do , yet .

he knew something had changed .

Jacks brow furrowed in weariness .

What do y you think ? Of course , Im going .

Little Lemons my friend .

Whats the big deal about dinner ? Jack tapped the desk .

Pear Garden .

Put it on my tab .

Garrett stretched out the word .

Little Lemons treating me to dinner , and youre paying ? Cant I afford it ? Just do it ! Youre not coming ? Jack was a little frustrated .

No .

She invited you .

Garrett stood up , grabbed his coat , and checked his reflection in the mirror .

Jack couldnt take it anymore .

Are you going or not ? Stop admiring yourself ! Jack picked up his files but couldnt focus .

Garrett coughed .

You really arent going ? Were all friends .

Its no big deal to have dinno together .

Just say you happen to be around ! Fine .

Your way .

Jack immediately put down his files , grabbed his coat , and also stood in front of the mirror .

Garrett was pushed aside , rolling his eyes .

Seriously , that accident years ago was the drivers fault , not yours .

Just explain it to Little Lemon .

Garrett had recently heard Jacks account of the car accident .

It had nothing to do with him .

Jack straightened his clothes .

You guys think it doesnt matter from your perspective .

But Alice ? She lost her parents ! Garrett fell silent .

Thats true ! Alice was the biggest victim of that accident ! Pear Garden .

Alice got out of her car at the entrance , discovering it was a low key courtyard , not what she expected from a restaurant ..

A waiter approached .

Ms.

Alice ? Yes .

Please follow me .

Alice followed him inside , impressed by the elegant , antique decor .

2 Chapter 108 She arrived at a second floor private room , where the waiter served fruit and pastries .

She hadnt planned the meal ; Garrett had recommended this place .

The Alice took a picture from the window .

Little Lemon , what are you taking a picture of ? Alice turned and saw Jack .

Hed come along .

atmosphere was lovely .

She paused .

The view is nice .

We Team building ? Sure .

Put it on my tab ! can have team building dinner here .

Garrett looked at Jack .

Someone else was picking up the tab ! Pear Garden wasnt a place anyone could just walk into .

But with Jack there , wasnt this Little Lemons private garden ? Alice glanced at Jack , who was dressed casually , his handsome features slightly aloof .

She explained , I thought you were busy , so I didnt invite you .

No problem .

Jack wont mind .

He happened to be here , so he joined us .

You dont mind , right ? Alice shook her head .

Were all friends .

Of course not .

The manager approached , standing respectfully beside Jack .

Mr.

Wilson , the usual ? * Jack looked at Alice .

What would you like to eat ? Whatever you usually order should be good .

Jack handed the menu back .

Whatever she wants .

The manager glanced at Alice , surprised .

Hed never seen her before .

What was her relationship with Mr.

Wilson ? He quickly looked away .

The usual drinks ? Jack refused .

No alcohol .

Juice and sodas .

The manager nodded and left .

Jack looked at Alice .

Why did you ask Garrett out ? He knew Alice ; she wouldnt ask Garrett for dinner without Alice paused .

Im the Cloud University team captain now .

Congratulations , Little Lemon ! That calls for a celebration .

Alice nodded .

Right .

Jack looked at her .

Thats it ? Nothing else ? No , just dinner .

You two are my only friends .

Alice instinctively omitted the investment matter .

Midway through the meal , Garrett took a call and left .

reason ! Alice Was eating when she secretly glanced at Jack , and he caught her .

Jack looked at her calmly .

You have something else in mind for Garrett , dont you ? You figured it out .

I actually wanted to talk to Garrett about the AI project .

My brother might farget Maple Leaf Corporation , so I need to plan ahead .

Dont worry .

Garretts not stupid .

Alice felt uneasy and took a sip of water to hide her nervousness .

Are you settling in at school ? Its good .

Ive made new friends , a new life .

Just like you said , college life is indeed exciting and fulfilling ! Her face lit up when she talked about school .

Jack suddenly didnt want to hear this .

He stood up .

You seemed interested in the courtyard .

Want to take a walk ? Sure .

Alice was happy to have something to do .

They walked down to the courtyard , side by side , but keeping a respectful distance .

Alice quickened her pace , subtly distancing herself .

She looked at the courtyard .

The environment is so beautiful .

Any picture would be great .

Jack walked a few steps behind her , slowly describing the scenery .

Alice reached an arched bridge , noticing goldfish swimming in the pond below .

Theres moss here .

Watch your step .

As soon as Alice nodded , her foot slipped .

Jack grabbed her wrist , steadying her .

Her face flushed .

Thank you .

Jack quickly released her .

Youre welcome .

I didnt want you to scare the goldfish .

Thanks for coming to personally traumatize me ! Alice rubbed her wrist , thinking the sarcastic Jack was easier to be around .

They walked around the courtyard and returned to their starting point .

Someone approached from the covered walkway , heading straight for Jack .

Brother , what are you .

doing here ? Alice looked up and recognized the young man .

She said instinctively , Youre John Wilson , the captain of the Blitzkrieg Team ? Why did he call Jack Brother ? Mo stared at Alice , covering his mouth in surprise .

You … youre the streamer Lemon Sweet ? Why was she having dinner with his brother at Pear Garden ? Were they on a date ? Were they secretly getting married ? Alice was surprised .

You know me ? Hard not to ! Future sister in law !
