Chapter 977 – Beginning with a Daring Encounter

“Yes, ma’am?” Harry asked politely as he looked at her with a blank expression.

Sara rose, “Are you leaving already? I didn’t want to interrupt your date with your friend hence I didn’t stop by your table,” Sara said as she looked at Jade and then she silently cussed herself for stopping them when she recognized Jade.

“Hello! I’m Jade Delgado. I believe we have met before,” Jade said, referring to their meeting outside her former office in Varis when she had left her cheque book in her boss’ office.

“Have we?” Sara asked, wanting to act like she didn’t remember.

“Yes. You met with Mr Amos who was trying to help you find your missing daughter. I suppose you’ve met her now?” Jade said as she glanced at Crystal who was still seated enjoying her meal.

Sara’s gaze moved from Jade to Harry quickly and she shook her head, “No. I don’t know what Mr Amos told you, but that was a misunderstanding. And this isn’t my daughter. She is just a young friend of mine,” Sara rushed to assure them.

“Oh! I see. My bad then. I’m sorry,” Jade said with an apologetic smile.

“Let’s leave,” Harry said as he led Jade away without saying another word to Sara.

Sara frowned as she watched them leave and then she looked around to make sure no one had noticed what happened before she sat down.

She had almost ruined everything. She should have left the moment she saw Harry in the restaurant. What had she been thinking stopping him?

Now that Jade had made that statement she had no doubt that Harry would want to look into Crystal to confirm if she was truly his sister.

All the lies she had told Harry about Celsie threatening her was useless now.

How could she have forgotten about Jade Delgado?

This was all because of the stupid mistake Amos had made by involving Jade Delgado in searching for her missing daughter.

“Are you alright?” Crystal asked, and Sara flashed her a smile.

“Yeah. I’m sorry about that. The rumors must have upset him a lot more than I thought. I think we should leave the country as soon as possible,” Sara said and Crystal nodded.

“Let’s do that.”

“Are you okay?” Jade asked Harry as he escorted her to her car, and he nodded.

“Sure. Why wouldn’t I be?” Harry asked and Jade looked at him with a concerned frown.

She couldn’t help being worried about him. Harry could put up the hard and careless facade all he wanted but she could see that this whole Sara thing was beginning to get to him, and she couldn’t blame him.

“Harry, you can talk to me if you’re not fine. You don’t have to be so strong in front of me,” Jade said softly as they stopped by her car, and Harry drew a deep breath.

“I’m fine, esquire. There’s no reason for you to worry your pretty intelligent head. You have better things to worry about,” he said softly, and she shook her head.

“None of which is as important as your well-being,” Jade said and he smiled.

“Including our vacation?” He asked with a grin and she giggled.

“I’m not worried about that. What’s there to worry about when I’m actually looking forward to it?” She asked, and Harry smiled.

“Looking forward to confirming whether or not I’m a monk?” He asked, and she laughed softly.

“Why did you do that anyway?” She asked with a scowl and Harry rested his back against her the drivers door while she leaned into him.

“Do what?” He asked, not understanding what her question was.

“How could you laugh the way you did when I walked into the bathroom? It was embarrassing, you know?” She said with a pout and Harry smiled.

“What was embarrassing about it?” He asked with interest.

“You took one look at my body and you laughed as though I looked funny,” she said with a frown, and Harry smoothed out the crease on her brow with his thumb gently.

“I wasn’t laughing at your body. I laughed because you claimed to be embarrassed about being naked while I was fully dressed and I excused you, only for you to walk up to me naked,” he explained and she scowled.

“You could have at least let me— allowed me to—-” unable to complete her statement she looked away from him and he chuckled.

“Allowed you to do what? You can’t even say the words?” He asked in amusement and she eyed him.

“Pleasure you!” She snapped at him and he laughed.

“Pleasuring you was more than enough pleasure for me. You look so beautiful when you orgasm,” he said and she gasped at his words making him grin.

“Don’t worry, esquire. Soon I will let you do whatever you want with me as I will with you,” he promised as he kissed her lips lightly.

“It made me curious though,” Jade said, and Harry raised a brow.

“About what?”

“Have you ever found yourself in such a situation? I mean have you ever been seduced before that way?” She asked, and Harry shrugged.

“Sure. It would be strange for a man in my position not to have experienced that, don’t you think? There are lots of desperate ladies out there, sugar. And I’ve met my fair share of them.”
