Chapter 1550
‘It’s just a matter of time.I’m confident that I can change her mind"
Violet was startled.
"Have you lost your mind?" Jackie smiled.
"You can take it as a yes." Violet got out of his sight.
"But what if I were to keep on rejecting you?"
"Do you want to place a bet?"
"What do you want to bet on?" Jackie approached her with a deep voice.
"I bet that you’ll fall in love with me." Violet laughed out loud abruptly and looked at him.
"Are you that confident?" He narrowed his eyes.
"Do you want to bet on it?" Violet pushed him away gently.
"No, this is boring." He laughed out loud and wrapped her in his arms again.
"Are you afraid?" She lowered her head and stared at her shoes.
"It just doesn’t make sense." Jackie squeezed her palm.
She wanted to withdraw her hand, but it was clutched even tighter.
"You’re afraid of falling in love with me."
Violet did not look up, but she could hear his breathing, so close that it was brushing against her
forehead.It felt warm and itchy, and her voice sounded hoarse.
"I’m not afraid..."
"Oh really?"
He gave off a faint chuckle, and his lips brushed across the corner of her eye.
"You're just afraid of falling for me, afraid that you won’t be able to guard your heart against me." She
got anxious.
"I just told you that I don’t—"
Jackie sealed her mouth with another kiss, and this felt even more frantic than the last one.
Violet’s closed lips got broken through as his kiss intensified.
It felt like a burning affection that found its way into her heart and demolished all her defenses.
After a long while, he slowly pulled his lips off those of hers and rubbed her delicate lips with his
fingertips.
"I’m sure of that outcome."
Violet regained her senses and shoved him out of the room.
"You! What you just did is none other than fishing in troubled waters!"
He laughed and said nothing.
Violet quickly returned to the studio and closed the door, isolating him.
Jackie was not angry.He was not in a hurry and had plenty of time.
Daisie leaned in front of the car and waited.
Seeing Jackie walking out of the gallery, she stepped forward and asked, "Uncle Jackie, did Aunt Violet
get angry?"
She had just made a fool out of her aunt.If she were to be angry at her, she would not be able to play
with her again in the future.
Jackie raised his hand and rubbed the top of her head.
"Young heroine, what reward do you want?" Daisie blinked.
"Is it done?" He replied, "We're almost there."
Daisie grinned.
"Then I’ll ask for my reward when it’s done." Jackie laughed out loud.
"Okay."
Two days later...
Violet did not go to the gallery but accompanied Rose to the mall.
Rose chose a dark purple coat, which was new for the spring season, "Violet, what do you think about
this dress?"
She wanted her daughter to give her an honest opinion, but all she got was a casual response.
"It’s fine."
Her daughter was absent-minded, so Rose smiled and asked the saleswoman to pack the coat up.
After checking out at the cashier and walking out of the boutique, Rose asked her, "Have you been
keeping in touch with Jackie recently?"
She was astonished and looked away unnaturally.
"Why are you mentioning him?" Rose grinned.
"Can’t I mention him?" Violet pursed her lips and said nothing. She then raised her head and saw a
familiar figure in the crowd.
Jackie was walking out of a jewelry store, followed by a short- haired woman.
The short-haired woman looked outstanding, gentle, and generous.
The two of them looked like a match made in heaven.
Violet stood in place, stared through the passing crowd, and her gaze was fixed on them.
The woman lifted her head to say something to him while he listened attentively and gave off a faint
smile through the corners of his mouth.
Violet pursed her lips tightly, not knowing why she felt a little uncomfortable deep down.
The discomfort felt like a huge rock stuck at the bottom of her heart.
‘Liar, wanting to court me my *ss! He’s just told me that, and here he is, courting another woman!’
Seeing that she did not catch up to her, Rose stopped and called her.
"Violet?"
