Chapter 70: Why Not Tonight?
To Love You Again, My Husband
Chapter 70: Why Not Tonight? Airina clapped her hands, feeling happy after the dinner with everyone present in her house. It is indeed time for the interrogation to move on. She glanced at Jackson who obediently fed Gly. She turned away from her, smiling at Matthew.
“So, what do you have to do here, Mat?”
He shrugged, “Get a break before going home.”
Airina bit her lower lip, “Could that time be any minute now? You see, I need to talk to them privately,” she pointed her chin towards Vivien, “And, uh, I’d be very indebted if you could kindly give the guests comfort.”
Matthew sighed. He approached her and nodded his head. Then, he patted her shoulder while mischievously smiling while pointing at Jackson through his teasing smile and eyes. In the end, after he left, Airina smiled at Vivien warmly.
“I found out through Evan that you two are indeed dating. It had been three months, right? So, I won’t say anything that would stop you two from loving each other.”Owned by NôvelDrama.Org.
She tilted her head at Evan and teased.
“I just wonder what traits Evan has that you got caught up with him. Do you really like Evan?”
Vivien shyly beamed a smile and vigorously nodded her head. “I am certain I love Evan. He may make decisions at times driven by his emotions, but he is a good guy. I am… looking forward to spending more time with him and resuming the journey we have.”
Airina was touched. Now, not only her, but Evan has got his girlfriend to shower him with love and care. The only left to do was to get him close to Wendy, their mother. He had always kept his distance from their mother, which made it harder for the two to settle the scores.
But she was no stranger to the current mood right now. Including that sensitive subject right now isn’t ideal, not when Vivien and Jackson are here.
She motioned the two.
“The night is getting deeper, Evan. I bid you two goodbyes, and oh, have you used the car Jackson gave to you?”
Evan cleared his throat, “… Yeah, I used it earlier, and when I get home.”
Airina smiled at him, “Why don’t you thank him now, then?”
“Do I have to?”
Airina’s expression froze. “Nonetheless, I have to talk with Jackson, so I have a good night you two.”
Evan frowned, not saying anything towards Jackson who cracked a smile at him. He watched Evan hold hands with Vivien and suddenly got jealous. He wanted to do the same with Airina, but he was reminded of what Matthew had told him about his relationship, not a smooth sailing one.
He knew that but he took the risk.
He asked Airina and let Gly into her small house. “You have something to tell me?”
Airina stared at him and looked away. “Not really but I do have a question. What will you do to someone who refuses to talk to his mother?”
“Evan does?”
She faced him who narrowed their distance from each other.
“How did you know about that?”
He smiled, “It was obvious. Regarding your question, I do recommend that you talk some sense into him. Well, adults should take the initiative. Evan is a good kid; he would understand if he knew how serious the situation is.”
“He’s deprived of mother. And from his young age, he had always believed that our mother never cared for us.”
Jackson sympathetically shook his head. “Maybe I could help? I can talk to Evan.”
Airina giggled. Evan refuses to talk to Jackson, who had now broached the offer of them discussing this? She doubts Evan will ever listen to him, considering how his hatred is placed inside his heart.
“Evan cares so much that his hatred will get the best of him than being kind in that situation,” she lightly smiled, “Thank you for the advice. You can leave… now.”
Jackson glanced at the door, hesitant. “… I need to go right now?”
“Of course. Why?”
He suggested, “Can I not stay the night?”
Airina inhaled a deep breath, squinting her eyes at him and smirking.
“No, you should leave now.”
Thus, he didn’t pursue it anymore. He simply agreed to whatever she pleases and when the door was closed, out of her knowledge, elevated her hand to touch her forehead. Jackson often pecks her forehead so why did he not do it tonight? Did he forget?
