A Ruling Passion – Chapter 0839

This was Summer’s first time meddling in his personal affairs. It didn’t actually annoy Jackson, but he instinctively tried to solidify Tiffany’s image in Summer’s mind. “She hasn’t been going home at night because she’s been sleeping at mine. What are you thinking? I’m aware of everything you’ve said. Don’t worry. You haven’t answered my question, who told you? You couldn’t have sent someone to investigate, could you? Are you really that bored?”

“Oh, she’s really been sleeping over at your place?” Summer questioned. “There’s still hope for you two then? Tiffie’s housemate told me... You know, that girl named Tanya. She seemed like an honest girl, so I don’t think she’d be lying to me. Besides, she’s Tiffie’s friend. I certainly wouldn’t send an investigator. I’m not that bored!”

Tanya told her? Something didn’t feel right to Jackson. Wasn’t Tanya aware of Tiffany’s sleepovers at his place? Or perhaps... Had Tiffany been sleeping over in someone else’s home, aside from his? The more he thought of it, the more upset he became. “If there’s nothing else, I’ve got to go, mom. It’s not what you think, so stop worrying.”

He had just taken two steps when Summer reminded him, “If you plan on accepting whatever happened, you must accept it thoroughly. Don’t burden the girl. Life isn’t smooth-sailing. You’ll always run into the unexpected, but it doesn’t mean that you don’t deserve happiness in the next part of your life. I can tell that you’re truly in love with her, which is why I’m putting in so much effort.”

Obviously, Jackson could detect the underlying meaning in Summer’s reminder. He couldn’t help feeling moved despite his mess of complicated feelings. “I know... Mom, thank you for understanding. I’m coming home for dinner tonight. See you.”
