Chapter 297 Make Our Heads Cool
Alston’s hostility was too apparent, so Cynthia hastily pulled his hem and glanced at him,
Unexpectedly, Alston not only didn’t say anything to ease the atmosphere but instead grabbed Cynthia’s hand, took her into his arms possessively, and said to Jakson, “Mr. Carter, if you don’t meet a girl after your own heart, maybe I can introduce my business partners’ daughters who reached marriageable age to you.”
Jakson frowned with a gloomy expression. It turned out that Alston attempted to let out the topic they avoided openly.
“Mr. Smith, I’m afraid you misunderstood. It’s not that I can’t find a girlfriend, but I already have a girl I like. I just haven’t made her my girlfriend.” Since Alston put the cards on the table, Jakson would not give in.
Jakson looked at Cynthia as he spoke and smiled. “Cynthia, Mr. Smith hasn’t come back for three years. Since when did he start working as a matchmaker? Is Smith Group not busy recently?”
Cynthia was also a little embarrassed and pinched Alston’s waist, but her steel-like muscles made her hand pain.
She blushed scarlet with anger and smiled at Jakson awkwardly. “Well, maybe because Alston sees you like Keller and Desmond so much, he is afraid you will feel lonely, so he wants to introduce a girl to you. Please don’t mind.”
“Of course, I don’t mind.” Jakson looked at Alston’s darkened face and smiled meaningfully, “When she promises to be my girlfriend and I hold a wedding, I will invite you, Mr. Smith.”
Invite Mr. Smith to attend his ex-wife’s wedding.
Alston looked into the provocation in his eyes, which made his face even more gloomy.
After Jakson left, Cynthia blamed Alston. “Alston, how could you say that to Keller and Desmond in front of Jakson? Also, introduce a girl to him? When did you like to be a matchmaker?”
Seeing Cynthia blame him with a tense face, Alston felt extremely aggrieved, and an inexplicable look was in his eyes. “So what? Are you unhappy that I introduce a girl to him?”
Alston’s words brought Cynthia up short and made her angry. “When did I get upset because of this? I don’t have any special relationship with him. Is there any need for me to be upset? I just said that what you just said was very rude. What do you mean?”
Thinking of Jakson looking at Cynthia with affection, Alston hardly controlled his urge to gouge out Jakson’s eyes. To Alston, Jakson’s intention of snatching his wife and children away from him was too evident.
During the three years of his absence, Jakson participated in Cynthia and the children’s life and gained their acceptance. As soon as Alston thought of this, he couldn’t suppress his anger when he spoke.
“I don’t like him and his behavior. I hate it. If he likes sons and daughters, he can have children. Why does he covet other person’s children and wife.”
Cynthia had no choice but said, “Covet? He just likes our two kids and treats them well. Is there a need to use the word ‘covet’? Also, he said he has already had the girl he likes. When did he covet me? Isn’t the incident in the box just a
misunderstanding?”
Alston looked into Cynthia’s angry eyes and couldn’t help but think Jakson concealed his feelings very well today, without any trace. Alston wondered if Cynthia had forgotten the embarrassing scene last night.
He thought Jakson’s ulterior purpose was evident and didn’t understand why Cynthia didn’t perceive it and still had a good impression of him..
As Alston was lost in his mind, his eyes turned red, and his face was filled with grievance and anger. Then he said impulsively, “Cynthia, during these three years of my absence, is Jakson taking my role to take care of my wife and watch my children
grow? If I hadn’t returned, Jakson would become the host of the Smith family, your husband, and my children’s father, wouldn’t he?”
“You! What nonsense are you talking about?” Cynthia’s eyes widened, and she looked at him in disbelief. “Alston, do you. know what you are talking about? I have been waiting for you for three years and managing the Smith family wholeheartedly. I don’t develop any relationship exceeding the friendship with Jakson or other men. What qualifies you to say that about me? What qualifies you to doubt me?”
As Cynthia said, her eyes were a little wet. In the past three years, she didn’t have a comfortable sleep. Every day, she was afraid someone would plot against the Smith family and that she would destroy the group. She studied day and night and worked on a high alert. Besides, she gave up her job in the hospital, even though that was her dream.
