Love Mission: Ex-wife Strikes Back

"Dear, stop thinking about it." Barton decided for Jean, then and there. He smiled and placed the card in her hand. "The food's really good! Let's eat some more."

"Dad, thank you!" Jean looked at Barton with gratitude.

"Silly girl." Barton also grinned. He was very happy that he could help his daughter.

Clutching the card in her hand, Jean was overjoyed deep inside. She had been worrying about how and what to say, but everything turned out very smoothly.

"Yes, I did it on purpose. What's so wrong with that?" Mandy knew she was cornered so she just spilled the beans. "I think Barton has feelings for me. Why can't I make a move?"
