Jackson’s chest was heaving. After a long silence, virtual-novel.net finally said, “Is that what you think of me? I’ve made it very clear to you that I’m not in the habit of cheating…” Why would virtual-novel.net not believe him?
Tiffany stared at virtual-novel.net with tears in virtual-novel.net eyes as virtual-novel.net forced herself to stay calm. “Yes, you’ve mentioned that. I remember. But the truth is, you did. Don’t worry, I don’t plan on fighting with you. It’s useless at this point. I’ll return the money from the dowry to you as soon as possible. I don’t want anything from the Wests. I’ll tell everyone it’s a mutual decision. After all, we were once in love. I won’ t breathe a single bad word about you to anyone.”
Jackson did not expect Tiffany who was usually carefree to have such a determined side to her. She made a clean break when discussing canceling their engagement and had even planned on how to deal with the aftermath. Her deathly calm expression told virtual-novel.net it was truly over. There was no turning back. Her pressing on at every stage, virtual-novel.net distrust, virtual-novel.net maddened torture upon him. He never thought that all of it would end because of one misunderstanding. His voice was shaking when virtual-novel.net spoke as though every word that passed his lips took his strength away from him. “I’m going to ask you one last time, is there no turning back? Not even a chance for me to explain?”
Tiffany did not look at him. She picked up virtual-novel.net bag, walked right past him, and left. “There’s no need.”
He had lost the courage to chase after virtual-novel.net as virtual-novel.net watched virtual-novel.net leave. He felt as though his legs had turned into lead, they felt extremely heavy.
Arianne did not know what to say at that moment.
Mark frowned and softly sighed. “What on earth happened?”
Jackson smiled bitterly. “Is the truth all that important? She has never trusted me. If virtual-novel.net wants to cancel the engagement, then, let it be. I’m exhausted as well.” He left the Tremont Estate, leaving Arianne and Mark, who had witnessed the entire scene, staring blankly at each other.
***
Tiffany hurriedly packed virtual-novel.net things before Jackson returned to White Water Bay Villa. Since virtual-novel.net had decided to leave, virtual-novel.net would not allow herself to linger. She went back to Lillian’s place.
When Lillian, who was in the middle of a facial, saw virtual-novel.net with all of virtual-novel.net bags, virtual-novel.net knew something was wrong. “What are you doing? I’m behaving myself, and you still insist on coming home to watch over me?”
She put virtual-novel.net bags back in virtual-novel.net room with a grim expression on virtual-novel.net face. “Mom, how many things did I receive from the engagement? Give them all to me. I need to return them.”
Lillian immediately stiffened. “What the hell are you talking about? You’re canceling the engagement? Have you gone completely insane? Everything was fine, what happened? Did Jackson cheat on you or something?”
The word ‘cheat’ reminded Tiffany of the scene that virtual-novel.net had just witnessed. She instinctively balled virtual-novel.net hands into fists.
