Dangerous Love: You Are My One and Only Bride novel Chapter 714

Jackson was silent for two whole seconds before answering, “Home. Was asleep. What?”

Tiffany turned red right there and then. It was only nine at night — since when did Jackson West ever go to sleep this early?! He was either working overtime or goofing around, having his fun. He never slept this early!

The worst offender, however, was that Tiffany’s implicative absence did not at all worry him — to the point that he found no problem slumbering!

Even Arianne found words failing her. After a brief albeit glaring silence, Jackson’s nonchalant voice came. “If it’s nothing important, I’m hanging up.”

And he hung up without waiting a second more.

Tiffany bit her lips. Tears broke out of her eyes and wetted her cheeks like a deluge from two broken levees. Nothing Arianne said soothed her, so she ran upstairs and went to the one person she hoped could help. “Mark! I called Jackson for Tiffie’s sake, and Jackson was sleeping, and he just hung up the phone without even asking how Tiffie’s doing, and now Tiffie’s bawling so hard that nothing I say is helping! What am I gonna do?! You know Jackson very well, don’t you? What do we do?”

Mark had been working hard in his study. He could feel a headache coming just by hearing about this issue. “Look, you’re not wrong to say I ‘know Jackson very well.’ But does that make me a love guru who knows all there is to know about relationships? No. Do I look like I’ve dated Jackson before? Frankly, I think the best way to solve this is to send Tiffany home and force those two into confronting one another — doesn’t matter if they shout or duke it out, as long as the knot gets untied in the end. The way to talk to men is to confront them head-on, you know. No one should test the limits of an obstinate man… especially when he’s conversant with the minds of women,” Mark advised. “You aren’t going to get Jackson to back down; he’s simply better at forbearance than Tiffany could ever be. He won’t find any problem enduring the grievances this whole thing is causing him with an outwardly blasé look.”

Arianne was skeptical. “Are all men like that?”
