Let Love Takes Away All This Pain
Chapter 23 Coincidentally Met Up Wearing a trendy pink shirt, light grey casual pants, and white.
leather shoes, holding a Rubikâs Cube in his hand, he was unmistakably a second-generation rich kid.
It was none other than Frank. Upon hearing her voice, Frank looked over and instantly turned serious.
âAlva, you finally came,â he said. Alva put down her bag and looked at him. âWhatâs the matter?â He looked serious. Frank threw the Rubikâs Cube aside and walked over in big strides, gripping her slender shoulders. âWho was that man last night?â âDid he bully you?â His eyes scanned her like radar. Alva couldnât help but laugh. She thought he was waiting here early in the morning for something important, but it turned out to be this matter. âDo you think he looks like someone who would bully me?â She removed Frankâs hand from her shoulder and went to make coffee. Chapter 23 Comcidentally Met Lip 208 Vou Frank followed behind her, particularly serious. âAlva, the way he looked at you was like a wolf looking at a little lamb, he practically wanted to devour you!â âIâve never seen you like that.â said Frank.
Alva paused for a moment, turned her head, and spoke seriously, âFrank, he is a friend who is like a family to me. Besides that, there is nothing else.â âReally?â Alva smiled casually. âAre you sure you want to waste your time on something meaningless like this?â âWell, fortunately, you didnât fall for him.
If you did, I would explode.â After sending Frank off, Alva shook her head and smiled lightly, returning to work. It was summer, and the autumn collection for Daven needed to be designed as soon as possible. These two years, the trend of Asian style has become popular. She planned to start with this and add some modern elements, creating designs that would be more practical to be worn out without appearing too exaggerated or old- fashioned. Alva quickly got into a busy state and didnât realise it was already noon time. âStill busy?â A familiar voice appeared to her ears, Alva was startled and Chapter 23 Coincidentally Met Up looked up. âJackson?â Indeed, it was Jackson. 1238 Vouchers He stood in front of her desk, dressed in light colours, with fair skin, thick eyebrows, and big eyes. His gaze was gentle, like a gentleman. âI waited for you downstairs for a long time, but you didnât come down, so I came up,â
he said. He casually inserted his hand into his pocket, with a slight curve at the corner of his mouth, a smile as gentle as a spring breeze. Alva was surprised and checked the time, only then realising it was already noon. Helplessly, she said, âYou could have come up.â Jackson blinked. âI thought coming up would disturb you, but itâs already noon, and I donât mind disturbing you.â Alva couldnât argue with the things he said. âLetâs go, Iâve made a reservation at a restaurant,â he said. âOkay.â Jackson had made a reservation at a Japanese restaurant. The environment was elegant and comfortable, perfect for busy people. He handed the menu to Alva. âThe salmon here is good, you Chapter 23 Comcidentally Met Up should try it.â âSure.â 289 Vouters Alva ordered a salmon dish and another dish, handing the menu to Jackson. Knowing her taste for delicacies, Jackson ordered two more dishes, both of which Alva like.
After the waiter left, Jackson couldnât take his eyes off Alva. âHave you been busy lately?â he asked.
Alva poured herself some tea and took a sip. âYes, itâs summer now, and autumn will be here in just a few months. I need to prepare the new autumn collection.â âDonât tire yourself out too much.â She had gotten even thinner, and it aches his heart. âI wonât. I love my work.â She had a gentle smile on her face, with curved eyebrows and eyes, radiating beauty. She had put on a light makeup, not flashy but natural and comfortable. Her eyes were particularly beautiful, as if they were touched by a misty spring water, endearing to people. âEven if you love it, you still need to take care of your health. If I didnât come today, would you have skipped meals again?â He knew she loved her work but also knew that she often neglected her meals because of it. Chapter 23 Coincidentally Met Up 288 Wouchers Knowing she couldnât deceive Jackson, Alva said directly, âIf Iâm hungry, Iâll eat. Isnât that better?â Jackson shook his head. âIf you keep doing that, Iâll come every day to check if youâre eating.â They chatted while the food was served. In the middle of the meal, Jacksonâs phone rang. He took the phone and glanced at it, a hint of helplessness in his eyes. âI need to take this call.â âGo ahead.â Jackson got up and went outside, âMom.â âDidnât you return yesterday? Why arenât you at home?â âIâm outside.â âGot it. Have fun and come back early. Mom cooked delicious food for you.â Two years ago, when Jackson came to H City, Flora was worried about him, hence she followed him here. To avoid making her son feel restricted, they lived separately, but she would occasionally visit him. This time when Jackson returned, Flora was aware of it, but she didnât disturb him yesterday when she knew he arrived in the country late, so she came to see him today instead. She thought her son would be resting at home to adjust to Chapter 23 Coincidentally Met Up the time difference, but she didnât expect him to be out. âOkay.ââ 288 Vouchers Jackson felt helpless about Floraâs doting, but he never said anything. He knew his mother cared about him. After ending the call, he was about to return to the private room when he heard a familiar voice behind him. âJackson?â Jackson turned around, and Bella was standing not far behind him, holding Uriahâs arm
