Dangerous Love: You Are My One and Only Bride novel Chapter 244

“Give me a reason. Don’t tell me that someone your age is still afraid of sleeping alone. Are you afraid of the dark?” Tiffany asked him jokingly.

“Something like that. Give it a thought.” Jackson got up and poured himself a glass of wine then drank half of it in one go.

Tiffany thought about it, but still refused in the end. “The cab I hailed is arriving soon. Besides… it's not appropriate for us to do this. I heard from Eric that your marriage has been internally decided, which means you already have a partner. Why are you asking me to do something like this instead of your fiancée? I don’t want to be criticized by someone else. Come on now, there’s nothing scary about sleeping alone. Don’t worry so much.”

Jackson smiled, somewhat self-deprecatingly. “My fiancée? Didn’t you see her at the restaurant last time? She isn’t like you.”

Tiffany was suddenly at a loss for words. What did he mean by that? Was he insulting her? Being here with Jackson alone made her feel awkward. She could only hope the cab she called would come quickly. After waiting for more than half an hour, there was still no call. Tiffany finally asked, “Can you help me check where the cab is? Why hasn’t it arrived yet…?”

Jackson took out his phone and waved it in front of her eyes. “I cancelled it. No cab is coming. Besides, it’s not safe for you to take a cab this late at night.”

She puffed up her cheeks in anger. “Why are you like this? How can you force someone to sleep with you? Aren’t you being a jerk…?”

Jackson smirked at her. He leaned toward her, effectively trapping Tiffany between the sofa and his body. “Let’s just say that I am being a jerk to you. You’ll be paid for it. Why don’t you reconsider?”

She shot him a glare. “No! I’m still an innocent girl. Don’t you dare mess with me! Get off! I’ll go out and hail a cab myself!”

Tiffany frowned. “Let’s not… It’s too dangerous to drink and drive. You can go back by yourself first, I’d rather walk home myself since I don’t have to work over the weekend. I’m fine with walking home until dawn, at least I can sleep the entire day away after that.”

Jackson turned the car around and headed directly back to the White Water Bay Villa area. “Let me get off first!” Tiffany tried to stop him.

“You sleep on the sofa, I sleep on the bed.” He quickly made the final decision without giving her a chance to go back on her words.

Tiffany never expected that she would be back to square one after going through so much trouble. Had she known that, she might as well skip all those troubles. She was initially looking forward to getting a good sleep on the sofa, but the scene in front of her eyes stunned her. There was a huge red wine stain on the sofa, which had still been fine when she left earlier.
