After dinner, Tiffany and Jackson went shopping. Tiffany was the one who suggested it. She did not have anything she wanted to buy, she just wanted to walk around with Jackson…
When the heat got to them, they went into the mall. A steady flow of patrons flowed into the mall. When they passed by a watch boutique, Jackson was taken by a women’s watch. Without checking the price, he asked the sales assistant to bring it out. “This watch is nice. Do you like it?”
Tiffany looked at the watch. Jackson had a good taste. It was pretty, but it was also not cheap. “I don’t want it.”
A flash of emotion glinted in Jackson’s eyes. “Okay, we don’t want it then.” He knew that she did not want to spend his money.
When Tiffany turned to leave, Jackson softly asked the sales assistant to wrap the watch and swiftly swiped his card before catching up to Tiffany while hiding the gift. She would probably not get mad if he gave it to her as a gift, right?
When it was close to ten at night, the crowd in the mall thinned since it was almost closing time. Tiffany looked reluctant to leave.
After shopping the entire night, Jackson was worn out. “Let’s go back to the hotel? It’s getting late.”
“Is it? Alright…” Tiffany seemed to be in a daze.
Given the green light, Jackson sighed in relief. He finally did not have to continue shopping anymore. He wrapped his arm around her shoulders. “I’ll accompany you and take you on a tour tomorrow. I’ve spoken to Mark. I have the day off.”
Tiffany hummed half-heartedly as she thought about how to bring up the subject of breaking up.
The moment they entered their room at the hotel, Tiffany mustered all her courage and said, “Jackson, let’s break up.”
Jackson, who was closing the door, froze immediately. “What are you saying?”
“I said, let’s break up.” Tiffany had her back facing him. She did not have the courage to look into his eyes.
“I told you. You can’t simply say things like this.” Jackson’s voice sounded weak when he spoke. His expression had turned grim.
