The Ceo’s Ex-Wife Can’t Escape

Chapter 53: Take Responsibility Airina’s frown got bigger in an instant after his words fell. On the other hand, Jackson, too, lowered his hand from her face. He knew that she hated him, but he assumed that she was just joking with him. It was only after Nicole said that whatever he did wouldn’t make Airina forgive him did he finally recovered from the fantasy he was living in.

But despite that, he just couldn’t stop pursuing her – gifting her every day. Even more so, after the incident of someone trying to kill or stab her that night, he always came every night and guarded the gate outside her house. He did that throughout the three weeks but denied seeing her face-to-face. Of course, it was exhausting but if it could keep her from being harmed, then it’s all worth it.

He had fixed the CCTV and had also asked the police to add two more of them near the garage and in the garage as he had stated that someone tried to stab his woman, so they were trying their best to have the higher-ups approve of his request, to which he needs to wait for at least a month.

Jackson lost his sleep, he couldn’t eat properly, and even became a forgiving person that his assistant was surprised about.

Jackson continued stating, unwilling to divulge but he did, nevertheless.

“I know I don’t deserve you, considering what I had done before, I know you wouldn’t. But I lived in my own fantasy, believing that your words were merely lies, so I kept on chasing you again and again,” he released a deep breath,

“I didn’t know my appearance kept on hurting you. That I kept on putting salt on your heart’s injury. I was so sorry I couldn’t think of anyway but to send you gifts, and to lessen your loneliness and to have someone entertain you, I sent Gly to you.

Gly is a sweet cat and I made sure that if she bites you, she doesn’t have any rabies so you’re fine. However, if she did bite you, I will take responsibility for the cat and your wound.”

Airina looked at Gly who clung onto her feet and rubbed her head over it. She couldn’t restrain a smile, adoring Gly.

“That cat, Gly…”This content © Nôv/elDr(a)m/a.Org.

“Do you hate it?” He asked without letting her finish her words.

“Take responsibility for her.”

“… Huh?” he was confused, tilting his head. “D-do you want me to take it back or she bit you? Let me see.” He then grabbed her hand, scanning closely where Gly bit her. She pulled her hand away from him.

“I said take responsibility for her, not that she bit me.”

Jackson watched as she fell sitting on her sofa, while Gly followed her and jumped over her lap. Gly was loudly purring, the very statement that she liked Airina.

“I don’t want to take care of her so come back every day to feed her.”

Jackson couldn’t seem to understand her motive, “I can just take her back so she won’t bother you.”

Airina glared at him, warning, “I liked her warmth, and she accompanies me each night. I want you to feed her not to take her away.”

Jackson closed his mouth, understanding her words and when he did, he covered his hand in fascination and relief. It only means that Airina liked his gift! That was why she wanted him to come back every day! He nodded his head vigorously, kneeling in front of Airina and petting Gly who purred in return.

“I will do that. I will take responsibility for Gly.” He smiled. “About not informing you of going inside, it was Mrs. Staun’s idea. My intention was to only leave the presents in front of your door, but she always caught me in the act and let me inside despite my effort to stop her.”

“Does she even know you are?”

“I introduced myself, but she always calls me ‘Young Man’, sometimes ‘Handsome Man’.”

Airina mumbled, “Perfectly fits you.”

“Hmm? Did you say something?” He asked, feeling that he heard her mumbling something, but it was so low he couldn’t understand it.

Of course, she didn’t dare say it again thus clearing her throat and giving Gly on his hand in shyness.

“I-I’ve gotta drink water.”

He simply smiled, hugging Gly affectionately. In that image unfolding before her eyes, Airina seemed to imagine how it would feel like if she had a family with him. There was a sweet, adoring, and sweet smile on her face that Jackson didn’t get to witness as he was occupied in petting and coaxing Gly to sleep.

In the end, Airina couldn’t even afford to yell at him or get mad, he… he was just so… so… like the man she loved. But who knows why she requested making him come each day. Was it merely for Gly?
