Chapter 61: Whatever!
To Love You Again, My Husband
Chapter 61: Whatever! Jackson fed her gently before handing a glass of apple juice he made specifically for her as she said that she was craving for it. Airina accepted the water.
“Thank you, I’m full.”
She glanced at the given bouquet settled on the sofa with a light demeanor on her face. Gly, the cat, rubbed her head onto her feet. Airina was aware that Gly was asking for food, so she was about to kneel down when Jackson grabbed Gly and walked away.
“W-what are you doing?”
Jackson looked back to her, “I figured out that Gly might be the reason why you’re allergic to flowers. Or if not, you might have allergy to cats. Why don’t we go to a doctor to know?”
Airina laughed, “No, no need. Why are you being so naggy?”
He chuckled, caressing Gly’s head. “Forgive me. I just can’t afford seeing you with those red spots on your face and skin.”
He then pulled out something from his pocket. He opened the treat specially for Gly using his bare hands, proceeding to feed Gly pleasantly. In this scene, it almost felt like Jackson was feeding their child, considering how he dances like he was soothing a baby to sleep.
“Do you like cats?” She curiously asked, scanning his body posture.
He giggled, “I used to dislike them because of their fur. But after having one, they’re very therapeutical and adorable so I quickly became a fur-father.”
Airina laughed, approaching them and petting Gly while nestled in his arms and munching the treat thoroughly.
“So you do own another one? What’s his name?”
Jackson grinned, “Glen, I named him Glen. Is it a good name?”
Airina nodded, “You know how to name,” she giggled at Gly who purred when she had eaten all the treat, “This Gly is so sweet.”
Jackson beamed seeing that she was slowly being close to him. He didn’t know that taking his time to get to know her, to woo her would make him this happy. Limited physical touch was also intimate. He thought that you could only express your affection through touch but when he was faced with the challenge of pursuing Airina, he had to think of alternatives – thanks to social media, he discovered a lot of things.
He cleared his throat, “… I will leave treats for Gly as I have to go abroad for business.”
Airina’s hands, who were stroking Gly halted. Gly was also on the verge of falling asleep so the lack of caress from her caused her to open her eyes but chose to nestle deeper into Jackson’s arms.
“You… you’re going overseas?”
“Yes. I will be gone for a week.”
Airina furrowed her brows, feeling that she had just been betrayed. Wasn’t he pursuing her? So why would he not accompany her? Furthermore, when he will be gone for a week.
“If you don’t mind feeding Gly for a week, I could give you the food I bought for her. But if it was the other way around, I could-”
Suddenly upset, Airina grabbed Gly away from his arms and huffed. She sat on the sofa, frowning at the bouquet.Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.
“No need, I could buy her food my own.”
Jackson moistened his lower lip, walking towards her.
“Are you upset?” Softly, he asked her.
Airina gulped her saliva, “W-why would I get upset at you?”
He touched her brows, bringing red paints over her cheeks, “You’re frowning at me again, that is why.”
Airina pulled away from his gentle clutch even averted her attention from him.
“You may leave now. I can handle the rest here.”
Jackson smiled, “Let me wash the plates first.”
“No, no need. Go now.”
Jackson shook his head, “You’re tired throughout the whole day. Let me do it-”
“Just go. I can wash the plates; I am not some spoiled-rotten lady.”
Her voice was demanding and cold, so Jackson gave up. Albeit that he was still unsure, he buttoned his cuff links. Perhaps, it would be better if he leaves her alone and let her calm down. Rather than being here with her and let her anger explode. If he leaves, she wouldn’t get mad.
“Then… I will leave if that’s what you want,” he awkwardly clicked his tongue, “Good… good night.”
Upon closing the door with a soft thud, Airina strongly held the bouquet and wanted to throw it on the ground. But… but she just couldn’t. Hence, she huffed and groaned loudly.
“Whatever, it’s not like I am not used to being alone.”
