“Stop it, you. You clearly want to go to sleep, and you’re using the baby as an excuse,” Jackson exclaimed snobbishly. “It’s agreed. We’re sleeping together. Don’t touch me or I won’t be able to sleep well and wake up tonight, and... Do whatever you want.”…Nighttime, Smith Estate.Jett drove Alejandro back from the hospital and helped him into a wheelchair. However, this time, it was no longer an act.Don Smith had prohibited Alejandro from getting medical treatment in the hospital for his legs, so he was discharged early. From now on, a personal doctor would administer an IV to him in order to decrease the inflammation.Jett stayed silent the whole time, unnerved. He had never expected so much to happen over the past few days, all during his time off of work. Alejandro’s real identity was no longer a secret, but Don Smith hadn’t had time to speak to him yet. He had been by Alejandro’s side for a while, so it would be impossible for him to say that he was unaware of it. He wasn’
Jett kept his head very low, answering, “I did not. He’d always be extra cautious with me. He wouldn’t let me get too close to him.”Obviously, the old man didn’t believe him, commenting, “I’ve always liked you, Jett. I hope you’re not lying to me. You’re very different from how you used to be. You used to be a loner, but now, you have a family to feed…”Jett frowned, “Sir, I really had no idea. I’ve never… Betrayed you either.”Melanie hesitated for two seconds when she heard this, then strode forward. “Grandfather, may I have a word with you in private?”Don Smith’s face switched to a kindly expression when he saw Melanie. “Of course. Come, talk to me. Jett, you may be excused.”Jett shot Melanie a grateful look, then hurried away.Melanie secretly let out a sigh of relief, then got straight to the point. “Grandfather, it was wrong of Alex to fake his handicap and lie to you. I told him about your plans to kill Tiffany because I didn’t want him to be upset. It’s all my fault.
Suddenly, Tiffany flipped up like a carp, as if she had been startled. As a result, the pair stared at each other, cradling their foreheads in pain. Jackson never thought that Tiffany would be so careless in spite of her pregnancy, getting up so roughly like that. His forehead had ended up colliding with hers. He hadn’t even had the chance to avoid her.Tiffany was close to tears from the pain. “What were you doing? That hurt…”He was both innocent and helpless. “What do you mean? I just came upstairs to wake you up for dinner. Can’t you get up more gently? I’ve never met a more careless pregnant woman in my life. Come on, get up or the dishes will grow cold.”Tiffany went into a daze, then returned to her senses. “I dreamt that we broke up again, then I heard you calling me for dinner and remembered that we’re married, and we’ll never be apart again. But I was in a daze, so I didn’t know what was a dream and what was reality. I wanted to find out which was real as soon as possible.
Tiffany let them in. “Mom, dad, what are you doing here? It’s late and cold. You should dress warmly so you don’t catch a cold.”Summer surveyed every corner of the house as she entered. Finally, her gaze landed on the dinner table. “I was worried, so I came here to check on you. As expected, Jackson’s only just made dinner for you. Honestly, he never spares my worries. You might as well move to my house. I’d worry a lot less then.”Jackson’s ears were burning from her nagging. Of course, his face naturally thickened. “She’s only just woken up. I wasn’t starving her. Stop worrying all the time. I love her more than you.”“That’s right, Summer,” Atticus chimed in. “It’s inappropriate for you to meddle in their family. You weren’t this worried about Jackson when he was young… It’s not appropriate to come here so late…”That was why Atticus looked so awkward. However, his words had brought Summer’s displeasure. “Yes, I wasn’t this concerned about Jackson when he was younger, but these
Jackson looked at her calmly, his long nails gently tapping the table as if he was waiting for something. Summer exploded a second later. “How could you ask Tiffany to wash the dishes? A maid would be able to take care of your daily needs and it doesn’t cost much to hire one. What’s this nonsense about not liking to have strangers in the house? Excuses. You’d better change your mindset and go hire a maid, Jack!” Tiffany had never expected Summer to react so strongly. Jackson rushed over to grab the bowl that was in her hands and said, “You see? Are you deliberately trying to get my mum to nag me? Normally you wouldn’t rush to do the chores, but now that my mum’s around, you do? I’ll do it, go get some rest. I don’t wish to see strangers wandering around in my house.”Tiffany rubbed her hands helplessly, muttering, “My bad…”Summer seemed content to see Jackson walking into the kitchen. “Come here Tiffany, let’s talk.”Tiffany smiled as she walked over and sat next to Summer on
Would Jackson, a man who is usually horny, be able to resist the temptation when even she couldn’t? Tiffany did not believe that there was not a man in the world that would be able to resist seduction from other women. She would rather die if Jackson had gone out with another woman when they had just gotten married! Normally, Jackson would just brush off her advances, but not today. Today was the day she could openly ask for it, and there was no way she would miss that chance.Jackson placed her on the bed and straightened himself, ready to leave. Tiffany grabbed onto his sleeve in a flash and said, “Where are you going? Didn’t we agree on it this afternoon? Come on, it’s our wedding day! Can’t you let me do as I please just for today? It’s so difficult to live a plain and bland life everyday…”Jackson burst into laughter and said, “Alright alright! I’m just going for a shower, what are you thinking? I’ll be right back, so you be a good girl and wait for me.”She then let go of his
When it was over, she held his hand up in the air and uttered, “You’re now bound to me by this ring, hence you’re forbidden from looking at other women, not even a glance.”He embraced her from behind, closing his palms and firmly holding her hand. “Would I have to look at other women now that I have you? I stopped looking a long time ago. Get some sleep, I’ll accompany you for your checkup tomorrow.”She turned her head and kissed his forehead. “I can feel the baby moving.”He was slightly surprised, as this was the first time she had said she was able to feel the baby moving. “When?”She said embarrassedly, “While we were doing it just now…”He chuckled and placed his hand on her belly. “It’s got nothing to do with me; your mum’s the one who’s ‘greedy’.”The next day, at the Tremont Estate.The temperature began to drop as the weather changed, causing Smore’s nose to be runny and for him to keep coughing. Arianne was considering taking the day off and sending Smore to the hosp
When they arrived at the obstetrics and gynecology department, Tiffany was so hungry, it made her feel unwell. “I’m so hungry. The doctor previously mentioned not to have breakfast for today’s checkup.”Jackson said to her in a gentle tone, “It’s fine, I’ll bring you out to eat when you’re done with the checkup.”Tiffany did not realise it at that moment, but she was asked to not eat because she needed to have her blood drawn. Well done, Jackson. Tiffany’s face paled and panicked when she saw tubes and tubes of blood being drawn from her.Jackson put pressure on the position where her blood had been drawn with a cotton wool carefully as he said, “It’ll be over soon. Just a little bit more blood to be drawn. You don’t seem like the type to be short of blood, so stop scaring me.”She shot him an angry look. “I’m neither anemic nor dizzy, I’m panicking!”Suddenly, Jackson saw two figures at the hallway through the edge of his eyes. One of them was Tanya while the other was obviously
