A Ruling Passion – Chapter 0527

Jackson took a deep breath. “Would you like to split the hotel bill evenly with me too? I don’t need you to save money for me, why are you calculating the flight tickets with me? I have more than enough time to pick you up from your house, but I didn’t, and you’re not mad at me either. You didn’t even ask me about it. In my opinion, these things show that you don’t care at all.” He had always been the apathetic one in a relationship, it was what he was familiar with. Now that the roles were reversed, he did not know what to do. He was panicking.

Tiffany’s slow-moving brain finally sped up. She finally realized he was not acting out because he was tired of her or regretted dating her. She sighed in relief. “It’s not that... I don’t care. I just don’t want to spend your money before we take things further in our relationship. I’m afraid your mother might think that I agreed to date you for your money..."

:I know this small amount of money doesn’t matter to you, but this is my dignity. I assumed you didn’t pick me up because you had something important to attend to. Why should I sulk because of that? It’s not that I don’t care, I’m just trying to understand you! You... Are you angry at me because of that?”

Jackson’s rage was greatly reduced after hearing her explanation. It quickly transformed into guilt. He had always thought that living a happy life together was good enough so he really did not think too much about it. He did not consider her worries. Furthermore, he did not expect her to be so concerned about his mother’s opinion of her. She had even tried to understand his lack of consideration and thought he was simply too busy. She seemed very thoughtful, no matter how he looked at it.

If that were the case, then there was no need for this discussion. However, he could see a hint of inferiority in her eyes. How could a cheerful girl like her possibly feel inferior? Why did she have to lower herself to this extent? She was entirely welcomed to throw a tantrum at him. In fact, she had the right to do so.
