A Ruling Passion – Chapter 0633

“I went shopping with Aye so I thought I’d drop by. I’ve waited for three hours for you. Where did you go?” Tiffany asked, acting as though nothing had happened.

“I... went to meet a client and had lunch before I came back. Have you eaten? I can order takeout for you.” It was obvious that Jackson was deliberately avoiding meeting her gaze. However, he did not forget to be considerate and asked if she had eaten.

“There’s no need for that. I just came to see you. I’ll grab a bite to eat on my way home. You should go back to work.” After she finished speaking, she rose to her feet and left immediately. At this moment, she felt her vision blurring from her tears that were threatening to fall. However, she forced herself to hold them back.

That night, Jackson called and said that he would not be going back to the West residence after work since he had to have dinner with a client. He told her to have dinner on her own. She agreed without a fuss. However, as soon as the call ended, she burst into tears. Since Arianne was pregnant, she could not bring herself to burden Arianne with her problems. She was afraid of riling Arianne up. In the end, she chose to endure it. However, the more she endured it, the more agonizing it was for her.
