Hey!
Ari nodded, resignedly said, "Got it."
"Thank you for your hard work." Louis gave a slight nod, then proceeded to the ward to visit Odin.
——
At this time, in the Jackson Family.
Mia hung up the phone, feeling even more awkward.
Old Master Jackson didn’t ask much, and after speaking with her for a while, he smiled and said, "Grandpa’s ears aren’t very good."
"Hmm?" Mia raised her eyebrows in confusion.
When she realized, she felt a bit embarrassed and bit her lip, saying, "Grandpa!"
"Haha." Old Master Jackson laughed heartily, raised his hand to tousle her hair and comforted her, "Grandpa has interacted with you and knows you’re a good kid, won’t doubt you. Being liked is a good thing, it shows that Koa has good taste, and so does this old man, there’s nothing to feel guilty about."
"If Brother Jackson could think like you, that would be great." Mia relaxed for a moment and spoke inadvertently.
"Koa is not someone to harbor grudges," Old Master Jackson chuckled, looked at her, and said warmly, "With so many kids in the family, only he never fights for anything for himself, nor does he demand anything from others. It’s rare for him to have expectations of you; it must be because he values you too much, don’t you think? Although he may seem cold and not talkative, he’s soft-hearted; you’re a girl, just act a little coquettish."
Mia blushed for a moment, bit her lip and said nothing.
"You can tell Grandpa about any grievances, and I’ll stand up for you, sort him out tomorrow."
"Brother Jackson hasn’t bullied me." Mia quickly said, lifting her eyes to see the old man teasing her, her voice slightly lowered as she defended, "Brother Jackson is very good to me."
"Then I’m relieved." The old man handed the nearby phone to Butler Jackson, "It’s getting late, quickly get some rest."
"Hmm." Mia nodded.
The old man then noticed the cane beside her and quickly reminded, "Sit and wait for a while, give Koa a call, and let him come down to help you upstairs."
"I know, good night, Grandpa." Mia curved her lips into a smile.
After watching the old man walk away, she pulled out her phone, thought for a moment, then put it back, looking down at her own foot.
It feels like the swelling has gone down, it’s not that serious anymore.
Earlier, she was bickering with Koa Jackson, but she wasn’t sure if he had calmed down or was still upset.
Mia sighed, leaned on the cane, and made her way back herself.
Whenever she and Koa returned, they stayed in this standalone little villa. During the day, occasionally someone would come in to clean, but at night, it was incredibly quiet; even the cane sinking into the carpet made no sound.
Mia walked very slowly, and upon reaching the entrance of the bedroom, she heard a woman’s voice.
The sound was coming from the large study.
She listened closely and felt it sounded like Lilian Jackson’s voice, so she stepped over.
——
At this moment, inside the study.
Lilian placed several books on the desk, laughed and said, "Finally found them, thank you."
"No need." Koa glanced at his wristwatch and said in a mild tone, "It’s getting late, let me escort you downstairs." ƒrēewebnoѵёl.cσm
Mia was still downstairs, and by now, whatever needed saying should have been said, so naturally, he had to go greet her. Koa thought as he moved towards the study door.
"Koa." Lilian suddenly called out to him.
Koa frowned, "Anything else?"
Earlier she came up saying she was looking for a few books, searched in the study herself for a long time but couldn’t find them, and asked him to help.
It was an easy task, of course, he didn’t have a reason to refuse.
But he was too lazy to say anything unnecessary.
Unexpectedly—
What we fear tends to happen, Lilian asked him, "Are you in conflict with Mia?"
"No." Koa didn’t want to say much to her, his peripheral vision caught the study door, but he suddenly froze.
A section of the cane shrank back.
That girl Mia, she went upstairs by herself after speaking?
Koa’s eyes briefly moved, standing there, temporarily not going out.
Lilian said softly, "Mia is still young, whatever it is, give her some space, as a couple, fight on the bedside and make up at the end of the bed, nothing is insurmountable."
"Indeed." Koa smiled faintly, "I overdid it a bit."
"You did." Lilian laughed, "Didn’t expect you to have that side."
Her words sounded ambiguous, Koa slightly frowned, looked at her, and said in a light tone, "I’m an adult, those things are normal."
The two talked about such a private topic for the first time, Lilian looked at him steadily and suddenly said, "Do you know why I went abroad?"
Koa raised an eyebrow, saying nothing.
Lilian didn’t bother picking up the book, pressed her lips and said, "My affair with Bill King was an accident."
"It’s in the past, let it go."
"I can’t get over it." Lilian looked at him helplessly, "You know the one I like has always been you. The man I’ve always wanted to be with has been you, not Bill King, not Sean Potter, I just recently met Sean, we’re not even dating, I just wanted to see your reaction, but you, you’re so heartless towards me."
"I’m married." Koa reminded her.
"I don’t care." Lilian stepped forward, clinging to his sleeve, pleading, "I truly don’t care. Let me stay with you, okay? I never thought of replacing Mia, I just want..."
Lilian bit her lip, looked at him steadily, and whispered, "Let me be your woman."
Koa looked at her deeply for a moment, then turned and walked towards the door.
Only feeling, unprecedented disgust.
But Lilian was hurt again by his attitude, unwilling to let go of his sleeve, took a step closer, and tried to lean against his back.
