Dangerous Love: You Are My One and Only Bride novel Chapter 258

The “forcefulness” in Jackson’s display put Tiffany at her wits’ end. She couldn’t understand what he was trying to do. How could he act as if nothing had happened after something so embarrassing? Shouldn’t he be avoiding suspicion?

When they arrived at the lower ground floor, she dawdled around, refusing to step out of the elevator. “Mr. West, don’t you think that we should be avoiding suspicion? The matter from a few days ago caused quite a scandal. You’re not married and neither am I. It would be detrimental to our reputations and developments in the future. You should go first. I’ll get a cab.”

Jackson couldn’t be bothered to listen to her going on and on. He reached out his arm, circled it around her neck, and dragged her to the car. “Mr. West? You never used to call me that. I’ve told you, it’s fine. I’m not afraid, so why should you? Get in the car.”

Her mind was distracted by the faint smell of his cologne. He wasn’t just throwing suspicion out into the open, but he was also taking everything that she had been worried about and wiping the floor with it. Did that incident really not affect him at all?

She kept her eyes outside the window in the car. She kept the window open, allowing the cold air to rush in. This way, the heat on her face wouldn’t seem too obvious. She believed that she wasn’t one of those delicate and dainty girls, so she wouldn’t blush so easily. However, it was different when she was faced with someone with a thicker face than hers—she conceded…

Just as they were about to arrive at the restaurant, she hurriedly cried out, “Stop the car here! It’ll be hard for you to stop outside the restaurant. Thanks!”

Tiffany pouted, opting to be frank and open. “I can’t keep anything from you. It was Jackson. I’ve rejected him so many times, but he insisted. I don’t know what he’s trying to do. Don’t you think that we should avoid each other now that we’re kind of in an awkward position? I’m mostly worried about catching my mother’s eye. My mom’s been going crazy trying to find a rich boyfriend for me. She misses the past a little too much—when we didn’t need to worry about food or clothes, when all we needed to do was buy them.”

Arianne had already guessed that it was Jackson behind the wheel. After everything that had happened with Ethan, she was mostly worried about Tiffany getting her feelings disappointed again. “Tiffie, you’re old enough. You should take it easy and not fall in head first again.”

Tiffany was taken aback. She lowered her eyelids to conceal her sorrow. “I’m not that stupid anymore. I won’t surrender to my own feelings again. I’m more interested in money at this point, not dating. Besides, I’ve never really thought of Jackson in that way. He is handsome but definitely not my type. I’m not his type either. We are not compatible in any way. Don’t worry, I know what to do.”
