Seeing the change in Jackson’s expression, Amelia knew what he was thinking.
She asked indifferently, “So, do you still want to treat me, a woman who sells herself, to a meal?”
Knowing that she was a pr ostitute,
Jackson would definitely reject her without hesitation.
Unexpectedly, Jackson said firmly, “Of course.”
After that, he went straight to the hotel restaurant.
Looking at his back, Amelia was stunned.
After hesitating for a moment, she still followed him.
When the restaurant manager saw Jackson, he greeted him in person.
“Mr. Collins, this way, please.”
The manager led them to their quiet and comfortable seats. He pulled out the dining chairs thoughtfully and respectfully handed them the menu.
Jackson took the menu and asked Amelia,
“What do you want to eat?”
Amelia said indifferently, “I’m not hungry. Mr. Collins, you can order for yourself.”
For patients with heart failure, their appetite would decline, and they would not be able to eat anything.
Jackson didn’t say anything when he saw how flat she was. He casually ordered a few light dishes and returned the menu to the manager.
After the manager left, Jackson picked up the water next to him and poured a glass
for Amelia.
His movements were elegant, and every move he made was always filled with an excellent upbringing.
He had not changed at all. He had been
different from the other children in the orphanage since he was a child.
He was silent, quiet, and polite. He was also one of the best at studying.
At that time, she felt he was the best gift God had ever given her, and she was overjoyed.
But now, she touched her chest, which was still aching faintly.
Jackson frowned slightly when he saw the light in her eyes turn dark.
“What are you thinking about, Ms. Garcia?”
“I was thinking about a sentence I saw on the Internet.”
Jackson asked with great interest, “What is it?”
Amelia said in a low voice, “The Man Dumped His Girlfriend When He Success.”
Jackson did not understand the deeper meaning behind her words, but he felt that she was hinting at him.
“Ms. Garcia, you’re not talking about me, right?”
Amelia didn’t reply. She picked up her glass and took a sip of water silently.
Jackson saw that she was silent and felt
even more certain she was talking about him.
In fact, he was a little suspicious that what he had investigated was wrong, but he really couldn’t remember her.
However, when he saw her weakness last night, he was worried and even felt uncomfortable.
This feeling was authentic. Was what Amelia had said before true?
“Ms. Garcia, did you really say you’re my girlfriend?”
“No, I’m lying to you.
Amelia denied it quickly.
Jackson was a little disappointed when he
heard this. “Why did you lie?”
“I want to marry into a rich and powerful family,” she said with a poker face.
She felt that Jackson had asked this question to test if she remembered her warning.
He would probably kick her again if she answered or explained as truthfully as before.
It just so happened that to prevent him from suspecting the relationship between her and James, she had defined herself as a pr ostitute.
She could use this as an excuse to dispel his worries that she would expose her past with him.
Jackson couldn’t tell what she was thinking.
However, when he heard what she said, he was more disappointed.
It was strange. When Amelia was entangled with him in the past, Jackson felt that she was scheming.
After hearing what she said, he felt disappointed, sad, and a little unreconciled.
“Do you still want to attach yourself to me now?”
“I’m not worthy of you. Forget it.”
She replied in a flat voice with a little impatient.
That’s enough. He’s been testing her. Did he think she was idle?
Jackson’s lips curled, and he looked a little embarrassed.
In fact, he felt embarrassed when he asked this question.
How could he ask such a question?
It seemed it was time for him to go to Erin and register for neurology.
