Chapter 502 If It's Her, I Don't Mind Sienna chuckled at that. "Jean really is such a thoughtful girl." Jean glanced toward the nearby dining room, her voice dropping a little.
"I wonder if Asher knows what this get-together was really about..." Finished "He... probably does, right?" Sienna replied, sounding uncertain. "But I don't think he knows you're part of the Ginger family." Jean blinked slowly.
So Asher knew this whole thing was basically a setup... and he still came? That really didn't seem like something he'd do...
"Jean?" Sienna called softly, noticing her daughter zoning out again.
We had been standing outside for quite a while. It was probably tto head back-keeping the Lawsons waiting for too long would be a little rude.
Jean snapped out of her thoughts and nodded toward her mom. "Let's go back. It's not polite to keep them waiting." Sienna took her hand, and the two of them walked back to the dining room, fingers intertwined. Mindy and Asher had stayed there the whole time.
Once Jean and Sienna had stepped out, Madam Lawson looked at the two of them with surprise.

The connection with Jean wasn't something that could be explained in a few words. Mindy didn't know how to even begin, so she decided to let Asher take the lead.
Asher looked calmly at his grandmother. "I did mention she keeps alow profile at school." Madam Lawson paused for a moment, then let out a soft, understanding smile.
"Well, being classmates is still a good start... You two seem to get along. Maybe you could grow a little closer." But Asher stayed quiet, lips pressed tightly together.
Today... I had my own reasons for coming.
Unlike my mother and grandmother, I knew exactly who I'm going to meet.
Jean.
When Grandma first brought up this dinner, she toldplainly- That she hoped I'd meet someone worth pursuing.
1/2 14:33 wea, y Jur Chapter 502 If It's Her, I Don't Mind My first instinct was to say no.
I've never cared for this kind of setup.
Ever since I cback to the Lawsons, I've had women trying to get close toall the time. It's nothing new. But honestly? It's exhausting.
Finished The stronger I became, the more people ccrawling out of the woodwork, trying to cozy up to me. None of them ever cared about who I really was. I could see their ambition in their eyes, plain as day.
But when I was at my lowest, drowning in darkness...
All I got was hate. Disgust. Judgment.
No one reached out a hand back then.
It's easy to be there for someone at their peak. What truly matters ism What who's there when you've hit rock bottom. And at my lowest...
There was her.
Even now, every tI think back on those darkest days, always seem Jean's face. How could I forget? Jean had been the light that broke through all that suffocating darkness...
So when Grandma mentioned that the person I'd be meeting tonight was the youngest daughter of the En Ginger family- I couldn't say no.
I already knew Jean was part of that family. Not for long, but long enough.
And if it's Jean... I don't mind.
Actually, I might even be a little hopeful.
Is she coming? Does she know she's here to meet me? Does she understand what this whole evening is really about? 3.1K 2
