Chapter 134

Jack had worn this outfit once before, but seeing him in it again still made Bella pause for a moment. He stood tall, looking effortlessly sharp. Her heart thumped hard against her chest, but she quickly covered it up with a casual shrug. "It's… alright. I guess you won't embarrass me too much." In reality, she loved the way he looked in it. Jack smirked. "That's good enough for me. I guess I'll wear this when I meet your dad." Bella nodded. "Yeah. I'll text you when he gets here." With that settled, she left, and Jack got back to work. He sat down at his desk, booted up his computer, and immersed himself in programming, fine-tuning the mechanics for his latest game project. Hours passed without him realizing it. By the time his eyes started to ache from staring at the screen, he finally leaned back, stretched his arms, and checked his phone. It was already 5:00 pm. He reached for his phone to call Bella, only to brush against something soft accidentally.
