Dangerous Love: You Are My One and Only Bride novel Chapter 425

Tiffany felt Ethan was being rude, but she knew speaking up now would only worsen things. Therefore, she could only look at Jackson apologetically.

Jackson narrowed his eyes and spoke coldly, “There’s no need for you to repay the favor she owes me. I wasn’t doing you a favor in your absence since both of you were broken up back then. It’s not very nice of you to speak in this manner. God is always watching. Sometimes, you have to forgive others to forgive yourself. A mistake can be forgiven, but repeated mistakes will only prove that a leopard never changes its spots.”

Tiffany was taken aback. She did not expect Jackson would talk back to Ethan. After all, that man never took things personally. She had expected him to leave with a smile on his face.

Ethan clenched his hands into fists when he heard the underlying meaning in Jackson’s words, but he wore a mocking smile on his face. “You seem to have a huge problem with me. What is it that you want to say? Just say it to my face, there’s no need to hold anything back.”

There was no way Jackson could do that, and Ethan knew it. Jackson had no choice but to endure for Mark’s sake. He glanced at Tiffany and ignored Ethan’s provocation. He reversed his car a little before he disappeared into the night

This confrontation was undoubtedly Ethan’s victory. He had only provoked Jackson so fearlessly because he knew the man would not reveal the truth. Jackson was never one to be swayed by women despite being surrounded by so many. There was no way he would betray his best friend for a woman.

Back in Ethan’s car, Tiffany remained silent as she lowered her head. One was her boyfriend, the other person was Jackson who had helped her when she was in need. If these two men got into a fight, she would not be able to take anybody’s sides.

Ethan was a little dissatisfied with her attitude. “What? Are you upset? You can just tell me if you are, there’s no need to hide it.”

Ethan’s hands trembled slightly while holding onto the steering wheel. He admitted that he was fed up with her in the past. In fact, he even found her meticulous care to be irritating. He was used to living alone without being controlled by others so he responded to all her care with coldness. He even felt relieved after breaking up with her because he no longer had to put up with being mocked for riding on the Lanes’ coattail. Not only that, but he had also finally gotten rid of this nagging and insensitive woman. There was no remorse nor hesitation when he did those things to her family. However, he gradually grew uncomfortable after they broke up for a period of time. He was used to her presence in his life...

All this time, he thought that he had only one purpose in life, and it was none other than to bring Mark Tremont down. However, Tiffany was a surprise to him. Hence, he made the decision to get back with her when the time was right. He could learn to like and take care of someone else. The lonely days terrified him so much that he started feeling guilty toward her and wanted to make up for it. Blackmailing Mark was never part of his original plan because he could always give Arianne the letter from George Sloane without a second thought. In the end, he did not get the outcome he wished for. The woman who used to look at him with starry eyes was finally giving up on him.

It was at this moment he wondered if he was too used to being selfish and did not do well enough. However, he just could not stop the jealousy from welling in his heart when he saw her with some other men! He even felt a trace of fear that she would disappear from his world and cut him off completely.
