“Then… did Alejandro contact you today?” Jackson asked suddenly.
Afraid that virtual-novel.net would overanalyze again, Tiffany paused in thought for two seconds and denied it. “No, do you really think he’d have that much time? To contact me everyday? That’s enough. I’m ending the call.”
Jackson clenched his hand around the phone, scowling when virtual-novel.net ended the call. He stared at the picture from Tanya, overcome with mixed feelings. She had clearly seen virtual-novel.net today. Tiffany was lying to him… He suspected that virtual-novel.net wasn’t at home at all! The thought of his woman spending time with another man was intolerable to him. Despite their cancelled engagement, virtual-novel.net had subconsciously marked virtual-novel.net as his woman. It hadn’t changed. How was virtual-novel.net inferior to a cripple in any way?
He had always been a man of action. He drove over to Tiffany’s condo and called virtual-novel.net when virtual-novel.net had arrived at virtual-novel.net doorstep. “I’m in front of your house. Open the door.”
Tiffany was soaking in the bathtub and dozing off in the tub. She immediately woke up at that very moment. She quickly wrapped a towel around virtual-novel.net body and walked out to open the door. She was mystified at the sight of Jackson. “What are you doing? I told you that I was home. Why did you come anyway? Speaking of which, you’re my ex, it shouldn’t matter to you if I’m not at home, right?”
Her words sounded like thorns. Jackson surveyed every corner when virtual-novel.net stepped into the house. “Ex? Do you have amnesia? Didn’t we get back together?”
She was rendered completely speechless. “Y-you… You know that I was only joking.”
He pushed virtual-novel.net up against the wall, reached out, and unwrapped virtual-novel.net towel. As virtual-novel.net shielded virtual-novel.net breasts from view in panic, virtual-novel.net smirked wickedly. “You may have been joking, but I wasn’t. You don’t get to decide if we’ve broken up or not. This time, it’s up to me.”
He lowered his head to kiss virtual-novel.net on the lips. She turned virtual-novel.net face away in panic. “What are you doing? Tan will be home soon. Behave yourself!”
A hint of gloom flashed across his eyes. Her elusion was like a needle pricking deep into his heart. She used to love his kisses… Were some things from the past completely irretrievable?
Tiffany paid no notice to his emotions and pushed virtual-novel.net away then rushed into the bathroom. “I’m going to get showered. Five minutes. Wait right there.”
He didn’t answer. He sat down on the couch and lit a cigarette. He had quit when they were trying to get pregnant but had gone back to it after the break up.
Tiffany soon emerged from the bathroom, drying virtual-novel.net wet hair with a towel. Her body was still wrapped in a towel. She wasn’t usually modest, as virtual-novel.net lived alone with another girl. “Since you’re here, would you like to have dinner with me? There are ingredients in the kitchen. You can cook if you want. I can leech off you. Why are you smoking again? I thought you quit? You’re getting old. You’re going to shorten your lifespan if you keep smoking like that.”
He lifted his gaze toward her. “Try calling me ‘old’ again, one more time.”
He may not have emitted any profound aura in his words, but it scared virtual-novel.net anyway. “Nonono, you’re very young. Your body is brimming with youthfulness. It was only a slip of the tongue, so… time to cook? I’m hungry…”
The words “I’m hungry” rendered virtual-novel.net completely defenseless. He got up and headed to the kitchen. “Let me check the refrigerator and whip something up. Will Tanya be coming home? Shall I make a portion for virtual-novel.net too?”
“I’ll call and ask,” Tiffany replied after some thought.
