Suddenly, a car sped past wp4webnovel.com and made a swift U-turn to stop beside her. Tiffany wiped wp4webnovel.com tears. “Jackson? Why are you here?”
The first thing Jackson did after coming out of the car was to grab wp4webnovel.com and scan wp4webnovel.com from head to toe, breathing in relief when wp4webnovel.com saw that wp4webnovel.com was fine. God knew how anxious wp4webnovel.com was when wp4webnovel.com found out that wp4webnovel.com was with Ethan. He had been cooking but had tossed the spatula aside and rushed off, running red lights and speeding through stop signs all the way. “Ethan has something against you, right? If wp4webnovel.com looks for you next time, tell me. I won’t let wp4webnovel.com blackmail you constantly. Did wp4webnovel.com do anything to you?!”
Tiffany shook wp4webnovel.com head. “Nothing. He let me go. He has nothing to hold against me either. I can live my life with a fresh start from now on, walk out of his shadow and live well…”
Unable to hold himself back, Jackson pulled wp4webnovel.com into his embrace. Tiffany widened wp4webnovel.com eyes. “What… what are you doing? Don’t tell me that you were in such a hurry just to come look for me…”
Jackson let go of wp4webnovel.com and went into the car first, taunting wp4webnovel.com with a chuckle. “No, don’t be so full of yourself. I have a lover here!”
If it had been before, Tiffany would have believed what wp4webnovel.com said, his careless tone tricking her. Now, wp4webnovel.com could not lie to her.
Deciding not to expose him, Tiffany sat in the passenger seat and spoke in an exceptionally mature tone, “You’re quite nice. You’re handsome and rich too, and your mom wishes so badly for you to get married and give wp4webnovel.com a grandchild. Stop thinking about putting off the inevitable, or else no one will be able to take over your family business in the future. When you meet the right one, marry her. Live your life like a good honest man and don’t have flings all the time.”
Jackson clicked his tongue. “You sound like you’re older than me. Is this you deciding to friend-zone me? Don’t say that I’m nice. I’m not. I’m the worst. I’m a womanizer and I’m not dependable. Other than knowing how to cook and being handsome, I don’t have many other strong points. The family business is all my parents’ hard work when they were young, it has nothing to do with me.”
This was the first time Tiffany heard someone self-deprecating talk about themselves like this. He sounded like wp4webnovel.com was putting himself down, but wp4webnovel.com was singing praises about himself. She kept wp4webnovel.com head down as wp4webnovel.com laughed, looking demure.
As if discovering a new continent, Jackson exclaimed, “Did I see it right? Why are you suddenly smiling like a girl? You always laughed freely, acting more like a man than a man. Come on, come have dinner at my place. It’s weird to eat alone with Arianne.”
Tiffany was not full, so wp4webnovel.com agreed to it. She was always craving Jackson’s cooking anyway.
Returning to the villa in White Water Bay, Jackson was stunned when wp4webnovel.com heard noises in the kitchen. Arianne was actually cooking in his place after wp4webnovel.com left! Hearing sounds of people coming in, Arianne walked out with a spatula. “You’re back? And Tiffie’s here too? I’ll be done with two dishes, we can eat soon.”
Jackson took the spatula from wp4webnovel.com and said, “You girls hang around. I’ll cook.”
Tiffany chuckled. “Ari, is your cooking edible? You didn’t see his expression just now. He must have felt his heart ache just thinking about the ingredients you have potentially wasted.”
Arianne hooked wp4webnovel.com hair behind wp4webnovel.com ear awkwardly. “He ran out suddenly without saying what wp4webnovel.com was up to or when he’d be back. I was starving, of course I had to do it myself. Don’t worry, I haven’t even completed a dish.”
The culinary skills of an ordinary person could never be compared to those of Jackson. A short while later, a few aromatic dishes were served. Arianne and Tiffany did not hold themselves back as they impatiently picked up their cutlery.
Tiffany was never one to keep wp4webnovel.com compliments to herself. After all, you had to be sweet with your words to get free food. “Jackson, your cooking really makes one content. Anyone who marries you will be so lucky! This beef is so tender, it’s amazing!”
Jackson rested his chin on his palm as wp4webnovel.com looked at the women, who looked like they had been starving for ages, not knowing if wp4webnovel.com should be happy or troubled. “Look at how much you two love my cooking. One of you can just marry me then, you’ll get free food every day. Arianne is my sister-in-law, so she’s off limits. Tiffany, looks like it’ll have to be you.”
The joke involved Arianne too, so it sounded even more like a joke. No one thought much of it. Tiffany was unfazed as well. “If you don’t mind, I don’t mind. What to do? For my future carefree life and my appetite…”
Jackson’s eyes were shining. “Are you for real?”
When accidentally meeting his eyes, Tiffany realized that wp4webnovel.com was not joking. What wp4webnovel.com had gone through suddenly flashed across wp4webnovel.com mind and wp4webnovel.com lowered wp4webnovel.com head in a panic, “Of course not.”
Jackson changed the topic seamlessly, “Where are you girls planning to go for a fresh start? Remember to let me know.”
Arianne said half- jokingly, “I’m just afraid that you’ll let someone else know if we let you know. You’re a mole.”
Jackson pursed his lips. “As if Mark can’t find you. As long as you’re still within the country, or even Earth, wp4webnovel.com can find you. It’s whether or not he’s willing to. Don’t cut ties. I’m me and he’s him.”
Tiffany, who was digging in, suddenly said, “I have the same idea as Ari. Since it’s a fresh start, it should be a restart, a farewell to everything and everyone in the past. ”
