She grabbed the bedsheets, losing control. “H-how should I know? He never discussed it with me. How would I know what goes on in his mind?”
Jackson’s eyes held no desire as he stared at her blurry eyes and blushing cheeks. He knew that women never lied during times like this.
He got up and flashed a smile. “At least, you’re honest.”
Tiffany was both embarrassed and frustrated. “Jackson West! You’ve crossed a line! What do you think we are? You toy with me when you want to and discard me when it suits you? Am I no different from other women? Get this right — I am not your toy!”
He was taken aback. He realized that he had really crossed a line. “I did not…”
He did not? Tiffany refused to believe him at this moment. He clearly did. He had pursued her relentlessly and then suddenly ignored her. Now, he was coming at her again for some strange reason. She felt completely insulted!
She gritted her teeth and got off the bed, picking up her clothes and rushing into the bathroom. In order to prevent losing to him over strength, she locked the door before yelling at him, “Don’t play dumb with me. I must have been blind in the past. From now on, we’ll go our separate ways. Neither of us is allowed to disturb the other!”
Tiffany couldn’t help but open the door and peek out when she heard the bedroom door open and close. Jackson had gone downstairs. What did he mean? Didn’t he ignore her for a month to signal that their relationship was really and truly over? Did he take the wrong medication today? Or was toying with her a fun game to him?
She simply bathed, changed her clothes and grabbed her bag, planning to slip away before he had finished with his shower. When she arrived downstairs, she realized that the door had been locked by a key from the inside. She would have to unlock it with a key. Jackson had previously given her a set of keys, and she had always had them in her handbag. She had forgotten to give them back to him when she came over last night. It was now time to use them.
Unfortunately, she couldn’t find the keys at all when she reached into her bag. Just as she was lost in confusion, she heard Jackson’s impish voice. “Looking for this?”
