Meanwhile , Jude's plate sat in front of him , barely touched and steak going cold . Unbelievable ! He hadn't looked at Maurice once all night . His eyes had been glued to Tilda's table the whole time ! He really ditched his bros for a girl ! The worst part ? Tilda hadn't even glanced in Jude's direction ! From the looks of it , Jude was the one acting like a simp . Honestly , if anyone had told Maurice before that Jude - the powerful CEO of DY Group and the youngest Bells heir - would end up chasing after a girl who clearly didn't care , he would've called them crazy . But now ? He was starting to believe it . Everyone meets their match eventually . The ones you can't have always stir your heart , and the ones who know they've got your heart never hold back . Maurice really wanted to tease him . But with Jude , pushing too far was basically asking to die . Forced to submit under Jude's tyrannical pressure , he decided to just imagine poking a mini Jude voodoo doll in his head instead . At that moment , Alfie strolled over . He was now dressed in casual clothes and had loosened his tie , looking completely relaxed . " All done with work , " he announced as he slid into the seat next to Jude . He'd barely sat down when Jude asked coolly , " What did you say to Tilda earlier ? " * pift ... 1/44 DO 4 23:53 Thu , Sep 4 Chapter 29 Everyone Meets Their Match Eventually Alfie almost choked trying not to laugh . 林 家 76 % +10 Free Coins But he held it in - because like Maurice , he wasn't dumb enough to laugh in front of Jude when he looked that serious . He was pretty sure Jude would snap if pushed too far . " Jude , when Maurice told me about this yesterday , I didn't buy it . But now I totally do . " This is the first time I've seen you care about a girl . Are you actually into her ? " Maurice immediately chimed in , " Hey ! What do you mean you didn't believe me ? I've never lied to you , have I ? " " Come on , no one would believe it . Jude likes someone ? That's hard to imagine . " " Alfie ! " Alfie was still arguing with Maurice when Jude said his name in a cold , sharp voice that made him sit up straighter . " Look , I was just doing my job , okay ? Don't get worked up . I'd never chase a buddy's girl . Don't treat me like the enemy . " He raised both hands like he was surrendering . If Jude got the wrong idea , even being his best friend wouldn't save him . " But the girl you like isn't just anyone . I checked - she used a VIP card to book her table." Maurice's eyes lit up . " Wait , what ? Those cards are almost impossible to get unless you've got serious connections . " " Exactly . So she's definitely not just some average girl . But let's be real - anyone you're interested in probably has something special going on ." Alfie glanced at Jude , waiting for a reaction . But Jude just pressed his lips together and said nothing . Suddenly ... Buzz ! Jude's phone buzzed . He looked at the screen , and his eyes flickered for a second when he saw the sender . Tilda . He quickly opened the message . Thanks for tonight .

Then , he stared at her contact name . 76 % +10 Free Coins Alfie didn't see who Jude was texting and urged him , " Jude , what's so interesting on your screen ? Spill it already . Let us check her out for you . " Jude locked his phone and said calmly , " She has the same blood type I do - Omega type ." Maurice's eyes widened . " Wait , for real ? She's the one who can save you from insomnia ?! " " And what else ? " Alfie and Maurice leaned in closer , eyes full of curiosity . Jude ignored their excitement and pushed his plate away . " This steak's cold . Bring me another one . " " You've gotta be kidding ," Alfie groaned . Is Jude seriously acting all mysterious now ? Since when did he like to keep things to himself ? The old Jude was always straightforward - he either said everything or nothing at all . Still , Maurice noticed something weird . Right after Jude checked his phone , his entire mood shifted - he looked lighter , almost like he was in a good mood . He must've been texting Tilda . Later that night , Tilda dropped Una off at her house , " See you tomorrow , Tilda ! " " Yeah , get some rest " After watching her friend head inside , Tilda glanced down at her phone . She saw the messages Jude had sent - not just one , but two - and realized he'd even sent her a smiling emoji . Ahem . Her fingers gently traced the edge of her phone screen . 3/4 23:53 Thu , Sep 4 Chapter 29 Everyone Meets Their Match Eventually Should I reply ? Maybe not .
