Chapter 556 Sudden Meeting (2/2)
Jackson stepped to one side, having noticed her uncomfortably inching closer. ”Even without all that many patrons, you know
”You're my wife in name only, on paper only. My heart and love will never be yours.”
Edward made it clear to Daisy that she was nothing to him. They were both victims of family greed -- the marriage was arranged for them.
Six years passed. She remained quiet, gaining a reputation in the army as a tough-as-nails colonel. When she walked into his life again, Edward fell in love with this woman...
your wife is pregnant. You must be busy taking care of her, isn't that right?” Bobby asked.
Staring into the man's eyes across from him, Jackson realised something. 'He is better informed than what I thought. If Bobby knows this, Eric and Jonson must have known too. Perhaps even more.'
”Yeah. She is my woman, so I must care for her,” Jackson replied resolutely. He thought his resolve and dedication to his wife could convince Bobby that his chaotic behaviour and schedule lately was justified. After all, he was watching over a pregnant woman.
”Of course, I can fully understand your situation. But I wish you would pay a little more attention to them,” Bobby subtly suggested. Bobby wanted to watch out for Jackson here. 'Having followed Jackson for several years now, I know he cares deeply for his wife and he is willing to do anything for her. And there is obviously nothing wrong with wanting to take care of his family. But Jackson should've try to think in their shoes too. Until Andrew's death, Jackson had seldom, if ever, met with them. They are overtly dissatisfied with him. They must want to get to know their master, or let Jackson get to know themselves. If they have no chance to acquaint themselves with Jackson, they may want to desert him, ' Bobby pondered.
Jackson understood Bobby's concern behind his advice. 'He advises me for my sake, not theirs, ' he realised.
”Did anything happen to them?” Jackson asked.
”I don't know. Perhaps something to do with the token? I can't think of anything else that might trouble them of late,” Bobby replied.
Jackson remained silent, lost in thought. 'I knew this day would come soon enough. I'd have to face it one day. Recently, I've gotten so much good news. But now Eric and Jonson demand to see me suddenly, and I can't imagine it'll be good with them.'
Noticing that Jackson remained silent, Bobby decided to continue,”Jackson, please make a decision now. I came here for this reason. Eric and Jonson have invited you to tea. It's your call when and where to meet.”
”I will meet them at 3:00 pm at April Teahouse tomorrow. I will book the table,” Jackson conceded slowly.
