บท 198: Meeting Chuck's Mom

Chuck took a beat before saying, "I think of you like a sister."

Jenny made a sour face. "Yeah, your dad's my uncle and my aunt is his ex-wife. But we don't share blood."

Chuck was straightforward, "I don't have a crush on you."

"Feelings can grow, you know. If you let them, maybe something could happen between us."

Chuck scrunched his face. "I'm busy, we'll talk later."

"But you..."

The call ended before she could finish. Jenny frowned at her phone.

She mumbled, "It's always the same. He's got no patience for me. He'd rather crush on a married woman than like me. It's driving me up the wall!"

She called Sandra. "Aunt Sandra, I wanted to see Alicia but couldn't find her. I did bump into her husband. Or, her ex-husband, I mean."

"And? What'd he say?"

"He didn't say much. He's just as good-looking as Chuck."

Sandra didn't seem to care. She just said 'uh huh' and hung up.
