Jack's Distraught!

Bella approached the sitting area and settled right beside Jack Foster.

"Boss Jack, I'm a mother of three, and there are so many things I need to do before I can get away from them, especially my twins. So, please forgive me..." Bella shrugged deliberately, conveying a sense of sadness that made Jack look at her with concern.

"I'm just kidding, Bella. Please don't be sad, okay?" Jack tried to coax her.

"Same to you. I was just teasing you," she grinned, which made him roll his eyes.

"Alright, alright, enough about me. Now, tell me about your feelings. Do you feel any better? Or are you still annoyed and gloomy she's forever someone else's?" Bella asked.

She didn't want to bring this matter up again after their conversation at Harper's wedding, but the sadness in his gaze made her worry. 

'Heaven! Why was Jack still not over his annoyance at Harper marrying the man she loved?' Bella silently took a deep sigh.
