A wounded expression appeared on Aye’s face, “I thought we’re close. Are you afraid that I’d find out where you live? I was planning on inviting you on a shopping trip this weekend. This makes me sad. I treat you as a friend, but it seems like you only see me as a colleague!”Tiffany looked around nervously, afraid that Jackson might suddenly appear. The entire office would find out about them if a big-mouth like Aye found out. Everyone would know she was their future lady boss. She scoffed, “What’s there to be afraid of?” She wrote down her own house address.Aye’s eyes lit up, “We’re really going the same way! My house is in the small neighborhood right across from yours. Your home is in a more expensive area than mine. I knew you were from a yuppie family!”This was completely out of Tiffany’s expectations. How could there be such a coincidence? She really wished that a few kidnappers would suddenly appear and drag Aye away. “Erm… I might not be going home tonight. I’m going over to
“Don’t worry,” Jackson replied helplessly, “I’m not an animal. That’s not the only thing on my mind. Sleep is the only thing on my mind when I’m tired. I just want to cuddle and sleep.”Tiffany refused to believe him. All men were liars. Previously, he would turn into a beast whenever they were alone. He would have his fill of her before letting her sleep.When they arrived in White Water Bay Villa, she had a shower before going straight to bed. However, she was too afraid to fall asleep since she was certain Jackson was going to want to have sex with her. She had to wait for him to finish the deed before she could sleep.To her surprise, Jackson did not touch her in that way at all. He simply cuddled her and went to bed. She thought that she could give him some happiness in that area. He had given her much more than she had given him so she usually would not reject him. She was moved seeing him so considerate that she felt herself falling in love with him just a little more…...When
They entered the office and began another day of work.Tiffany slapped her face lightly when she sat down. “Wake up!”Aye patted her chest, still shocked. “I only wanted to say hi when I saw you and Mr. West. I completely forgot he’s our boss. We were late in front of our boss. That gave me quite a fright…”Tiffany looked completely nonchalant. She was not at fault for being late after all. “Stop patting your chest. It’s flat enough as it is. You’ll have nothing left if you keep doing that. By the way, I haven’t had breakfast, have you?”Aye stroked her tummy and bitterly replied, “I haven’t either. Shall we order takeout? We can eat at the entrance later. We’ll get scolded if we eat here.”Tiffany grumbled inwardly. Jackson had promised that she would be able to have breakfast in the office so why was he not doing anything? Was she supposed to order takeout for him as well? She was mulling over this when Summer appeared in her line of sight, walking elegantly toward her. As Summer wal
Jackson was powerless when faced with Tiffany’s coquettish manner and spoilt tone. “Fine, fine, fine. We’ll go home. You’re in charge of dragging me back if I lose control. Using brute force is fine too. I don’t want any drama.”Tiffany relaxed once he relented. “Alright, you better keep your promise. I’m going to call Ari. I haven’t spoken to her in days.”She happily conveyed her decision to Arianne once the call was connected, “Ari, I’m preparing to have children. I’m sick of getting nagged at all the time. I’m going to go crazy if I don’t give birth to a child soon. Jackson and I just went for a checkup, and we’re both fine. For now, we’ll just have to try. We’ll probably have a child soon. Will you be our child’s godmother, Ari? I’m definitely going to cling onto your coattails…”Arianne easily concealed her disappointment and lightly replied, “Sure. Plan your pregnancy! I’m waiting for your good news. I’ll definitely treat your child like my own.” After all, she would not be able
She bit her lips, keeping quiet. Then, with great difficulty, she revealed the painful truth, “I… I’m pregnant… Y-you b*stard! You know I can’t have kids. Why do you have to do this to me? Do you know how much pain I’m in? Tiffie is aching to get pregnant… She should be the one going through this. Why me? I hate you!”She ended the call immediately after wailing and shouting at him. After that, she rejected all his calls and did not reply to all his messages. She had completely broken down at this moment and needed some quiet time on her own....Tremont Tower, the CEO’s office.Mark smashed his phone angrily. His secretary, who was sitting outside, trembled in fear. He knocked on the door tentatively. “Mr. Tremont? Is everything alright?”The intense and vicious aura around Mark was terrifying at this moment. He narrowed his eyes behind glasses. A mess of complicated emotions could be seen swirling in the depths of his eyes.It was too late for regrets now. He was not in the best stat
“As for the heat, go with your instincts. Not too big or too small. You won’t know what to do if the flames are too high anyway,” Jackson continued, “This is all I can do to help you. The most important is the amount of seasoning. I’m not sure how to explain this to you but don’t put in too much! Don’t fool yourself into thinking that it’s not enough. That would be a big mistake. This is especially true for salt! If you’re confident in your cooking skills, you can add an egg or some vegetables in the noodles. This will improve the color. After all, ramen alone would look too plain.”Mark remembered every single step that Jackson had mentioned and got to work.Tiffany and Jackson looked at each other when they heard the sound of clanging pots and pans in the background. Realization suddenly dawned on Jackson. “There’s no way Mark’s in the Tremont Estate. He’s with Ari. Did pigs learn to fly? He’s actually cooking…”“What did you say?” Mark said snappily.Jackson hurriedly ended the call
Since he admitted to his mistake in such a straightforward manner, and his attitude was particularly good. Arianne could not bring herself to throw a tantrum. Instead, she calmly said, “There is no ‘if’. The doctors have already explained it very clearly. There’s no loophole here. You’re always hurting me, Mark Tremont. I hate it.”Although she spoke calmly, her words were like needles that pierced his heart. This was not the first time she said she hated him. However, this time, it hurt much more compared to before. “I know it’s my fault, but the matter isn’t set in stone. Regardless, we should discuss it after the checkup.”Arianne lost the interest to continue the conversation once she thought about having to go to the hospital and everything she would have to face. However, there was no avoiding it.She glanced at Mark’s untouched ramen. She felt annoyed. She had eaten it without any complaints, and yet, he would not even eat the food he cooked?“Eat the noodles.”Seeing that she w
Tiffany almost missed the implications behind Jackson’s words. When realization dawned on her, she was pleasantly surprised. He was defending his father. He was clearly worried Tiffany would misunderstand his father. This was a good sign. “I know, I know. Your dad has a poker-face, and he’s quiet so he looks a little intimidating. Honestly, I was just being sensitive since I haven’t been living a high-flying lifestyle for a while now. I know how hard it is to earn money so I think it’s unnecessary to hire a housekeeper. When your dad said your family is not lacking that small bit of money, I just felt self-conscious. That’s all,” she explained. “I know my status is a lot lower than yours and that’s why I’m working hard to be worthy of you. Don’t worry. I know your dad doesn’t harbor any ill intention. I’m just being sensitive, that’s all.”A smile bloomed on Jackson’s face. “Hey, you’re more than worthy of me. Don’t ever think otherwise.”At this moment, his phone beeped, indicating t
