Chapter 33


    "Kendall."


    Jackson had a smile on his handsome face as he approached Kendall and gave her the flowers.


    However, she didn''t ept the flowers but asked, "Why are you here?"


    "I''ve missed you, so I came to see you." He looked at her affectionately while still smiling.


    The scene before Kendall almost made her apud his acting. He clearly didn''t love her, yet he still


    pretended to be deeply in love with her and had sessfully fooled her in her previous life.


    After sneering, she asked, "How did you know I was at Parker Corporation? Are you really here for


    me?" Then, she avoided the flowers and remarked sarcastically, "Mr. Whittle, I think you should give


    the flowers to the actual person you intended to give them to."


    After that, she walked past him and was about to leave.


    "Kendall," he called out while reaching to grab her but was pped in the face.


    That p seemed to have shocked the secretary and stunned Jackson. At the same time, he covered


    the ce where Kendall had hit him and looked at her in shock. When she became distant and cold, he


    brushed it off as she was angry at him for not visiting after she had slit her wrist, and he thought he


    could get her back by coaxing her. Then, she would return to the woman who always ttered, fawned


    over him, and obeyed his everymand.


    "Kendall," he said. "Why did you p me?"


    Kendall warned with an icy cold expression, "Why wouldn''t I p you? If you ever try to touch me


    again, I won''t hold back anymore."


    After that, she stormed off to her father''s office, only to run into Kellying out from there.

    "Kendall." Kelly called softly, "About what happened yesterday… I''m sorry that I was being too


    impulsive. But, you wouldn''t take it to heart, right?"


    "What would you do if I said I did take it to heart?"


    Kendall''s reply stunned Kelly before she sneered and walked past her adoptive sister.


    As Kelly turned her head, she saw Kendall had entered Adam''s office and was talking coquettishly to


    their parents while they looked at her with affection. The scene was akin to a happy family of three.


    Jealousy instantly filled Kelly''s heart as she watched them.


    Before, she used to be her parents'' lovely daughter who had all their love, but now… They were a real


    family while she was just a mere adopted daughter! Her biological parents had no ability, so if she


    returned to them, not only weren''t they capable of helping her, they would bring her down as well.


    After withdrawing her covetous gaze, she pretended to be considerate and softly closed the door to the


    office. Just when she was about to leave, she saw Jackson.


    He still held the bouquet in one hand while the other covered the area where Kendall had pped him.


    The force of Kendall''s p was so strong that he felt that his cheek was swollen.


    "Jackson?" Kelly approached him and asked, "Why are you here?"


    She let out a quiet cry when he let down his hand to reveal his swollen cheek and asked, "What


    happened? Who pped you?" She quickly realized what had happened and probed before Jackson


    could reply, "Was it Kendall?"


    He smiled sheepishly as he replied, "Kelly, I''m fine. I was too abrupt with my actions, which was why


    Kendall hit me."


    He exchanged looks with her while he spoke, and although she understood the meaning behind his


    actions, she still felt bothered.


    She wasn''t even willing to hurt Jackson, but Kendall had the guts to p him!


    As she thought about it, she couldn''t help but wonder what had happened to Kendall. Kendall was


    clearly deeply infatuated with Jackson, which forced Kelly to hide her feelings and let Kendall have him.


    After Kelly had done so much to get on her adoptive parents'' good side, Kendallpletely changed


    after she went to the Colemans.


    "I have some ice in my office. Let''s go there and put some ice on your swollen cheek."


    Jackson nced at the secretary, but Kelly was furious and grabbed his hand to pull him away.


    Although he frequented Parker Corporation, it was primarily because of business matters. He had


    known her for a long time, so no one would suspect anything if she showed that she cared for him.


    Moreover, the entire Orapolis knew that Kendall was in love with him and that their two families were


    considering a joint marriage.


    Once they got to Kelly''s office, she immediately closed the door and pushed Jackson against the door.


    Then, she approached to cup his face and kiss him.


    At first, he wanted to push her away because he was afraid someone would see them and spoil their


    n. Finally, he couldn''t hold on any longer and wrapped one hand around her waist while still holding


    on to the flowers he was reluctant to throw away.


    After the kiss, she caressed his swollen cheek and asked, "What did you do to make her p you?"


    Jackson exined aggrievedly, "Actually, I didn''t do anything to her. She ignored me, so I wanted to


    grab her hand, but then she turned around and pped me. Her movement was so quick that I didn''t


    have the time to react and got pped right in the face." He continued to mumble, "Why didn''t I


    discover that she was so nimble and, not to mention, very strong? When her p ended on my cheek,


    it burned, and I could even feel it swell up."


    Resentment appeared in Kelly''s eyes as she snarled, "Your family and I aren''t even willing to touch a


    strand of your hair, but she dares to p you. Just wait until I get my hands on her. Afterward, I''ll help


    you get your justice and make her pay twice as much." Then, she caringly asked, "Does it hurt? Go and


    sit on the couch. I''ll get some ice to make a coldpress for your cheek."


    The vice president''s office was spacious and brightly lit with a lounge, a small meeting room, and a


    small pantry.


    Jackson quickly tugged her hand and handed her the flowers while questioning, "Kelly, these flowers


    are for you. I picked them out ording to the flowers you like, but… are you willing to ept them?"


    Kelly took the flowers, lowered her head, and took a delicate sniff. A beautiful smile appeared on her


    face as she borated, "I do like them, but… I can''t take them. I''ll help you give them to Kendallter,


    but I''m keeping a list of everything you''ve given her so that once our n has seeded, you''ll have to


    make it up ten times or a hundred times more to me."


    Jackson promised, "Don''t worry. I won''t ever make you feel wronged because my feelings for you will


    never change."


    After that, he hugged her as she rested her head on his chest, but what she didn''t know was that he


    was currently imagining that Kendall was the one in his arms.


    In the past, he hated Kendall when she was obedient to him, but when she started to ignore him, he


    suddenly realized that she wasn''t as hateful as he thought.


    Could this be her new way of attracting me? It must be, he thought self-confidently.


    "Alright. You take a seat while I get some ice."


    Kelly quickly suppressed the feelings in her mind while Jackson hummed in agreement but still hooked


    her jaw with his fingers and kissed her on her lips.


    As he did that, he couldn''t help but feel curious about what Kendall''s lips tasted like since he had never


    kissed her.


    Jackson secretly thought that when he had the chance, he had to have a taste of Kendall''s lips. Maybe


    she would return to the woman who fawned over him again by doing that because women loved bad


    boys.
