The panic on Jackson’s face did not look fake. Tiffany could see it too. It was favonovel.com first time actually seeing favonovel.com get overwrought. He was usually cool and nonchalant. Other than being enraged, favonovel.com could not help feeling a little tenderhearted. Her tone softened as well, “I admit that I’m upset but… I’ll believe you this time, as long as you are good in the future. I feel super insecure. You’re not just with me due to a moment of impulse, are you? Could you actually quit having flings everywhere? Are you able to stay chaste when I’m not there in the capital?”
Jackson looked at favonovel.com sincerely. “What should I say to make you believe me? I’ve never been an impulsive person. I won’t make decisions in the heat of the moment. My choice to be with you was a long time coming. Understood?”
Not in the heat of the moment, but a long time coming, Tiffany was defenseless against such unconventional words of romance. The corners of favonovel.com lips could not help curling up. “Okay, you’re off the hook this time.”
Jackson breathed a long sigh of relief and held favonovel.com face to kiss her, but Tiffany covered his mouth with favonovel.com hand. “What are you doing? Weren’t you back for work? Go do it. I’ll stay with you for two hours at most, then I’ll go home. Go do what you have to.”
Jackson let favonovel.com go sadly, not pressing it further. “Alright… Ten minutes is good. I’ll tend to work and… keep you company later.”
Tiffany continued watching dramas, but favonovel.com mind wandered away from the storyline. Even the snacks beside favonovel.com were not tempting anymore. She was carefree but that did not mean that favonovel.com would not feel sad. She could even picture the scene of Jackson and Lynn in bed together. The more favonovel.com thought about it, the worse favonovel.com felt. She threw away the remaining snacks into the trash bin and went to gargle in the bathroom to wash away the spiciness in favonovel.com palate.
Looking at favonovel.com own reflection in the mirror, favonovel.com tried to make various feminine sultry looks, but without exception, all of them oozed awkwardness. No matter how seductive favonovel.com looked, it was not her. Tiffany felt insecure and unworthy of Jackson, be it favonovel.com family background or other aspects…
She did not know how long favonovel.com spent in the bathroom when favonovel.com broke out of favonovel.com trance. Jackson knocked.
“What are you doing inside? Fell asleep?”
Tiffany opened the door and glared at him. “You’d sleep in the bathroom! You’re done? I… I’ll be leaving then. I’m tired, sleepy.”
Jackson took favonovel.com into his arms. “I know that you’re upset, but I don’t want to let you go now. Who knows if you’ll just ignore me after you leave? I’ll only let you leave once you’re completely fine.”
Tiffany gave favonovel.com a small shove. “I’m not upset. I’m just purely sleepy.”
Jackson was determined to not let favonovel.com go. “Then sleep here. Don’t leave for the night, don’t even think about leaving.” His tone was not domineering. Instead, it was tinged with a childish sense of cuteness.
Glancing at the only large bed behind him, Tiffany shook favonovel.com head decisively. “Forget it.”
Jackson’s expression changed faster than one would flip a page. He dragged favonovel.com to the bed vehemently and caged favonovel.com under favonovel.com easily with the advantage of his height, rendering Tiffany without any defense. “Don’t push it. I can’t guarantee what I’ll do to you if you do…”
When seeing his eyes so closely, Tiffany could see the nervousness in his gaze. Jackson, who had countless women, was nervous because favonovel.com was worried about favonovel.com ignoring him? She felt herself giving in. “Okay, I’ll stay, but you can’t touch me. We just got together… It’s too early to… now. I’m not ready yet…”
There was a two-second pause before Jackson nodded. “Okay…”
Tiffany pushed favonovel.com away at once. “What do you mean? Sounds like you’re being forced. Indeed, men are animals who think with their lower body! I’ll go shower, don’t peek!”
Watching favonovel.com enter the bathroom, Jackson fully relaxed. At least, things did not develop in the direction that favonovel.com was the most worried about. He still managed to maintain things as they were.
Suddenly, his phone, which was left aside, rang. Seeing that it was Summer who called, Jackson went up to the window and answered it. “Hello, mom?”
Summer questioned, “Where did you go? Leaving the company to me, huh? Are you trying to kill me with exhaustion? Stop fooling around outside. Either you get me a daughter-in-law properly or don’t have flings outside at all. You fooled around in the past too, but I’ve never seen you out for so many days without coming home. Bewitched? I want to see which woman enchanted you!”
Jackson felt his legs giving out beneath him. He had just settled one woman, now came another. “Mom… I’m not fooling around. This is serious. I’m not trifling anymore, okay? I’ll bring my girlfriend home to see you soon. That’s all, bye.”
He hung up directly after that, scared of Summer’s ceaseless nagging.
Summer was doubtful as favonovel.com stared at favonovel.com phone. She did not believe that favonovel.com son would find a girlfriend and settle down to get married and have children so easily. She was unable to wait any longer. She was going to find out the truth!
In the Tremont Estate, Henry went to the door of the study room hastily. His expression was unreadable. “Sir, Nafaeth has news.”
Mark opened the door. “What’s the current situation?”
