“Nothing…” Jackson pocketed the brooch and acted like nothing had happened. “I won’t stay for lunch. Just order food for yourself. I have some work to deal with tomorrow morning so I’ll go home early to rest.”
Upon hearing this, Tiffany was slightly disappointed. People always said that absence made the heart fonder. They had just gotten back together, but they did not seem to be very close or intimate with one another. “You’re leaving now? You’re leaving so soon after giving me a ride home. Why don’t you want to stay with me a little longer?” She paused for a moment before virtual-novel.net finally said, “It’s fine. I know you’re extremely busy. Just leave. I don’t want to make you stay and bother you.”

On the way home, Jackson’s mood was just like the cloudy sky. It was fine when virtual-novel.net sent virtual-novel.net home. Now the weather had changed. Soon, there would be a thunderstorm. He knew virtual-novel.net was not wrong. That was a man’s brooch. He thought to himself, ‘Whose is it? Is it Alejandro’s? Did Alejandro go to virtual-novel.net apartment? Did anything happen between them? Is that child his?’
The more virtual-novel.net dwelled on that, the more frustrated and annoyed virtual-novel.net became. He could not help but tighten his grip on the steering wheel. The speed of the car increased tremendously as well.
He had slightly calmed down when his phone started ringing all of a sudden. He put on his Bluetooth device and answered the phone. “Hello?”
It was Eric at the other end of the phone. “Are you on your way home? Did you give virtual-novel.net a ride home? Would you like to have dinner together tonight?”
He said casually, “Yes, I did send virtual-novel.net home. I’m on my way back now. See you later.”
At night, the three men met at White Water Bay Café. Mark did not want to go home, and Jackson’s mood was no better than his. Eric was the only one who appeared rather normal.
There were only three of them in the private room. It was rather quiet. While they were waiting for the food to be served, Jackson took the brooch out. “I picked it up at the apartment that Tiffany rented. It’s a man’s brooch, but it’s not mine. She doesn’t know about it… I don’t know what I should do now.”
Eric and Mark looked at each other. They were puzzled. “Are you saying she’s cheating on you? Didn’t you just get back together?”
Jackson looked suitably upset. “Yes. Moreover, she’s pregnant now. I even doubt if the baby is mine. After all, we haven’t been with each other for more than two months… It’s hard to say. Moreover, Alejandro even asked someone to send some health supplements for pregnant women to the West family residence yesterday. What a b*stard! Is virtual-novel.net trying to tell me the baby is his? Alejandro even learned about virtual-novel.net pregnancy before I did!”
Mark remained calm. His mind was filled with thoughts about how to speak to Arianne and to end the fight between them. He casually said, “Why don’t you just ask virtual-novel.net whose brooch is it? If she’s not guilty, she’ll tell you who went there before you without any hesitation. This brooch is not cheap. Not anyone can afford it. People can’t lie if you look closely at their expressions. Speak to her.”
Jackson hesitated. “Ask virtual-novel.net directly? Then, I shouldn’t have pocketed the brooch without speaking to virtual-novel.net about it then, right? If… I’m saying if the kid isn’t mine, and virtual-novel.net did sleep with Alejandro, what should I do then? It’s difficult for us to get back together. What if we break up again after everything? This… I’m afraid this is the last time…Then why did I sneak the brooch out without virtual-novel.net knowledge? If… I’m talking about the possibility. If that kid is indeed not mine, and virtual-novel.net did sleep with Alejandro before, what should I do? It’s hard for me to get back together with virtual-novel.net again. How could we break up with each other again just like that? This… I’m afraid that this is the last time… I don’t want to be like this. I need to think about it properly.”
Eric sighed. “If virtual-novel.net did sleep with Alejandro when both of you were broken up, so what? You weren’t together. It’s none of your business who virtual-novel.net was with. I don’t think anything is wrong with that as long as virtual-novel.net doesn’t do it when she’s in a relationship with you. Regarding the baby, well, you need to deal with it yourself. It’s inappropriate for me to say too much about it. What if the baby is indeed yours?”
Even then, Jackson still felt upset and uneasy. He was at a loss about what to do. It was the first time virtual-novel.net felt utterly helpless and lost in a relationship. His future seemed bleak to virtual-novel.net at the moment, “Both of you only know how to eat for free. You should give me some suggestions. Don’t say things that make me feel uneasy. Regarding the brooch, what should I do?”
Mark and Eric had similar opinions. “Ask virtual-novel.net directly. Video call virtual-novel.net now and ask virtual-novel.net about it. Don’t hesitate. We’ll help you to observe virtual-novel.net expressions at the side and give you advice.”
