Chapter 302: Mood Disorder
Standing by the door, Jeffrey looked at Luke hesitantly.He only had to film one scene, and it was already done.
But before he left, he wanted to say goodbye to Wendy.
According to her colleagues, she was in the dressing room.So he came here.
To his surprise, he saw Luke standing by the door of the dressing room.
‘Oh, shit.Since Uncle Luke is guarding the door, Uncle Ryan must be inside"
With a sigh, he walked up to Luke and greeted him, "Hey, Uncle Luke."
"Oh, hey."
Luke could not help but feel pitiful for Jeffrey as he thought of what would happen to him next.He thought for a moment and then
decided to give Jeffrey a piece of advice.
Jeffrey was his nephew, and they grew up together, after all.
With that, he patted Jeffrey's shoulder and said, "Bruce, Bruce, let me tell you something.Stay away from Wendy."
Jeffrey frowned upon hearing this.
"It's for your own good," Luke added.
He knew very well how possessive Ryan was of Wendy and how he was on guard against all men around her.His nephew was
not an exception.
In fact, Ryan kept an eye on Jeffrey the most.
That was because Jeffrey was the one who accompanied Wendy during her most miserable time abroad.
Needless to say, Ryan was jealous of Jeffrey.He could not help it.
Wendy had a good relationship with his nephew.
Ryan was afraid that Jeffrey would one day snatch Wendy away from him.
For this reason, Jeffrey suffered a lot.
"Uncle Luke—"
"Bruce, listen to me.Give up now, so you wouldn't get hurt in the end," Luke advised, looking at Jeffrey meaningfully.
"I have no idea what you're talking about.Wendy and I are just friends."
Luke thought Jeffrey would protest, so he was stunned when Jeffrey agreed.
"I see.That's good then," he replied, nodding his head in agreement.
Jeffrey changed the topic.
"Is Uncle Ryan inside?" Luke nodded.
"Yes." Jeffrey's heart sank.
"I won't go in then. Just tell Wendy I came to see her."
But just as he was about to walk away, the door of the dressing room opened.
Wendy poked her head out.
When she saw Jeffrey standing outside, she clutched her chest and breathed a sigh of relief.
She opened the door wider and ordered, "Get out!"
As soon as she said that, Ryan walked out calmly.
Wendy turned to look at Jeffrey and asked, "What do you want to tell me?"
Jeffrey did not answer Wendy's question.
The sight of her red and swollen lips stupefied him.He stood frozen to the spot and just stared at her intently.
"Jeffrey, what's wrong with you?" Wendy asked with a frown.
With a long face, Jeffrey turned his head away and replied, "I just came to tell you I'm done with my scene.I'm going home now."
"Take care!"
"You..."
Jeffery fell speechless because of Wendy's attitude.He wanted to say something but swallowed his words when he saw Ryan's
glum expression.
After hesitating for a moment, he pulled his hair in frustration and turned around to leave.
"Never mind.I'm going back." Wendy frowned in confusion.
She had no idea why Jeffrey's mood changed all of a sudden.
"What's wrong with him?" she mumbled to herself while looking at his receding figure.
Luke, who was standing aside and had not said anything for a long time, smiled wryly.
Wendy turned to Ryan in hopes of getting an answer from him.
"He probably has a mood disorder or something," he replied, not a hint of jest on his face.
Wendy's mouth fell open in disbelief.
Meanwhile, Jeffrey changed from his costume to his own clothes.
Now, his green hair was _ particularly conspicuous.
Ransom scratched his nose and asked him, "Jeffrey, where are we going next?"
"I'm going home.I want to sleep."
"Okay.I'll drive you home."
"No, thanks.I want to go home by myself."
Before Ransom could protest, Jeffrey took the car keys and left without looking back.He was pissed off because of what
happened earlier.
Jeffrey drove back to J Palace in a huff.He rolled the windows down, and the cold wind blew his green hair in all directions.His
phone suddenly rang on the way home.
However, he merely paid it a glance and pressed the end button.
Just a few seconds later, his phone rang again.
Just like on the first one, he hung up the call.His phone rang for the third time, and it seemed that the caller would never give up
until he answered.
"Damn it!" he cursed loudly.
Getting tired of the call, Jeffrey finally answered it.
"What do you want? Say it!"
"Bruce..."
The wind was blowing so strongly that Jeffrey could not hear Nellie clearly.
"Bruce, come home this instant.Your father fainted!"
Taken aback by what she had said, Jeffery slammed on the brakes.
The car screeched to a halt, and its tires let out an ear- splitting sound.His face changed in an instant, and a feeling of dread
washed over him
"What did you just say?"
"Your father fainted!" Nellie repeated.
Clenching his jaw, Jeffrey took a sharp turn, and the car sped away in the opposite direction.
"I'll be right there," he anxiously said.
He arrived at the villa twenty minutes later.
As soon as he parked the car, he threw the car keys to a servant and strode to the door of the house.
"Where's my father?" he asked the servant along the way.
"He's in the bedroom."
Jeffrey's face turned cold.He was confused, wondering why they did not send his father to the hospital.He rushed to the living
room without another word.
However, he stopped in his tracks when he saw what was happening there.
On the sofa of the living room, Nellie was dressed in an expensive suit and was wearing exquisite makeup on her face.
Sitting beside her was a pretty girl in her early twenties.
Nellie was talking to the girl with a broad smile on her face.
Hearing the footsteps, Nellie turned around and saw Jeffrey standing by the door.
With a bright smile, she waved at his son and said, "Bruce, come here!"
The girl's eyes lit up the moment she saw Jeffrey.She stood up from her seat and clasped her hands together in excitement.
However, Jeffrey just stood there with a cold face.
‘Didn't she say that my father fainted? How could she still be in the mood to have a girly talk? She's even dressed up! Suddenly,
something occurred to Jeffrey, and his face turned dark and gloomy.
He just realized that Nellie just tricked him into coming here.
Without a word, he turned around to leave.
When the girl saw that Jeffrey was leaving, the smile on her face faltered, and she looked at Nellie in confusion.
Embarrassed and angry, Nellie shouted at the top of her lungs, "Stop!"
Jeffrey paused.
Nellie rushed to him and grabbed his arm.
"Where are you going?"
"Mom, is it fun to make a fool out of me?"
"Bruce, just have a good talk with this girl, please.If you think you don't like her after you get to know each other, I won't force you
to be with her," Nellie whispered through gritted teeth.
Jeffery was exasperated.He never expected that his mother would use his father's illness as an excuse to make him come home.
She did all that just so he could force him to go on blind date.
‘How ridiculous! "Which family is she from anyway?" Jeffrey asked flatly.
"From the Andrade family."
‘The Andrade family? His mouth curled into a sneer.
"The Andrade family running a bank?" Nellie's face softened.
She nodded and said in a hushed voice, "Bruce, that girl is the only child of her parents.She's only twenty years old this year.Her
parents don't want her to go abroad, so they let her study at a local university.She majors in finance in Ywood University and is
currently in her second year."
Jeffrey sneered again.
Nellie grabbed his arm tightly and urged, "Come on.It took a lot of effort to invite her here.Talk to her, okay?"
