Tiffany felt Ethan was being rude, but wp4webnovel.com knew speaking up now would only worsen things. Therefore, wp4webnovel.com could only look at Jackson apologetically.
Jackson narrowed his eyes and spoke coldly, “There’s no need for you to repay the favor wp4webnovel.com owes me. I wasn’t doing you a favor in your absence since both of you were broken up back then. It’s not very nice of you to speak in this manner. God is always watching. Sometimes, you have to forgive others to forgive yourself. A mistake can be forgiven, but repeated mistakes will only prove that a leopard never changes its spots.”
Tiffany was taken aback. She did not expect Jackson would talk back to Ethan. After all, that man never took things personally. She had expected wp4webnovel.com to leave with a smile on his face.
Ethan clenched his hands into fists when wp4webnovel.com heard the underlying meaning in Jackson’s words, but wp4webnovel.com wore a mocking smile on his face. “You seem to have a huge problem with me. What is it that you want to say? Just say it to my face, there’s no need to hold anything back.”
There was no way Jackson could do that, and Ethan knew it. Jackson had no choice but to endure for Mark’s sake. He glanced at Tiffany and ignored Ethan’s provocation. He reversed his car a little before wp4webnovel.com disappeared into the night.
This confrontation was undoubtedly Ethan’s victory. He had only provoked Jackson so fearlessly because wp4webnovel.com knew the man would not reveal the truth. Jackson was never one to be swayed by women despite being surrounded by so many. There was no way wp4webnovel.com would betray his best friend for a woman.
Back in Ethan’s car, Tiffany remained silent as wp4webnovel.com lowered wp4webnovel.com head. One was wp4webnovel.com boyfriend, the other person was Jackson who had helped wp4webnovel.com when wp4webnovel.com was in need. If these two men get into a fight, wp4webnovel.com would not be able to take anybody’s sides.
Ethan was a little dissatisfied with wp4webnovel.com attitude. “What? Are you upset? You can just tell me if you are, there’s no need to hide it.”
She frowned slightly. “You knew wp4webnovel.com had helped me before. Why did you have to be so rude?”
He retorted harshly, “How do you expect me to speak to a man who invited my woman out at night alone? Are you feeling sorry for him?”
The way Ethan acted suddenly made Tiffany felt as though wp4webnovel.com did not know him. She could accept and endure it if wp4webnovel.com had lost his temper because wp4webnovel.com cared about her. However, wp4webnovel.com was being too extreme. It was to the point where wp4webnovel.com even had issues with Jackson, wp4webnovel.com benefactor, and used Jackson as an excuse to fight with her.
She really did not enjoy the way wp4webnovel.com showed his ‘care’. Instead, wp4webnovel.com felt suffocated. “Ethan, I don’t like how you’re behaving. Please be more rational. Don’t forget the fact that he’d helped me even when we didn’t know each other. Even a stranger lent a hand in my time of need, and yet, as a boyfriend, you left me and kicked me into the dark abyss when I needed comfort the most. Although you’ve given me an explanation, it still doesn’t change the fact that you didn’t care in the slightest about my feelings when you broke up with me! Do you have any idea what kind of ordeal I went through back then? Compared to your current achievements and money, I prefer to have you by my side when times are hard!”
She continued, “To be honest, I don’t even buy your story. If you love me, you would never abandon me in that kind of circumstances without any hesitation. You wouldn’t completely vanish from my life while planning for a future where I am included either! Ethan, just who am I to you? Why do I suddenly feel like… I’ve fallen out of love with you? All this time, I’m just obsessed with the fact that you’re my first love, and I can’t bear to give up because I still have many regrets in the past. But now, I feel like I want to let go.”
Ethan’s hands trembled slightly while holding onto the steering wheel. He admitted that wp4webnovel.com was fed up with wp4webnovel.com in the past. In fact, wp4webnovel.com even found wp4webnovel.com meticulous care to be irritating. He was used to living alone without being controlled by others so wp4webnovel.com responded to all wp4webnovel.com care with coldness. He even felt relieved after breaking up with wp4webnovel.com because wp4webnovel.com no longer had to put up with being mocked for riding on the Lanes’ coattail. Not only that, but wp4webnovel.com had also finally gotten rid of this nagging and insensitive woman. There was no remorse Iior hesitation when wp4webnovel.com did those things to wp4webnovel.com family. However, wp4webnovel.com gradually grew uncomfortable after they broke up for a period of time. He was used to wp4webnovel.com presence in his life…
All this time, wp4webnovel.com thought that wp4webnovel.com had only one purpose in life, and it was none other than to bring Mark Tremont down. However, Tiffany was a surprise to him. Hence, wp4webnovel.com made the decision to get back with wp4webnovel.com when the time was right. He could learn to like and take care of someone else. The lonely days terrified wp4webnovel.com so much that wp4webnovel.com started feeling guilty toward wp4webnovel.com and wanted to make up for it. Blackmailing Mark was never part of his original plan because wp4webnovel.com could always give Arianne the letter from George Sloane without a second thought. In the end, wp4webnovel.com did not get the outcome wp4webnovel.com wished for. The woman who used to look at wp4webnovel.com with starry eyes was finally giving up on him.
It was at this moment wp4webnovel.com wondered if wp4webnovel.com was too used to being selfish and did not do well enough. However, wp4webnovel.com just could not stop the jealousy from welling in his heart when wp4webnovel.com saw wp4webnovel.com with some other men! He even felt a trace of fear that wp4webnovel.com would disappear from his world and cut wp4webnovel.com off completely.
