Jackie’s lips were pressed against the side of her neck, and his breath was labored.
"Trying to get me drunk." Violet did not know how to react to his statement.
"It’s obvious that you're the one who wanted to take all those shots head-on."
‘I’ve overestimated his drinking capacity.He’s this lousy, yet he wanted to keep up his appearance"
"Violet," he whispered her name in her ear.
She felt itchy on her neck from his breathing, so she tried to dodge his face a little and replied in a
daze, "Huh?"
His slightly deep voice was rubbing against the wall of her cochlea, especially in this extremely intimate
atmosphere, which would escalate things very easily and quickly.It was not that Violet was still a virgin
and had zero experience in that department, but she had only been with Jacob before this.
She loved Jacob very much and was willing to give him everything.
That night, the euphoria that she had experienced was because of his gentle interpretation.
She could not forget not only because he died at the age when she loved him the most but also
because of all the profound memories that he had brought her.
Whenever she thought of him, past memories would be played in her mind like a slideshow of
intertwined recordings of old movies.
The traces of his existence and every scene he was in were like an epitome of his life, which was very
intense to her.
‘Ever since Jacob died, I’ve never thought about other men because they're inferior to him.Even during
the three years I was married to Jackie, I had never been this intimate with him.He hated me, and I’ve
never even thought of it.
‘But now, I’ve breached through and achieved a new height in my relationship with him.
This is an intimate encounter like never before.
And he’s drunk.A drunk man is more likely to go out of control and do absurd things.
‘Especially when the other party is him, my ex-husband who used to avoid me as if I were a parasite or
even worse, a demon.
‘If things were to escalate between us, he might think I’m cooking up a scheme"
Violet calmed herself down and pushed him away from her body.
"Jackie, why don’t you get up first?"
He let go of his arms a little and hugged her in his arms.
"Headache."
Violet whispered, "You must at least let me go first."
He murmured, "I’m cold."
Violet did not move anymore because he was really cold and shivering.She stood in place and let him
cling to her.
After a while, he stopped moving, and Violet could finally relax her stiff body.
Moreover, she was so sleepy that she did not have the mental strength to stay up anymore.She fought
against her drowsiness but gave in and fell asleep around the second half of the night.
When she fell asleep, Jackie slowly opened his eyes and stared at the person in front of him.He was
indeed drunk, but being this drunk was just a lie.He pretended to be asleep only because it was clear
that she was guarding herself against him.He gently caressed her cheek with his fingers.
‘She's indeed a chaste woman.If she didn’t resist me just now and took the advantage to get it on with
me, my interest in her might have decreased steeply.
‘If she can allow herself to do so, she’ll definitely be able to treat all other men that come at her as a
temporary distraction from her loneliness.
‘But what I want are her genuine feelings"
The next morning, Violet opened her eyes, woke up, saw the man lying beside her, and sat up
suddenly.
‘I was careless! I actually fell asleep like this last night!’ Violet got out of bed quietly, planning to slip
away before he woke up.
She picked up her bag, suddenly thought of something, and turned to look at Jackie, who was still
asleep.She rolled her eyes, took out the lipstick from her bag, walked up to the edge of the bed, and
applied the lipstick carefully to his face.
On the other side of the wall, Nolan reached out and covered Daisie’s ears.
"You didn’t hear anything.Now go downstairs for breakfast."
Daisie snorted, turned back, and walked downstairs while turning to look back at the room’s door
repeatedly.She had obviously heard something.
Nolan glanced into Jackie’s room but did not stay for long and followed Daisie downstairs very soon.
In the room, Violet covered her mouth as beads of sweat rolled down her spine.She had slept in the
saree room with Jackie last night.
How should she explain it if what they had done were to be exposed! Jackie calmed down, let go of
her, got up, and walked toward the bathroom without saying a word.
