Chapter 271: Dinner

Clark and Alex explained it to Kara, Jack didn't know, but she personally came to find him in the evening.

When the hotel front desk called and said there was a girl waiting for him in the lobby, Jack had already guessed who it was.

Sure enough, the moment he came out of the elevator, Jack's eyes were drawn to the pure and innocent figure in the hallway like a lily flower.

Today, Kara was dressed in a white dress, and it was clear that she had planned what to wear. Her long hair fell loosely over her shoulders, and she wore just a little bit of makeup, which was just right.

She stood obediently there, holding a paper bag in her hand, sometimes looking around with nervousness in her eyes.

When Jack walked out of the elevator, Kara's face immediately grew with a smile from the bottom of her heart.

That smile was like a light in the dark, making his world brighter.

"Kara!"

Jack couldn't stop himself and walked towards her.

Kara felt the same way. They were like two magnets that kept drawing closer to each other.

Jack had the urge to hold Kara in his arms and never let go.

But common sense won, and when they were three meters apart, they both stopped walking.

"Um..."

Kara blinked her eyes, looked at the paper bag in her hand, and paused as if she was not sure if she should give it to him or not.

Jack's attention, however, was on Kara's chest, where she wore a necklace that was the same as the one he brought back from his dream.

"Your necklace is beautiful."

At this moment, he had already figured everything out. Kara was the girl in his dream.

"Thank you."

When the necklace was mentioned, Kara's expression became quiet. She looked at Jack and said,

"I'm sorry, Clark and Alex went to see you without my knowledge."

"They just care about you."

Jack shrugged.

"It's good that you have family who love you, and honestly, my arrival does raise suspicions."

"Clark believes you have no ill intentions."

Kara observed Jack's expression carefully and said cautiously,

"I've talked to Alex, and she won't stop us from getting closer."

Getting closer?

Jack raised an eyebrow, a smirk playing on his lips.

Kara realized that she seemed to have misspoken and felt an uncontrollable embarrassment. Her gaze flickered, and she hurriedly explained,

"No... I mean, being friends, Yes, just being friends."

"Friends?"

Hearing Kara's words, Jack laughed inwardly but pretended to look somewhat disappointed on the surface.

He sighed and said, "Fine, let's just be friends then."

He extended his hand and introduced himself seriously, "You can call me Jack."

At first, seeing his disappointed and sad appearance, Kara felt a bit sensitive and was about to change her words slightly.

But Jack quickly changed his expression, leaving her stunned for a moment.

"Kara?"

Jack looked at the adorable Kara and found it quite amusing.

"Yes!"

Kara snapped out of her daze and quickly grabbed Jack's hand, her grip so strong that it could easily crush a normal person's bones.

Realizing that she had used too much strength, Kara quickly let go of his hand and apologized,

"I'm sorry! I... I... Are you okay?"

"Of course. You forgot that my strength is greater than yours."

"That's good, that's good."

Kara breathed a sigh of relief and then noticed she was still holding the bag. She hurriedly handed it to Jack, saying,

"Your clothes! They're washed... and fixed."

Jack was stunned for a moment as he took the bag.

Fixed?

What was fixed?

When he took out the clothes, he discovered the long stitching marks on the jacket.

Well, it was indeed a bit difficult for a Kryptonian to do laundry.

Why doesn't she use a washing machine?

Jack didn't ask that question.

"Thank you."

Jack silently accepted the bag and suggested,

"As a token of gratitude, would you like to have dinner with me, Miss Danvers?"

Kara was still feeling guilty and prepared to face Jack's questioning at any moment. But when she heard him say that, she instinctively nodded.

"Of course! I can!"

"How about right now? It's about time, and the restaurant in this hotel is quite good. What do you think?"

"...Sure... um..."

When the confused Kara fully woke up, she found herself sitting at a table, and across from her, Jack was smiling at her, his eyes filled with love, causing her heart to skip a beat.

"What would you like to eat?"

Jack gave her the menu and told her to choose something.

When Kara took the menu and opened it, the high prices listed on it startled her.

So expensive.

That was Kara's first thought.

Despite being a Kryptonian, she wasn't wealthy, so she had to work hard. Even Clark, who had been working for many years, could barely maintain a middle-class lifestyle...

Do I have enough money?

That was her second thought. Even when dining out with friends, they usually split the bill, but even half of the cost seemed difficult to Kara.

"Don't worry, I'll treat you."

Seemingly understanding Kara's concerns, Jack reassured her with a few words.

But Kara still felt it was too expensive.

She furrowed her brows, pondering for a while, then closed the menu and whispered,

"Let's go eat somewhere else, I know a place, The food is delicious, and it's cheap."

Jack raised an eyebrow, surprised by Kara's suggestion.

At first, he wanted to tell her that money was not an issue, but seeing the excitement in her eyes, he couldn't refuse.

"Alright."

Thirty minutes later, in front of Kara's house.

Jack carried two paper bags as he got out of the taxi, and Kara also got out of the car, holding a paper bag in her arms.

"The place you mentioned... is it your house?"

Jack smiled at Kara, feeling somewhat surprised.

He should have realized it when she took him to the supermarket earlier, but he was too focused on enjoying the experience of shopping together with her.

"Yes, that's right!"

Kara stood in front of her house, turned to look at Jack, and smiled brightly.

"I've been wanting to invite friends over to my house, but... I don't have many friends."

As she spoke, Kara's expression became a bit lonely.

Jack felt the pain of sympathy and walked up to her, saying,

"Well then, as the first friend invited to your house, are you going to make me stand here?"

"Right, right! I almost forgot!"

Soon, the two of them arrived at Kara's doorstep.

As Kara unlocked the door, she felt a bit embarrassed and said,

"The house might be a bit messy. I forgot if I cleaned up before leaving, hehe."

Entering the room, Jack suddenly felt something strange.

Even though it was his first time here, he felt a sense of familiarity in every corner of the house.

After the incident with the necklace, Jack realized that he might have actually been here before.

He just didn't know it.
