Chapter 16: Jackson Sent Her Home
"Jennifer, the reason I came back from abroad is actually..." He squatted down, bending his long legs,
not caring about the differences between them.
His voice was pleasant as ever, hoarse and emotional, just like when he was singing on stage.
When their fingers touched, the coldness made Jennifer withdraw her hand back instinctively. She
avoided his gaze and stood up in a panic. "It... It's already very late. I think I should go."
"Jennifer..." The moment she passed by, Jackson grabbed her wrist and didn't want to let her go. "You
came to my concert, doesn't it mean that there's still something between us?"
"I..." Jennifer was speechless for a moment. After some hesitation, she said slowly, "I didn't know you
are Jackson Davis."
Indeed, Jackson Davis was not his real name.
How could she had known that the boy from her wild and carefree teenage years was now a world-
renowned singer?
"So, if you had known earlier, would you have... come?" He asked her in a serious manner.
Jennifer hesitated for a while and shook her head. "I don't know..."
Maybe, but she would have come as a friend.
Nothing more.
The night sky was getting darker outside the window, she dared not stay any longer. On one hand, she
was afraid that Hans would be angry. On the other hand, she was afraid of gossips.
Things were different now, the man in front of her was a superstar in the entertainment industry. If she
got too close to him, they would surely become the talk of the town.
"I really have to leave." Jennifer tried to get out of Jackson's grip.
However, he still stubbornly grabbed onto her hand and didn't want to let go. After a long hesitation,
Jackson's opened his thick, red lips and said, "I'll give you a ride."
Jennifer frowned. She wanted to refuse, but he continued to say, "It's not safe to take a taxi at night. I
will be worried if you go home alone."
She debated internally but she finally relented when she met his gaze.
As night fell, there was almost no one on the street. The journey from the Youth Square to Hyde's
Manor took about 15 minutes.
However, it felt like an eternity for Jennifer.
She looked at her watch several times, and her watch moved slowly. She was anxious, but Jackson
didn't seem to be in a hurry, so she didn't want to rush him.
Half an hour later, the car finally drove past the North Gate of Hyde's Manor.
"You can just drop me off here," Jennifer said aloud.
The villa was only a few steps away anyway.
Jackson couldn't help but laugh. He slowly turned his steering wheel, tilted his head to look at her, and
said, "Wow, now you wouldn't even give me a chance to send you home?"
"I... no..." Jennifer wanted to explain, but she just didn't know how to explain her relationship with Hans.
Besides, she was also worried that Hans would see them together.
She didn't want to take risks.
Jackson seemed relieved. "I remember back then, I used to send you home every day after school."
He was deep in his memory. "It has already been ten years..."
That's right. How many ten years did a person have in their life?
"By the way, I remember that your family didn't live here before. Did you guys move here?" Jackson
remembered. Belonging to NôvelDrama.Org.
Jennifer twisted her slender fingers and chose to lie. "Yes."
Actually, her mother married into the Miller Family the same year he left. That was how she knew Hans.
"Which building?"
"Block A building 12-1."
