Chapter 209 Not Wanting to Be Mrs. Frane
Lillian's eyelashes fluttered as she smiled, "I was thinking I also tied a tie for you before. Do you remember?"
Jackson's Adam's apple bobbed. Of course, he remembered, but this wasn't what he wanted to hear.
He just felt utterly disappointed and said coldly, "No."
Lillian gave a bitter smile inwardly. She knew he must have forgotten everything.
After all, it was all ten years ago.
It was his coming-of-age ceremony, a significant event for the eldest son, Jackson, of the Frane Family.
It symbolized his true growth as the future leader of the Frane Family, who had to shoulder heavy responsibility and usher in his era.
The ceremony naturally had to be grand and full of solemnity.
The Franes had been preparing the ceremony three months, and it was then that Lillian insisted on helping Jackson tie his tie on such a significant day.
She made the request, and Jackson agreed without hesitation.
For this, Lillian consulted the servants, studied on video, practiced on mannequins, and determined to tie the most beautiful tie for Jackson.
Finally, on the day of the ceremony, Jackson put on his tailored tuxedo, solemn and dignified, as if he had transformed from a big boy into a man overnight.
Lillian pushed open the door with the tie in hand and ran into the room to see Jackson standing by the window. She was momentarily stunned, feeling both unfamiliar and a hint of romantic feeling stirring in her heart.
Jackson waved at her, revealing a familiar smile, and she shyly approached him with a flushed face.
Lillian was very nervous. She developed late since she had been abused by Bob for two years. At that time, she was already in junior high school but still looked like a child.
She tiptoed and almost jumped up, but she couldn't reach Jackson's neck and couldn't put the tie around his neck.
The servants standing nearby were all laughing, and she blushed in embarrassment.
"Jackson, you're doing this on purpose! Please bend down!" Lillian was on the verge of tears.
Jackson suddenly burst into laughter and then bent down.
However, contrary to what she had in mind, he bent down and lifted her, raising an eyebrow. "Alright, I won't tease you anymore."
She had practiced well, but she was very flustered and made mistakes twice in a row.
Daisy was getting impatient and came over to check. Upon entering the room and seeing the scene, she immediately became angry.
"What's going on? Stop this nonsense! Put her down and let me do it," Daisy urged sternly.
Lillian lowered her head in shame and frustration, but Jackson didn't put her down. Instead, he lifted her a bit higher and said, "It's okay. Don't be afraid."
She still remembered his gentle and indulgent tone at that moment.
She felt happy, gathered her courage, and continued helping him tie the tie.
Daisy exclaimed, "You shouldn't have allowed Lillian to tie ties for you! That's what your wife should do. Your future wife wouldn't be happy to know. After all, you’re not related by blood. You..."
Daisy was abruptly interrupted by Jackson's stern gaze.
Jackson casually said, "Mom, you are too narrow-minded. If my future wife can't accept Lillian, I won't accept her, either. I'm willing to let Lillian tie my tie for a lifetime. Who dares to object?"
Daisy felt a headache at his wards, so she held her forehead and left.
But later on, when Lillian became Jackson's wife, he was unwilling to return home.
Lillian never expected that the only time she would tie a tie for him after their marriage would be under such circumstances.
So, at this moment, she tied it very seriously and slowly, like a stray child savoring the last precious piece of cake in secret.
However, Jackson suddenly snatched the tie from Lillian's hand and said coldly, "Alright. If you don't want to be my wife, don't do what you shouldn't do."
With that, Jackson opened the car door and got out.
