Chapter 10
After hours of travel, my plane
landed in Austin.

I pulled out my phone, receiving a
text: I’m at the airport. Where are you?
“Just arrived.”
As I replied, I saw Jake in the
terminal. He was dressed impeccably,
looking like a gentleman of the old school,
gracious and mannerly. He checked his
phone, then looked up, searching for me.
As he saw me, he waved and walked over.
I was stunned. My naughty
childhood rival had changed a lot.
“Wow, surprised?” he teased.“After
we’re married, you can stare at me all day.”
I rolled my eyes. “Narcissism never leaves you.”
He took my luggage, opened the car door, and placed it in the trunk. He
smiled as he drove.
“Don’t I deserve narcissism?”
fell silent, looking at his sharp
features. He was incredibly handsome,
and I never denied that. He seemed like a
playboy, yet he was extremely innocent.
I heard that he never dated after high

turned to me.“And… I wished it was true.
I’m really lucky.”
What he said stunned me. Not the
first time?
My mind raced, trying to figure out
what he meant. He was talking about that
I moved to Dallas for Grant? And he said
he was lucky?
My ears flushed. I stammered, “You…
like me?”
The light turned green. He laughed.”
Yes. And I like you even longer than you
like Grant.”
He knew that I went to a distant city
and stayed there for Grant, who didn’t
appreciate me. He had been waiting for
this day for a long time.
