Chapter 238 Can You Stay Here
Hearing Andrew's words, James also felt that he owed Gai a lot. She just silently adapted to his arrangement. He had always put his newly married wife at school, and he felt sorry for her. But he also knew that Gai liked to spend her college life in the campus. He shouldn't have forced her, but what his grandfather said made him realize that anyway, he was her husband. Besides, there was nothing to do at school now. She just stayed in the library and chatted with her roommates.
He suddenly remembered that she seemed to have a conflict with Iris recently, but he didn't ask.
He called Gail in a hurry, and she answered the phone soon. He felt warm in his heart.
"James?" It was a gentle greeting, which made him happy and guilty.
"Gai, what are you doing? Have you finished your things in the college? As my wife, is it time for you to go home?"
"Where are you now?" She asked softly.
Although he was curious about her question, he still smiled brightly, "I'm outside the school gate. If you miss me, come down to find me now."
"James, can you do me a favor?" She whispered.
James keenly captured her emotion, "What can I help you? I'm your husband. It's natural for me to do it for you."
James found that Gail hesitated for a while, so he patiently said, "How about we meet first?"
"Okay, I'll wait for you outside." He knew that something must have happened to Gai, and her tone was unusual.
Today, Iris finally came to talk to Gail, but the first thing she said was, "I'm leaving."
It turned out that Iris had found a job, but she didn't say when to leave. Everyone was kept in the dark. But Gail didn't know if it was because of her that Iris left. They had agreed that they wouldn't leave until the dorm keeper drove them away.
Iris would take the train at five o'clock in the afternoon. Although Gail had been thinking about this question, she didn't dare to ask Iris in person. Iris only said that her family wanted her to go to a big city to visit her relatives, and they had already found a job for her there. She didn't want to say anything else.
Gail felt very sad. She didn't expect that their friendship would become like this when they graduated. James took a drag on his cigarette and walked up to Gail when he saw her coming out of the school.
They hadn't seen each other for two days. She seemed to be a little haggard.
He touched her head lovingly, "What's wrong? What can I do for you?"
She lowered her head unhappily, stared at her toes and said nothing.
He raised her chin intimately with a smile in his eyes, "Have you been bullied? Take me to settle accounts with someone!"
She blinked her big misty eyes. After a while, she said, "James, can you make an appointment with Jackson and Iris? Let's have dinner together. Iris is leaving, but she seems to be still angry with me. And I don't know what's wrong with her until now."
"Well, Gai, you are still young. It's normal for you to have some conflicts with your friend. It's easy. I can make an appointment now." He put his arm around her waist and said, "Where are we going? You decide the place."
"Is it really that simple? I always feel that Iris was fine with Jackson that day, and now they are in touch
again, but Iris is indifferent to mee
can't find out what I did wrong! Gail was so anxious that she was about to cry, but Iris was indifferent and had no intention of making up.
"Well, I will solve it. But how are you going to thank me?" As James spoke, he reached out his face and wanted her to kiss him.
"You still have the mood to say this with me at this time. Iris is leaving!" Gail turned around and didn't want to talk to James.
He walked to her with a smile and said, "You are very angry. I'll call Jackson now."
He called Jackson, who seemed to be very busy.
It was over ten o'clock in the morning. Jackson was quite unrestrained to play outside. Didn't he say that he would restart their family business after a change? Why did he come back to the starting point after a few days?
"Hello, what can I do for you?" Jackson said lazily, as if James could feel the strong smell of alcohol across the screen.
"I want to ask you out. Do you know why Iris is in a bad mood with Gai? Iris must listen to you now. She is leaving this afternoon. Even if we don't solve the problem, we
have a meal together." Jam Can het
always felt that this matter had a lot to do with Jackson, and he faintly felt uncomfortable and confused.
"Do you mean that Iris is leaving? Where is she going? She didn't tell me." Jackson seemed to be surprised.
But James didn't understand him,
"You don't know about your own affairs. Actually, you have a crush on her. You got jealous when you saw that that boy had a good relationship with Iris. You drove him away, but you ran away. Jackson, I don't know what's wrong with you recently. Everyone is depressed. Even Gai doesn't know what happened. Well, forget it. You'd better call Iris and make an appointment with her. We can discuss it later."
Jackson's voice became clearer, "You mean I'm the lock between Iris and Gail?" He frowned and wondered if Iris had already known something.
He hurried out of the bar, washed his face and sobered up a lot. On the way, he called Iris.
"Iris, are you really leaving this afternoon?" He wanted to make sure that he hadn't thought about it all the time. Iris must have known the fact that he liked Gail a long time ago. After all, she knew him well, but he hadn't noticed it. All of a sudden, he felt that he was a jerk.
He wanted to ask her how she knew, but on second thought, if he wanted to know something, he would definitely know. If he didn't want to know something, even if someone mentioned it in his ear, he would not think whether he wanted to know the truth or not.
Iris laughed at herself and said loudly, "Yes, you are really well-informed. I'm going to develop myself in a big city. Don't miss me too much!"
Hearing Iris pretend to be happy, he felt sad. Just as James said, he shouldn't have given her hope. Perhaps Iris wouldn't appear in front of him if she had no hope, and things wouldn't develop to this day. She didn't want to face Gail, nor did she want to stay in this city.
It must be the truth, because she said that she would stay in NF City after graduation. For one thing, her family was here, and for another, many of her classmates were here. In the future, if she worked or was on holidays, there would be familiar people to play with.
"Iris, can you stay here?" Iris heard his low voice through the screen.
