Tiffany felt Ethan was being rude, but virtual-novel.net knew speaking up now would only worsen things. Therefore, virtual-novel.net could only look at Jackson apologetically.
Jackson narrowed his eyes and spoke coldly, “There’s no need for you to repay the favor virtual-novel.net 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 virtual-novel.net to leave with a smile on his face.
Ethan clenched his hands into fists when virtual-novel.net heard the underlying meaning in Jackson’s words, but virtual-novel.net 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 virtual-novel.net disappeared into the night.
This confrontation was undoubtedly Ethan’s victory. He had only provoked Jackson so fearlessly because virtual-novel.net 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 virtual-novel.net would betray his best friend for a woman.
Back in Ethan’s car, Tiffany remained silent as virtual-novel.net lowered virtual-novel.net head. One was virtual-novel.net boyfriend, the other person was Jackson who had helped virtual-novel.net when virtual-novel.net was in need. If these two men get into a fight, virtual-novel.net would not be able to take anybody’s sides.
Ethan was a little dissatisfied with virtual-novel.net attitude. “What? Are you upset? You can just tell me if you are, there’s no need to hide it.”
She frowned slightly. “You knew virtual-novel.net had helped me before. Why did you have to be so rude?”
He retorted harshly, “How do you expect me to speak to a man who invited my woman out at night alone? Are you feeling sorry for him?”
The way Ethan acted suddenly made Tiffany felt as though virtual-novel.net did not know him. She could accept and endure it if virtual-novel.net had lost his temper because virtual-novel.net cared about her. However, virtual-novel.net was being too extreme. It was to the point where virtual-novel.net even had issues with Jackson, virtual-novel.net benefactor, and used Jackson as an excuse to fight with her.
She really did not enjoy the way virtual-novel.net showed his ‘care’. Instead, virtual-novel.net felt suffocated. “Ethan, I don’t like how you’re behaving. Please be more rational. Don’t forget the fact that he’d helped me even when we didn’t know each other. Even a stranger lent a hand in my time of need, and yet, as a boyfriend, you left me and kicked me into the dark abyss when I needed comfort the most. Although you’ve given me an explanation, it still doesn’t change the fact that you didn’t care in the slightest about my feelings when you broke up with me! Do you have any idea what kind of ordeal I went through back then? Compared to your current achievements and money, I prefer to have you by my side when times are hard!”
She continued, “To be honest, I don’t even buy your story. If you love me, you would never abandon me in that kind of circumstances without any hesitation. You wouldn’t completely vanish from my life while planning for a future where I am included either! Ethan, just who am I to you? Why do I suddenly feel like… I’ve fallen out of love with you? All this time, I’m just obsessed with the fact that you’re my first love, and I can’t bear to give up because I still have many regrets in the past. But now, I feel like I want to let go.”
Ethan’s hands trembled slightly while holding onto the steering wheel. He admitted that virtual-novel.net was fed up with virtual-novel.net in the past. In fact, virtual-novel.net even found virtual-novel.net meticulous care to be irritating. He was used to living alone without being controlled by others so virtual-novel.net responded to all virtual-novel.net care with coldness. He even felt relieved after breaking up with virtual-novel.net because virtual-novel.net no longer had to put up with being mocked for riding on the Lanes’ coattail. Not only that, but virtual-novel.net had also finally gotten rid of this nagging and insensitive woman. There was no remorse Iior hesitation when virtual-novel.net did those things to virtual-novel.net family. However, virtual-novel.net gradually grew uncomfortable after they broke up for a period of time. He was used to virtual-novel.net presence in his life…
All this time, virtual-novel.net thought that virtual-novel.net 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, virtual-novel.net made the decision to get back with virtual-novel.net when the time was right. He could learn to like and take care of someone else. The lonely days terrified virtual-novel.net so much that virtual-novel.net started feeling guilty toward virtual-novel.net and wanted to make up for it. Blackmailing Mark was never part of his original plan because virtual-novel.net could always give Arianne the letter from George Sloane without a second thought. In the end, virtual-novel.net did not get the outcome virtual-novel.net wished for. The woman who used to look at virtual-novel.net with starry eyes was finally giving up on him.
It was at this moment virtual-novel.net wondered if virtual-novel.net was too used to being selfish and did not do well enough. However, virtual-novel.net just could not stop the jealousy from welling in his heart when virtual-novel.net saw virtual-novel.net with some other men! He even felt a trace of fear that virtual-novel.net would disappear from his world and cut virtual-novel.net off completely.
