Chapter 368 Like Seeing A Mouse Encountering A Cat Regardless of whether Angela agreed or not, it was harmless to Jane. She could use this opportunity to understand Angelaâs temperament and continue interacting with her..
Jane thought that Angela seemed to enjoy being kind to others and wouldnât insist that Christopher apologize.
Therefore, Jane gave Christopher a reassuring glance when he looked at her.
Janeâs assumption was correct.
Angela had no intention of forcing Christopher to apologize to her. After all, Christopherâs apology would. not benefit her. She didnât like him, but she didnât want to see him, not to witness him bowing his head. and apologizing.
But just as she was about to decline Janeâs suggestion, she suddenly noticed Jane and Christopherâs expressions.
She changed her mind instantly.
She remained composed and casually said, âMiss Coolidge is right. Let him apologize properly. Iâll listen.â
As soon as she said this, the atmosphere became tense.
The one with the most fluctuating emotions was Christopher, whom Jane had just reassured with a look. He stared at Angela, then looked back at Jane with intensity.
Although Jane was also surprised, she reacted quickly. She lightly patted Christopher on the back, reminding him, âChristopher, didnât you say you wanted to apologize to your sisterâinâlaw in person? Now your sisterâinâlaw is giving you the opportunity, hurry up...â
She even referred to Angela as âsisterâinâlaw,â which made Angela look at her twice. She was direct and even smiled warmly at Angela.
Christopher looked extremely uncomfortable. After being patted by Jane, although his gaze was no longer intense, he still Suffened his neck and remained silent.
Angela couldnât help but find it amusing to see him like this.
Christopher would have exploded by now if it were a normal situation. She could see Christopher in such an awkward state because Jonathan was still nearby answering a phone call.
âArenât you supposed to apologize to me?â Angela asked in confusion.
As she said this, she remembered Fannyâs usual way of speaking. She thought Fanny was best at pretending to be ignorant.
Fanny was always pretending, whether it was in front of the Kins Familyâs parents, in front of her brothers, or even in front of her former fiance, Christopher.
Seeing Christopher still not speaking, Jane couldnât help but urge in a low voice. âChristopher? What are you thinking? Hurry up and apologize to your sisterâinâlaw.â
Chapter 368 Like Seeing A Mouse Encountering A Cat Although she wasnât worried that Angela would be angry with her, she wanted to win Angelaâs favor and get to know Ava.
Christopher heard Janeâs urging and felt repulsed.
If it werenât for the pressure from Michael and the sudden incide spared a glance at Jane.
with Fanny, he wouldnât have even âOkay,â Christopher responded to Jane with a single word, then glanced at Angela. His eyes were disgusted, but he said, âIâm sorry, sisterâinâlaw. I was wrong yesterday.â
As a grown man taller than Jane, his voice when apologizing was even softer than a girlâs.
Jane breathed a sigh of relief, afraid that Angela would blame Christopher for the issue with his apology. She quickly added, âMiss Angela, Christopher isnât feeling well today, and his throat is...â
Angela interrupted, âItâs okay, I donât mind.â
If she had intended to make things difficult, it would have been understandable for Christopher to apologize loudly again. But she had no interest in seeing Christopherâs unpleasant face again, so she casually defused the situation.
Jonathan, who had just returned from the phone call, happened to hear this and looked at Angela with confusion.
Angela whispered softly, âIs everything sorted out? Are we going home?â
She implied that if Jonathan had yet to finish dealing with the companyâs affairs, she could accompany him to the office..
Jonathan understood her intentions and replied casually, âEverything is taken care of. Letâs go home.â
During their conversation, Jane remained silent. She didnât want to ruin Angelaâs mood, nor did she want to engage too much with Jonathan.
Although it was their first meeting, she had always had good observational skills and accurately judged people.
Jonathan was extremely aloof and not to be underestimated.
Christopher kept his head down and dared not look at the two of them.
He was somewhat fearful that Angela would bring up the recent incident. If Jonathan found out, he was worried he would be reprimanded for his insincere apology.
Jonathan paid little attention to them. After speaking, he was about to leave with Angela.
Before leaving. Angela said goodbye to Jane with just a sentence, but this sentence made her extremely happy.
Even though she didnât expect to make Angela her good friend in todayâs chance encounter, she didnât expect them to become ordinary friends.
But at least Angela acknowledged her as an acquaintance.
It now appeared that Angela had accepted her as an acquaintance.
So the next time they met, whether Christopher was present or not, mentioning him shouldnât hinder her from conversing with Angela.
After their departure, Christopher finally breathed a sigh of relief.
âWhat did Miss Coolidge mean just now?â Once Jonathan had left, Christopher voiced his dissatisfaction.
He felt that Jane had set him up earlier, causing him to lose face in front of Angela. He felt uncomfortable and with a displeased expression on his face.
Jane whispered. âMr. Sanders, speak softly. Jonathan and his wife may not have gone far.â
Seeing her cautious expression, Christopher felt momentarily confused and lowered his voice, still questioning, âWhat are you afraid of? Your Coolidge Family is quite wellâoff in Northland, and my brother just came from Riverdon. You donât need to worry.â
Jane rolled her eyes and sighed inwardly, feeling that Christopher was foolish.
Considering Christopheâs foolishness, she pondered whether she should directly cut off contact with him. After all, Angelaâs impression of her might be significantly diminished if she continued associating with Christopher.
She wouldnât feel guilty about severing ties with a fool like Christopher.
At that moment, Jane made a decision.
âI was just joking. Those two have already gone far, and they canât hear us at all. And Christopher, arenât you the one whoâs even more afraid of those two?â
She said this in a normal volume, but her gaze toward Christopher was no longer as gentle as before. Instead, it was filled with disdain and contempt, Christopher immediately blackened his face, feeling angry at being ridiculed by Jane. His temper rose instantly. âWhat do you mean by that?â
Jane put on a pretense of being scared, but her words showed no mercy to Christopher. âI mean what I said. Oh right. I forgot you canât see your face, so let me kindly describe it for you.â
Christopher guessed that she couldnât say anything nice, but her following words still infuriated him.
âYouâre like a mouse encountering a cat when you see those two. Tsk, more like a black mouse thatâs stolen something and is about to meet its end.â
âShut up.â Christopher slapped her immediately, leaving a red mark on her face.
âDo you dare to hit me?â Jane wasnât afraid of confrontation and fought back right away.
But Christopher regretted his slap as soon as it landed. Not to mention that he couldnât afford to provoke the Coolidge Family in Northland. He couldnât even bear Michaelâs wrath.
Regretting his behavior, he didnât dare to stop Janeâs retaliation, quickly ending up with red marks on his face and a disheveled appearance.
34 Chapter 368 Like Seeing A Mouse Encountering A Cat Jane wasnt holding back either. After seeing Christopher not resisting, she continued to strike his fare hoping he wouldnât be able to show his face for a month.
