GoodReadSo Karen reckoned, if she got involved with a guy like Jeffrey, his chances of cheating were like 99.9999%. She wasn't full of herself, thinking she could be that one-in-a-million exception.
In the end, it would just be a breakup with wasted time and wasted emotions. What would be such a relationship come for? For his chiseled body, his handsome face? Karen scoffed.
Sure, he was easy on the eyes, no denying that. But after that one time he got a scar, it wasn't the same. His physique was fine, but when it came to the physical stuff, they were totally out of sync — it was agony for her! All things considered, there were no good for them to be together — just forget it.
“If you had already made up your mind not to go for it, why did you tell me you'd think about it?” “What, and you would have let me go otherwise?” Karen figured Jeffrey wasn't dumb; he should have caught on to her intentions that day.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtHim coming to ask about it today was just plain stupid.
“So, what, you're going to keep going on blind dates?” Jeffrey had to keep his cool because of the kids around.
“What's it to you? It's not like I'm your girlfriend! You talk as if I'm sneaking around behind your back.” Karen whipped out her smartphone, pulled up her WhatsApp, and showed it to Jeffrey. “See this guy at the top? My parents introduced us. We've been chatting well, no need for a formal date. We hit it off, so you might as well move on and look for your next conquest.” Karen believed that for Jeffrey, it was all about the chase — a fixation on what he couldn't have. It was just a relentless desire to win over the unattainable.
She knew his lines worked on plenty of women. With his rugged good looks, chiseled features and that bad-boy charm, he could've easily been a star. She herself had been captivated by that face, curious to see if the rumors about his prowess were true or if it was all just show.
But once you get what you're fixated on, the charm would vanish, right? As if she could bewitch Jeffrey and have him remain loyally besotted with her forever. Listen to that idea — it's not just ridiculous, it's downright delusional.
And sure enough, what did Jeffrey see from the screen of Karen's phone? The last message was a sweet “Goodnight, sleep tight!” from the guy.
Their conversation was indeed heating up.
Jeffrey was grinding his teeth hard enough to make a sound.
“Delete it, Karen. Now.” “Why on earth should | listen to you?” Jeffrey clenched his fist, “You really think | won't drag you out in front of him and give him a show he'll never forget?” “Are you out of your mind?” “Don’t make me say it again!” Karen snorted and turned to shield Abigail, ignoring him.
There were kids around. She knew Jeffrey wouldn't cause a scene.

Instantly, the phone shattered into pieces.
Passersby started staring at them, their expressions a mix of shock and curiosity.
The move left Karen stunned. Abigail and Langston were a bit scared too.
“Jeffrey, what the hell is wrong with you?” Karen hurried to embrace both kids, trying to soothe them.
“I'll get you a new one. That phone is tainted after you've used it to chat with other men!”
