Dangerous Love: You Are My One and Only Bride novel Chapter 706

Jackson soon arrived downstairs after washing up. He had put on some clothes first before coming downstairs, as Lillian was around. “Good morning, Mrs. Lane,” he said.

Lillian curled her lips. “Tiffany calls your parents mom and dad, and you call me ‘Mrs. Lane’. How amusing.”

Jackson immediately tensed. “Mom… It was only a slip of the tongue, just a slip of the tongue. I hope you don’t mind. What are you doing so early in the day?”

Lillian was too embarrassed to reveal her rotten affair. “Nothing, just an impulse decision. Aren’t you busy? Hurry up and eat, then get to work. I’ll be going home soon.”

Jackson wasn’t used to having one more person in the house. He finished his breakfast hesitantly, then threw the plates into the sink. “I’ll wash these when I get home. It’s almost time to go. Tiffie, you’d better hurry up and change.”

Tiffany quickly ran upstairs. “Okay, I’ll be done in five minutes!”

Lillian suddenly carried the airs of a housewife. She walked into the kitchen and washed the dishes. “How can these be left in the sink until you come home? I’ll clean up, you go ahead. I’ll lock the door when I leave.”

Jackson felt a little apologetic. “Then… I’m sorry for the trouble, mom. This is how life’s been for Tiffie and I, living alone together. We’re usually very casual…”

Tiffany was taken aback. “I was wondering where that name card had disappeared to. Did you take it? He had someone give it to me. I don’t even know what he looks like. I don’t know him at all. He just gave me a bottle of liquor when I was drinking in his bar… I used to frequent that bar, so he’s probably seen me before.” She did not mention Alejandro’s part in sending Grant away to him.

Jackson furrowed his brow. “He used to be based in Ayashe and has only just moved to the capital. When did he start a bar here?”

Tiffany wasn’t too sure herself. “Maybe he bought it after moving here? I don’t know either. I used to like going to nightclubs, but I never really paid attention to their bosses. Why? Do you know him?”

Jackson shook his head. “No. I’ve only heard of him. The Smith family is the most affluent family in Ayashe. I don’t know Alejandro at all. Apparently, he had a car accident many years ago, lost the use of his legs, and was confined to a wheelchair. He’s handicapped and two years younger than me. He never married. However, that isn’t a barrier to his knack in business. He’s very shrewd. You can’t deal with someone like him, and I certainly don’t want another man in my woman’s life, not even if he’s a cripple. You are not allowed to contact him.”
