《The CEO's Ex-Wife Can't Escape (Airina)》 Chapter 1: Affair And Divorce Chapter 1: Affair and Divorce To Love You Again, My Husband Chapter 1: Affair and Divorce Currently past eight in the evening. "Mhmm..." Airina frowned as her hand twitched. Was she hearing it right? It couldn''t be. She glimpsed the doorknob, unwilling to open it. Did she just hear a woman''s voice inside her husband''s office? "Ah, Nicole..." Nicole? Her younger stepsister with her husband, Jackson? No, Airina wouldn''t believe it. There was no way her loyal husband was dishonest with her. That was her standing until she finally opened the door of Jackson''s office at the continuous moans and grunts of a woman and a man. In an instant, her eyes widened in surprise, and she gaped. The steaks she was carrying on a te stumbled on the ground - everything she had prepared was ruined. "Hm...?" A woman reflexively turned to the noise of the door. It was Nicole. Her lipstick was smudged, and she looked like a mess. Jackson groaned in annoyance. "Seriously, Airina?" Airina staggered, helplessly staring at them. Rather than terrified at the sight of her, the people in the process of making out angrily sighed. "Care to be the witness?" Nicole smirked, pecking Jackson''s neck who groaned. Her husband, Jackson, was having an affair with her stepsister, Nicole. Jackson spoke demandingly, "Well, either way, there is no perfect time than now to announce that I''ve prepared our divorce agreement." He didn''t even wait for her to register what was happening. Airina was speechless. She couldn''t say anything as she didn''t know where to start. Should she begin by asking how long had he been having affairs with Nicole or if she did something wrong that made him decide their separation? How could Jackson think of divorcing her when she had never done anything wrong? "W-what are you two doing?" In between her words, she stuttered. She formed her palms into fists, dumbfounded. This infidelity was utterly shocking. "Can''t you see we''re making out?" Nicole simply giggled in delight, sitting leisurely on hisp. Jackson''s eyes glowed with irritation and then gently pushed Nicole away from hisp. "Sign this divorce." "When did your affair start?" a demanding question came out of Airina''s mouth. Jackson touched his forehead. "Get her out of my sight. Such a horrible face would make my night a mare." "Jackson!" Airina defended before Nicole could even touch her. "Get out while I''m being nice!" Airina warned Nicole, "Don''t touch me!," Then turned to Jackson, "I had always been a good wife for you. Whether cleaning orundry, I always tried to make a good impression on you." Airina pped Nicole''s hand on her who winced at the force. Jackson mocked her with a snicker, "You befitted a maid''s work, you see." Airina''s tears fell from her right eye, "Did... did you not feel any affection for me?" "Dang it, Airina Beverly. When will you realize you wouldn''t, in any way, be of the same league as mine?" he spit his saliva then rose from sitting. "Sign this before I even hit that crying face of yours." She initially believed that feelings grew over time but if this was how it turned out, she would never humiliate herself anymore. Howe she had been oblivious to her husband''s affair? Airina peered at Nicole who nonchntly folded her arms. Airina spoke with conviction, "I treated you like my real sister," she gulped her saliva. "You...pletely fooled me." Nicole frowned, "That''s normal," she seductively smiled at Jackson as she allowed her hand to travel anywhere on his body, "You had always been the stupid sister, after all." "Of course, this affair isn''t that surprising. You came from your mother - like mother, like daughter." "Airina!" Nicole''s weakness is telling that it was her mother''s fault for breaking up Airina''s parents. "And yes, I will sign this freaking divorce agreement you wanted, dumbass cheaters!" While the two speechlessly stared at her who suddenly became defensive, Airina hastily, almost clumsily signed the paper as Jackson wanted. She ced it on Jackson''s desk with a loud thud. Airina clenched her jaws, "Let me ask you a question, Jackson." "I only have a bit of patience-" "Did you never love me, even for a bit?" Jackson scornfullymented, "I don''t need to repeat myself, do I?" His eyes contained disdain. Was being a good wife always been a mistake? Airina remarked, "I hate that I''ve loved you for years...." She roughly wiped her tears as her heart pounded in grievance. Airina was overwhelmed. "I''m such a fool." Upon witnessing her husband''s affair with her stepsister, he promptly gave her a divorce agreement. This is just too much to handle. Jackson pointed at the opened door, "Now, get out and disappear." "Don''t tell me what to do! I will leave on my own." "Perfect." He disregarded the tears she had shed. "You''ve always been obedient, I know." "Disgusting..." Airina mumbled then turned away. Shooed away by the person she loved for five years, Airina was lost. After she stormed out of the office, Jackson closed the door while Nicole followed her behind. "Rina." A gentle call. Airina turned to her. "How bold of you." She gritted her teeth, furrowing her brows further. Nicole smirked, winking at her shameless. "You''re leaving just like that? You hadn''t even seen the best part yet." Airina flinched and roughly wiped her tears. "You''re repeating your mother''s history." Her words fell and Nicole''splexion turned sour. Nicole approached her with the motive of pping her hard. However, before she could even hit her, Airina blocked her with a tight grab on her arm. She menacingly threatened, "I don''t do violence, but if you want to see me choose violence, you''ll see the knife in the kitchen right inside your heart." "You dare!" Airina pushed her body away from her, "I dare. You didn''t think of the consequences it''ll bring to you. Have you no shame?" "Hah! Have YOU no shame?! You stole him from me!" Nicole, instead of being terrified, only dramaticallyughed at her, even leaning her head backward in disbelief. "I never stole anything or anyone from you, Nicole...", Airina wanted to prevent her tears but seeing and hearing these unexpected worden et from two people she cared and loved impacted her mental and emotional health. Two people she had loved without anything in return tantly showcased their affair. Airina was dumbfounded. "You did, you stole everything." She then aggressively pulled her hands from Airina resuming with emphasis, "You broke my family, I will break yours too." Nicole challenged with an amusing tilt of her head. Airina didn''t say anything, she merely used her gaze to intimidate her. It took her a meaningful time to steady her body and replied ambiguously. "I only wanted Jackson and yet you took him away from me." Nicole shamelessly folded her arms, "Let me remind you that you will never obtain what you wanted. Since you''ve broken my family... I will have you beg for mercy. This is the beginning." Airina tugged her lips upwards, "And let me remind you, a mere mistress, will never win against the wife." "Rina-"This text is property of N?/velD/rama.Org. "And I will make you pay for your affair." "How dare-" Airina menacingly smirked, "Remember that." Chapter 2: On The Balcony Chapter 2: On the Balcony To Love You Again, My Husband Chapter 2: On the Balcony After ten months. Evan squinted his eyes at Airina''s gown - it refined her slender and sexy body that could charm and make a man''s heart flutter. It was not like he wouldn''t want her to wear such a thing, but men are vicious. Of course, he will do anything to protect his sister. Evan then frowned, "Anyways, why have you been rejecting Nicole''s calls?" Airina scoffed at his words, flipping her hair in an annoyed manner. "You know too well what she''d say. It''s either about Jackson or money." They turned to the right side of the hall and arrived at where the Founding Anniversary was being held. As such the two greeted everyone, and in the middle of that, Evan and Airina knew the lustful gazes of the men lingering around her, but she heeded no mind. Evan whispered to her ears, "I think you''re in the spotlight today. Oh, and Matthew said you''d have a speechter, no?" Airina nodded, "I do. Say, should I back down?" Evan chuckled at her joke, nudging her arms, and responding. "Cousin won''t allow you, and so does Grandpa. They are not here yet." Airina looked around and then noticed a certain man. Unlike the men who were lusting over her, his gaze seemed to be pure affection for her. But what troubles her was the fact that his features were pretty much simr to Jackson''s. Maybe she was just mistaken. Jackson, who was invited by Matthew as tomemorate thepany''s standing, rarely participated in parties. But he had an intuition it would be best if he attended this time around. Whatever the reason was would be discovered once he stepped in. He slightly scanned his surroundings, noticing a long-white gown worn by a woman. It appeared to be seducing based on its fitted waistline and the concealed thighs down to its foot. She was definitely hot and sexy. As the celebration went on after a moment of waiting, Jackson''s eyes were still focused on the woman''s back. He watched every detail of her movement with amusement. The woman turned to handshake with a businessman - he was frozen, dumbfounded. He mumbled in astonishment, "Airina?" Then the MC sounded, "And by this Founding Anniversary, we''d also like to hear our new exclusive shareholder of the Halton Company, Miss Airina H. Beverly. Let''s p our hands to her first-ever appearance." The MC enthusiastically spoke with respect and admiration to the woman he called. Everyone, except Jackson, apuded their hands while Airina went to the stage with a wide grin on her face. She had changed. From her head, down to her toe. Airina was just too gorgeous right now even that word was belittling her. She began, "I''d like to thank CEO Halton for this opportunity, along with Mrs. Halton. Without these two prominent and dazzling figures, I wouldn''t have had a chance to prove my abilities and share my ideas. From here onwards, I''d work diligently as I have been doing for the recent months and I hope everyone could also give praise to our CEO Halton''s efforts. Thank you." Airina climbed down the stairs with Matthew''s hand supporting her. He smiled and exchanged words with her. Yet anger was the only thing Jackson knew. For the past ten months since their divorce, he had been experiencing vivid dreams about Airina. It was to the extent that he found himself wanting her, but she was not anywhere only to be seen her beaming at other men. How dare she?! The next second before he knew it, he had already stridden towards her direction feeling his heart pounded excitedly. The faint smell of the wines given to the other guests wafted through his nose, but he didn'' care but Airina. She was strikingly gorgeous causing him to want to grab, kiss, and even mark her as his. "Airina."Original content from N?velDrama.Org. And without prompting for her answer, Jackson hastily yet elegantly grabbed her hand and kissed the back of her hand. The only thing people knew at that exact moment was surprise. Airina frowned at his surprising movement, not that she wasn''t grossed out for a second. She hadn''t seen him ever since their divorce, yet their reunion was this. Hurriedly, she pulled her hand away from his mouth. "Truly... I was told you have a knack for being gentlemanly, but your manners arecking. My, what a sight." Airina mocked as soon as she regained her senses. The same man who heartlessly broke her heart, and the same man who kissed her hand. It was shocking. Jackson slyly smirked. "Yes, in fact, I am quite the easygoing type that I can''t wait to have this dance with you." The impending dance song resonated in their ears, but Airina grabbed Matthew''s arm, replying to Jackson. "Do seek another partner." Just like that, she went away while Jackson was taken aback. She pushes him away which means she was only trying hard to get. Thus, he decided not to dance with anyone despite that women were asking him to be their partner. As soon as the dance was finished, he appeared in front of Airina again. "It''s a surprise meeting you here." He had a devious grin. Airina lifted her chin, "I don''t think so." Jackson nced at the balcony, "I have something to tell you. Let''s talk on the balcony." However, Evan blocked his way with his menacing gaze. He coldly asked, "And what business do you have with my sister?" Airina smiled slightly at Evan who protected her as if he had beaten her up. She whispered to him, "Don''t worry." Then, she sneaked from behind Evan. "Lead the way, then." Jackson readily nodded. He even kindly helped her with her gown, holding the hem of it to make her walkfortably. After they arrived on the balcony, Airina chuckled at him. "It seemed you have a lot of free time in your hands, CEO." Jackson smirked, "Call me Jackson, Airina." She said, "Oh don''t think we have such a good history to call each other by names." Her eyes were full of hostility, but it only added to the fun Jackson was having. The more she pushed him, the more he wanted her. More importantly, her lips looked tempting and alluring, not to mention the gown she chose to wear. Jackson hid his hand in one of his pockets, and asked her with a solemn voice, "What kind of rtionship do you have with Matthew?" "I''m not obligated to answer that." "Are you one of his ythings?" Airina snickered, "Come on. You and Matthew are worlds apart. He''s not like you, unappreciative and disgusting." "Your words are too much, Airina." "I''m not even starting." She sighed, effortlessly flipping her hair. "Are you in a rtionship with Matthew?" "Perhaps." Jackson approached her. An evil smile across his face then smoothly grabbed her by the waist. He leaned forward, seductively whispering into her ears, "It doesn''t matter, since I will make you mine." Chapter 3: Provocation Chapter 3: Provocation To Love You Again, My HusbandContent ? N?velDrama.Org. Chapter 3: Provocation However, rather than feeling scared and dominated, Airina mockingly snickered which reached to his ears. Make her mine? Did he not even hear himself lying? "Did you not hear me?" A husky voice came out of him. Airina slightly bit her lower lip and then tapped his lower lip with her forefinger. She was proactively seducing him. "Did you not hear YOURSELF?" He frowned, "I do. I ampletely sane, in fact." Airina attempted pushing him away but to no avail, his force shouldn''t be belittled. They had never once been intimate or close to each other. Yet experiencing it right now didn''t make her feel wonders. However, Jackson was feeling differently. Her shoulders and corbones were bare, even a little of her cleavage graced his desire while her waist incited his self-restraint. Her hair was donned beautifully he wanted to mess it up with his own hands. Not to mention to have her innocent eyes shed tears as he makes her mine. Her legs were so slender he wanted to squeeze and bite them. "You''re deliberately provoking me, Airina." Airina held her breath under his hot gaze. She would be lying if she said she didn''t feel intimidated or embarrassed. "I don''t know about that. You''re just like another man after all." Briefly, after she finished her words, his index finger stroked her lower lip agonizingly slow it caused her to twitch. It was fine if he grabbed her hand or kissed it, but his hand that threatened her to think straightly provoked her greatly. In terms of seduction and flirting, Jackson definitely surpassed her, who had only done it for the first time right now. She gave his hand that was grabbing her waist a passing nce before sighing. Not only did she feel surprised, but she could also feel that his hands were bing hotter as each second passed. His strong grip prevented her from escaping so she looked down on his cor and smirked. She gulped her saliva and met his eyes, which were heated up with desire. It seemed that even without her doing anything, Jackson was turned on so much. With her free hand, she touched his chest under his suit and slowly made its way to his back as his grip heightened and he flinched at her touch. "Did Nicole touch you like this?" "... What?" a restrained breath was released. "Or like this?" Airina slowly caressed his rolling Adams Apple. "Airina. Are you testing my patience?" "I am questioning you." Jackson breathed out, frowning. "Do it for real and don''t be a coward." Airina''s eyes turned mocking. Before his lips could even touch hers, she blocked it with her palm and then forcefully pushed him away. "I am neither a coward nor a seductress. Rather, I am just Airina Beverly." He narrowed his eyes, "Is this your way of revenge?" His low and hoarse voice tickled her ears. "Not yet since I am not starting." "Are you still upset because of our divorce?" She didn''t whether tough at his sudden worried voice. "Why do you care?" If she had to be frank with him, it was thanks to his infidelity that she finally regained her true self and picked up what was best for her and Evan. Airina cutely giggled, "Is that how you see it?" She then innocently tilted her head, as if not understanding his words. "Absolutely." She shook her head in disagreement. "I can''t help it then." "Where are you going?" He witnessed as she grabbed her skirt. "You''re smart so get my hint and get out because, in any way, you are not in the same league as mine." "You...." Airina then walked past him while saying, "I am not into dishonest men, you see." Jackson held his breath while his eyes wavered. He was reminded of what he had told her the night of their divorce signing. He was incapable of chasing after Airina who had stopped him midway through her words. Evan was the first person to notice his sister was back, hastily asking what happened on the balcony which she merely gave a smile to assure Evan. Among all those who knew her situation, Evan was the one who supported and had always detested Jackson. Yet again, the tension which sparked when Airina and Jackson faced each other, dissipated with time. Airina scanned the area, smiling at the person who was strangely simr to Jackson - face-wise. "Miss Beverly. I''ve heard of your aplishments, and I have admired you from then onwards. Perhaps, do you recognize me?" Airina blinked her eyes, "My apologies, I have a bad memory." The man understandably nodded his head and didn''t mind her for not knowing him. He whispered, "I am Daniel Georgi?ia. We''ve met each other at your wedding ceremony. Since I only stayed for a few minutes, it''s natural you didn''t see me." "You... Are you Jackson''s sibling?" Airina gaped. Daniel shook his head and whispered, "We have different mothers." "Forgive me for not noticing that sooner." "No, no. That''s all right." Airina held a goblet in her hand, "Should we clink this goblet and forget that embarrassing situation had ever happened?" Daniel delightfullyughed, "I''d love that." Oblivious to these two, Jackson''s angry eyes were fixated on them. He couldn''t understand that among all men, she had to smile prettily at Daniel. That lousy, stupid man? The night deepened while some of §Ö the people bid their farewell. As for Airina and Evan, who were drunk, staggered. She touched her head, opening her phone. They decided to go home since they were tipsy and couldn''t manage well with socializing due to that. They arrived outside of the venue white unsteadily standing. As she clumsily opened her phone, a man''s hand wrapped smoothly around her waist and breathed against her ears. She hupped almost dropping her phone had it been not for the man who caught it before handing it over to her hand. "Where''s your car?" Airina knew that voice - It was Jackson. She didn''t want to get further entangled with him after that heartache, especially when she was yet to exact her revenge. "Mhm, i-it''s the cheating ex-husband... ha, ha." She almost hystericallyughed had it not been for her hupping. Jackson narrowed his eyes. Airina... seemed to be more drunk than he thought. Airina pushed him. "... Go away, (hup)." She was hupping while speaking and Jackson''s head throbbed. "My car is here, let''s go." "I-I''m fine. I don''t need your help." Due to her drunkenness, she didn''t have the adequate strength to push him from her. " Jackson lifted his brow, "You''ll stumble if I let you go. I''ll take you home. Evan,e here." Evan squinted his eyes, looking at where Jackson was pointing, and aimlessly climbed inside ineptly. Airina grumbled but couldn''t refute him since Evan had already gone inside his car. Besides, the effect of the champagne was quite strong. She pursed her lips which Jackson noticed, then he lifted his hand near her lips. His frown got deeper when their eyes met then he spoke, "Bite my finger if you want to bite something." Airina red at him, leaning forward. "Ah..." Jackson blinked his eyes, speechless. Her bite was so faint he could barely feel it. He smirked. "If I had known, I would have let you bite my lips." Chapter 4: Zipper, And Bite Chapter 4: Zipper, and Bite To Love You Again, My Husband Chapter 4: Zipper, and Bite Airina, who was just charmed by his undeniable beauty, was surprised. Upon their divorce, she made sure dwelling on emotions wouldn''t be an option, thus she called her biological mother for support which was so great that it brought her this sess. Although she couldn''t agree that Jackson''s face popped into her head asionally, she did everything to obtain this sess. The love she had for him was hard to unroot, what''s more, topletely move on from him? It was excruciatingly hard throughout those ten months. Alongside Evan, both of them had to support each other emotionally and mentally, especially Airina who had to undergo two jobs just to make sure they ate well on time. She never wanted him to do so much for her - of course, infidelity was out of the question, but it would be better if he stayed loyal to her. That way, Airina wouldn''t have had that heartbreak. Airian scoffed at him and pushed difficultly herself away from his grasp. "Don''t try to act nice, it''s making my stomach roll from disgust." Not prompting for his reply, she staggered to get inside the passenger''s seat with a groan - an irritated groan because she couldn''t decline his offer of taking them home. She was drunk, and her younger brother was in a much worse situation. Calling for an Uber might be a good idea; however, their safety was not guaranteed. She calcted that even if she loathed Jackson, he wouldn''t harm them, especially after having that conversation with him on the balcony. She had never assumed she''d muster the courage to openly provoke and confront him in such a seductive way. She tipsily opened her eyes to the blinding light from the stalls and the streetlights, covering it with her left hand. "Are you regretting you got in my car?" Airina cast Jackson a nce and scowled, "I wouldn''t say no for a free ride." She proudly folded her arms, not minding the dark and hot gaze from him. She was slowly being sobered. Jackson, on the other hand, was amused. She had never acted seductive previously, rather, she was meek and innocent. She waspletely different from who she was back then. Finally regaining from his thoughts, the grip he had on the steering wheel tightened and he clenched his jaws. "Don''t wear something revealing next time, Airina." "You have no right to control what I wear." He smirked, "I am only worried." She scoffed, "Funnying from you." "Airina, I..." "Mind the road." Jackson dumbfoundedly nodded his head. Her changes were hard to deal with. Jackson moistened his lower lip, "You haven''t told me your address yet. How am I supposed to take you home?" Airina slowly opened her eyes and red at him. "Stupid driver." Jackson was in disbelief that Airina just blurted such words. He released an irritated sigh and drove slower. Airina looked at him, "House Number 86, block 5, Sunlight Street, City A." "You purchased a new home?" His voice contained curiosity and a shocked tone. Airina heaved a breath, "Found it hard to believe?" She mocked, "It was easy for me to believe you had an affair with Nicole." She followed it with a mocking, slowugh. In her voice, there was no trace of warmth, only hostility and detest were keen on his ears. He frowned and responded, "Nicole and I... We''re nothing." She tilted her head, "It doesn''t concern me any more of whatever your rtions with others." Jackson arched his lips as he had no other way to express how easily he was defeated by Airina''s cruel words. It struck him that they had already divorced, thus these things were not in any of her concerns. He wanted to do something to prove that there was something between them, yet what could be the befitting action for that? "... I see." Airina didn''t bother with him anymore and breathed out. The entire ride felt quite suffocating and awkward but at least they managed to arrive safely. Jackson helped Evan to get out of his car, supporting him with his hand on his waist and Evan''s arm around his neck. Who would have thought that the CEO Georgi?ia would stoop this low just to take them home? Airina found herself wondering the same thing. She had Jackson put Evan in his bedroom who easily went back to his sleep. "Leave, then." Airina, who opened the door fully for him to leave, called Jackson with her cold voice. Jackson turned to her and frowned. "Are you not even going to give me water?" Airina scoffed, "This is not your home." Jackson nodded his head, "All right, I will drink my own, let me borrow-" She clicked her tongue, "Right, I should treat a driver equally. Hurry up." He yielded and took the time to look around. Airina bought a great house to live in, definitely different from what she had back then- shabby and things inside were either broken or about to get broken. Their slippers had holes, and even their nkets appeared to have gone through so much. Somehow, it tickled his heart. This is the property of N?-velDrama.Org. On the other hand, while Jackson was observing and praising the interior designs, Airina was having the wreck of her life. The zipper of her gown was entangled with her hair at the back. She couldn''t even untie it because it was out of her reach, and she was also losing consciousness from drinking that wine. She touched her head, remembering Jackson, and groaned. "I won''t ask for help even if I wait for tomorrow''s sunrise." She grumbled, taking a deep breath, and looking at her reflection in the mirror. She leaned closer, wiping the smudged lipstick off her mouth as her eyes flickered upon remembering something. Airina frowned recalling when her lips almost touched his. She then unwillingly removed such thoughts with a shake of her head. She looked away to turn around. But Jackson''s leisurely and calm demeanor while leaning on the doorframe greeted her. Her eyes slightly shook at his sight and stepped backward. "What are you doing here?" He tilted his head, "You''re ure you don''t need my help with your dress? It looked entangled with your hair." Airina flinched. She lifted her chin, "You''re mistaken. You''re done drinking, so leave." However, he walked towards her, grabbed her shoulders, and turned her around. He let out an exasperated sigh, "Asking for help is easy. Besides, can you really sleep in this suffocating gown?" She bit her lower lip, "Then, shut up and untie that." He snickered, "Sounds very threatening, Airina." She rolled her eyes, ring at Jackson using the mirror in front of her. Their breaths collided with every flutter of the wind, and his hands gently brushed against her back as it undid whatever the problem or her back was. His eyes focused on what he was doing, and his tall dominated hers. She lowered her gaze as the faint smell of the wine she drank drifted in this starry night. Jackson frowned, rotating the hair that got tied up with the zipper. And after a long time, he finally got her hair out of the way and wordlessly pulled the zipper down. It was an unconscious move but neither of them knew where it was going. Jackson, who noticed what he was doing, suddenly halted as his cheeks heated up. Airina flinched when she felt the zipper down, but she was also incapable of saying something - both of them were unmoving, as their heartbeat mixed with their breaths shed against each other ¨C distinctive of what their hearts truly felt. Airina hesitantly faced him, "T-that much is enough...." Not wanting her to finish her words, Jackson leaned down and before she knew it, a pain wafted from her back but something warm licking it soothed the pain, making her release a faint ''Ah'' that both of them found... enticing. Airina covered her mouth in shame as Jackson''s hands on her shoulders also momentarily stopped. Holding her breath, he pulled his head back and smiled at her. "It seemed you like biting for real, don''t you?" Chapter 5: Cheating To Chasing Chapter 5: Cheating to Chasing To Love You Again, My Husband Chapter 5: Cheating to Chasing Airina''s eyes faltered as her heart thumped. She couldn''t discern if it was because she was stunned by what he did or if she was happy about it. Regardless, she was in a daze for a while before she pushed him away and tried topose her quivering breaths. You really must have gone insane, Jackson." Without a doubt, Jackson sexily and in a slow, agonizing way, wiped his lips as if savoring the taste of her shoulders and nodded at her words. "I agree. Because you looked brilliant tonight." She snickered, "And you''re being shockingly disrespectful. I thank you for helping me, but biting my shoulder is something only a pervert will do." Jackson was in disbelief. He swallowed his saliva with difficulty and exhaled deeply. "I''d be a pervert for you. Enjoyed it?" Airina frowned at his unfamiliar words. If he was deciphering about the bite he just did, she couldn''t utter a definite answer - not that she liked it because he was the one who did it, but the familiar sensual tension between them urred again. They had never shared a kiss while married; she couldn''t say she wasn''t stunned. With a gulp, she firmly said, "We''re divorced. It''s only right for you to leave now Mister. Otherwise, I''d call the police." Her serious eyes made him breathe out. He looked at his thumb that he used to wipe his lips and told her, "I forgot to say. I drank alcohol, I can''t drive." Airina was shocked. "Then, why did you drive?" "I suddenly forgot about it." "Then call your assistant or anyone." She was starting to feel mad because of this man. She had encountered many ''coincidences'' tonight due to his unreadable actions for the future - sometimes it struck her heart with anticipation, but it was more of resentment. She clenched her fists. Jackson coyly smirked at her; his eyes shaped into a sweet crescent half-moon. His tone was teasing, "I forgot my phone with him." "Then do something-" "I can''t drive, so do you." She warned him, "Really stupid." Airina approached him, her bare shoulders heaved to her every movement, and her calcted breaths due to her tight and sexy gown made him gulp his saliva. "Was I the only one who enjoyed this fateful encounter?" "Yes." Jackson extended his hand, reaching out for her hair and caressing it gently, "You''ve be prettier, Airina." "I needn''t your praises. Now, leave." "I''ll sleep with you." She pped his hand, "Leave." He blinked his eyes, retracting his hand hesitantly, "Can I at least sleep in the guest room?" "Because?" "I am your beloved-" "You are my cheating ex-husband. Leave my room." Jackson sighed and nodded his head with his teasing smile. Furious, she mmed the door and took a deep breath. She mumbled, "How hateful..." Jackson, who sat on the cushion softly chuckled. It was a white lie to say that he drunk wine earlier. In fact, he never even did, it was juice he drank. Fortunately, he didn''t take a sip of wine, lest he had this chance to stay in this lovely house filled with lovely people. Airina woke up from her deep slumber and moaned in the bright light the sun emitted to her windows. Yawning, she sat up and instinctively looked at the mirror, reliving the moment when Jackson''s eyes were filled with desire as if he''d devoured her in a sh. She rose from her seat and yawned again, going into her restroom to wash her mouth and face. After putting on some skincare routine, she faintly smiled and gently patted her cheeks. "Is he still here? I''d hit his head if that hateful guy is still here..." She opened the door and was greeted by no one in the living room. She tilted her head in bewilderment, asking herself where he had gone. He couldn''t have gone to the guest room since that was locked. She hastily descended the stairs, noticing a sticky note set on the desk in front of the cushion. She felt a momentary uneasiness, but she dismissed it and reluctantly read its contents. It contained nothing much but a simple, [''You still looked like a child while sleeping. Think of me each day, Airina.''] She crumpled the sticky note and threw it in the trash can. "Shameless!" Evan, who heard her rant early in the morning, tilted his head and asked drowsily. "What are you whining about, sister? Hmm..." He touched his head,pletely forgotten what urredst night. Airina gritted her teeth, gently pping her cheeks to prevent him from seeing them red. "Why did you drink so muchst night? Do you even remember what you did?!"Original content from N?velDrama.Org. Evan dazedly blinked his eyes at her, truly innocent. "I don''t know... did I do something wrong? Maybe a sorry will do...?" Airina took a deep exhale and shook her head disbelievingly. She wouldn''t be able to do anything to this innocent younger brother of herset would she? If it hadn''t been for Jackson for making her unable to forgetst night, she wouldn''t be suffering this irritation. She groaned and threw the pillow from the couch to Evan, "Just wash your face, you little thing." Evan, not knowing why she was angry in the first ce, furrowed his brows confusedly. He blinked two times then upon recalling something, he curiously asked, "Did you call an Uberst night?" Airina closed her eyes. Was it because she was ashamed of what happenedst night or the fact that she couldn''t forget it, rather, her heart was wanting for more? Exasperatedly, she nodded her head. "Yes, a very annoying Uber." "Did he hit you?" "... Yes." Evan gasped, "Call the police, Rina!" Airina scoffed, "Tch, why are you still lurking here when you have your afternoon ss?! Go wash up before I throw you this pan." Evan humphed. "Are you sure that Uber didn''t hit you?" He suspiciously eyed her, as if checking if she was stating the truth. Airina raised her brow, "What? Wanna get hit instead?" Evan rolled his eyes, "Tch, I was just worried. Ah, and now that we''re on topic... what did Jackson tell you while you two were in the balcony?" Airina halted cutting the onions and the tension in her shoulders loosened when she dropped it. "... Nothing." Evan snickered, "I don''t want to dictate your life... but if Jackson wants you back, I hope you seriously reconsider it." Airina smiled at Evan''s expressive personality and giggled. If she hadn''t signed that divorce paper, would Evan be able to smile freely like this? She doubted that. She merrily nodded her head, assuring him. "Of course." "Then, I''ll wash up." He yawned, cing the pillow he was carrying back to the cushion. He headed inside his room and closed it with a lock. Airina shifted her eyes from Evan''s bedroom door and released a sigh. Last night''s urrence was only because Jackson wanted her, not because he had feelings for her. "It''s interesting how you came from cheating to chasing, Jackson." She scoffed amusingly. Chapter 6: His Goal Chapter 6: His Goal To Love You Again, My Husband Chapter 6: His Goal Evan took a deep exhale. He nced at the driver, then to Airina. He couldn''t clearly remember what had happenedst night since he got so drunk everything was hazy. But he was certain that there was another presence. Evan questioned, "Was it Jackson who gave us a ridest night?" Airina opened her eyes at his question, "Mhm, you remembered?" Evan snickered, "A little bit," he clicked his tongue, "How dare he show up in front of us and act almighty?" Airina tugged her lips upwards. She would be lying to say that her heart didn''t flutter at all. She didn''t expect him toe. Despite that she had been informed by Matthew since he rarely participated in such events, she assumed it''d take longer for them to meet each other again. She folded her hand, instantly frowning as she was reminded when he bit her shoulder. Thankfully it was not that hard, if it was, it would have been slightly throbbing from pain. "You said he hit you. Where exactly so I could give him ten-fold of what he did?" Evan worriedly and threateningly asked. Airina shook her head in disagreement, "He didn''t hit me, don''t worry so much." Evan heaved a relieved sigh. At the same time, the car pulled over in front of his University. Evan smiled at his sister and bid her farewell. "I won''t be able toe home tonight because I''ll be living in the dorm till I graduate." Airina simply nodded her head, "I get it, but do visit if you have time." He beamed in delight, "I should. Bye." "Mhm, take care." Matthew stared at her, who was unusually pondering about something solemnly. Earlier in the board meeting, she also didn''t raise her hand to inquire. Normally, she would endlessly inquire about those who were presenting but for some reason, she didn''t and remained quiet. It might be because ofst night''s event. He blinked his eyes. "What is the matter?" Airina almost immediately fixed her eyes on him. "U-uh, nothing?" He frowned. His auntie, Wendy Halton, Airina''s biological mother, had told him about Airina''s circumstance and couldn''t even sympathize with her since it maye off unintentionally offensive. He still remembered the first time he saw her and could only shake his head in disbelief. Her eyes were swollen and red - obvious that she spent most of her nights crying. He felt so bad that she had to go through such a miserable marriage. And the same man who hurt her heart came into the Founding Anniversary and made quite the unforgettable scene. Matthew discerned her expression, "The most emotionless face is the most expressive face there was." Airina powerlessly sighed. "Why are you adamant about knowing?" Matthew smiled, "You worry too much about Jackson." Airina unwillingly nodded her head. "It''s not that I worry about our rtionship, but I am likely just annoyed that I had to see him in such a situation." "But you didn''t have to spend alone time with him." Airina was well aware. It is a courteous thing to invite other CEOs to the Founding Anniversary tomemorate the years thepany was established. Matthew also thought he wouldn''te since it wasn''t the first time he had rejected appearing at parties, nor was it his first time of inviting him. Airina sprang from sitting with a sigh. She clicked her tongue, "I just hate his face."This is the property of N?-velDrama.Org. "Rip him apart, I say." Airina chuckled, "Rather, I''d like to see him cry and beg." Matthew nodded his head. No one knew how dangerous a woman could be after being cheated on and wanted to get revenge. Matthew could denly swallow how saliva roughly knowing that Airina would prevail in this path even if it meant she might get hurt in the process. He followed her figure and averted his eyes with a wistful click of his tongue. Airina folded her arms at the sight before her - Jackson. Weren''tst night''s ''coincidental'' urrences with each other her insufficient? Moreover, it was clear that he was merely interested in and not because he harbors deep affection. She wouldn''t call it a deep affection, but a faint of his emotion. carved that way. Is this what he meant by ''return anyway? While she was having her leisurely time having coffee and cupcakes, Jackson had to appear right in front of her and act pretentious as though they were close. Pushing him away is not her forte, instead, an exchange of greetings should be done. Her ex-husband was sitting in front of her with an amusing smile. "I thought it would take me a long time to see you again." "Perhaps." A word. Airina responded to him with one word. Why? With a dark frown, he coldly asked her. "Is something the matter?" His voice contains both worry and confusion. "Yes." She straightly answered without waiting for a beat. He offered, "Something I could help with?" "Absolutely." In an instant, his face became brilliant to which she quirked her brows in bewilderment. "What is it?" She smiled, "Nothing, I suppose you''re too stupid even if I tell you." He arched his lips, leaned on the chair, and stared at her cupcake before looking at her again. "Did you get a good night''s sleep?" The waiter, whom Jackson ordered from, served the same cupcake Airina ordered on the desk wordlessly. Airina noticed his pettiness and stood up. "Where are you going?" Airina deeply sighed. "Not that I need to inform you." Just like that, she smoothly headed out of the restaurant without an expression on her face. Early morning surprise from him does her no good. It had been ten months - quite a long time. Jackson didn''t bother chasing after her as he was certain they''d see each other again. Mainly because he has ''something'' to give. He stood while witnessing her car driving away. "Did you see her?" The assistant confusedly frowned. Since earlier, his boss had been out of his mind after seeing Airina whom he had spent a time with for a moment. He didn''t know what kind of camaraderie they had but it felt suspicious for some reason. "Oh, that woman in the restaurant? She left, Sir" "We should see her again, don''t we?" He emphasized coldly. "... Per... perhaps." It was fortunate that he had the chance to see her again. Because he dearly missed her. He proimed firmly, "I''ll make you mine..."
