Chapter 503 Still Don't Understand Asher's heartbeat picked up.
He didn't know if Jean was aware of the setup... or how she felt about it.
All he knew was- I wanted to be here.
And that's why tonight happened.
Jean's surprised expression carlier pretty much confirmed she had no idea what this dinner was actually about.
And honestly? I'm a little worried she might be freaked out.
Right then, the dining room door opened again.
Jean walked in, with Sienna following right behind.
☐ 037% T Finished "Jean, csit down," Mindy said warmly, motioning her over. Then she smiled at Sienna. "Please, Madam Sienna, have a seat too." By now, Mindy had already shaken off the shock and was feeling calm-and genuinely pleased.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtAt first, she'd been a bit nervous about this whole arrangement.
Asher was still young. Was it really a good idea to start nudging him toward relationships so early? But this had all been orchestrated by Madam Lawson, and I couldn't exactly oppose it.
And the other party was the legendary Ginger family. Not exactly someone you turn down. Still, I had made up my mind.
If Asher liked the person, I'd support him completely. No objections, no pressure.
I want to respect whatever my son wants.
What I hadn't expected, though, was that the Ginger daughter- Would turn out to be Jean.
I already like Jean as a person. So after the initial surprise faded, I felt nothing but relief. Maybe even joy.
Jean's character, her temperament-I didn't need to investigate any of that.
And the bond between Jean and Asher? That already spoke volumes.
If something really did blossom between them... Well, that'd be amazing.
Jean was sitting right in front of her now, and Mindy couldn't help but smile.
The more she looked at her, the more she liked her. The more she saw, the more satisfied she felt.

55% Finished Madam Lawson gave the order for dinner to be served.
Jean and Asher ended up sitting across from each other. Just a glance upward was enough for their eyes to meet.
Jean narrowed her eyes slightly, almost subconsciously, studying the boy across from her.
He kept his gaze lowered, his emotions hidden deep behind his calm exterior. His face gave away nothing- not even a hint of what might be on his mind.
There was still one thing I couldn't figure out.
If Asher knew what kind of dinner this was going to be... why did he say yes? He's never struckas someone interested in things like this.
I've never seen any girl get especially close to him. Not in that kind of way. Of course, people like Sofia and I don't count -we're just classmates and friends...
Maybe he's just not into dating? But then why show up tonight? Is he finally starting to catch feelings? Or... is he interested in the Ginger family? "Jean." Sienna's voice pulled her straight out of her thoughts.
Jean turned instinctively and looked at her mother.
Sienna was smiling gently.
"The food's here. If you're hungry, go ahead and eat a little first: " Jean nodded obediently and reached for her utensils.
Sienna had called her on purpose just now.
This girl's imagination was running wild again. She'd clearly gotten lost in her own head, I hadn't spoken up, she probably would've stayed zoned out the whole night...
"Jean, we had this whole meal prepared just for tonight. Try it and see if it suits your taste, Mindy said Fith with a gentle smile. "Asher even took the tto-" But she stopped mid-sentence.
Asher had just turned to look at her.
His eyes locked onto hers, intense and unwavering.
That look clearly said one thing.
Don't finish that sentence.
