Chapter 110 - Lovers Island (4) (1/2)

There was also helplessness in his little girl's eyes. It tugged Jackson's heart. He then lifted her again and brought her out in the veranda. The ocean's cold breeze would awaken and cool them both down.

Although Jackson would be happy to claim her now, he didn't want to be that same monster to her before. In truth, he too was a victim in those times. But he would never confess this to her. The main reason why he chose to remove her memories was so that she would be able to forget her traumas.

He knows how badly they had ruined her life. Unbeknownst to him, only April knew the real cause of her illness. Like Jackson, she would never admit this hard truth of wanting Jackson in her life.

The reason why she had fallen in love with Alex was because he was a normal man. Unlike Jackson, he was a real person who would act humble and kind. While Jackson was sort of a controlling man in April's life.

Jackson had a reason for this, a dark reason. So in short, the two had their own deep secrets. In this world and in this time, who hadn't had any secrets to hide?

Jackson sat down on a rocking chair and placed her in his lap as if he was cradling a child. His build was tall and lean, while she was small and weak. He was tanner than her. Although she was slightly tanned now, she was still paler than him.

Jessica leaned on his shoulders. She loves this sort of moments with him. Under the dazzling stars, the waves of the ocean and the small noises of nature made it all heavenly.

Jackson played with her hair and quietly listened to her breathing. This was a sort of escape from the both of them. He could only wish that they could stay on this Island for as long as they could.

He almost thought that she had fallen asleep when she broke the silence. ”Jackson? Why do you always call me little girl?”

Jackson was startled at her question and then later a small smile crawled into his face. ”Cause you will always be my little girl.”

”But I'm not a little girl anymore? I'm your wife and thus your woman.” Jessica pouted as she locks her gaze to his.

Jackson chuckled and kissed the place in between her wrinkled brows. ”Because when I first met you, you were only a little girl back then. Also, I'm 15 years older than you.”

Jessica knew that Jackson was older than her but she didn't know that the gap was that big. You can't blame it to her though, Jackson didn't look like his age at all! At most, he looked like in his late 20's instead of his mid 30's.

Seeing her shocked face, Jackson's smiled went wider showing his perfect white teeth. He didn't mind telling this sort of truth to her, it didn't matter anyway.

Jackson pulled her closer, he leaned his head on her shoulder this time while perfectly hugging her. It was as if this small woman perfectly fits on his arms well.

”In my eyes, even if you grew some white hair and wrinkles. You will always be my little girl.” Jackson murmured softly and he closed his eyes. He could only feel calm with she's around. This was a fact that he had noticed recently.

Jessica felt warmth inside her chest. She leaned her head unto Jackson's and places her hands into his. Then an idea hit her and she giggled.

Jackson opened his eyes and looked at the giggling girl in his arms. ”What is my little girl giggling about? Care to share?” He smiled when he said this. As long as she was happy, he was happy and content.
