Chapter 145
“My intuition tells me that we are of the same kind,” said Jack.
“Only complementary people are right for each other.” Violet was very rational. “To be honest, you are so excellent that countless women are attracted to you. They all like you and don’t mind whether it is true love or not. The external things you have blind them to your true character.”
“So you’ll marry someone for love, right?” Jack smiled slightly.
“I’m rich, so I don’t need to marry anyone for money,” said Violet.
“She has a personality,” Jack thought. He nodded and appreciated Violet more. In addition, Violet was a famous designer, so Jack was very satisfied with her.
Jack had been following Alyssa’s works for at least ten years and watching her grow little by little, though he never met her personally…
In Jack’s opinion, it was not at the wedding that he got to know Violet.
Jack had met a bunch of meek ladies of high social class, but he had never seen anyone special. Violet was the first one and was trustworthy.
“Frankly, I admire you very much and have a special feeling for you.” Jack decided to confess his true feelings before Michael, so Violet could be well aware of his love for her.
Violet smiled and asked, “It’s because no one would reject you at the wedding, except me?”
“That’s just one reason,” Jack said. “In fact, I was very angry at that time but had no choice. After all, it wasn’t my intention to hold the wedding. You know, the person I care about most is my Grandpa.”
“Because I know how to apply venomous insects, but other women don’t?” asked Violet.
“That sounds interesting Jack smiled slightly and said truthfully, “I really mean it. At least you are not a punchbag. You’re able to protect yourself from danger.”
“I not only have to protect myself but also my Mom,” Violet said. “She has brought me up. I’ll look after her till death. Not everyone’s good in the world. If one is unlucky, he’ll meet bad guys.”
Jack was envious of Violet to some extent, whose mother loved her so much.
But what about Jack?
Jack hadn’t even seen what his mother looked like. He didn’t even have a photo of her.
“Also, I can communicate with animals, and you feel so surprised, right?” Violet asked softly.
“Yeah, I’ve never seen anyone talk to a cobra.” Jack was shocked by that incident.
Violet smiled and posed another question, “And it’s also because I’m Alyssa now, right?”
“To be honest, I’m not so surprised by that, Jack said calmly. “Actually, when I talked about design with you in the exhibition hall that day, I had a vague feeling that you knew some about it, but you pretended you didn’t. I was talking all the time, and you actually agreed with me. Maybe what I said made sense to you.”
“Based on these, you appreciate me very much, right?” Violet just wanted to make sure.
Violet was setting a trap for Jack!
Jack was smart and replied, “It’s far more than appreciation. I’ve never felt that way before about you. And my body doesn’t reject you.”
That kind of thing happened twice…
Violet frowned and closed her eyes.
She wanted to die right now! Jack mentioned that again!
“I have mysophobia. Jack continued, “I’m not interested in women. Because of my eyes, I never go out at night, so I barely go to bars or nightclubs. I stay at home except for going to work and rarely attend dinner parties. Sometimes I have to be there only for a few moments, but I never keep in contact with those ladies or talk to them. I have no female friends, except for Charlotte, my closest friend since childhood.
“But I know very well that I feel something different about you. You know the secret of my eyes and many things about me. I don’t need to hide anything from you. I feel at ease with you around.
“You may not feel the same way, but I truly feel immensely relaxed.”
11:40
“So we can be friends.” Violet tried to forget the two intimate contacts. She was rational.
“Why can’t we be lovers?” Jack asked Violet, “Actually I think I like you.”
“You’ve just never felt so relaxed in front of a person, so you mistake it for love.” Violet tried to analyze Jack’s feelings. “When you are not completely sure what this feeling is, please don’t say you like me. That sounds too casual.” Content (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.
Jack finally realized that Violet had a deep distrust of all people because she had been hurt as a child.
Violet put up walls as Jack did.
Violet was calm beyond her years.
Jack fell into silence… He knew that he couldn’t make Violet fall in love with him. It would take a long time for him to get into Violet’s heart.
Perhaps it was because of her parents that Violet didn’t believe in marriage and wouldn’t fall in love easily.
And Jack thought the same way Violet did. A couple should love each other enough to get married and remain loyal.
Through tonight’s test, Jack probably realized that there would be a long way to go. But as long as there was a happy ending, he wouldn’t be afraid of the difficult process.
Jack liked Violet. This feeling could not be hidden, and instead, it came from the depths of his heart.
“Good night.” After a while, Jack said to Violet, “It’s getting late. Let’s sleep.
“Okay.”
Jack and Violet were lying under the same quilt without any physical act of love. Listening to each other’s heartbeat and breath, they drifted into sleep.
The moon set and the sun rose…
Jack woke up as usual. He didn’t need to set an alarm clock at all. Today was a working day, though he wasn’t going to the company.
He didn’t move and looked at Violet with a tilt of his head. In the bright light, Violet’s delicate oval face was glowing. Violet was in her early twenties. She had a youthful and delicate face, but she was maturing and turning feminine. Violet was very beautiful, and there was always a trace of stubbornness in her indifferent eyes.
Jack felt sorry for Violet and appreciated her very much.
Jack was amazed at how strong Violet was at her young age. “What else is surprising about her?” Jack wondered.
He didn’t want to disturb Violet because they chatted too late last night. Jack leaned sideways and stared at Violet with satisfaction. Violet’s face was very tender and her skin was delicate.
Jack looked at Violet without blinking as if he couldn’t get enough of her.
It was only six o’clock in the morning. Birds twittered and flowers bloomed in the Yancey manor located in a lush forest.
Lily got up early this morning. As she walked out of the bedroom door, she accidentally saw a familiar figure disappear in the corner of the stairs. Lily felt strange and wondered, “Why does Mrs. Yancey go to the third floor at this hour?”
Something flashed in Lily’s eyes, and she followed Samantha with suspicion.
After going upstairs, Lily saw Samantha enter the room. The former’s heart ski pped a beat and she stepped towards that
room.
A minute later, Samantha walked out of the room and was startled by Lily standing silently outside the door!
Samantha almost screamed out!
“You…” Samantha tried to calm down and glared at Lily. “What’s your problem? You scared me!” Samantha said in a subdued voice, not daring to disturb people downstairs.
Lily’s cold eyes fell on Samantha’s right hand behind her back. Lily had a clear sight of what was in Samantha’s hand.
Samantha came back to her senses, closed the door, and walked past Lily.
Lily yanked at Samantha’s arm and asked, “What are you doing with this medicine?” Lily questioned in a low voice and then turned around to stop Samantha.
Lily’s eyes were firm as if she wouldn’t let Samantha go without an explanation today!
