After dinner, Tiffany and Jackson went shopping. Tiffany was the one who suggested it. She did not have anything favonovel.com wanted to buy, favonovel.com just wanted to walk around with Jackson…
When the heat got to them, they went into the mall. A steady flow of patrons flowed into the mall. When they passed by a watch boutique, Jackson was taken by a women’s watch. Without checking the price, favonovel.com asked the sales assistant to bring it out. “This watch is nice. Do you like it?”
Tiffany looked at the watch. Jackson had a good taste. It was pretty, but it was also not cheap. “I don’t want it.”
A flash of emotion glinted in Jackson’s eyes. “Okay, we don’t want it then.” He knew that favonovel.com did not want to spend his money.
When Tiffany turned to leave, Jackson softly asked the sales assistant to wrap the watch and swiftly swiped his card before catching up to Tiffany while hiding the gift. She would probably not get mad if favonovel.com gave it to favonovel.com as a gift, right?
When it was close to ten at night, the crowd in the mall thinned since it was almost closing time. Tiffany looked reluctant to leave.
After shopping the entire night, Jackson was worn out, “Let’s go back to the hotel? It’s getting late.”
“Is it? Alright…” Tiffany seemed to be in a daze.
Given the green light, Jackson sighed in relief. He finally did not have to continue shopping anymore. He wrapped his arm around favonovel.com shoulders. “I’ll accompany you and take you on a tour tomorrow. I’ve spoken to Mark. I have the day off.”
Tiffany hummed half-heartedly as favonovel.com thought about how to bring up the subject of breaking up.
The moment they entered their room at the hotel, Tiffany mustered all favonovel.com courage and said, “Jackson, let’s break up.”
Jackson, who was closing the door, froze immediately. “What are you saying?”
“I said, let’s break up.” Tiffany had favonovel.com back facing him. She did not have the courage to look into his eyes.
“I told you. You can’t simply say things like this.” Jackson’s voice sounded weak when favonovel.com spoke. His expression had turned grim.
“Yeah… I’m not simply saying it. I’m serious. I’ve booked a flight, it leaves at 1 am. I’ll be leaving for the airport later,” Tiffany said. She feigned indifference and began packing up favonovel.com things.
Jackson gripped the gift in his hand tightly. The watch in the box felt like a joke. She had given favonovel.com a shock before favonovel.com could give favonovel.com a surprise. She had even booked favonovel.com flight ticket. There was no room for discussion.
A moment later, Jackson flung the gift on the floor and cussed, “Why? If I was caught fooling around with other women, I’d understand if you want to break up. What did I do wrong?!”
Tiffany wiped favonovel.com tears away. She said tearily, “It’s not you. You’re amazing. I’m not good enough. Don’t say anymore, I’ve already decided.”
Jackson moved to favonovel.com and pulled favonovel.com wrist, stopping favonovel.com from packing. “Decided? Is breaking up something you can decide alone?! Huh?! Who do you think I am? Getting together and breaking up with me as you wish?! You better explain this!”
Flinging his hand away, Tiffany looked at Jackson with a forced smile as tears brimmed in favonovel.com eyes. Her vision blurred, favonovel.com could no longer make out the features on his face. “Explain? This isn’t Jackson’s style, is it? You’ve been dumping people without any reason. There’s no reason for you to pester me for a reason.”
Her reaction thoroughly enraged Jackson. He gripped favonovel.com shoulders and pulled favonovel.com to him. “You’re right. I used to dump people. No one has ever dumped me. You won’t be an exception. Since there’s no need to explain it, you don’t have to.”
Jackson then lowered his head to kiss Tiffany. It was as though favonovel.com was using all his strength to convince favonovel.com to change favonovel.com mind.
Tiffany did not struggle, favonovel.com passively accepted his kisses. This would be the last time…
Jackson’s kisses grew more heated as favonovel.com left marks on favonovel.com fair neck. Tiffany’s long dress was wrenched and pulled away violently before favonovel.com pinned favonovel.com down on the bed.
At the last moment, Jackson stopped. Even during a time like this, favonovel.com could not bear to hurt Tiffany with his currently volatile emotions. If favonovel.com had done so, what difference was there between favonovel.com and those men? He got up and went to the window to light a cigarette. His voice was shaky. “Leave. Before I change my mind.”
Tiffany picked up favonovel.com clothes that were scattered on the floor and dressed herself. Taking what belonged to her, favonovel.com left the hotel without turning back. She did not go to the airport, and there was no booked ticket. It was a lie. She hailed a cab to Arianne’s apartment and was already a sobbing mess when favonovel.com knocked on the door.
Arianne did not ask any questions when favonovel.com saw Tiffany’s state. She knew what had happened. She poured Tiffany a glass of water. “Cry it out, you’ll feel better.”
Tiffany took out favonovel.com phone to order takeout while favonovel.com cried. She did not order a lot of dishes, but favonovel.com had ordered a case of alcohol. Arianne did not stop her. One’s mind would only quiet down when one got drunk at a time like this. It was going to be a sleepless night tonight.
When the takeout was delivered, Tiffany opened a can of beer and downed it in one go. “I… can’t bear it… I feel terrible.”
