Chapter 913 - 940: One Bowl Each (With Bonus Short Skit 3)
Later, Koa Jackson couldn’t make it to Mia Ginger’s birthday party, and Caiden Ward sent pictures of the two dancing.
Then—
It was downright distressing; Koa Jackson couldn’t bring himself to imagine.
Yet he felt powerless.
He had been absent for seventeen years, seventeen years without any contact with her.
For the ten years before that, it was always another man taking care of and accompanying her.
Even—
He thought again of the bite mark on Louis Cox’s neck.
The mark would accompany him for a lifetime.
So wouldn’t the ten years of friendship also remain in Mia Ginger’s heart for a lifetime, etched into her bones?
When her feelings were naive, who was the person in her heart and eyes?
Koa Jackson felt he shouldn’t think about it, but he couldn’t help it; he thought messily, then remembered Mia Ginger mentioning something about a hundred dollars before; he had no recollection of any hundred dollars.
Especially frustrating was that the girl also forgot now.
Before she had the car accident, her feelings for him were deep, heavy, overflowing.
But now?
Koa Jackson just felt it wasn’t enough; this feeling of inadequacy made him a bit angry and out of control.
Was he actually jealous of Louis Cox?
It was simply ridiculous. Why should he be jealous of him?
Koa Jackson suddenly threw off the covers and turned around to go to the bathroom.
He wanted to take a shower and calm down, just to avoid saying something ungentlemanly later that would upset the girl and make him even more angry.
But—
With his attitude, Mia Ginger got even angrier.
What the heck.
Couldn’t he speak properly? He even gave her a cold shoulder.
He bit her earlier, too?!
She looked down at her shoulder, the place he bit was swollen, the tooth marks deep, bleeding. How could it not hurt?
Tears circled around her eyes several times, and Mia Ginger turned over, biting her lip to sleep.
Her body couldn’t help but shiver a couple of times, very angrily.
The sound of water rushing from the bathroom continued for a long time before it finally stopped. She listened and listened, and felt sleepy again, her whole body ached and felt weak, she drifted off to sleep, sleeping for a long time. When she woke up, the room was dim.
Koa Jackson was gone, no sound from the bathroom.
The heavy curtains were drawn, almost completely blocking out the light, extremely quiet.
Mia Ginger hugged the blanket and sat up.
The wound on her shoulder seemed to have been treated with some ointment, slowly reducing the swelling.
At least he had some conscience...
She mumbled biting her lip, carefully got out of bed.
Opened the curtains.
The sunset’s afterglow was reflected on the window, it was a spring afternoon, with a magnificent view of flowers in bloom in the garden downstairs.
She watched quietly for a while and felt melancholic again.
It seemed like this, waking up alone in the dusk made her feel uncomfortable.
A very lonely feeling.
She had visited the hospital in the morning; today she hadn’t walked much, and her ankle wasn’t as painful as before.
Mia Ginger cautiously hopped downstairs, using crutches.
—
In the hall.
Quite a few members of the Jackson Family were present.
"What time is it?" Old Master Jackson turned to ask Butler Jackson beside him.
"Six ten," Butler Jackson replied, bowing with a smile, "The kitchen is already prepared."
"Hmm," Old Master Jackson nodded, looking over to Koa Jackson, and gently asked, "Mia hasn’t woken up from her nap yet? Go up and check, see about dinner."
Koa Jackson responded, standing up immediately.
Just after taking two steps, he saw Mia Ginger walking slowly into the hall.
