Dangerous Love: You Are My One and Only Bride novel Chapter 633

“I went shopping with Aye so I thought I’d drop by. I’ve waited for three hours for you. Where did you go?” Tiffany asked, acting as though nothing had happened.

“I… went to meet a client and had lunch before I came back. Have you eaten? I can order takeout for you.” It was obvious that Jackson was deliberately avoiding meeting her gaze. However, he did not forget to be considerate and asked if she had eaten.

“There’s no need for that. I just came to see you. I’ll grab a bite to eat on my way home. You should go back to work.” After she finished speaking, she rose to her feet and left immediately. At this moment, she felt her vision blurring from her tears that were threatening to fall. However, she forced herself to hold them back.

...

That night, Jackson called and said that he would not be going back to the West residence after work since he had to have dinner with a client. He told her to have dinner on her own. She agreed without a fuss. However, as soon as the call ended, she burst into tears. Since Arianne was pregnant, she could not bring herself to burden Arianne with her problems. She was afraid of riling Arianne up. In the end, she chose to endure it. However, the more she endured it, the more agonizing it was for her.

Jackson finally returned at around 11 PM. She lay in bed, quietly listening to his movements in the shower. When he climbed into bed, she pretended to be asleep.

He did not try to ‘wake’ her to be intimate with her. He did not even notice the dampness of her pillow.

Needless to say, Tiffany did not sleep well. She would fall asleep before she was startled awake. This happened repeatedly. The thoughts in her mind would not go away. She stared at the man lying next to her who was fast asleep. She could not bring herself to hate him. Instead, her mind was filled with questions. She wondered what she had done wrong. Were men truly incapable of resisting temptation?

She managed to pull through until morning dawned.

Jackson woke up at 7 AM sharp and planted a kiss on her forehead as usual. Then, he went to wash up.

She tried her best to force a smile on her face. “Nothing. I’m just… in a bad mood for some reason. You know… women have this issue for a few days every month. Stop asking.”

Jackson was puzzled. “You period came early this month? It arrived on the 15th of last month… It’s only the 10th. I wonder if your irregular period is the reason why we haven’t been able to conceive. Would you like to go for a checkup?”

Tiffany exploded at the mention of pregnancy. “I don’t want kids! Not now, not ever. So stop asking about it!” His heart was not with her anymore. Why should they have a child? Did he expect her to take care of his child like a long-suffering wife? Now that she thought about it, she realized not many people would be able to do what Summer did. Summer had single-handedly raised Jackson to adulthood. She was not that amazing, she would not and could not do it!

Jackson hit the accelerator. “What’s wrong with you? If something is bothering you, talk to me… Don’t throw a tantrum and keep me guessing.”
