Chapter 385 Helpless
"Forget it. Don't bother explaining." Lillian pushed him and tried to stand up from his lap.
Jackson tightened his embrace, pressed his forehead against hers, and said, "Darling, I'm sorry. I say something wrong again."
His voice was filled with helplessness, and the word "darling" carried an inexplicable tenderness that struck Lillian's heart.
Lillian's heart seemed to skip a beat, but she clenched her fists, resisting the fluttering feeling and staying clear-headed.
She wasn't that humble and didn't want to forgive a man like Jackson, who was full of lies to his wife.
Because lies, like cheating and domestic violence, once happened and would continue countless times.
When trust collapsed, rebuilding it was like patching up a heart, and it was not that easy.
Jackson comforted Lillian. "Get some rest. Tomorrow, I'll take you to Serenity Haven Manor to meet Star, and you'll understand everything. As for you saying I lied about being in a meeting, wasn't I leaving the hospital at that time?"
Lillian pressed her lips together and nodded.
At that time, Jackson was indeed walking out of the hospital building with Star, heading towards the parking lot.
Jackson's expression grew more helpless, and he lifted Lillian's chin and said, "I had a very important video conference to attend at that time. Terry was already leading the discussion when I got in the car. I wasn't lying to you."
Lillian's eyes were confused. She frowned, and even her slightly upturned nose wrinkled a bit.
She looked troubled and puzzled.
She thought, 'Is it all really a misunderstanding? Am I just seeking trouble for myself?'
Lillian felt a bit lost and helpless.
At that moment, she felt a pain on the tip of her nose. Jackson had suddenly bitten her lightly.
Lillian's crystal eyes welled up with tears as she glared at him. Jackson's eyes held a hint of anger as he sneered. "What? Are you disappointed that I'm not the jerk you thought I was?"
Lillian felt both embarrassed and angry as she retorted, "Whether you're a jerk or not isn't clear yet. Why wait until tomorrow to take me to Serenity Haven Manor? Why not explain now? What are you planning?"
A shadow immediately crossed Jackson's face. He pinched Lillian's chin and said fiercely, "Can't you have a little trust in me? Do you have to assume me the worst?"
"I..." Lillian wanted to retort, but Jackson suddenly moved closer and sealed her lips with his.
Lillian's breath was filled with his scent. She tried to resist, but his teasing made her breath increasingly erratic.
Jackson remembered how Lillian used to be indifferent and resistant when he kissed her before. This time, he deliberately tormented her, determined to awaken her deepest desires.
He kissed her with varying intensity and didn't give her a chance to breathe or clear her mind.
Lillian raised her hand to push against his chest, but through the thin shirt, she felt Jackson's muscular body. His heartbeat intertwined with hers.
A muffled gasp escaped from his chest, spilling through their tightly entwined lips. It was so eager, hoarse, and full of passion.
Lillian had never known that Jackson's gasps could be so dangerously seductive.
This kiss made her feel that Jackson, who was usually aloof, truly loved her.
It felt like he was giving her the whole world, and in his heart, at that moment, she was the only one because he had never gasped like this before.
Lillian, in her daze, wondered, 'If this jerk Jackson is pretending to be indifferent only to charm me again.'
"Lillian, focus when you're kissing!" Jackson's husky voice was close to her red lips as he said.
Her tongue was heavily sucked, causing tears to well up in Lillian's eyes.
Before she could protest, he sealed her lips again.
