Chapter 297: Chapter 297

Chapter 297 Make Our Heads Cool Alston’s hostility was too apparent, so Cynthia hastily pulled his hem and glanced at him, Unexpectedly, Alston not only didn’t say anything to ease the atmosphere but instead grabbed Cynthia’s hand, took her into his arms possessively, and said to Jakson, “Mr. Carter, if you don’t meet a girl after your own heart, maybe I can introduce my business partners’ daughters who reached marriageable age to you.”

Jakson frowned with a gloomy expression. It turned out that Alston attempted to let out the topic they avoided openly.

“Mr. Smith, I’m afraid you misunderstood. It’s not that I can’t find a girlfriend, but I already have a girl I like. I just haven’t made her my girlfriend.” Since Alston put the cards on the table, Jakson would not give in.

Jakson looked at Cynthia as he spoke and smiled. “Cynthia, Mr. Smith hasn’t come back for three years. Since when did he start working as a matchmaker? Is Smith Group not busy recently?”

Cynthia was also a little embarrassed and pinched Alston’s waist, but her steel-like muscles made her hand pain.

She blushed scarlet with anger and smiled at Jakson awkwardly. “Well, maybe because Alston sees you like Keller and Desmond so much, he is afraid you will feel lonely, so he wants to introduce a girl to you. Please don’t mind.”

“Of course, I don’t mind.” Jakson looked at Alston’s darkened face and smiled meaningfully, “When she promises to be my girlfriend and I hold a wedding, I will invite you, Mr. Smith.”

Invite Mr. Smith to attend his ex-wife’s wedding.

Alston looked into the provocation in his eyes, which made his face even more gloomy.

After Jakson left, Cynthia blamed Alston. “Alston, how could you say that to Keller and Desmond in front of Jakson? Also, introduce a girl to him? When did you like to be a matchmaker?”

Seeing Cynthia blame him with a tense face, Alston felt extremely aggrieved, and an inexplicable look was in his eyes. “So what? Are you unhappy that I introduce a girl to him?”

Alston’s words brought Cynthia up short and made her angry. “When did I get upset because of this? I don’t have any special relationship with him. Is there any need for me to be upset? I just said that what you just said was very rude. What do you mean?”

Thinking of Jakson looking at Cynthia with affection, Alston hardly controlled his urge to gouge out Jakson’s eyes. To Alston, Jakson’s intention of snatching his wife and children away from him was too evident.

During the three years of his absence, Jakson participated in Cynthia and the children’s life and gained their acceptance. As soon as Alston thought of this, he couldn’t suppress his anger when he spoke.

“I don’t like him and his behavior. I hate it. If he likes sons and daughters, he can have children. Why does he covet other person’s children and wife.”

Cynthia had no choice but said, “Covet? He just likes our two kids and treats them well. Is there a need to use the word ‘covet’?

Also, he said he has already had the girl he likes. When did he covet me? Isn’t the incident in the box just a misunderstanding?”

Alston looked into Cynthia’s angry eyes and couldn’t help but think Jakson concealed his feelings very well today, without any trace. Alston wondered if Cynthia had forgotten the embarrassing scene last night.

He thought Jakson’s ulterior purpose was evident and didn’t understand why Cynthia didn’t perceive it and still had a good impression of him..

As Alston was lost in his mind, his eyes turned red, and his face was filled with grievance and anger. Then he said impulsively, “Cynthia, during these three years of my absence, is Jakson taking my role to take care of my wife and watch my children grow? If I hadn’t returned, Jakson would become the host of the Smith family, your husband, and my children’s father, wouldn’t he?”

“You! What nonsense are you talking about?” Cynthia’s eyes widened, and she looked at him in disbelief. “Alston, do you. know what you are talking about? I have been waiting for you for three years and managing the Smith family wholeheartedly. I don’t develop any relationship exceeding the friendship with Jakson or other men. What qualifies you to say that about me? What qualifies you to doubt me?”

As Cynthia said, her eyes were a little wet. In the past three years, she didn’t have a comfortable sleep. Every day, she was afraid someone would plot against the Smith family and that she would destroy the group. She studied day and night and worked on a high alert. Besides, she gave up her job in the hospital, even though that was her dream.

She didn’t dare to relax and was afraid she would think of Alston when she was free and that he would die in some unknown corner. In the past three years, she swallowed countless bitterness. She didn’t know why she still had to be suspected by Alston.

Seeing Cynthia’s red eyes and tears streaming down, Alston suddenly realized what he had said and hurriedly wiped away her tears.

He said with care and apology, “Cyn... Cynthia, I was wrong. I was really wrong. I was just... jealous. Yes, I was jealous.”

He bent down his tall body, looked at Cynthia’s face almost pleadingly, and wiped her tears clumsily. “When I saw the two children like Jakson so much, I was afraid and jealous. Also, you have such a good attitude toward him. In my dream, you would only look at me and like me wholeheartedly, but now, someone else appears in your eyes. I’m afraid...”

He spoke incoherently, his handsome face was filled with panic, and his lips trembled. “I haven’t participated in your these three years of life. I’m afraid that someone will appear to take my place.”

Jakson’s almond eyes were red, full of tears. “What about you? I haven’t participated in your three years of life. Do you know my feelings about when you came back with the pregnant Gigi? You lost your memory, forgot everything, and forgot our past. You even let her live at our home. You said you didn’t like her; the child in her womb was not yours. Whatever... I will believe all you said. But you... You doubt me and Jakson...”

Cynthia couldn’t continue and wiped her tears hard. “I tell you. I haven’t betrayed you in the past three years and haven’t had any vague relationship with any man. It depends on you to believe it or not. I think we both need to make our heads cool.”

After speaking, she rushed upstairs without giving Alston a chance to react.

Alston looked at her sad back and clenched his fists tightly. After seeing the gifts brought by Jackson, a hint of anger flashed in his eyes, and he slammed all of them down.

Although the gift boxes were smashed to pieces, the anger and depression in Alston’s heart had not diminished. He felt depressed.

Alston had never been a person with a good temper. In the past few years, he was moody and had a perverse personality. With the growth of age in these years, his temper had improved a lot, and he was good at hiding his emotions, neither getting angry easily nor being so impulsive.

After Jakson came to his door today, the anger in his heart was aroused, and he couldn’t suppress it no matter what. Because of the panic and fear in his heart, he got angry at Cynthia and said inappropriate words impulsively.

If they didn’t disentangle this matter, they might be emotionally crippled. They knew they would not like these two people, but they couldn’t ignore them.

The servants in the living room didn’t dare to say a word because of Alston’s furiousness. Greg asked them to pack Gigi’s luggage, leaving Joyce to clean up the things on the floor.

He watched Alston’s veins stand out the back of his hand and stood silently behind him. Pondering for a while, he said, “Mr.Smith, I have noticed Mr. Carter’s thoughts in the past three years and know he has affection for Mrs. Smith.”

The look in Alston’s concentrated, and he looked over suddenly.

Under pressure from Alston, Greg added, “Mrs. Smith accidentally saved Mr. Carter one night, and after that, he came to the door to express gratitude. They became familiar with each other since then. But their relationship was nothing more than that, and they never crossed the line.”

Seeing Alston still frown, Greg thought Alston didn’t believe what he said and continued, “In the past three years, Mrs. Smith has never had her own rest time. She has been busy with company affairs. You also know the Smith Group is not a small business.

There are too many things to do. Even you still have to work overtime, not to mention Mrs. Smith, who has no experience.”

“As long as Mrs. Smith has spare time, she spends time with Keller and Desmond. She has no time to think about such romantic matters, let alone have any further contact with Mr. Carter. Mrs. Smith treats Mr. Carter well because he has also helped the Smith family a lot in the past three years. He also helped Keller and Desmond a lot.”

“Other than that, there is nothing else. Mr. Smith, what you just said went too far.”

Greg’s face was stern. Cynthia worked hard to protect the Smith Group for three years, but Alston still suspected her, which would be unbearable for anyone, let alone Cynthia, who loved Alston so much.

After hearing Greg’s words, Alston’s face suddenly turned pale.
