Chapter 294 Leaving
Jackson looked into her clear eyes and whispered, “I’m going to Washington first thing in the morning.”
Alva was surprised. “Washington?”
She wanted to talk to him when this was over.
And now he’s talking about going back to Washington, which she didn’t expect.
Alva sat up and looked at Jackson. “Tomorrow morning?”
“HMM.”
Alva looked closely at his face and asked, “Is something wrong?”
She thought it would be a big deal to have him come back suddenly.
“Grandpa is ill. I must go back to see him.”
Grandpa…
Alva thought of Zack.
But Zack was Jackson’s grandfather Irwin, not his grandfather.
Alva nodded. “It’s going back.”
He frowned quickly. “I should go back, too.”
She was his wife, and his grandfather was her grandfather.
It’s just who I am and what I do now…
“No, you don’t have to go back, go about your business.”
Jackson tucked the long hair that fell down her face behind her ears.
“I have sent someone to protect you. Someone will follow you in the next two days. Don’t be afraid, they will protect you.”
“Good,” said Hermione.
He’s gone and left her alone.
She gets it.
“You don’t have to worry about me.” Alva said. “I’m safe because you
sent someone to protect me.
So, don’t come in a hurry, take good care of Grandpa.
How could Jackson not understand her? He looked into her eyes and knew what she was thinking.
Just. “can’t part with you.”
His eyes showed a deep sadness.
I don’t want to be apart from her.
I don’t think about it.
Alva smiled. “Are you a candy?”
If you stick to her, you can’t pull it off.
Jackson hugged her, rested his chin on the top of her hair, and sighed, “I wish I was a sugar loaf.”
So I can stay with her for the rest of my life.
Alva put her hand around his waist and closed her eyes. “When Im done, we’ll go to Fairy Mountain.
“Good,” said Hermione.
Early the next morning, Jackson packed up and left. Alva watched hum get into the car and didn’t turn to the factory until she was gone.
I’m supposed to meet Primo at the factory
Primo came out quickly “Miss Gellar. I’m sorry to have kept you waiting.”
“No, I just got here, too.”
“Let’s go.”
“All right.”
Primo got on the electric scooter and let Alva get on it. “The roads here are hard to drive, so it’s easy to ride and fast.”
“That’s good.”
Walking is slow.
The battery car passed the town parking lot, and Alva saw a lot of luxury cars parked in the parking lot
“You really have a lot of visitors.” Alva said.
“Yes, isn’t it summer vacation? Students come in large numbers.”
“HMM.”
