Girl Get Rid Of That Jerk (Williams and Shawn) novel Chapter 469

The party had finally wrapped up.

On the drive home, Javier glanced over. “So, Allie, how’d it go with Eason?”

Allison shrugged, playing it casual. “It was fine. We swapped numbers and everything.”

Javier perked up, clearly hopeful. “That’s great! The Zackon family is a perfect match for us, and Eason’s not only good-looking but also talented. You two should really see where things go.”

Allison’s face didn’t give anything away. Her voice was steady. “You can’t rush these things, Dad. Feelings have to happen naturally.”

Javier pressed on, “But feelings can grow, you know? The more time you spend together, the more likely you’ll click.”

Allison’s tone cooled, her expression unchanged. “Dad, I’ve told you—I’m focused on my career right now.”

Javier heard the edge in her voice and let it drop with a sigh.

Back at the Owens house, Allison went straight upstairs, her expression as distant as ever.

She passed Linda in the hallway, offering only a quick, expressionless hello.

Linda greeted her with a smile, but after Allison disappeared upstairs, she turned to Javier, concern in her voice. “What’s up with Allie? She seemed upset.”

Javier sank onto the living room sofa as a housekeeper brought him some tea. He let out another sigh. “I introduced her to that Zackon boy at the party, and I might’ve pushed a little on the way home. She didn’t like it.”

Linda joined him, frowning. “You know she hates when you bring that stuff up. Last time you mentioned it at dinner, she was annoyed. Why do it again?”

Javier shook his head. “The Zackon boy’s a solid choice, and I just want what’s best for her. I’ve known his family forever. We all agree it’d be a good match. Our families are equals—Allie would be treated right.”

Allison was instantly hooked.

She decided right then she’d wear it to Carolyn’s yacht party that Saturday.

Stepping into the shop, Allison was immediately recognized by a sales associate, who noticed the high-end designer outfit she already had on.

“Welcome!” The associate greeted her with a bright smile. “Can I help you with anything?”

Allison pointed to the blue dress. “Yes, could you wrap that one up for me?”
