Chapter 191
Jackson’s eyes quickly flitted away upon seeing Meredith’s smile.
“I need Dad to sign something.”
Meredith smiled warmly as the workbook in Jackson’s hands caught her eyes. “How about I sign it instead?”
Jackson pinched the corner of his workbook and turned to look expectantly at Jeremy.
“Just let your mom sign it instead. Don’t go to bed too late.” Then, Jeremy closed his room door.
Staring at the closed door, all the light in Jackson’s eyes was replaced with unknown fear and darkness.
Turning around, he walked quickly to his own room.
Rejected by the door, Meredith immediately dropped the smile on her face.
Extremely displeased, she marched into Jackson’s room. She kicked the door open right as he was about to close it.
The word ‘Mom’ was on the tip of Jackson’s tongue, yet he dared not call Meredith that at all.
“What’s wrong, Jack? I’m your mother. Why do you always look so sad every time you see me?”
She approached with a smile, only for her expression to shift drastically the next second. Almost as if she was a demon who had torn off a kind mask, there was nothing but ugly underneath.
“Of all the times, why did you just have to appear at that moment? All you know is to ruin my plans! Do you think I’d have kept you alive had it not been for the fact that you were useful? Every time I see you I hate you even more!” Meredith roared without restraint.
Running around her, Jackson hid in the bathroom and locked the door behind him.
Meredith ran after him to the door, continuing her round of verbal attacks that sounded downright horrible.
She did not have an ounce of like for Jackson. If anything, all she felt was deep hatred! Just like how she hated Madeline before!
Even if Jackson was the cause of her many benefits.
Sure, everyone would think that Jackson’s eyes and brows were a replica of Jeremy’s, but Meredith could not help but feel that Jackson was slowly growing to resemble Madeline.
