Chereads / Billionaire's true love / Chapter 49 - Chapter 49

Chapter 49 - Chapter 49

Jason sat down on the couch in his penthouse, his thoughts were clouded by the events that happened at the mansion, rubbing his hands on his face, he groaned regretting that he almost told Sarah about her father's sins.

But he was thankful to Jake that he dragged Sarah out from there, "You should be careful before opening your mouth in front of Sarah and Claire!" Austin whispered to him as he didn't want Claire to hear their conversation making Jason nod, Claire wanted to go at Jasmine's home, but Jason insisted her to come with them as he wanted to talk about something.

He wanted to clear things between them about Jake and Sarah and he was sure that after hearing whatever Sarah said and the way he reacted, he was sure she might have a lot of questions.

Jason and Austin were sitting beside each other while Claire was sitting in front of them, she was feeling like they were going to interrogate her, "Um, is there something you want to tell me?" Claire asked.

"You might be thinking that he is very cruel to act like that to your friend, right?" Austin interrupted, he wanted to hear what she thought about Jason's behavior, Jason understood very well what his friend was trying to do, Claire was taken aback by his question, "Honestly, I have no idea why all that happened," Claire glanced at Jason who was listening to her attentively, "Maybe you guys had your reasons but the way you behaved with them was not acceptable!" Claire told them honestly.

Jason nodded his head because he was aware of that, he gritted his teeth, trying his best not to justify his actions to her. 'You are not in a real relationship, she doesn't need to know all about you!" He reminded himself.

"Are you guys hungry?" Austin asked, as he felt the atmosphere started getting tensed, "Well I'm, so why don't you go and bring something for us?" Jason asked Austin, as he wanted to talk to Claire alone,

"What! But we can order a-" Jason didn't let him finish, as he got up from the couch, dragging Austin with him towards the door, Jason opened the door for him and pushed him out, "Get something tasty, okay!" Saying that Jason shut the door on his face.

Claire was looking at the scene with shock, she didn't expect Jason to do that, they could hear Austin shout and say something, "You shouldn't have done that." Claire told him, "If I didn't do that, he wouldn't have left us alone and don't worry he won't mind." Jason assured her.

Claire nervously nodded her head, "So, is there something you want to talk about?" Jason sighed and replied, "I wanted to talk to you about Jake and Sarah." Claire looked at him in confusion and asked, "Why do you want to talk about them?"

"It's because I want to ask you something which is related to them." Jason glanced at her, he walked towards her and sat beside her on the couch, "Do you know Jake likes you?" Claire understood he wanted to know about her relationship with Jake, she nodded her head and replied, "I know."

"So, do you like him as well?" Jason asked, he didn't know why but he was hoping she would say a no, "If I liked him even a bit, I wouldn't have been sitting here with you!"

Unknowingly Jason's lips curled up in a small smile, which made Claire smile as well, "So, was this the only thing you wanted to ask?"

Jason smirked looking at her and replied, "It's good that you don't like him, but I will be happier if he stays away from you."

Claire widens her eyes as she heard him, but suddenly her shock turned into a frown, "What happen Claire?" Jason asked worriedly, hoping that he didn't say something offensive.

"Jason, aren't we are in a fake relationship?" She asked, "So, I just want to ask you that, please don't confuse me!"

Jason didn't know what to say, even though she was right he didn't like the way she put their relation as if it was a burden, he wanted to say something, but his phone rang, he saw the caller ID and frowned, "What is it?" He asked rudely, "Is Sarah with you?" Jake asked, tension laced in his voice, "No, why would she be here."

Claire was looking at him worriedly as his expression was all tensed, "Why, what happened?" He asked, "She is missing since we left from there, I can't find her!" Jake replied, he knew if someone who could find her was Jason.

"Where did you see her the last time?" Jason asked, "I saw her at our home about three hours ago." He cut the call and got up from the couch in an instance, "What happened?" Claire asked looking at his tensed behavior, "Sarah is missing." He said and took the car keys from the table in front of him and walked towards the door, "Where are you going?" She asked

"I'm going to find her," Jason replied, even though Claire was confused to see him so concerned about Sarah, she had a lot of questions to ask she knew right now wasn't the time to think about all that.

"I'll come with you." Claire said and followed him, he just nodded his head and opened the door to see Austin standing in front of them with some bags in his hand, "Oh, you guys already knew I was here, wow!"

Jason sighed and walked past him, Claire told Austin everything, he also followed them, Austin glanced at Jason and Claire, he knew Jason was tensed because he took Sarah and Jake as his family and Claire was looking a tensed because she was shocked to see Jason so tensed for the girl who loves him. 'God knows what will happen!' Austin thought as they sat inside the car,
