Chapter 538
Lillian's most embarrassing and deeply buried emotions were forcibly torn open by him, exposing raw wounds.
She glared at him angrily. "Jackson, you're too wishful thinking!"
"Even though you keep refusing my kisses, you don't actually hate them. I can see." Jackson cruelly and sarcastically exposed her thoughts.
Even if his words would cause her pain and suffocation, he wanted to awaken her love for him.
His attitude had never changed from the beginning.
It was laughable that she thought his agreement to the divorce meant he had come to terms with it, truly set her free, and would no longer entangle her.
Lillian's face turned pale in an instant, and she looked at Jackson almost in despair.
Her lips trembled, unable to speak.
Jackson gently caressed her cold little face. "You want a divorce, Taylor's custody, and freedom—I've agreed to all of it.
"But you also need to give me some response, let me know that what I'm doing is right, and not counterproductive, making you drift further away from me!"
His appropriate letting go was to regain her, not to let her truly forget him and run off with another man.
Lillian looked at his domineering and obsessive eyes, her eyes gradually reddening.
Jackson caressed her reddened eyes and softly said, "Lilian, now that we're divorced, let's bury all the past unhappiness and start over. I'll pursue you this time, starting from the beginning. What do you say?"
Pursue and dating... Such words were too beautiful.
Especially when coming from a man like Jackson, she had been infatuated with him for years.
It was like the sweetest fruit, hard to resist.
Lillian was speechless, wanting to reject him with cold words, but they seemed stuck on the tip of her tongue, unable to come out.
She remembered Jackson saving her and Taylor at their most dangerous and desperate moments, like a guardian angel descending from the sky to protect them.
She thought of his shock and joy like a child when he felt Taylor's fetal movements.
Her heart was not untouched, but she was someone who couldn't tolerate even a grain of sand in her eyes.
The warmth he exuded couldn't prevent her from falling into self-destruction again.
After a while, she still shook her head at Jackson.
"Three people's feelings are really too crowded, you can't ignore Star, can you?" Lillian asked.
Jackson fell silent for a moment.
Lillian, unfazed by the revelation, knew he would react this way. She gave a self-mocking smile and said,
"That day when Shirley fell down the stairs in front of me, I experienced the taste of regret and self-blame." She shook her head slightly. "Just like I can never ignore Shirley's matters, you can't ignore Star's. I don't want to live in a relationship that is always accompanied by entanglement, defensiveness, and suspicion."
Susan was dead, but Star still wouldn't let Jackson go.
Jackson also had to take care of Star for life. No woman could accept her man taking care of another woman forever, especially when that woman was deeply in love with him and determined to have him.
"Jackson, I'm begging you, let me go, stop bothering me, okay?" Lillian pleaded, her voice soft.
Jackson stared at Lillian's dim little face, but what flashed before his eyes was her glowing and relaxed appearance when she was with Shirley and the others.
Something seemed to be forcibly stuffed in his throat, causing a bitter pain.
He stared at her tear-filled eyes and asked, "If it's just because of Star, what if I send her abroad?"
Lillian was stunned, her heart contracted sharply, then started beating uncontrollably.
But she no longer dared to let herself hope easily. She steadied her breathing and looked at Jackson.
