My Beloved Volume Chapter 207 Jared’s Invitation

‘Why would he call me last night?’ Han Luo wondered. Her gaze landed on several text messages from her friend.

She thought, ‘What was so important for him to send me these many texts in one go?’ Han Luo checked the text messages and read through them one by one.

‘Luo, what are you doing?’

‘Luo, where are you?’

‘Are you busy?’

‘Pick up the phone, damn it!’

‘How come you fell asleep so early?’

‘I have something to tell you. Pick up the phone!’

‘All right, since you won’t answer my call, let me tell you why I’m calling you. Do you remember Silvia, the famous ballet dancer from America? She came to London last night. She will stay here for a week. Miss Rihanna confirmed the news last night. I’ve already got the address where she is staying. I’m going to meet her today after school. Do you want to go with me? It’ll be great if we can perform together with her. You don’t have class tests this week, right? Let me know your answer before lunch!’

Han Luo became excited after knowing that her favorite ballet dancer Silvia was in London. It was such a rare opportunity to meet her here.

However, at the mention of the class test, her shoulders slumped in defeat. She murmured dejectedly to herself, “I don’t have class but I have lots of homework.”

No matter how much homework she had, her legs were itching to go out. But, when she recalled last night’s incident, her face turned pale. She clearly remembered Mo Yuan’s warning too.

‘What to do? I want to go out but I’m too scared. Big brother Yuan isn’t home either. I don’t want to take mom in case I face danger. Losing one mother is enough,’ she sat down on the bed and deeply pondered. ‘But, this is a lifetime opportunity. What should I do?’

All of a sudden, her eyes glinted as she thought of an idea. ‘Wait, why don’t I tell Jared to pick me up from here? As long as I tell him not to tell anyone that it’s big brother Yuan’s house, he won’t tell anyone anyway.’

Coming to this conclusion, she sent Jared a text in the next moment. It was break time and so, Jared replied to her almost immediately. He found out that Han Luo wasn’t at school and agreed to pick her up from her house. When he asked for the address, Han Luo sent him Mo Yuan’s home address.

After that, she hurriedly went downstairs and looked for Ma Rui. Ma Rui was in the greenhouse enjoying the greenery while drinking a piping hot lemon tea. Seeing Han Luo running toward her, she put down the cup and asked, “Luo’er what’s wrong? I thought you weren’t feeling well.”

Han Luo stopped in front of her and inhaled deeply. Afterward, She replied with a small smile, “I’m fine. I just want to inform you that I will go out after lunch.”

Ma Rui questioned her, “You’re going out? Where do you want to go? Do you want me to take you somewhere?”

When she recalled the relatively low spirited Han Luo in the morning, she thought that her cute girl didn’t have the mood to go out. That’s why Ma Rui didn’t ask her to go to the studio with her. Han Luo’s sudden change of mood puzzled her.

Han Luo shook her head. “No need mom. A friend will be coming to pick me up. We are going to meet a famous ballet dancer from America. She is my favorite. I must meet her today.” Her tone was both excited and pleading. She seemed very desperate to meet the said dancer.

“Want to meet a dancer with a friend” Ma Rui muttered softly and then asked Han Luo, “Are you perhaps talking about the boy who dances with you all the time? What was his name again? It’s Jared, right?”

Han Luo agreed, “Yes! That’s him. He is such a good friend of mine. He didn’t forget to inform me. He could have gone there all by himself but he didn’t have the heart to do that. Such a generous friend is hard to come by.” She always felt lucky that she had good friends around her who cared for her.

‘I don’t think it’s that simple,’ Ma Rui pondered deeply. She advised her, “Luo’er dear, don’t trust people so easily. You don’t know what hidden agenda they have. They might be setting a trap for you.” Afterward, she suggested, “Why don’t I take you to meet your ballet dancer?”

“Oh, mom! You are always like this,” Han Luo chuckled. “To you, every boy is decisive except for big brother Yuan. You cannot even stand big brother Ming and big brother Yujin even though they are nothing but angels. Furthermore, I don’t know the address. I cannot go there even if it’s you. Jared’s mother will drive us there. Don’t worry too much. That’s all I had to say. I’m going to play with Yin and Yan.”

After she was done speaking, she turned around and trotted away without listening to what Ma Rui had to say to her.

Ma Rui shook her head in worry. ‘What am I going to do with this child? She is so innocent for her own good. She believes in everyone. That Jared isn’t a good boy. He is a wolf in sheep’s clothing. How can I make her understand that he is trying to court her?’

A sudden realization hit her, ‘Wait, why does Luo’er insist on going there alone? Why can’t she go with me? Could it be that she likes Jared and wants to be alone with him? No freaking way! What am I going to do if it’s true?’ She began to panic.

‘My lovely child will be snatched away by a monster! I cannot take that. I have to do everything in my power to divert the attention of Luo’er from Jared to something else. But, what should I do?’ Ma Rui began to draw a plan.
