Chapter 33

"Well, it's nothing much that I cannot handle." Mike simply said and Jack could not help but wonder just how much Mike was hiding inside that heart of his. 

Instead of being pissed that Mike was not opening up to him, he only pitied him, which he did not show because Mike hated being pitied more than anything. 

Since Mike was not coming out straight to him, he decided to just go straight to the point and hit the nail on the head so that everything would be laid bare on the table.

"I guess the marriage arrangement is really getting to you, isn't it?" Jack asked and Mike looked up to glance at him for a hot second but then continued to have his burger.

"I see you already know so much about that," Mike said and Jack gave him a look. Mike knew there was nothing Jack could really do about his attitude, it had been like that from their days in school and Jack was already used to him being that way.
