Chapter 69: Changes of the Spotlight
To Love You Again, My Husband
Chapter 69: Changes of the Spotlight Matthew blinked his eyes in bewilderment and scoffed at the sight of Jackson cutting the onion leaves. Not that he didn’t want a helping hand, but it was just shocking. The Jackson Georginia is cooking, no, cutting at the moment, for a woman. He was about to cook because of an order of a woman.
Amusing it seems, entertaining to watch.
“Do you like Airina?”
Since they were in the kitchen, no one was able to hear the man-to-man conversation. Jackson glimpsed at him and nodded. Though he was confused why Matthew appeared interested to his affair with Airina.
“Yes, is it not evident enough?”
Matthew snickered, “But it had been only a year after your divorce with her, right? How come, when divorced was processed, did you catch feelings for Airina?”
Jackson paused washing the knife, “… A person’s emotion is hard to decipher.”
“You mean since you had another option back then? What become of Nicole then?”
Jackson glared at him, “What do you know? Why are you so into my affairs with Airina?”
Matthew leaned his torso to the kitchen, studying Jackson’s stern expression. From the looks of it, he was angry and jealousy that Matthew had the chances to be with Airina more. That she spends more with him because they were in the same company.
Matthew resignedly sighed at the signs that Jackson could be a threat when he’s a jealous man.All content © N/.ôvel/Dr/ama.Org.
He folded his arms and questioned, “Nothing in particular, really. I am just interested why she’s the topic for the most days we’re together,” he noticed the dancing eyes Jackson had and smirked, “Oh, and calm down. I meant that as a mocking. She says you’re such a toddler who doesn’t know this and that.”
Jackson’s expression turned bitter. “You’re lying to me, Matthew. Don’t forget that I can contact Elisa easily.”
Matthew smiled, “What does that got to do with this?”
“Exactly,” Jackson smirked, “Why do you want to butt into my business?”
Matthew shrugged his shoulders, “… Let’s just say your relationship with her wouldn’t be smooth sailing.”
Jackson sighed. If he has to be frank, Matthew isn’t really a threat to his relationship with Airina. Yes, he is handsome, but he was more than he could offer. Furthermore, and more importantly, Matthew seemed to have his heart for someone else Elisa.
“What happened to you and Elisa, though? I arranged your meeting with her, but I am yet to know if it was worth it?”
Matthew hummed, “I want to keep it personal because there’s not much to tell, anyway.”
Jackson asked curiously, “Are you not chasing after her?”
Matthew gestures rather randomly, “How can I when I have the weight of the company? Truly, Jackson, you’re not here to mock at me now that you’re almost, I mean far, from being successful to your love life?”
Jackson laughed at him. Then, he began sauteing the garlic and onions, creating the aroma that the people in the living room were waiting for. Of course, Matthew was responsible for the plating course since he was more adept with it.
However, the interrogation wasn’t yet done.
Jackson crossed his arms.
“Does Elisa not feel the same to you?”
Matthew stared at him helplessly and sighed. It was clear that Jackson wasn’t interested in it because he liked Elisa, but Matthew felt strange about it. He had guessed that Jackson wanted to know about this to tease him.
“Isn’t it obvious enough, Jackson?,” he unfairly groaned, “You know stop putting salt on the injury otherwise I’ll really throw this knife at you.”
“Oh, calm down, there. You might end up in the jail if you do that,” he pointed at the sharp knife, “Nonetheless, why don’t you contact her through messages, WeChat, Telegram, or even to her Email?”
Matthew groaned, “That would appear as if I were too desperate! Are you thinking straight?”
“But you are!,” Jackson patted his shoulder, “Desperate moments needs desperate measures, Matthew. You know that as a CEO; too well.”
Matthew licked his lower lip in frustration. This was supposed to be about Jackson but how come this man wasn’t even sensing that he wasn’t comfortable with the current talk they have now?
“I know what you’re getting at but people have different responsibilities, way of dealing with problems.”
Jackson smiled, “I could help you if you want.”
“There’s no need. My chance is as low as the Antarctic and Pacific mixes their water.”
