PRECIOUS TIME

CHAPTER 22

"Jeff is not present, so we don't have to be like this when talking between us?"
Pete put the smile away, "Lil Rak was missing last time. It was taken away by your family, right?"

Alan glanced at him, like bringing a knife to his face.

"You don't need to look at me like this, Jeff didn't mention it to me."

Pete frowned. "I asked Lil Rak. He said that Grandpa took him away. Alan, you know what Jeff is most worried about and why torture him with this thing over and over again?"

"This is my family affair."

Pete's tone increased, "You and him are already divorced. Even if you go to court, you may not be fully sure that you can win. Why don't you let Jeff go and let him live a good life with Lil Rak?"

Alan was bored.

Tired of this person Pete, tired of his mouthful about of Jeff, seems to show how close he is to Jeff. Alan is also tired of him always accusing him in a preaching tone, implying that he and Jeff are on the same line and that Alan is the enemy.

Even more tired of his absence for four years, knowing Pete was Jeff's only support.

"Don't say it as if you are thinking about Jeff wholeheartedly. Don't you have any selfishness?" Alan sneered, "It's so nice. You don't want me to appear in front of Jeff. Isn't it just because you know that you don't stand a chance? Teacher Pete is too inferior."

Pete chuckled lightly, as if Alan was telling a funny joke.

"Alan, you don't think that Jeff still likes you now? Or in other words, you don't think that he wants you to meet Lil Rak because he wants to remarry you, right?"

After the reunion, Alan became clear. He realized that Jeff was no longer as loving to him as he did four years ago, not to mention that Jeff said so clearly that night.

Alan is arrogant, but not stupid. He just competes with Pete and doesn't want to fall behind.

But Pete went ahead expose his disguise into bits and pieces.

Alan's face immediately became ugly and Pete felt a lot happier seeing that his attitude was finally not so arrogant.

"I hope it will be the last time I see you here."

Alan closed his notebook irritably, his eyes followed Pete and when he saw him go directly to the small restaurant, Jeff smile when he saw Pete coming.

Not knowing what he was talking about, Jeff looked very relaxed.

This was a state he didn't shown in front of Alan.

He saw Jeff suddenly slipped and he was about to fall. He stood up abruptly, and then realized that there was such a distance between the two, and Pete who was beside him immediately stepped forward and supported him.

Jeff smiled embarrassedly when he saw Pete patted his chest.

Alan sat back a little frustrated.
There seemed to be a handful of withered grass in his heart, stabbing him nowhere.

Jeff gently pulled out his hand and joked with Pete, "You really here to eat? Would it be too cheap for you?"

He said he wanted to invite Pete to dinner but it was always out of time. The meal was delayed so Pete said that he would just eat it in the small restaurant.

He made an appointment tonight, just on a working day and there were not many people in the store.

"How can this be considered cheap? Jeff, your craftsmanship is not worse than those of the five-star hotel chefs." Pete laughed,
