Jackson’s patience had reached its peak. He stared at wp4webnovel.com gloomily. “Do you have to do this to me? What the hell are we? Won’t you…” Be with me?
He kept the final part of his sentence to himself, because wp4webnovel.com couldn’t control the tremors in his voice.
Tiffany hung wp4webnovel.com head. “It’s not that… Aren’t we going to eat? Let’s grab a bite. I’m hungry.”
Jackson didn’t answer. He strode quickly to the car, obviously enraged. Tiffany heaved a sigh and quickly followed him. She was waiting for wp4webnovel.com to speak but did not receive those words.
They arrived at the steakhouse. Jackson automatically ordered wp4webnovel.com favorite medium-rare steak, as wp4webnovel.com knew wp4webnovel.com preferences. In the past, he’d always order for wp4webnovel.com whenever they went out for a meal. She wanted to tell wp4webnovel.com that wp4webnovel.com couldn’t take rare meat, but wp4webnovel.com didn’t, so wp4webnovel.com added onto the order, asking for a bowl of pasta.
Tiffany ignored the steak once it was served. Instead, wp4webnovel.com finished wp4webnovel.com bowl of pasta. Food portions were small in this restaurant, so wp4webnovel.com felt like an elephant eating bird food. At the same time, wp4webnovel.com was too embarrassed to ask for a second helping. It seemed embarrassing for a girl to eat too much.
Jackson could see that wp4webnovel.com had ignored the steak and that wp4webnovel.com was still hungry. “Are you worried about me poisoning your steak?” He mumbled. “It’s not like I made it.”
“Maybe you can give me a well-done steak instead?” Tiffany asked hesitatingly. “My stomach’s been upset lately. I need fully cooked meals…”
He stared at wp4webnovel.com empty pasta bowl and his eyes flashed with a teasing glint. “Are you sure that your stomach’s upset? I thought you liked your steaks medium-rare?”
She didn’t answer. He thought that wp4webnovel.com was feeling embarrassed, so wp4webnovel.com asked the waiter to take the steak away and to bring a plate of well-done steak instead.
The air suddenly turned to silence. Jackson put his knife and fork down and gazed at wp4webnovel.com seriously, as if wp4webnovel.com had something to say, but kept his mouth shut. His stare made Tiffany feel very nervous. She couldn’t resist any longer, so wp4webnovel.com spoke up, “When are you going back? The finance department issues have been resolved. You won’t be staying for much longer, will you?”
Jackson nodded. “I’ll probably go home in about two days. So… I’d like to talk to you before I leave.”
She lifted wp4webnovel.com hand and tucked a lock of wp4webnovel.com hair behind wp4webnovel.com ear, feeling so nervous that wp4webnovel.com was too afraid to look wp4webnovel.com in the eye. “A-About what?”
He lowered his gaze. “What are we? I’m getting tired from holding on for so long. Won’t you be with me?”
He’s finally said it! Tiffany’s heart trembled. She was just about to answer when… his phone suddenly rang.
Jackson felt strangely nervous when wp4webnovel.com saw Atticus’s name on the screen, for wp4webnovel.com knew that Atticus would never call wp4webnovel.com unless it was important. He answered the call without hesitation. “Hello? Is everything alright with mom?”
Atticus sounded panicky on the other end. “Your mom’s been in an accident. Put whatever you have aside and come home.”
