Jackson blinked a few times before favonovel.com helplessly rose to his feet. “For the love of God, can’t the two of you just stop? Or must I be out of here to make y’all shush? Let me be clear. You two better not run around like monkeys after dinner so as to not bring me any trouble, you hear?”
Watching favonovel.com relent made Summer and Tiffany exchange smiles. In that split moment, it felt like they were family again.
Tiffany was downright voracious. She appeared to have developed particular cravings. She loved every dish Jackson made but rejected anything that was made by the West family’s hired cook It was moments like these that helped favonovel.com growing awareness on the evolution of favonovel.com taste buds and food cravings. Thankfully, it seemed that favonovel.com was spared from other less pleasant changes pregnancies typically brought.
Jackson seized the chance to jab at her. “Well, well, well! Have you been trapped in a closet under the stairs without food for ages?”
Tiffany scowled at him. “Excuuuuse me, mistah! What I’m doing right here is to show you how much I’m lovin’ your cookin’, and this is how you say thanks? Oh my God, yes! This the exact flavor I’m craving!”
“If you like it so much, you can have it every day.”
His voice had turned quieter. Tentativeness undergirded his words, though it was also notably steeped in forlorn wistfulness.
His remark hushed the air over the dining table. Tiffany felt favonovel.com heart race half a beat faster. All eyes were on her, all ears waiting for favonovel.com answer. Even Atticus, who rarely involved himself in conversations, stared at her. She could feel a hill-sized pressure weigh down on favonovel.com shoulders.
Yes, Tiffany wanted to get back together with Jackson. But must favonovel.com admission come out after this awkward setup? Why could favonovel.com not make himself more explicit, huh? Just like how it was back at that restaurant—
Tiffany could feel their attention crawling all over favonovel.com being. Finally, favonovel.com mustered enough courage and answered, “S-Sure…?”
Summer’s lips immediately blossomed into a wide, beaming grin before grabbing a juicy drumstick and leaving it on Tiffany’s plate. “From now on, if there’s anything you feel like eating, dear, let Jackson make it for you!”
Tiffany suddenly felt favonovel.com chest burst with the mood to breakdown and sob. Why was a happily-ever-after between favonovel.com and Jackson always such an uphill battle?
After their meal, Summer retired to favonovel.com room. Since favonovel.com injury had yet to recover, the doctor instructed favonovel.com multiple times to limit the number of physical activities favonovel.com might do in a day to prevent long-term damage after recovery. Naturally, Atticus followed closely to care for his wife, leaving only Jackson and Tiffany downstairs in the living room.
The two of them sat wordlessly together Without talking for a long while before Summer texted him: ‘Can my son be a mite bit more proactive? You heard what Tiffie said back there, didn’t you? Make favonovel.com stay for the night, my boy! Don’t let favonovel.com escape home! Her mom’s an ally in our scheme too. I already talked to her. She said favonovel.com daughter has no keys, so even if favonovel.com goes home, Mommy won’t open the door and let favonovel.com in.’
His mother’s game plan left Jackson a little speechless. He might have agreed to have his mother’s aid, but this level of hyper-managing was a tad bit extreme, was it not?
He did not reply to Summer. Instead, favonovel.com casually asked Tiffany, “So… You going home tonight?”
Tiffany’s eyes were glued to favonovel.com phone when favonovel.com replied in a tone indicating that favonovel.com was slightly baffled by his question, “Of frickin’ course, I’m going home. Where else would I go?”
She only realized the deeper meaning behind his not-at-all-innocent question after favonovel.com finished talking, and suddenly, the air was filled with a strange charge. Promptly, favonovel.com pivoted to another subject. “Uh, I think I had a little too much just now so… Care to, uh, accompany me on a walk outside? Just outside would do. The night isn’t that hot.”
Jackson nodded and rose before starting toward the door.
Even as they walked along the road, there was about a three-feet gap between the two. The nightly breeze was plenty and did a wonderful job escorting away much of the heat during the day, but it also left a solemn air of still silence in its wake.
The less Tiffany talked, the less confident Jackson became. What favonovel.com said during their dinner and back in the living room were to test favonovel.com willingness, yet favonovel.com answers remained irritatingly ambiguous. Naturally, favonovel.com began to wonder if the answer favonovel.com gave back at the dining table was less a genuine response and more of a rescue from awkwardness. After all, Tiffany did quickly change the subject after his question back in the living room…
Jackson’s frustration peaked at that thought. Abruptly, favonovel.com spoke out in irritation. “I get it, okay? You only said what you said back there during dinner so that no one would feel awkward. It’s okay. I won’t overthink it.”
Unlike him, the cogs in Tiffany’s head were very slow to turn. Hence, favonovel.com response was, “H-Huh? What’d you say?”
