Chapter 960

What was Phoebe disappointed about? Was it his character? Or something else? Jack had no clue.

After returning to his dorm, Jack tossed and turned on his bed. He wanted to call Phoebe, but after contemplating for a long time, he eventually sent her a message.

"I acted too rashly today. I'm sorry!"

Although he didn't mean his apology, comforting Phoebe was necessary.

He thought Phoebe would ignore him, but to his surprise, she replied quickly, "Let what happened today be behind us. Let's not speak of it again."

Phoebe replied with a voice message. Her tone was flat, but it carried her usual tenderness.

Jack replied with a text, "Are you still angry?"

"No. After all, I'm partly responsible."

He never thought Phoebe would feel responsible for it. It sounded like she was blaming herself. How was she responsible for any of this?

Of course, she had invited Jack for a walk by the lake, which led to Jack taking advantage of her. She was breathtakingly beautiful. No normal man could resist her.

A sly thought flickered through Jack's mind. He nearly wrote a text to thank Phoebe for being his true kindred spirit, suggesting they take another walk by the lake sometime.

However, he reined himself in and replied, "So, you won't start avoiding me now, will you?"

After all, since he had crossed the line with Phoebe, he might as well fight for the best possible outcome.

Phoebe sent a voice message with a soft scoff. To Jack, she didn't sound angry.

Perhaps Phoebe realized her tone was odd and appeared more like flirting instead of actually blaming him, so she quickly sent another voice message.

"Jack, you should settle your matters with Feena for now. It's getting late. I want to sleep now. Good night."

As expected, Phoebe no longer replied to any messages from Jack after that.

Jack was secretly delighted that Phoebe wasn't angry at him anymore.

A woman's heart was still an enigma he couldn't decipher, but regardless of what it meant, what happened with Phoebe today was over And wasn't a total disaster.

Jack found himself too elated to sleep, so he headed to the campus convenience store, bought a bottle of cheap white wine, and sat alone on the dormitory's balcony. He drank until his world started spinning before staggering back to his dorm.

The next day, Jack remained asleep until 10:00 am when a rapid-sounding ringtone woke him. It was Phoebe calling.

In a daze, he answered, "What's up, Phoebe?"

"You're still sleeping?" Phoebe's voice carried a trace of suspicion. After all, it was past 10:00 am.

"I had a bit to drink last night, so I overslept," Jack replied, instantly sobering up. The fact that Phoebe would call meant she wasn't angry anymore.

Upon hearing he had been drinking, Phoebe couldn't help but chide him gently Didn't tell you not to drink? It's bad for your health. Why did you do it again?"
