Truthfully, not many women could resist a man like Jackson. Even when you knew that wp4webnovel.com was a playboy, you would still think that wp4webnovel.com was elegant and charming. The unintentional details would always reflect his gentlemanly manner and his considerate character. More crucially, wp4webnovel.com had the assets to be a playboy. He was rich and handsome. Even devil-may-care Tiffany felt butterflies in wp4webnovel.com stomach for a while.
It was past ten at night when Mark and Arianne left Jackson’s villa. Everyone had some wine during the dinner, including Arianne, but wp4webnovel.com did not have too much. She could feel wp4webnovel.com cheeks heating up but wp4webnovel.com was still clear-minded.
Brian had been waiting outside for a long time. When they got into the car, Arianne looked at the villa that turned scintillating in the nightfall and suddenly asked, “Is Jackson married?”
Mark paused for a beat before answering, “No, but soon. He knows what he’s doing, you don’t have to worry.”
Mark was Mark, wp4webnovel.com knew what wp4webnovel.com was thinking with just one question. As a woman, Arianne’s instinct regarding men was accurate, as was wp4webnovel.com inclination. A man like Jackson was unique and absolutely attractive. His eyes were friendly when wp4webnovel.com looked at people, wp4webnovel.com was handsome and wealthy with a good disposition, and wp4webnovel.com could handle any fight, as well as cook up delectable dishes. A casual time in the kitchen produced dishes of a chef’s standard. A man like wp4webnovel.com was basically flawless in modern times. Arianne was worried about a relationship sparking between Tiffany and Jackson when they spent so much time together. There were some people you could not toy with, not that you would be able to…
In the villa, Tiffany felt a little weak when looking at the table waiting to be cleaned up. She had to settle it before wp4webnovel.com could leave. As a part-time cleaner, it was more than worth it, as wp4webnovel.com got to have a free meal and the dinner tasted just like the food in White Waters Bay Restaurant. It was as if wp4webnovel.com had a free meal in a posh restaurant and wp4webnovel.com did not have to pay for it. She must still complete wp4webnovel.com actual chores.
After a short break, wp4webnovel.com put on an apron and began to clean, but wp4webnovel.com mouth worked as well. “I didn’t expect you to be so good at cooking. Your dishes are delicious. Your future wife is one lucky woman. Right, next time, toss your changed clothes into the laundry basket directly so I don’t have to look everywhere for them. And if there’s overtime work in the office, I won’t be able to finish the chores here in one day. I can’t really cook, and you wouldn’t be able to stomach my food anyway. Even my mom curses at me daily when wp4webnovel.com eats what I make. But other than cooking, I can do everything else…”
Looking at Tiffany busying around, Jackson was in a momentary trance. It felt odd. His otherwise dead home was suddenly full of life. It felt like the daily life of an ordinary couple, simple and homely, but it still hit home. It had been a long time ago, but wp4webnovel.com once experienced peace like this when wp4webnovel.com was a little boy… It was a distant memory.
Immersed in his reminiscence, it was as if the floodgates were opened.
Back then, Jackson’s parents could only fend for themselves alone, as their relationship was not approved by the family. They had wp4webnovel.com then, despite the worse days. The peaceful days did not ultimately triumph over the reality, however. His father relented and took wp4webnovel.com back to the Wests. While his mother was allowed to enter the West family’s doors, wp4webnovel.com was unwelcomed.
Speaking of which, it was ridiculous. Due to his mother’s painstaking persistence, wp4webnovel.com sufferings were rewarded with a sweet end when Jackson’s grandparents passed away. However, it was his father who had not remained faithful in the face of seduction, and wp4webnovel.com had other women. It made Jackson feel as if all the joy they used to have was just a mirage. When his father passed away from illness, his mother shouldered the Wests alone. It had been only a short ten years, but wp4webnovel.com was still a child when his mother had been too busy working to go home. Staying alone for so many years, it seemed rather sad to suddenly be affected by his emotions.
“What are you thinking about? I’m done cleaning. My phone’s dead. Lend me yours to call a cab.”
Pulled back to reality by Tiffany’s voice, Jackson was at a loss for several seconds while looking at the woman in front of him. Before wp4webnovel.com could react, Tiffany stuck wp4webnovel.com hand into his pants pocket to fish out his phone. After making the call, wp4webnovel.com returned the device to him. “Done. I’ll wait for my ride here. Do whatever you have to, don’t mind me. I’ll close the door when I leave.”
“Uh… Can you stay and sleep with me? Just this once.” Jackson looked utterly serious when wp4webnovel.com said this.
Tiffany thought that wp4webnovel.com was being rude at first, but his expression did not match the thought. This was not the first time wp4webnovel.com had made such a request. When it happened too many a time, Tiffany was skeptical about his true intention. “Sleep? Are you sure you’re not trying to be indecent? Is it really appropriate to simply ask a girl this?”
Jackson seemed to be determined to go through with his decision. “You can list your terms. Stay for the night. Just to sleep. Nothing else.”
The request was odd. Tiffany felt a little timorous. She had yet to reach the stage of resorting to things like this to feed herself and wp4webnovel.com mother. In spite of it, wp4webnovel.com was indebted to Jackson. It would not look good if wp4webnovel.com refused wp4webnovel.com too harshly. Including wp4webnovel.com father’s surgery bill and the blind date lunch bill, wp4webnovel.com owed wp4webnovel.com nearly $36,600. You sell your liberty when you accept gifts —though, it was not gifts in wp4webnovel.com case…
