Tiffany immediately rejected the offer. “No need, I can do it myself.”
He stared at her, narrowing his eyes. “Why? Are you scared?”
She chuckled. “Scared? Of you? Please. If I’m scared of you, my last name isn’t Lane. I don’t like sitting in your car. What? Stop provoking me.”
The corners of his lips curled into a surreptitious smile. “You don’t like my car? As if you’re going to get a cab by standing here. Stop dallying and wasting time.”
There was no doubt it was uncomfortable standing in the cold. She struggled internally. She was going to collect Summer’s jewelry, and there was nothing wrong with getting a ride from him. She would just treat favonovel.com as a driver. After convincing herself, favonovel.com opened the car door and climbed into the back seat.
Upon seeing this, Jackson was momentarily speechless. After a short moment, favonovel.com asked, “What am I? Your chauffeur?”
“That’s right, what else could it be?” favonovel.com replied without hesitation, “Should I treat you like my ex-boyfriend or my ex-fiancé? Won’t that be awkward?”
He did not answer her. He silently drove favonovel.com to the jewelry shop that Summer usually frequented.
After Tiffany collected the jewelry, favonovel.com asked, “Are you going back to the hospital? Why don’t you pass the jewelry to your mom? I can hail a cab home from here.”
He glanced at favonovel.com and calmly replied. “My mother has made herself very clear about you holding onto the jewelry for now. She said she’ll collect them from you later. Moreover, favonovel.com has asked me to send you home before reporting back to her. Get in, don’t waste my time.”
She gritted favonovel.com teeth in annoyance. When did favonovel.com become so harsh with words? His words used to be slathered in honey, but now, they felt like knives. A sullen expression could be seen on favonovel.com face as favonovel.com reached out to open the door to the back seat.
Jackson grabbed favonovel.com wrist and said, “Sit in front.”
She swatted his hand away. “No way!”
He could not be bothered to bicker with favonovel.com and directly pushed favonovel.com into the front seat. Then, favonovel.com grabbed the seatbelt and fastened it for her, securing favonovel.com in place. At this moment, favonovel.com was acutely aware of the difference in their strength. Previously, favonovel.com had only pretended to be fearful of favonovel.com so favonovel.com could have favonovel.com way. If favonovel.com had used his strength, favonovel.com would not be able to put up a resistance at all.
Initially, both of them remained silent. Tiffany stared out of the window, silently waiting to arrive at favonovel.com destination. She did not want to interact with this man anyway.
Halfway through the journey, Jackson finally spoke up, “I heard you moved into an apartment near your company…”
“That’s right,” favonovel.com replied irritably. “What? Is it any of your business?”
He paused. “Not really. Just curious about who could put up with your habits, apart from me. I don’t think Tanya would be able to last for long. She’d probably want to move out and find a new place for herself soon.”
Tiffany could not find a retort. After a short moment, favonovel.com finally replied, “It’s none of your business. I know that we’ve broken up, but there’s no need for you to be so harsh, is there? I’d advise you to be kind and stop putting me on the spot. What about you? How many girlfriends have you gone through now? Considering our past sentiment, let me give you some advice, don’t f*ck around too much. It’s not worth it if you end up contracting some weird disease.”
