Chapter 51 - 4 Days (1/2)

”I think you've misunder...” Before Halia could explain herself, Pierre signaled to his men and started walking out of the club.

Halia swallowed her words and quickly followed behind.

After they stepped outside, Halia led the men straight over to the willow tree where Jackson was waiting.

It was a warm spring night and there wasn't much of a breeze, so Jackson looked quite comfortable standing under the tree.

”I'm impressed Mr. Wu,” the French man praised as he clapped his hands and approached Jackson.

Jackson smirked and pointed to the vest that was still on his body, ”If you're impressed, then please remove this. It's getting a little hot,” he joked.

Pierre immediately laughed and stretched out his hand towards one of his men. The man quickly pulled out a bunch of keys and placed it in his hand.

Pierre then handed the keys to Halia, ”I'll let Sister-in-law unlock them for you.”

Halia held onto the keys and looked at Jackson awkwardly.

She then walked up to him and started unlocking his vest.

Jackson held back a smile and whispered beside Halia's ear, ”You don't seem surprised by the way he called you Sister-in-law. Why didn't you correct him? Are you...acknowledging that you're my woman?”

Halia blushed and avoided looking at Jackson's face. ”I didn't get the chance to correct him yet. I'll do it later,” she replied as she concentrated on the locks.

At that moment, Jackson suddenly leaned in towards Halia's lips and took a sniff. Halia's heart raced as she looked at the man in front of her. ”Did you drink?” he asked worriedly.

”Just a little, it was the only way to get him out here,” Halia explained.

Jackson straightened his body and looked down at the woman in front of him. She had done a lot for him today. If not for her, he would be dead already.

How could he keep trying to push her away when all he wanted to do was hold her in his arms?

Unfortunately, he still didn't know what her true identity was.

”I think the Boss will be impressed with your performance today, Mr. Wu,” Pierre suddenly said as he watched Halia unlock the last lock on Jackson's vest.
