Dangerous Love: You Are My One and Only Bride novel Chapter 527

Jackson took a deep breath. “Would you like to split the hotel bill evenly with me too? I don’t need you to save money for me, why are you calculating the flight tickets with me? I have more than enough time to pick you up from your house, but I didn’t, and you’re not mad at me either. You didn’t even ask me about it. In my opinion, these things show that you don’t care at all.” He had always been the apathetic one in a relationship, it was what he was familiar with. Now that the roles were reversed, he did not know what to do. He was panicking.

Tiffany’s slow-moving brain finally sped up. She finally realized he was not acting out because he was tired of her or regretted dating her. She sighed in relief. “It’s not that… I don’t care. I just don’t want to spend your money before we take things further in our relationship. I’m afraid your mother might think that I agreed to date you for your money… I know this small amount of money doesn’t matter to you, but this is my dignity. I assumed you didn’t pick me up because you had something important to attend to. Why should I sulk because of that? It’s not that I don’t care, I’m just trying to understand you! You… Are you angry at me because of that?”

Jackson’s rage was greatly reduced after hearing her explanation. It quickly transformed into guilt. He had always thought that living a happy life together was good enough so he really did not think too much about it. He did not consider her worries. Furthermore, he did not expect her to be so concerned about his mother’s opinion of her. She had even tried to understand his lack of consideration and thought he was simply too busy. She seemed very thoughtful, no matter how he looked at it.

If that were the case, then there was no need for this discussion. However, he could see a hint of inferiority in her eyes. How could a cheerful girl like her possibly feel inferior? Why did she have to lower herself to this extent? She was entirely welcomed to throw a tantrum at him. In fact, she had the right to do so.

“Are you…” He really wanted to ask if she felt ashamed and inferior because of her past. However, he was afraid to bring up such a touchy subject. He swallowed the words on the tip of his tongue and said, “Are you an idiot? No matter how busy I am, I’d always clear my schedule to see you. Even if I’m on the other side of the world, I’d fly over to you as soon as possible. I intentionally didn’t pick you up because I wanted to see if you’d get angry. My mom certainly isn’t going to care about how much money I spend on you. I earn my own salary, and I’ll spend it on whoever I want. Why should she care? If you ever do this again, I’m going to be very angry.”

Tiffany lowered her head and bit her lips before she mumbled, “I understand… I won’t be calculative over anything below 150 dollars. We’ll split if it’s more than that. If we do get married in the future, I won’t be modest with you even if it’s 15 million dollars, let alone a flight ticket. No haggling. It’s decided. I’m dying from this heat. I’m going to take a shower before I have fun with Ari. You should get to work. Call me when you have the time.” Before Jackson could reply, she walked into the bathroom. She really did not need a shower, but she wanted some time to calm down.

Indeed, Jackson really was not here for leisure. He glanced at his watch before he rose to his feet and knocked on the bathroom door. “I’ve got to go to the office. I’ll call you later.”

“Mm,” Tiffany replied. When she heard the door close, she relaxed and turned on the shower. The ice-cold water soon became warm. She lifted her head and held her breath as the water fell on her. At this moment, many different thoughts flooded her mind. She had always thought that a marriage with Jackson was out of reach. To be honest, she did not really think about marrying him. They were fine the way they were now, they were fine…
