apter 148 Christopherâs gaze made Oneidaâs heart skip a beat.
âWhy is he looking at me like that?â she wondered.
If Christopher had looked at Oneida with such an affectionate gaze in her previous life, she would have been so thrilled that she couldnât fall asleep.
However, she only felt disgusted by that gaze in this life.
âIf you donât let go of me...â Oneida pursed her lips and added coldly, âYou will never see me again.â
Christopherâs expression changed drastically at her warning.
He hesitated for a moment, but he slowly released Oneidaâs hand.
Oneida immediately retracted her hand and sideâeyed him coldly. âYouâd better not follow me. Iâm going home.
To her surprise, Christopher took a step forward and reached out to embrace her tightly before she could turn around.
Just like that, Oneida was in his arms.
An elegant fragrance wafted into her nostrils.
Furthermore, she could also hear Christopherâs heart pounding.
Oneida held her breath at that moment.
In her previous life, there was no such embrace between her and Christopher.
Most of the time, she was the one who opened her arms to hug him. Nonetheless, he didnât respond at all.
Now, he took the initiative to hug her.
Moreover, he did so with such force.
âWhat the hell is wrong with this man?â she pondered.
Christopher embraced Oneida tightly as if he was holding onto his lifeline.
âIda, Ida...â he repeatedly called her name in a low voice. His deep voice was pleasant to the ears. Yet, it sounded like a bloodâcurdling wail at the same time.
It was sorrowful to hear.
Christopher opened his mouth slightly and said something unexpectedly, âGive me a chance to pursue you, okay?â
Oneidaâs eyes trembled slightly.
âNo,â she rejected him without a flicker of hesitation. âI have a husband, Christopher.â There was no trace of warmth in Oneidaâs voice. She calmly and indifferently stated this fact to him.
âI know you donât love him,â Christopher replied firmly.
Oneida froze at his accusation. Her voice was tinged with anger when she responded, âWhat do you know about it?â
Upon hearing her question, Christopher fell silent.
Of course, Christopher knew that in his previous life, Oneida was unmoved by Jackson, no matter how hard he tried to win her heart.
âHow could she love Jackson?â he wondered.
âI just know,â Christopher repeated stubbornly.
Oneida suddenly reached out her hands and pushed away the man in front of her with great force.
Christopher was caught off guard by her push. He couldnât help taking two steps back.
Oneida lowered her gaze and remarked indifferently, âDonât come to me again.â
1/3 +13 4:24 PM Chapter 148 With that, she turned around and walked forward.
âIda...â Christopherâs solemn voice rang out behind Oneida. âItâs up to you whether you want to accept or reject me. However, pursuing you is my right. I will never give up.â
âIâm living my second life just for you,â he added silently.
Oneida continued to walk forward as if she didnât hear him at all.
At that moment, no one noticed that there was a black RollsâRoyce parked in the shade not far away.
Jackson was sitting inside the car, From his angle, he could see Oneida and Christopher through the window.
Jackson had just returned from Berdon Mountain. Before the car entered Garrison Mansion, he witnessed this upsetting scene.
He saw the two of them hugging each other tightly.
Furthermore, the duo looked intimate and affectionate.
Jackson didnât know how long he had been watching them.
He probably shouldnât have seen this scene.
After all, it was inappropriate for him to stare at such an intimate moment.
However, Jackson couldnât help himself and decided to watch them the entire time.
An inexplicable emotion surged within him as his expression darkened drastically.
Jackson and Oneida didnât get married because of love. He was under pressure from his parents to have a marriage of convenience.
Nevertheless, from the moment Jackson married Oneida, he secretly vowed to take good care of this woman for the rest of his life.
After all, a 19âyearâold girl would probably feel aggrieved when she suddenly got married to a disabled person like him.
Jackson did not want to let Oneida down.
Despite that, he wouldnât interfere in other private matters, such as Oneidaâs personal feelings.
Jackson even thought that if Oneida found someone she truly loved, he would let her go.
âBut why do I feel so upset, seeing her acting so intimately with another man?â he pondered.
Jackson tried his best to calm d and ordered Victor in the driverâs seat, âDrive.â
Hearing that, Victor didnât dare to delay. He immediately started the engine and drove into Garrison Mansion.
Meanwhile, on the other side, Oneida parked the car at the intersection she had agreed upon. Later, Simon would send someone to take the car.
Then, she walked inside Garrison Mansion.
As soon as Oneida entered the hall, she saw Victor pushing Jackson to the bedroom in his wheelchair.
Oneidaâs eyes lit up as she called out in a low voice, âJackson...â
As soon as she finished speaking, Victor had already brought Jackson inside the bedroom.
The door was closed as everything was blocked outside, including Oneida.
Oneida suddenly felt dejected.
Just now, she saw that Jacksonâs face was pale.
âCould it be that he is also sick?â she wondered.
Thinking of this, Oneida immediately went straight to Jacksonâs bedroom.
Before she could knock on the door, it suddenly opened.
2/3 413 Chapter 148 Victor walked out of the room and closed the door again.
Oneida couldnât see what was happening inside the bedroom.
âMrs. Bane.â Seeing Oneida suddenly appear at the door, Victor didnât look surprised. Instead, he glanced at her with a complicated expression and then whispered, âItâs getting late, Mrs. Bane. Why donât you go back to your room and get some rest?â
âI want to check on Jackson,â Oneida said bluntly.
She swept her gaze past Victor, and it landed on the door behind him.
Oneida wanted to see how Jackson was and whether he was sick or not.
Victor narrowed his eyes slightly and replied respectfully, âMrs. Bane, Mr. Jackson Bane has already fallen asleep.â
Oneidaâs gaze darkened. âJackson has fallen asleep? Didnât he just return to the bedroom? But now, Victor is saying that he has already gone to bed.
That was clearly an excuse. Jackson didnât want to see me,â she thought.
Realizing that, Oneida couldnât help clenching her fists.
Of course, she certainly wasnât going to make a fool of herself.
âI see,â Oneida responded absentâmindedly. Then, she walked back somewhat despondently.
She went back to her room.
Christopherâs face popped into Oneidaâs mind one moment. Then, it was the figure of Jackson.
âHow come Christopherâs temperament suddenly changed? Why is he pursuing me right now? Also, why did Jackson avoid me?â Oneida felt her head throb at the questions in her mind.
There was an email that had been sent a while ago to her computerâs mailbox.
The email was from Starr Training Camp.
Indeed, Oneida had to pack her bags and report to Starr Training Camp tomorrow.
She would be away for a month.
Just now, in addition to worrying about Jackson, Oneida had a selfish motive.
She wanted to say goodbye to him.
The Second Act Revenge (Oneida and Jackson)
ï¤The Second Act 147 After all, Oneida would not be able to see him for the next month.
Unexpectedly, Jackson suddenly ignored her.
Oneida had to stop dwelling on the matter and packed her things.
After packing her luggage, she was so tired that she dozed off instantly.
The next day, the first thing Oneida wanted to do after waking up was to look for Jackson.
She refused to believe that Jackson would avoid her early in the morning.
