Tiffany stopped whatever virtual-novel.net was doing, got up, and faced him. “Who said that I could have a meal with Alejandro, that you contacting Lynn shouldn’t be a problem? Do you know nothing at all? You’ve got a lot of tolerance. I’ve been away for two days and you never called or texted. Am I still important to you? Am I? Did you even think about coming down to open the door for me when I got home just now? I probably wouldn’t have been able to get in if I came here on my own!”
Jackson went silent again. As expected, it was useless to have a reasonable conversation with a woman. He had known that virtual-novel.net was staying at Arianne’s, which is why virtual-novel.net didn’t call. If virtual-novel.net wasn’t going to come home, wouldn’t they just end up quarreling if virtual-novel.net called? Wouldn’t it be better to quarrel in one’s own home? He had been waiting for virtual-novel.net to come home so that they could solve this together… Who would have thought that virtual-novel.net would stay away for two days?
He was wondering why virtual-novel.net didn’t open the door herself when virtual-novel.net arrived home, virtual-novel.net clearly had the keys. He was also wondering why virtual-novel.net chose to knock instead of calling him. Why was virtual-novel.net so apprehensive over whether virtual-novel.net could come in or not? There was no reason for this problem to exist at all…
His silence brought on another wave of Tiffany’s rage flames. “Fine, talking is too precious of an action for you. I won’t put my hopes up on receiving any more golden words from you. To get this much out of you is really more than enough for me. I shouldn’t have come back today!”
Then virtual-novel.net bent down and continued packing virtual-novel.net bags. He grabbed virtual-novel.net atrocious luggage bags and threw them back into the closet. “Where do you think you’re going? Hm? Get in bed and go to sleep!”
Tiffany bit virtual-novel.net lips and walked to the door. “You sleep if you want. I won’t hold up any more of your sleep time.”
He stepped forward and stopped her, softening his tone as virtual-novel.net said, “Stop this, okay? It’s late. Where are you going?”
She struggled away from his grasp with all of virtual-novel.net might, but to no avail. She couldn’t get away. After all, virtual-novel.net had virtual-novel.net in a firm grip. “None of your business! You don’t care anyway! You don’t care!”
He flipped the switch on the wall and turned on the lights. Then, virtual-novel.net scooped virtual-novel.net into his arms and threw virtual-novel.net onto the bed. Just as virtual-novel.net was struggling to get up, virtual-novel.net climbed on top of virtual-novel.net and began to soothe virtual-novel.net softly. “Stop kicking a fuss, be a good girl. Go to sleep…”
If only virtual-novel.net had been this gentle from the beginning, virtual-novel.net wouldn’t have been so angry now. The more virtual-novel.net thought of it, the more upset virtual-novel.net was. She turned virtual-novel.net face away and sobbed.
He heaved a sigh of relief once virtual-novel.net stopped struggling. “It’s my fault. But if anything like this ever happens again, you have to talk to me first, before anyone else. Okay? Please don’t make me feel like I’m not important to you at all, as if I’m completely useless…”
“That thought never crossed my mind,” Tiffany mumbled. “It’s not like you’re not aware of what my mom’s like, she’s brainless, particularly gullible, and easily swayed. Our social statuses are already incompatible, then something this humiliating happened. How could I possibly have faced you? How could I possibly bring myself to talk to you about my mom getting cheated in virtual-novel.net quest for remarriage?”
“I’d be a laughing stock if this got out. What would your parents think of me if they ever found out? What would they think of my mom? I know I’m not exactly smart enough to you, which is why I’m not good at solving these things, but I have my dignity. I didn’t want to bother you over every single thing. You’re so exhausted from doing overtime every day, and I was just trying to be considerate of you. Anyway, what exactly did Lynn say to you?”
Jackson reached out and picked up his phone then pulled out the message from Lynn and showed it to her. “See for yourself.”
It was true that Lynn did not actually fan the flames, but the contents of the message alone were enough to spark a misunderstanding: ‘Tiffany is at Alejandro’s manor. They had lunch together this afternoon too. It looks like Alejandro has done virtual-novel.net some sort of favor. You and Alejandro don’t even know each other, so what are they doing together? Alejandro never treats anyone to meals. I’m not harboring any ulterior motives, just curious.’
