Chapter 1544

Violet lowered her head and replied, "Yeah.He told me that we don’t have to worry about him."

Honestly, Aaron was the only one who knew his own situation.He needed to serve two years in prison,
and it meant he lost two years of his freedom.

Although it was not a long time, it was definitely not short either.

Rose did not say anything anymore.

Jackie sent both of them back to the Lovegood mansion.He stood in the courtyard as he watched both
of them enter the house.

After a short while, he turned around and went back to his car.

Just when he opened the door, Violet came out and said, "Wait."

He turned his body sideways, and his gaze fell on her face.

"Yeah?"

She hemmed and hawed for a while and said without lifting her head.

"I want to thank you."

She waited for a long while, yet she did not receive any response from him.

Violet smacked her lips and said, "Forget about it if you don’t want it."

Jackie suddenly chuckled.



"Who said I don’t want it?" Violet was stunned.She met his gaze and realized there was a smile in his
eyes when she looked closely.She hastily averted her gaze and said, "Who knows? What if you really
don’t want it? Wouldn’t it make me look like a clown?"

He fell silent for a while before asking, "So, you're just going to give me a verbal thank you?"

"Are you saying that I should buy you a meal?" Jackie nodded.

"Well, I won’t say no to that." Violet was stumped.

"You really aren’t going easy on me." He chuckled.

"Why should I? After all, isn't it normal for a sister to buy her brother a meal?"

Violet crossed her arms in front of her chest, turned her head sideways, and said, "Alright, alright.It's
not that I can't afford to buy you a meal."

After that, she added, "So when will you be free?"

He took a step forward to close the distance between them and said, "I’m always free."

It was quiet in the restaurant.

Everything in the restaurant was gray in color, and the wall lights were dark blue.

When they looked down at the night view of Octavia, all of the lights looked like glittering pearls in the
night.Violet sat at the window seat and ordered their food.

There was a fluffy white coat draped over her shoulders.She wore a champagne-colored turtleneck
shirt with a bow tied around the collar.She combed her hair into a ponytail, leaving her face exposed to
the air.She closed the menu and handed it to the waiter.



"That'll be all.I'll call you again if I want to add on other things after my friend arrives."

The waiter asked, "Do you need wine?"

She was stunned for a moment as something crossed her head.

"A bottle of Cabernet Sauvignon."

"Okay.Please wait for a moment."

After the waiter went away, she placed her hand on her forehead and poked the scented candle on the
table with her finger.

"He’s the one who wants me to buy him a meal, but he’s so slow.He won’t stand me up, will he?" she
mumbled.

Suddenly, a figure loomed over her, blocking the light around her vision.She lifted her head and was
slightly stunned.She continued to gaze at the figure as it slowly became clear in her eyes.

Jackie sat opposite her.He was wearing a well-pressed dark suit.He did not wear a tie, and there was a
folded pocket scarf on his chest, which was a champagne color that matched her shirt.

Both of them looked at each other for a long while, and then Violet couldn’t help but chuckle.

Jackie frowned and asked, "What are you laughing at?"

Violet could barely hold her smile as she said, "We’re just coming for dinner.You don’t have to dress so
decently."

"I need to keep up my appearance."



"I haven't seen you pay attention to your appearance before."

Jackie lifted his eyelids to look at her.

"Have we ever gone out to eat together before?" She was stunned.

He was right.It was true that they had never gone out to eat together before.

The waiters brought the dishes with the wine and opened the bottle to decant it.

After they went away, Jackie squinted and asked, "Are you going to drink wine?"

Violet slowly poured the wine into the glasses and said, "Of course.What's wrong with drinking some
wine while having dinner?"

"Alright, then," he replied.

"I’m fine with anything as long as you are fine with it."

Violet lifted her glass and said, "Of course, I’m fine with it.I just want to know how well you can hold
your liquor, my dear brother."
