Chapter 803
Jenny knew the timing wasn't set in stone, but she had checked with her doctor who mentioned that starting early was better to help ease menstrual cramps.
It seemed like Becky had hit her head or something, her response was sluggish.
"It's too late for that, I already started..."
Words always sprinting ahead, with her thoughts trailing behind.
After a pause, she reached out, took the cup, and downed it in one go.
"Still, thanks."
But Becky caught the real issue, "Sis, you got your period?"
"Yeah."
Jenny grabbed her phone, looking for a delivery service.
Becky caught a glimpse, "Let me do it. Some delivery guys might not be too keen on this kind of errand. I've done deliveries before."
It was Jenny's first time resorting to a delivery service for tampons.
She usually had a stash prepared.
But she had been so busy lately and then the knock on her head made her forget.
"Wait, no,"
Becky seemed to panic, "You should call Jack, he's your boyfriend. I shouldn't have mentioned it, sorry."
Jenny wasn't ashamed about her period.
Whether it was a delivery or Becky getting it, she didn't care as long as she got what she needed.
But Becky's reaction made it seem like a big deal.
"Aren't you cooking?"
"Just made some ginger tea, prepping the veggies, and there's chicken soup simmering. It won't take long, the supermarket is just across the street." Getting Jenny's drift, Becky was out the door in a flash, apron still tied around her waist.
Jenny didn't even get a chance to stop her.
But she saw Becky pause at the door.
Stepping closer, Jenny saw the stern-faced man at the entrance.
Instinctively, Jenny opened her mouth to explain, but then swallowed her words.
They had broken up; there was nothing left to explain.
Her silence only made Michael's expression darken.
He noticed the apron on Becky, one he had worn before.
He pushed past Becky and stepped closer to Jenny, his voice barely

BS You broke up
Of course, Becky wouldn't explain anything to Michael.
But he hadn't come here to cause trouble for Jenny.

Yet, Michael's mention of the breakup rooted him to the spot.
If that was all it took for a breakup, then Michael's feelings for Jenny couldn't have been that deep.
Jenny didn't want to discuss any of it right now.
"Mr. Clarkson knows we broke up. Who I have in my house is none of your business."
Michael scoffed, "No wonder."
He acted as if everything made sense, "You were so firm in front of Grandma, only to suddenly break up with me."
"You must have been planning this, waiting for a chance to tell me."
"And when was feeling guilty and apologizing, you took the
opportunity, not outright savnet
you
wanted to break up but making me agree to it."
"Ms. Thompson, you've played your cards well."
Jenny was utterly speechless.
His mind always raced to the most complicated conclusions, but she didn't feel like explaining.
In front of his grandma, it was about not showing weakness.
Breaking up seemed like the best solution to the problem at hand.

Grandma's goal was Michael. By breaking up, Grandma could relax giving Michael and his friend George a chance to find a loophole and wrap this up quickly.
Letting Becky in was simply because he had helped her. Getting played did upset her, but he wasn't really a bad guy. Just someone being used.
"So you think what you want..."
