< Chapter 66Â
Chapter 66.Â
With his paranoid personality, he really couldn’t tolerate any flaws!Â
Thought of something.Â
Juliette turned on her phone-Â
She wasn’t doing well, and she definitely wouldn’t let Jovana have it easy.Â
MenuÂ
Here.Â
Armando and Jovana went back to the hospital room.Â
away…Â
He held her right hand, which was red in the palm, and rubbed it gently with concern,”Does it hurt?”Â
Jovana looked indifferent, pressed her lips together without saying anything, and pulled her handÂ
“If anyone messed with you again, don’t use your hands, just kick them or grab something to use. If anything happened, I’d take the blame for you.”Â
Armando didn’t let her get her way, pressed her palm lightly with his fingertip, then got an ice pack to helpÂ
her cool it down.Â
Hearing Armando’s bossy and rude words, Jovana froze for a moment, and it felt like a hook caught her heart, hurting her badly.Â
She looked down, her eyes clouded.Â
In a daze, she remembered that when she was bullied before, he said the same thing to her.Â
It was just a simple sentence, but it gave her a strong sense of security.Â
But now, she almost got bullied by Zachary, and he just stood by and did nothing.Â
Actually, some things between them had already changed.Â
Jovana blinked her sore eyes and pulled her lips.Â
Armando didn’t see her bitter look, opened the outer bag, took out the lunchbox, opened it, and fed herÂ
himself.Â
It was tortellini and crepes.Â
I could tell by the smell it was that restaurant next to the high school.Â
Jovana loved this the most.Â
He thought what she liked was the taste of tortellini, so he brought it to her every morning in high school.Â
Actually, what she loved was his deep affection… Those eyes full of love were deeply imprinted in her heart and were hard to forget.Â
At this moment.Â
The steaming aroma made Jovana’s eyes water.Â

She swallowed her bitter throat and said, “Armando, the taste changed…”Â
Armando paused, didn’t catch her hint, tried one himself, and laughed, “Tastes the same, right? TryÂ
another bite.”Â
Jovana bit her lip and didn’t say anything.Â
My heart had already turned into a pool of bitterness.Â
MaÂ
She let out a breath and said softly, “Just now Juliette and the others kept mentioning San Diego. Actually, she was talking about Harland. Do you suspect me too?”Â
At this point, Jovana decided to come clean with him. She didn’t want to cause Harland any troubleÂ
because of her.Â
The words were out.Â
Armando’s expression changed in an instant.Â
He lowered his eyes, a cold shadow under his lashes. The veins stood out on the back of his hand holding the lunchbox, running all the way up his forearm.Â
Men all had a bad side, especially toward their own women. How could they not be suspicious? No one could accept the shame of being cheated on.Â
Armando looked calm on the outside, but inside he was freaking out!Â
Jovana said softly, “I can tell you clearly, there’s nothing between me and Harland. He helped me a few times, and I’m just grateful, that’s all. Don’t let your mind wander, and don’t listen to what others say.”Â
Jovana was exhausted. She didn’t want any more trouble, just wanted to leave quietly…Â
But when Armando heard this, it sounded a bit like she was defending him. When had Jovana ever talked to him this much these days? Now she was going on and on just for some guy.Â
Armando’s profile was tense, and his tongue pressed hard against his back teeth.Â
He rubbed his fingertip against her soft cheek and smiled, saying, “I told you, I trust you. Our Vana already gave the order, of course I’ll listen.”Â
Jovana stared at him for a few seconds, felt he wasn’t joking, and then got serious.Â
Didn’t see the darkness hidden in the man’s eyes.Â
He believed Jovana for now.Â
But Harland, they were all men, he sure didn’t think he had any bad intentions!Â
Looks like it was time to meet this person.Â
Suddenly.Â
A burst of phone ringing broke the silence in the hospital room.Â
Armando frowned, took his phone out of his suit pocket and glanced at it, his eyes darkening for aÂ
moment.Â
He rubbed the top of her head, handed her the lunchbox, and told her to eat well, “I’m going to take a call,Â

wait for me.”Â
Jovana just said yeah softly.Â
Armando left the hospital room and found a quiet corner to take the call.Â
“Mr. Dunbar, we found out.”Â
