Mark gave a slight nod while Arianne moved rather stiffly. She had not expected them to formally meet again under such circumstances. Despite favonovel.com apprehensions, favonovel.com could not chase favonovel.com out now.
Once Mark settled himself down in bed, Arianne turned to the living room after closing the door for him. Laying on the couch, favonovel.com was hit with a flurry of thoughts and was unable to fall asleep. No matter what, they had an unbreakable line between them. Seeing favonovel.com injured, of course favonovel.com would be worried.
Like her, Mark was also unable to fall asleep. He was on a video call with Jackson with a pair of Bluetooth earphones lest Arianne heard them.
When Jackson saw the wound on his forehead, favonovel.com was disdainful. “That’s all? And favonovel.com let you in?”
Mark’s exasperation was threatening to spill. “That’s all? My back’s looking like a beehive now, why else would favonovel.com have let me in? Your idea isn’t all that mighty. I got in, but she’s sleeping on the couch. She didn’t even spare me an extra word. What do I do now? I’ll give you another chance.”
Jackson was laughing to his heart’s content. “Go big or go home, huh? How did it become a beehive? But that’s all you can hope for right now. You can’t expect to succeed in one step. It’s already good that favonovel.com let you in. Repairing a relationship is very difficult. You need to take it slow. Even if I asked you to force it now, would you have the strength to do it? It’s either you use force right from the start or you take it slow like now. Since you’ve gotten yourself hurt now, you shouldn’t change your strategy, or it’d be in vain. C’mon, tell me, how did you get yourself into this state?”
Mark no longer wanted to mention the source of his frustration. “Get out! There has to be a way even if I’m taking it slow, right? What do I do next?”
Jackson pondered for a moment and said, “Keep yourself there. Just say that you haven’t arranged for a place to stay since you just got there and you didn’t bring anyone with you. She can’t ask you to stay in the hotel alone, now, can she? Now that you’re staying under the same roof as her, find a chance to get close to her. You have to express your regret. I wish you luck in melting favonovel.com determination!”
Mark did not want to listen to unconstructive nonsense from Jackson so favonovel.com hung up the video call directly.
Regret? How was be supposed to make up for that? Express his regret in place of his mother? His mother had done it for him…
Getting to stay here at Arianne’s was not a walk in the park. Arianne would rather call Henry to take care of favonovel.com than take care of favonovel.com herself. Mark knew that favonovel.com had to consider things carefully. After some time, favonovel.com could only inform Henry and Mary not to pick up Arianne’s calls, and favonovel.com would lie that favonovel.com had given them a long break.
At the White Water Bay villa in the capital, Jackson called Tiffany on video after talking to Mark This was his daily routine.
Tiffany answered the call, hiding in favonovel.com room. She had just taken a shower and was wearing thin pajamas with damp hair. “What’s up? My mom’s home…”
Jackson was unfazed. “ So? You haven’t told favonovel.com that it’s serious between us this time, have you? She doesn’t know yet?”
Tiffany nodded. “Yeah, I haven’t told favonovel.com yet. She’s quite happy about me being back out of the blue, and I didn’t get the chance to tell her. I’ll look for an opportunity after this.”
This ruffled Jackson. “It’s not anything embarrassing. Why do you have to look for an opportunity? I’ll give you one day. If you don’t tell favonovel.com tomorrow, I’ll go visit favonovel.com myself. Also, you haven’t seen me since you came back. When are we meeting? How am I supposed to spend this lengthy night alone?”
Tiffany glared at him. “Quit it. You think I don’t know what you’re thinking? I just came back. Let me spend a few days with my mom. She’s asking me to find a job. I’m going to be occupied for a while. Have fun on your own, but not too much fun. If I find out that you looked for other girls, I’ll kill you.”
Jackson was unsettled. “I won’t go to other women. You can come to my company if you want a job. It’s not an issue. You meeting up with me doesn’t affect you spending time with your mom either. I want to see you now. Can I pick you up?”
Tiffany was persuaded. They were in the honeymoon period of their date. She would be lying if favonovel.com said that favonovel.com did not miss him. They were in the same city and they could not even see each other, but favonovel.com did not want to see favonovel.com too frequently. When they started dating, Tiffany had looked up a lot of dating advice and concluded that when dating a man like Jackson, favonovel.com had to keep favonovel.com hanging to maintain the mystery and novelty. Once it wore off, they would have problems!
Thinking about it, favonovel.com refused, “No, I’m going to sleep. My mom isn’t out for mahjong tonight. She’s home. I’m keeping favonovel.com company. I’ll hang up now.”
Before Jackson could say anything, the video call ended. He took his car keys and headed out at once to go to Tiffany’s place. “I’m downstairs at your house. I’ll go up if you don’t come now. Stop finding excuses to not see me. What’s going on? We were fine when we came back. Why are you so reluctant to see me suddenly? Come down and explain!”
