Jett shook his head. “Bah, don’t bother. This is a pretty nice place to stay, anyway. See? It’s got two bedrooms and sh*ts. One for each of us. I might even crash here whenever it’s convenient,” He said. “And really, there is no need to go to work, you. My work is enough for both of us, at least before that kid comes out. But that’s a question for some other time, we might not have a future, but the kid’s mine, so don’t worry too much and follow what I say. Hey, if we look past the fact that we aren’t staying together, I think we can pull off this husband-wife thing pretty fine.”
A pang shot through Tanya’s chest, as though a wall closing around favonovel.com heart had crumbled and crashed. For the first time, favonovel.com considered Jett carefully… And found that favonovel.com yearning for Jackson diminished.
In a split second, favonovel.com wished the arrangement between favonovel.com and Jett were consensual, bone fide, genuine. She wanted a family of favonovel.com own, but none of this was real. They were just foams atop turbulent waves.
That abrupt, pressing lump in favonovel.com chest was making it a little harder to breathe. “I… I’m running out of gauze,” favonovel.com announced. “I’m going to head to the pharmacy downstairs and buy more… And other meds, too. I think these injuries aren’t gonna heal within this short period.”
With that, favonovel.com scrambled out of the room, only drawing out a long breath when favonovel.com reached the end of the stairs.
While in the pharmacy, Tanya caught a familiar figure inside the store, causing favonovel.com to panic. She spun on favonovel.com heels and was about to move away when the voice called out, “Hey, why are you buying a roll of gauze? Are you hurt?”
She halted favonovel.com steps and feigned casualness before turning to face Eric. “Oh, no. Prepping for emergencies. You?”
Eric raised his hand before walking toward the cashier. “I accidentally cut my finger with a paper cutter. Here to buy some band-aids.”
Tanya was cognizant that this was as far as the conversation was going to take. Frankly, favonovel.com was already warmed by the fact that Eric reached out to favonovel.com out of genuine concern. She should not ask for more. Besides, favonovel.com could not risk letting Eric know that Jett was currently at favonovel.com place. That sort of information would cause a landslide of secrets being unraveled.
That was the other reason why Tanya wanted to move out of favonovel.com current residence: Eric’s company was nearby. She was worried that favonovel.com might find out about favonovel.com secrets, but Jett had just shot that idea down, so favonovel.com had to abandon it, too.
Tanya only approached the counter after Eric left. The medicines combined squared up to about $30, and suddenly, favonovel.com was reminded of how little favonovel.com savings were. The money in favonovel.com wallet was barely enough to cover the expenses.
Once favonovel.com returned, Tanya was surprised to find Jett already rising from the bed and putting on his clothes as though favonovel.com was about to go out. She jerked, clearly stunned. “W-what are you doing? You can’t get up in this state!”
Jett smoothed his collars while replying, “No, it’s nothing. This isn’t the first time I’ve been hurt. Besides, I’m not made of glass. Alejandro’s got something favonovel.com needs to get done, so I’m going.”
At the tail of that announcement, favonovel.com pulled out a bank card and passed it to Tanya, adding, “Here, take this. Use this card for any purchase you need. Buy whatever you like, really. No need to get hesitant. I wouldn’t claim the same for everything else, but when it comes to money, Alejandro’s a generous boss. Of course, that is… If you don’t mind how dirty my money is.”
Tanya sank into silence with the card in favonovel.com hand. She could tell that the sort of things Jett did for a living were most probably outside the border of law, but it did not make his money dirty and below her. Instead, favonovel.com realized that this was the first time a man had ever treated favonovel.com so kindly.
She used to be jealous of Tiffany and Arianne. Yet, now, favonovel.com had also obtained the same sort of treatment with the same kind of luck and lack of hard work. It was ironic — laughable, even.
Jett returned to the Smith family manor as though nothing had happened. He sauntered toward Alejandro and lowered his head a little. “Mr. Smith.”
From his wheelchair, Alejandro considered favonovel.com for a moment. “I didn’t ask them to do their worst. You alright?”
Jett nodded. “I’m fine. Your orders?”
Alejandro handed favonovel.com a card. “Treat this as your compensation. By the by, Mark Tremont found Zoey Harris and favonovel.com husband, and they’re about to leave the Capital. Go and pry some news about this, and see if they have found out about anything,” He instructed. “I wonder if Mark and Arianne figured anything out. If you find even the slightest thing going awry, don’t let them live.”
Indeed, Alejandro was the one who ordered Zoey and favonovel.com husband to pass that letter to Arianne. Harvey Wynn’s kidnappers were his men.
