Chapter 272
Let Love Takes Away All This Pain
Chapter 272: Getting Back On My Feet Jackson paused briefly.
But within seconds, he recovered.
Close the tub, cover it, and set it aside.
He took a paper towel, wiped the small table clean, went to wash his hands, and came out, and he sat on the sofa.
âAlva, sit down.â
Alva waited for him to speak.
Now that heâs finally said it, sheâs not at ease.
Alva sat down on the couch and looked at Jackson.
Jackson looked at her.
âYou just said divorce. I want to know what you think.â
He looked at her very seriously, as if he were discussing something with her, very seriously, very focused.
Alva nodded, flatly, âWe donât fit.â
âWhatâs wrong?â
âIt doesnât fit anywhere.â
The atmosphere is quiet.
Jackson stopped asking.
But his eyes kept looking at her, as if he wanted to look into her heart through her eyes.
He crossed his hands and put them to his lips. Jackson lowered his eyes and thought. Then he looked up at her. âAlva, let me tell you what I think.â
Alva paused and said, âOK.â
âWe are now nominally husband and wife, for better or worse, that is the fact.â
âAnd now if you divorce me, what happens after divorce? Donât you have to live?â
âYou need to live, you need to work, you meet men in your life and in your work, you get in touch with them, they get attracted to you, they pursue you, and then Uriah finds out and you hide, so youâve been hiding your whole life?â
Alva clenched her hand.
Jackson looked her in the eye and continued, âWeâre not getting divorced. Weâre just going to live our lives like normal people, and Uriahâs going to get in the way, but so what?â
âCould he have killed me or your parents?â
âImpossible, he wonât do it, and if he wonât do it, why should you be afraid?â
Alva shook her head. âYou can have a better life. You can be happy without getting hurt.â
Jackson laughed. âHappy? What is happiness?â
âLying in the same bed with someone you donât love, no words, this is happiness?â Eating at a table with someone you donât love, without any warmth, is happiness?â
âIf you think itâs pleasure, I donât think itâs pleasure. I think itâs pain.â
Alva was silent.
Jackson took her hand, put it in his palm, wrapped it, and looked deeply at her. âAlva, the happiness you feel is not the happiness I want, the happiness you feel is not the happiness I want, do you understand?â
Alva looked up, her eyes silky and confused. âBut what happened that night made me feel dirty, and I canât forgive myself for what happened in my marriage.â
She really canât forgive.
So, she married him, she⦠I canât give myself to him.
What does he do with a marriage like this?
Jackson squeezed her hand like a shell to hide a pearl, and his palm grew hot.
âIf you say so, blame me. I went behind your back.â
Let her condemn herself like that.
Alva shook her head, âI donât blame you, I promised you to get the license, I broke my word.â
Jackson laughed. âYou think you left without me knowing?â
Alva was stunned.
Jackson bent his lips, âI know, I knew before you left, but I didnât stop you, because I wanted you to complete your dream, and then have no regrets, of course, I also mean once, secretly took the hukou to get the license, I will tie you up for the rest of your life.â
âSo. Alva, donât feel sorry for me, donât push me away for any reason. Iâll give you a lifetime to figure it out. I donât think Uriah can stay with us forever.â
Jacksonâs words touched Alvaâs heart.
Her cold heart warmed a little, and then beat vigorously.
She looked at him carefully. âI canât give myself to you. Is that okay?â
âLove a person, how can, do not love a person, how can not.â
âAlva, I love you. All my life youâve given me nothing, and Iâm happy and happy with you by my side.â
As the night wore on, Jackson fell asleep. Alva sat by the bed, watching him with a twinkle in her eye.
Jacksonâs right. Running away never solves anything The more she runs, the more Uriah will put himself in a corner.
Just like this time.
She was in pain, she was desperate, she was numb.
But if she resists him, then even if it hurts, it wonât be trouble, it wonât be despair.
Alva went to the nursesâ station and asked for a pen and paper and began drawing on the small table.
Starting this night, sheâll be back on her feet, facing whatever storm lies ahead.
cÄ tin My Fest Ambrose emerged from the meeting room and raised his wrist to check the time.
Ten fifty It had been almost twenty-four hours since Unah had sued the men, thirty-two hours since Alva had called him She hasnât sent him the drawings, she hasnât called him Did she make up her mind to quit?
Ambrose, frowning slightly, walked into the studio.
As soon as I walked into the studio, my phone rang.
As soon as he stopped, he picked up his phone.
