Dangerous Love: You Are My One and Only Bride novel Chapter 423

Mark’s expression grew unnatural. “As for the rest… Well, he was more or less involved. If I were him, I might have done even more horrible things. What are you trying to say?”

Arianne thought Mark sounded as though he was like he was defending Ethan, which again, made her feel that he was not being his usual self. Even so, she did not voice her suspicion. “I’m just thinking that… if you can forgive his actions, then, I can as well. It’ll be fine as long as he truly repents and turns over a new leave after he gets back with Tiffie, lives his life well, and treats you like his elder brother.”

Mark did not say anything else and returned to his study after dinner. The expression on his face turned grim. After thinking for a moment, he sent a message to Jackson. “Tiffany Lane will be moving in with Ethan Connor.”

When Jackson received the message, he was dining at the West family residence with his mother. After reading the message, he set his phone aside quietly. He must not reply! Replying would be akin to admitting to Mark that he liked Tiffany. ‘Like’ was a ridiculous word in his dictionary. How dare Mark think that he liked Tiffany when he was not even sure of his own feelings?

When Summer noticed his little actions, and her mood turned sour. “Who sent that text, and why aren’t you replying to it? Worthless son! You finally brought back a daughter-in-law for me but someone ended up snatching her away and even proposed to her. Can you just pull yourself together?”

Jackson suddenly had a bad headache. “Mom, can we just forget about it? Why are you scolding me instead of worrying about your son’s broken heart? Aren’t you worried that I might get depressed?”

Summer rolled her eyes at him. “I’d be happy to see you depressed. I don’t think there’s even the tiniest bit of sadness in you after your breakup. You don’t even drown your sorrows by drinking like normal people, and it doesn’t even seem like you’re brokenhearted! If you like Tiffany enough, she wouldn’t have broken up with you. You only have yourself to blame for this.”

Jackson did not refute her words. “Alright, it’s my fault… Enjoy your meal. I’m done. I’ll get going now.”

“Go away. Don’t come here for a free meal again, you’re just too vexing to look at!” Summer said dully.

After leaving the West family residence, Jackson sighed in relief. He had a fleeting thought to reveal everything to Tiffany. Naturally, he would not and could not do it. His every action would determine Mark and Arianne’s future. He knew that Mark would not be able to live without Ariane...

Instead of driving back to the White Water Bay Villa immediately, he sat on the edge of the flower bed by the door and sent a message to Tiffany. “Are you free to come out now?”

He was not even sure what his intention was for sending that message. Perhaps, he was trying to stall for time?

Tiffany got into the car and was panting slightly. She said teasingly, “Why did you suddenly invite me out? You have many people to drink with. Should I feel honored?”

“You should feel honored,” Jackson replied shamelessly.

She rolled her eyes at him. “I would have ignored you if you weren’t my ex-boss. But most importantly, you’re the person who provided help in my hours of need. Although my dad didn’t survive the surgery, I still feel grateful to you.”

Jackson feigned a look of disgust and clicked his tongue. “Don’t get all emotional on me! There are times I want to do good deeds too. How are things going between you and Ethan? He really made a fanciful proposal last time. When are you guys planning to get married?”

Even if he knew that Tiffany did not plan to marry Ethan anytime soon but would move in with Ethan instead, he had to feign ignorance lest he exposed Mark. Hence, he could only beat around the bush like this.

Tiffany sighed. “Not anytime soon. He promised to give me time, and I can finally relax a bit. But… I’m moving in with him in two days…” She blurted out. Since she was not a conservative girl in this modern era, moving in with someone was something really common so she had no reason to hide it. However, she subconsciously paid attention to Jackson’s expression when she said that.
