Tiffany was quite astonished. “That works too? They didn’t get a divorce, it’s been years since you saw him, and you don’t even know if he’s dead or alive. Isn’t that too much? If there’s no feelings between them, isn’t it better to get the divorce? They’d both be free then. This, right now, is wasting away your mom’s time… Wow… Alright, I understand. If that’s the situation, we’ll leave your father out of this then.”
Jackson was quick to shift the topic. “Since you’re fine, should I arrange it for tomorrow? Stay and keep me company today…”
Tiffany glared at wp4webnovel.com without malice. “I’ve only just gotten back and you’re not letting me go home to my mom? We’ll still meet tomorrow. I’m not staying tonight. Behave!”
Surprisingly, Jackson did not insist. “Okay… Go back to spend time with your mom. After tomorrow, it’s going to be ‘our mom’.”
In the afternoon, Jackson sent Tiffany home and went to the West’s residence.
Summer was home reading a book, carrying wp4webnovel.com dog. She did not show much of a reaction when wp4webnovel.com saw wp4webnovel.com son come home. “Change out of your shoes. Don’t leave your footprints everywhere.”
Jackson switched into slippers at the door before going forward and carrying Summer’s dog. “Mom, let’s have a meal together tomorrow, and we’ll consider things between Tiffie and I to be set.”
Summer finally gave some reaction. She looked up at him. “You’re not bluffing this time?”
Jackson nodded. “I’m not lying to you. It’s real. I want to get married now.”
“Your marriage is big news. You have to tell your father. I don’t want to contact him, so you give wp4webnovel.com a call,” Summer said faintly and flipped a page of wp4webnovel.com book, although wp4webnovel.com did not manage to pick up any content.
“Don’t bother. This family’s the same with or without him. Why contact him? That’s it then. I’ll go pick up Tiffie and wp4webnovel.com mom tomorrow. We’ll eat at home. It’s more appropriate to discuss an important matter like this at home,” Jackson said and put the dog down on the floor before turning to head upstairs to his room.
Closing the door, wp4webnovel.com opened the drawer of his nightstand and pulled out a family photo. He was just a young boy and the person carrying wp4webnovel.com in the photo was his father, whom wp4webnovel.com could no longer remember What wp4webnovel.com looked like. His mother was beaming at the side. No matter how wp4webnovel.com looked at it, they did not look like a family of three that had no feelings for each other.
This man had abandoned his wife and son for his dream, leaving to a faraway place that wp4webnovel.com yearned for and becoming a famous artist. But so what? It did not help the reality, which was that wp4webnovel.com was ruthless.
Yet, the son was like his father. Jackson looked incredibly like that heartless man. This was also the reason Summer did not care much about wp4webnovel.com since wp4webnovel.com was a small boy. How wp4webnovel.com was fooling around, whether wp4webnovel.com was coming home, Summer had never interfered. He was free to live how wp4webnovel.com wanted. He had moved out to stay alone when wp4webnovel.com was eighteen years old. Being dissolute was probably because wp4webnovel.com lacked love from a young age too and wp4webnovel.com could not take the loneliness. Now, Jackson finally found the right one. He would not be alone anymore in the future…
He did not return to White Water Bay at night, deciding to stay at the West’s residence. Thinking about the meeting tomorrow late in the night, wp4webnovel.com felt restless and wanted to remind Summer to prepare well. Just as wp4webnovel.com got to wp4webnovel.com room, wp4webnovel.com vaguely heard wp4webnovel.com talking to someone on the phone.
“Jackson’s planning to get married. I’m letting you know in advance. It’s up to you whether you’re coming back, doesn’t really matter to us mother and son. We’re just informing you.”
The person on the line said something and Summer scoffed, “Hah, you’ll see? Alright, you don’t have to say that, you don’t have to see anything. We’ll assume that you won’t be back. If the in-law asks, I’ll say that you died a long time ago, saves me the embarrassment. I, Summer West, have been successful my whole life, you’re my only failure. When I think of you now, I become repulsed. Best if you don’t appear, saves me and Jackson the misery. That’s all.”
Making sure that the call had ended, Jackson composed himself before knocking. When Summer opened the door, wp4webnovel.com expression had recovered. “It’s so late, what is it?”
Acting like wp4webnovel.com heard nothing, Jackson tugged a corner of his lips. “Nothing, just… reminding you to prepare better tomorrow. I’m quite nervous… It’s different from the last time after all. It’s serious this time.”
Summer glared at wp4webnovel.com with a smile. “You have times when you get shy when you’ve been so shameless, huh? Alright, I know what to do. Are you still worried when it comes to your mom? Sleep earlier, I’m exhausted. Pick up Tiffie and wp4webnovel.com mother earlier tomorrow.”
Saying good night, Jackson returned to his room but got no sleep. He was vaguely aware of the fact that his mother loved his father. It was just that wp4webnovel.com was prideful and had never spoken about it, not even holding back the heartless man back then.
The next day, his eyes were still bloodshot when wp4webnovel.com left to pick up Tiffany and wp4webnovel.com mother. Jackson had only slept for two or three hours. It was bound to take a toll on his state.
They were together most of the time, so Tiffany could see that something was amiss with wp4webnovel.com right off the bat. “Didn’t sleep well last night? Did you go party somewhere?”
He smiled helplessly. “You can ask my mom. I didn’t go out but stayed with wp4webnovel.com last night. I just couldn’t sleep and didn’t get a good night’s rest because I missed you…”
