Chapter 342: Token of Love

“Don’t flatter yourself! I’m not missing you. I have something for you. Come to Dragon Bay!” Jared insisted.

In truth, they were constantly thinking of each other.

“Hmph! You’re so stubborn! What is it? Why not send it?” Josephine smiled.

“You have to pick it up! Hurry!” Jared hung up.

He had a reason for wanting Josephine to visit instead of sending the pendant: he wanted her alone with him at home.

“Hmph! How dare he hang up on me!” Josephine pursed her lips, changed, and went to see Jared.

Arriving at the mansion, she tidied herself up, put on a bright smile, and entered. I need to look presentable for his parents! she thought.

However, the living room was empty except for Jared emerging from the kitchen.

Josephine glanced around, searching for his parents. She wouldn't dare be casual if they were home.

“Stop looking! My parents moved back to their old house!” Jared grinned.

Josephine sighed with relief. It wasn’t that his parents were difficult; she just felt constrained around elders and always wanted to make a good impression.

She pinched his ear. “How dare you hang up on me?” His parents’ absence emboldened her.

“Ouch!” Jared yelped, quickly apologizing. “I’m sorry! I won’t do it again!”

She released his ear. “What do you have for me?”

Jared produced the pendant. “Wear this. It’ll alert me if you’re in trouble!”

Josephine examined the jade pendant, puzzled. “Why is it only half? Where’s the other half?”

“Silly, I have the other half!” Jared showed his piece, placing it beside hers. A faint golden light flickered as they joined.

“Not bad!” Josephine smiled, putting it on. “Who’s cooking if your parents aren’t here?”

“You, of course! Why else would I ask you to come over?” Jared grinned mischievously.

Josephine rolled her eyes. “Why should I? We’re not even married, or even dating! Why would I take care of you?”

“You accepted my token of love—the pendant. You’re my girlfriend now! You have to take care of me. Besides, my mom says so!” Jared handed her a letter from Hannah. (Please remove the search engine promotion.)

Josephine blushed reading Hannah’s eagerness for a grandchild. Returning the letter, she said, “Since Mrs. Chance instructed it, I’ll stay a few days! But separate rooms! No hanky-panky!”

“Don’t worry. Do I look like that kind of guy?” Jared was overjoyed she was staying.

At that moment, despite being a ruthless murderer, Jared looked like a man experiencing his first love.

That evening, Jared sat on the couch, absorbing the area’s spiritual energy. It wasn’t much, but better than nothing; cultivation without rare herbs was difficult.
