Chapter 455 Not Close With SOf Them +6 Pearls Sienna was slightly stunned, but she didn't overthink it. Instead, she nodded in reassurance and said, "Alright, I'll leave it to you then." In her heart, it was clear that Jean and Winston shared a closer bond.
Even now, there hadn't been much conversation going on between them.
Letting Jean reach out might actually be a better idea.
Jean returned to her room alone.
She hadn't expected Winston to refuse the family dinner.
Could it be that he was still feeling down because of the incident with Dalton? Otherwise, he had no reason to turn it down.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtOver the past, Winston's relationship with the family had clearly softened, and he'd even grown more caring toward her. It was obvious that he genuinely saw her as a little sister now.
So Jean had assumed that he would definitely agree to come...
She took out her phone and started messaging Winston.
Jean texted: "Winston, are you free for a talk?" After sending the message, Winston didn't reply right away.
She waited for a bit before he finally responded.
Winston replied: "Yeah, I'm free." Jean glanced at the screen and didn't hold back as she launched into a barrage of texts.
She texted: "What's up with you, man? Why'd you turn down Dominic? Do you realize you're the only one missing from this dinner? Are you trying to go rogue or something? Don't do that, okay? Mom put a lot of effort into planning this. Don't let everyone down!" But after sending that flood of messages, Jean started to feel it wasn't a smart move.
If Winston was feeling down because of Dalton and had lost interest in coming, then she had been adding fuel to the fire.
She hesitated, wondering if she should delete that barrage of texts.
She was still pondering when Winston was speechless as he sent a text: "I'm in a bad mood. I don't want to go anywhere.
It was just as she thought! Jean immediately felt remorseful as she texted, “Ah, I'm sorry, Winston." Winston quickly sent a question mark and asked, Why are you apologizing? 1/2 09:25 Thu, 12 Jun u, 12 Jur Chapter 455 Not Close With SOf Them Jean answered: "I shouldn't have said all that carlier.
Then she sent a crying emoji.
Winston glanced at the screen and couldn't help but smile slightly.

It was true that he was in a bad mood, but another reason for hish refusal was that it was Dominic who had contacted him. He didn't want to talk to that guy and, honestly, just wanted to go against whatever he said.
Winston lowered his gaze and started typing.
He texted: "No need to apologize. I'm not that emotionally fragile. I'm just not used to dinners. dinners with so many Ts people. Plus, I'm not that close with sof them. So I don't want to go.
That's the main reason. It's not about my mood. If Mom asks, just tell her that." Jean stared at the long message on her screen and fell into deep thought, not that close with sof them...
Then suddenly, a lightbulb went off in her head as she thought, That's right! How could I forget that there was still a lingering feud between Winston and Dominic? Because of what had happened when they were young, Winston still held a grudge toward Dominic.
That incident was like a thorn stuck in his heart, one that never truly went away.
Jean thought, so the real reason Winston refused was because Dominicwas the one who contacted him? Thinking this, Jean couldn't help but lower her head and started typing again.
