“i told you not to have good expectations from me,” when jade brought him here to meet her family, it was supposed to be her cousins wedding at the estate but it became a giant mess during the reception. parents fighting, uncle getting sent to the hospital, and her mom having offered jade’s boyfriend money to break up. she of course left out that she was the daughter of one of the biggest oil rigs owners in the country when they started dating because she liked being normal and not having the drama following her. “now you know why i live in that apartment and work at the animal hospital- so you can leave now, i won’t stop you it is a lot.”
“gotta admit, i’m a little insulted you think this is all it would take to run me off.” it hadn’t taken him much to gather she wasn’t being completely open with him, but jade being a private person hadn’t bothered him. darian would have laughed at her assertion if it wasn’t clear how much this was all affecting her. in his mind, of all the things she could have been keeping tucked away, a rich dysfunctional family came as almost a relief. “i will say that i’m less concerned bout inviting you to thanksgiving this year.”
