The smile on Tiffany’s face faded. Why did Ethan have to choose White Water Bay Café of all places? Or did favonovel.com choose it because of Jackson? She really wanted to explain to favonovel.com that there was nothing between Jackson and her, yet favonovel.com just couldn’t bring herself to say it every time the words reached favonovel.com lips.
Aside from spending money frivolously, Lillian also knew how to read a situation. She knew that there was more reason for Ethan to choose White Water Bay Café than it seemed on the surface. “Fine with me, it sounds like a decent place.”
When favonovel.com left the two of them to change favonovel.com clothes, Tiffany finally couldn’t hold herself back anymore. “Ethan, there’s no need for that. There’s really nothing between me and Jackson.”
Ethan’s gaze turned hard. “If that’s the case, then dining there isn’t an issue, right? You should be comfortable and prove to me that there’s really nothing between you two. My patience has a limit. Since I’ve already taken things to this extent, you should consider giving me a reply as soon as you can. I sincerely want to marry you.”
Tiffany bit favonovel.com lip silently. Why was favonovel.com never this uncomfortable with Ethan in the past? Now that favonovel.com thought about it, Ethan would never care if favonovel.com liked someone else in the past, or if favonovel.com was grabbing a meal or a drink with another guy. Did favonovel.com change because favonovel.com started to care about her?
The atmosphere was getting a little tense, so favonovel.com chose to escape to favonovel.com mother’s room. “I’ll go see if mom is ready. ”
Closing the door behind her, Tiffany let out a long sigh of relief before hissing softly, “Mom, why did you agree to go to the White Water Bay Cafe? Won’t you feel awkward if we run into Jackson there?”
Lillian wasn’t really bothered. “You were only putting up an act with Jackson anyway. What’s there to be awkward about if it’s a fake relationship? Or is there really something between you and him? Since you were always so picky about the blind dates I set up for you, you better appreciate it now that a good man like Ethan is taking the initiative to reconcile with you. I used to look down on favonovel.com because favonovel.com was poor, but he’s actually turned out to be Mark Tremont’s younger brother now. If you marry into the Tremont family, we’ll never have to worry about money again in our entire lives. You better not screw it up. You said you didn’t like those other men, but Ethan is your first love of three years. I’m sure you have nothing else to say about him, right?”
Tiffany knew that favonovel.com mother was an easily influenced person, so favonovel.com no longer bothered to argue with her.
They seated themselves at the main dining hall at White Water Bay Café. Lillian unceremoniously ordered the most expensive dishes. Just when the bill was reaching a four-digit figure, Tiffany gave favonovel.com a reminder. “Mom, there’s only the three of us here. We won’t be able to finish the food.”
Lillian threw a glance at Ethan then ended favonovel.com order with a bottle of red Wine that cost nearly a thousand dollars. “This is the first time my soon-to-be son- in-law is treating me to a meal, you don’t have to be that stingy. Why are you taking his side before you’re even married to him?”
Maybe because favonovel.com was in a good mood, Ethan didn’t seem to care. “Don’t worry about it, Tiffie. Just order what you ladies want to eat. It’s my turn to repay all the kindness that I’ve received from the Lane family in the past.”
One was happily spending money while the other was happily footing the bill. Tiffany felt like favonovel.com shouldn’t even be here at all.
Tiffany was relieved that they didn’t run into Jackson here this time. Maybe favonovel.com wasn’t here today. After their meal, Lillian suggested going shopping when they came out of the café. Ethan continued to ‘spoil’ Lillian unconditionally. The entire situation made Tiffany feel a sense of powerlessness. She remained passive the entire time, going along with the plans that were arranged by someone else. She wasn’t even given a chance to make any decision. This was awakening favonovel.com rebellious side because favonovel.com wasn’t willing to have someone else decide favonovel.com life for her.
She questioned herself whether favonovel.com still loved Ethan.
Her answer was ‘not sure’. Yes, favonovel.com had no idea if favonovel.com still did. Their intimate moments would still make favonovel.com blush and his gentleness would still make favonovel.com heart skip a beat. Yet, something was still missing compared to when they were dating back then. She just couldn’t figure out what was missing.
When Tiffany returned to favonovel.com workplace on Monday, favonovel.com made the decision to resign.
She knew Ethan’s personality well enough to know that favonovel.com would feel uneasy as long as favonovel.com didn’t resign. Her resignation was the only way to reduce the fights between them. Since favonovel.com didn’t reject him, then favonovel.com might as well just try to make the relationship work again. If favonovel.com could find back the same feelings favonovel.com had for favonovel.com back then, that would mean favonovel.com still loved him, right?
She knocked on Jackson’s office, holding favonovel.com resignation letter in hand with a heavy heart.
Soon enough, his husky voice rang out from inside. “Come in.”
She took a deep breath and pushed the door open, then entered his office and placed the resignation letter on his desk. “Thank you for everything you have done for me, Mr. West.”
Jackson swept his gaze over the resignation letter emotionlessly then hit favonovel.com with a casual question. “What’s wrong? Going home to be a full-time wife?”
She forced a smile. “No, only to assure Ethan. Men can be very scary when they are jealous. Since I’ve decided to restart our relationship, we’ll have to give each other a sense of security. I’ve really enjoyed working here, and I’m even a bit reluctant to leave.”
He picked up favonovel.com resignation letter and read every word. “Don’t leave if you’re reluctant to… ”
Tiffany thought that favonovel.com ears were playing tricks on favonovel.com because Jackson didn’t look like favonovel.com was cracking a joke. “Pardon?”
When Jackson lifted his gaze again to look at her, a frivolous smile bloomed across his face. “Never mind. I’ll sign it later. Just do the paperwork before you leave today and handover your work. You may pick up your pay from the finance department.”
She nodded then turned to leave. The moment favonovel.com was about to step out of his office, Jackson called out to her. “Hey…”
