Chapter 507: Fake relationship

Jenny opened her mouth to speak but closed it back falling loss for words. Blinking her eyes she composed her expression and said," I am not interested in your type. I just don’t want to be the one who rejects you"

"And why is that so?" he asked making her frown.

Jenny stared at him doubtfully, wondering why was he suddenly getting curious about her, however, she simply brushed off those fleeting thoughts and answered. "I have my reasons"

Gavin bobbed his head in understanding before speaking up" But what if I say I can’t do that and even I have the same reasons as you for being the source of rejection"

Jenny’s mouth parted in disbelief as she watched him smile. Gavin knew both Jenny and him weren’t interested in this blind date thing, but were forced to meet each other because of their parents, and to stop them from continuing this ritual, he came up with an idea that would benefit both.

Jenny who had been looking at him with narrow eyes heard him speak.

"How about we agree to our parents and date each other for a while? In that way, they won’t force us to go on blind dates anymore and after a few months we can end this fake relationship"

Gavin’s words caught Jenny off guard and she quickly declined," No!... I don’t want to" she spat shaking her head in denial.

Jenny didn’t want to get involved with anyone even if it was fake. She didn’t want to betray Landon by letting someone take his place. She would never bring herself to accept anyone.

Gavin creased watching her decline his offer. The way her eyes widened as she refused him, he could see the lingering gleam of fear arousing in them.

Staring at her for a few seconds, he sighed. "The be the one to reject me," he said and got up to leave.

Jenny gaped at him in shock as she watched him leave. Gavin had just walked past her seat when she turned and stopped him.

"Gavin wait!" her voice instantly stopped his steps and he turned to look at her.

Getting up from her seat, Jenny carefully approached him. At the back of her mind, she wanted to keep declining his offer, but her rational mind wanted her to accept it.

Jenny came to realize that Gavin’s offer wasn’t that bad and it was her only way to stop her parents from setting her up with anyone. Being in a fake relationship wasn’t a big deal when they would eventually break up.

With that thought in mind, Jenny pushed all her doubts and said," I agree"

Gavin cocked his brows amusingly before giving her a nod. A sense of enlightenment crossed his head as he reached his hand towards her for a handshake " Let’s do it then" he said.

Jenny took a deep breath and grabbed his hand, giving him a nod in agreement.

Meanwhile, Grace who was pacing back and forth inside her room suddenly stopped and shot her head in the direction of her phone.

"Should I just call him?" she said, scanning her eyes on the people sitting on the couch.

Tristan, Ashley, and Gwen gave their mother a confusing look before they turned their head toward Trevor, who seemed least bothered by her reaction.

Ever since Gavin went on the blind date, Grace had been having a bad thought. The uneasy feeling inside her chest didn’t seem to calm. She wondered whether Gavin was able to charm the girl even though she knew the possibilities were less, still, she didn’t want him to get rejected without putting in any effort.

When no one said a word, Tristan took the initiative to speak on everyone’s behalf.

" Mom, it’s been only an hour since Gavin left. Don’t you think it would be appropriate for us to disturb him like that" he said signaling the rest as they understood his hint and responded with their head bobbing like kids.

"Yes Mom, brother is right. I don’t think we should call him right now" Gwen added, fully supporting her brother’s words.

Grace dropped her shoulder in defeat when both her kids declined her wish." Is that so?" she mumbled and watched all three of them nod.

Left with no other choice, Grace returned to her seat. Sitting next to Trevor she sighed. "I just hope Jenny won’t reject him" she repeated those same words she once said to Trevor, leaving the rest confused.

"Mom, why are you so desperate for Gavin to marry that girl? If she doesn’t like him, she has the right to reject him and vice versa. We just can’t force them" Gwen stated.

"I think Gwen is right Mom" It was Ashley who spoke this time, agreeing with Gwen’s mature thoughts. Both Jenny and Gavin had the right to choose their life partners after all.

Grace knew they were right, but deep down she knew Jenny was the one for Gavin and she would be the happiest to see her lead a happy life.

After the agreement, both Jenny and Gavin walked out of the restaurant. Since it was too early for them to return, Gavin turned to look at Jenny and said," Mind joining for a drive. It’s too early for us to leave"

Jenny gave him a thoughtful look before agreeing to his idea and soon they drove away from there.

"By the way, where do you want to go?" Gavin asked. His eyes were focused on the road but his ears waited for her response.

"Anywhere, where there is silence," she said in a whisper, before looking out of the window.

Jenny’s heart had not been at peace ever since she agreed with him, but now that the deal was final she couldn’t step back. Letting someone step into your life even though it was fake, Jenny still couldn’t help but feel horrible. But if this was the only way to stop her mother from pestering her, then she had to put up with this act.

Slowly closing her eyes, Jenny tried to ease her mind unknown of the eyes that kept looking her way.

’Why do I find myself getting drawn to you’ Gavin said staring at her lonely figure from the side, suddenly feeling the urge to engulf her in his embrace, just like how he did at the coffee shop.
