Chapter 1310
[ 583 words ]
In the living room.
Jimmie sat on the sofa with a gloomy expression, his eyes constantly darting toward the bedroom door. “Are you sure you want to leave Juniper alone in the room with him?”
Shanley swirled his wine glass, walking over to Jimmie with a wicked smile. “I used to worry, but now? I’m completely at ease.”
He could tell the feeling was mutual. Since that was the case, there was nothing to worry about.
“How do you think he’ll respond to me?” Jimmie pressed his lips together, swallowing his urge to curse Shanley out, and asked politely.
“How should I know?” Shanley offered him a glass of red wine, raising an eyebrow. “Drink?”
“I can’t drink!”
Jimmie shook his head. Just as he was about to speak, the bedroom door suddenly opened.
It was Luella who came out.
“It’s too sudden, she can’t process it right now.” Juniper relayed Luella’s message. “She asked you to leave first and give her a night to think.”
“Alright.” Jimmie knew he was pushing too hard. He stood up, his voice hoarse. “Juniper, would you be against it?”
“Me?”
Juniper blinked, holding her breath, and asked again, “Jimmie, you like Luella for who ‘he’ is, and you really don’t care if it’s a man or a woman?”
“Yes!”
“Then it’s fine!” Juniper gave a faint smile and spoke slowly. “Go back for now. Luella will give you the answer. As for whether I agree or not…”
Juniper paused, then continued, “I don’t care. Luella is a good person, and so are you. If you two can be together, I’d be happy.”
Originally, Luella wanted to reject him outright, but she was afraid Jimmie would lose his mind on the spot.
Thinking it over for a night might give her time to find a better excuse to let him down gently.
“Understood.” Getting the answer he wanted, the corners of Jimmie’s mouth lifted. “Juniper, thank you.”
“Heh.” Juniper rubbed her nose awkwardly and muttered under her breath.
He was thanking her too early. If Jimmie ever found out Luella’s true identity, she wondered if he would blame her for keeping it a secret.
After Jimmie left, Luella came out and said goodbye to Juniper.
“Your flight is the day after tomorrow, I’ll see you off,” Juniper said.
“No need.” Luella shook her head, looking completely drained of energy. “It’s too early. You don’t have to come.”
“Actually, you and Jimmie aren’t completely impossible…” Juniper murmured. “Plenty of celebrities have secret relationships and never get caught

“It’s not the same.” Luella shook her head, a bitter smile on her lips. “Too many eyes in Stellara Country are fixed or me if they find out about Jimmie, who knows what they would do to target him.”
Staying away was also a way to protect him.
Hearing the words, Shanley’s opinion of Luella improved.
“I’m off.” Luella patted Juniper’s arm, flashing a free-spirited smile.
Then the door closed.
Juniper went back to the sofa, pulled a throw pillow against her chest, and propped her chin on her hands.
“What are you thinking about?” Shanley walked over and wrapped his arms around her. “How can you be so calm about Luella and Jimmie being together?”
“What else can I do?” Juniper naturally leaned into his embrace, playing with his fingers, speaking carelessly. “Kill them?”
Besides, with Luella and Jimmie together, she actually felt quite reassured.
“I just think you’re unusually calm. Shanley tilted Juniper’s face toward him his dark eyes locked onto hers a faint smirk on his lips. “Juniper, what were you just smiling about?”
“I can’t tell you yet. You’ll find out in the future.”
Juniper gave a vague answer.
“The future?”
