A Ruling Passion – Chapter 0621

Tiffany almost missed the implications behind Jackson’s words. When realization dawned on her, she was pleasantly surprised. He was defending his father. He was clearly worried Tiffany would misunderstand his father. This was a good sign.

“I know, I know. Your dad has a poker-face, and he’s quiet so he looks a little intimidating. Honestly, I was just being sensitive since I haven’t been living a high-flying lifestyle for a while now. I know how hard it is to earn money so I think it’s unnecessary to hire a housekeeper. When your dad said your family is not lacking that small bit of money, I just felt self-conscious. That’s all,” she explained. “I know my status is a lot lower than yours and that’s why I’m working hard to be worthy of you. Don’t worry. I know your dad doesn’t harbor any ill intention. I’m just being sensitive, that’s all.”

A smile bloomed on Jackson’s face. “Hey, you’re more than worthy of me. Don’t ever think otherwise.”

At this moment, his phone beeped, indicating that he had received a message. Since his phone was connected to the car’s Bluetooth-enabled speakers, it was loud enough for Tiffany to catch it.

Her eyes widened in curiosity and a hint of suspicion could be seen in them. There was even a small thrill of discovering a secret. Her eyes darted to him.
