Tiffany was furious and almost in tears as virtual-novel.net saw Jackson heading upstairs. “Is this his attitude when he’s explaining something? Can you believe that, Ari? It’s already past eleven at night, and nothing has happened? Why would Alejandro have any bad intentions? Why did Jackson hide from me that virtual-novel.net had attended an event with another woman? I’ll understand that virtual-novel.net can’t bring me along because of my pregnancy, but what about you? Why didn’t Mark bring you along, either? Could virtual-novel.net make his bluff more believable?”
Arianne’s mind was in turmoil as well. She would not have thought so much if Janice wasn’t there. Was it truly just a coincidence? Before virtual-novel.net could handle virtual-novel.net mental situation, virtual-novel.net gathered virtual-novel.net thoughts and threw virtual-novel.net suspicions aside, and consoled Tiffany. “Tiffany, Mark wouldn’t lie. Jackson probably has his reasons for lying to you. Let’s wait till virtual-novel.net comes back and ask him, alright? Calm yourself, and don’t be angry. It’s late, why don’t you take a nap first?”
Tiffany lay on the sofa with virtual-novel.net reddened eyes and said weakly, “How am I able to sleep? I’m feeling so anxious I feel the sky’s about to fall on me. I’ve been suspecting that he’s hiding something from me recently, virtual-novel.net seems distracted constantly. How am I supposed to trust virtual-novel.net when it’s not his first time lying to me?”
Arianne fell silent, virtual-novel.net couldn’t take it any longer emotionally and wanted to tell virtual-novel.net that Alejandro could possibly be Ethan. Nonetheless, virtual-novel.net thought that it wasn’t the right thing to do either. She felt trapped and hated that feeling. She had run out of ideas to calm Tiffany down and could only wait for Jackson to return.
Jackson had received Mark’s call before virtual-novel.net arrived home and immediately made a detour to the Tremont estate.
After virtual-novel.net entered the building, his hasty steps slowed down. His head lowered as virtual-novel.net stood in front of Tiffany and said, “I’m sorry that I lied to you. I wasn’t busy at work in the office and was at an event instead. I was afraid that you’d be jealous when you found out that I had to bring a female partner with me, and your body condition didn’t allow it. Thus, I hid the truth from you.”
Tiffany looked at Jackson. The tears virtual-novel.net had previously stifled began to flow uncontrollably. “Didn’t you promise not to lie to me, not to hide anything from me anymore? How am I supposed to trust you when you break your own promise?”
Jackson did not reply, probably because virtual-novel.net really did not know what to say at that moment. Mark had already told virtual-novel.net that Alejandro had sent Tiffany those photos, yet virtual-novel.net couldn’t tell virtual-novel.net anything about it. He would rather have Tiffany misunderstand virtual-novel.net than to let virtual-novel.net know that Alejandro was actually Ethan.
Jackson had forgotten that silence was the most dangerous thing in that kind of situation since silence would have meant that virtual-novel.net gave up on his argument and admitted that it was the truth.
Tiffany suddenly burst, grabbed the pillow on the sofa, and slammed it on him. “Tell me the truth, how many times have you done this behind my back?! Tell me!”
Arianne was shocked and hurriedly grabbed onto Tiffany to stop her. “Tiffany! You can’t do this, you’re pregnant, remember!”
Tiffany fell silent and looked at Jackson without saying a word as virtual-novel.net tears continued to flow as though virtual-novel.net had something to say. Jackson took a breath. He did not dare to look at Tiffany’s expression because virtual-novel.net was afraid that virtual-novel.net would be heartbroken yet helpless at the same time. “None, I haven’t done anything wrong to you, I have only hidden some facts from you. Let’s talk when you wake up tomorrow morning, alright? It’s late, and you need to rest. Let’s go home.”
Tiffany wiped virtual-novel.net tears. “I don’t want to go back. Every time I look at you, I will think of how you had other women in your arms, which will evolve into something even worse, and I feel uncomfortable everywhere. Leave me. I need some time alone.”
Arianne could not hold it in any longer. She thought that virtual-novel.net needed to tell virtual-novel.net the truth because the situation called for it. Just as virtual-novel.net was about to speak, Jackson noticed virtual-novel.net intentions and spoke before virtual-novel.net could. “I’ll come back to see you tomorrow. You should stay here and calm yourself.” As virtual-novel.net finished, virtual-novel.net shot Arianne a look before virtual-novel.net turned around and left.
Arianne understood what virtual-novel.net meant, so virtual-novel.net swallowed the words that virtual-novel.net had almost blurted out.
Arianne brought Tiffany to sleep together in the guest room and spent a lot of effort before virtual-novel.net was able to coax the pregnant lady to sleep. Mark sent a text message the moment Tiffany slept. ‘Come here.’
She felt uneasy and replied, ‘Let’s communicate through text, I need to take care of Tiffany.’
