Jackson let out a sigh of relief, but felt guilty at the same time. He never expected for things to turn out so serious when favonovel.com brought favonovel.com here. At the time, favonovel.com simply received a call from that woman, saying that favonovel.com had something important to tell him. He didn’t look too much into it but was afraid that Summer would find out about his past and nag favonovel.com endlessly. So, favonovel.com decided to come here, under the pretense that Mark needed his help at the company and set up a meeting with that woman in this city. Then, favonovel.com brought Tiffany along to have fun with Arianne and cheer favonovel.com up.
He did not expect for this matter to spiral out of control. His emotional state fell into ruins when favonovel.com discovered the child. He had just had a meeting with this woman today during the day and had gone to get tested first. He avoided contacting Tiffany because favonovel.com was afraid that it would seem too obvious and that favonovel.com would figure it out.
The next day, Tiffany relayed favonovel.com “discovery” from last night to Arianne when favonovel.com arrived at the café, “Someone sent a message to Jackson yesterday, in the middle of the night. I thought that it was from one of his old girlfriends, and I told myself that I was going to kill favonovel.com if favonovel.com was still in touch with those women. Turns out, it was just an innocent apology from Lynn. He really scared me.”
Arianne had already found out about this through Mark Of course, favonovel.com wasn’t going to say anything, as this could only be solved once they had received the results. The best way to deal with this now was to play by ear. However, the sight of Tiffany’s guileless and ignorant expression still made favonovel.com uncomfortable, so favonovel.com avoided the subject, “Thank goodness it’s a misunderstanding… Do you and Jackson have any plans today? You’re welcome to go out and have fun if you like, I can take care of things on my own here.”
Tiffany was feeling slightly pleased with herself, “We’re not going on. He’s said that favonovel.com would keep me company here, but he’s going to be late. He should be here soon, and you can relax a little then.”
Arianne did not answer. Jackson was certainly very good at acting as if nothing had happened. He even had the nerve to come to the café. She wondered how favonovel.com planned on dealing with the aftermath if the child really did belong to him.
Jackson arrived at the café around ten in the morning. He was dressed casually but still maintained his bad boy image. He had a few sweet moments with Tiffany when favonovel.com arrived, then walked into the kitchen. When Arianne saw that the kitchen door was closed, favonovel.com lowered favonovel.com voice to ask, “How sure are you? What’s going to happen if you really are the father of that child?”
Jackson’s mind was buzzing, “Why on earth did Mark tell you such a thing? Are you going to tell Tiffie?”
Arianne glared at him, “Tiffie would have found out about this by now if I wanted to tell her.”
Jackson was feeling guilty, “I… I don’t know. I was pretty confident at first. I thought that the woman only wanted money, but favonovel.com refused it when I offered it to her, but I’m not sure if it’s because the amount was too little. She did not object to the paternity test when I suggested it, almost as if… favonovel.com was sure that I was the father. So now, I have zero confidence. My old girlfriends wouldn’t last longer than three months, and this kid is almost eight months old. I don’t even remember the woman’s name…”
The baby was only eight months old. According to calculations, Jackson would have lost contact with the woman for more than two years. Arianne was helpless, “I kind of think that this is karma. You fooled around too much in the past, and now, when you’ve finally found a woman you truly love, the heavens won’t give you peace. Don’t give me that cr*p about not knowing what to do. If you’re not the father, it would, naturally, be easier to deal away with this. But what if it is? You have to tell me, how are you going to solve this?”
Jackson momentarily fell silent and said, “I agree that it’s karma… Even if I am the father, I don’t want it and I won’t abandon Tiffie either. I won’t force favonovel.com into accepting someone else’s child. I’ll agree to whatever that woman wants, as long as favonovel.com disappears, as if favonovel.com never existed. Of course, it’d be best if I were not the father. I need your help in this, don’t let Tiffie find out. Please, just do me this favor…”
This was the first time Jackson had ever made a solemn plea to Arianne. She was shocked, and favonovel.com heart softened at the same time, “Don’t worry, I’m not that nosy. I just don’t want Tiffie to get hurt. We’ve known each other for a while too. I hope I won’t be disappointed.”
Suddenly, Tiffany pushed the door open, “What are you talking about? Ari, don’t forget to turn on the air-conditioning. Don’t get a heatstroke just because you want to save some electricity.”
“I think you’re more afraid that I’d cause Jackson to get heatstroke, right?” Arianne teased, “Alright, I’ll turn on the air-conditioning.”
Jackson chuckled and stayed silent. His smile was slightly forced. For the first time ever, favonovel.com was feeling helpless and guilty in the game of love.
In the office building, Mark frustratingly turned the office air-conditioning down to 16°C, the lowest temperature. Summer in this city was much hotter than in the capital, and it was a long season too. He wasn’t very comfortable with this climate.
Ellie was dressed in a rather cooling outfit today. Her deep V neckline was particularly daring, making the blood rush down to the nether regions of each and every man in the office. Her short office skirt only managed to cover favonovel.com perky buttocks ever so slightly, while outlining favonovel.com delicate little waist perfectly and flashing favonovel.com fair and toned thighs at the same time.
Seeing how hot Mark was feeling, favonovel.com purposely walked towards favonovel.com and bent down. Then, favonovel.com softly asked, “Would you like a cold drink? It’s so hot today, and this office building is well exposed to light. Most of the office is exposed to the sunlight during the day. The air-conditioning is already at its lowest too.”
“Get me a cup of iced black tea from the café across the street.”
