The CEO’s Ex-Wife Can’t Escape

To Love You Again, My Husband

Chapter 28: Confrontation

Desire. The desire to want something and work for it to possess is something Jackson doesn’t understand yet. For an affluent person like him, a flick of his finger is all it takes to get what he wanted. It was an understandable statement since money is the answer for everything.

And in that certain moment when Airina told him to beg just so she’d want him too made him speechless. He was dumbfounded that the meek woman in his dreams and in the past transformed into someone dangerous as she is right now.

At least that was what she wanted to be seen and it absolutely did her justice.

It was noticeable when she fluctuated and becomes weak, yet she tried hard not to remain like that. As expected, the woman he wanted isn’t easy.

Only a restrained, low laughter came as a response from him. It indicated that her offer of challenge wasn’t as easy as he thought. He, the owner of Georgiñia group, will beg for a woman’s affection and desire?

No, he would never.

He would never descend that low.

Until right now.

Airina smiled at him, as though she had grasped the success she had been waiting for. The man she dearly loved back then was pleading for her love. It was such a turn of events.

“I told you, Jackson, your wife Airina Georgiñia sn’t here”, She leaned forward, poking his chest, “I am Airina Beverly.”

He lowly chuckled, “You haven’t even heard my answer yet,” He smiled, and grabbed her hand. He pecked the back of it, “I will make you mine.”

“And I’d like to see how you do that.”

“Look forward, since your surname will be changed once again into my surname.”

Though told to enjoy herself, Nicole got out of the venue and everything went well when Airina and Jackson came back.

And as a compensation, Jackson gifted Evan a sports car from his company, the latest at that. Evan didn’t want to accept but as there were people inside, he didn’t want to further make the gathering uglier as it already was.

Alas, the celebration, though interrupted, came to a beautiful end. It was as if nothing had happened.

On the other hand, her car came to a sudden turbulence – it doesn’t start so she needs to buy another one. Since it was raining, she couldn’t ask for it to be towed. Jackson, who was kind enough, gave them a ride back home. Evan disliked it but couldn’t decline it as Matthew was a tease enough. He said he needs to take care of Elisa, while the Halton family just advised her to follow her heart.

Airina was bewildered if they were forced to allow her or they just didn’t want to meddle in their affairs.

When they arrived home, she assumed Jackson would say something but he only smiled. Mischievously, at that.

Evan folded his arms, looking at her in observation. She could sense his scrutinizing gaze and couldn’t help a shudder.

She asked, “Are you upset about Nicole? Don’t worry about her, I’ve taught her a lesson.”

She twirled her fork, getting pasta out of her plate and then putting it in her mouth. In a relaxed demeanor, she chewed slowly. Evan didn’t feel happy about this. He had been telling Airina that Jackson doesn’t desever her. But why would she want to entangle with him frequently when he should have known his place?

He sighed, then rose from his seat. He took his car keys from the table and heard Airina.

“Where are you going?”

He smirked, “Just some stroll with my sports car.”

Airina laughed, “Don’t go too far, or over speed. I will smack you if you does.”

Evan nodded his head, mumbling underneath his breath. “Someone else will get that smack.” He clenched his fists, approaching the finest car he had even seen in his entire life. It would have been one of the best gifts if it hadn’t from Jackson.

He clicked his tongue, going inside it and driving. He knew his way to Georgiñia’s group and no one would be able to stop him from going inside his office.

“Hello, Mister Beverly. Sadly, you don’t have any schedule with Sir Jackson.”

Evan smiled, “Why don’t you ask him if he’s really going to reject me?”

The woman in the front desk gulped her saliva. “I-I’m sorry, but I don’t think that’s possible.”

“Stop”, Jackson’s voice rang in both of their ears. Though he doesn’t know Evan’s intentions of coming in his group, he stll would like to talk to him. “Come inside.”

The woman in the front desk shivered since she didn’t know her boss was acquainted with this young man. In a hurry, she bowed her head to pay respects.

Inside the elevator, Jackson asked him. “Is there something you need my assistance with?”

“Nothing in particular.”

“Ok, then let us go to my office for further conversation.”

“That’s my motive.” He smirked, causing Jackson’s assistant to feel very uncomfortable between these angry guys.

The assistant closed the door for them to have a hearty talk with each other, since they seemed to need that much.

Evan looked at him while Jackson poured the coffee for him. He waved his hand away, “I don’t need that, I don’t drink coffee from strangers.”

Jackson nodded his head, settled across from him and smiled. “Well, you can start. You even came here uninformed.”

“It’s no fun if I call you.”

He pondered, “This must be because of Airina, right?”

Evan agreed as he rummaged from his pocket. He threw the car keys on the table, pointing at it with his chin.

“I came to return that back.”

“What do you mean? I gave it to you.”

Evan breathed in, “I don’t need gifts from someone no one invited.”

Jackson felt amused. Back then, Evan was similar to Airina. He would only greet him with a smile, he’d even bow in front of him. Previously, Evan even respected him and that shattered the moment he parted ways with his sister.

“You can use it. Think of it as a gift from your ex-in-law.”

Evan linked his hands. Earlier, he was anticipating of meeting him but all he could feel was infuriation currently.

“I don’t need your words or your gifts. Nor do we need your unnecessary questionable actions to my sister.”

Jackson shook his head, “I promised her I’d make her love me.”

“And do you think she’d love you after those things you put her through? You even cheated on her with Nicole.”

“Ironically, Nicole and I were nothing.”

“Shameless, you have no shame for what you did. All you want is to keep your promise and never the feelings of others.”

Jackson frowned, “Funny enough that you and Airina said the same thing.”

“Likely since we’re siblings and we mutually hate you.”

Jakcson sighed. He glanced at the car keys and then turned away.

“I’ve already given you my cherished car. I only want you to use it as much as you like.”

Evan stood up, “No need, it’s as ugly as you are.”

Jackson could only follow him using his gaze and touched his forehead in a depressed manner.

It wouldn’t be easy to win their favors.

Airina slammed the table after a scoff. She yelled, “What in the world are you thinking to have Nicole as our model? Matthew, are you blind?!”

Matthew knew she’d react strongly like this. But the people are fond of Nicole and to have a higher sell, they should widen their range and think practically. Nicole has a job of model which could benefit both parties, it isn’t too bad.

Calmly, he answered. “Rina, this is work. I broached out Nicole for both gains.”

Airina slumped on the chair, flipping her hair in an annoyed manner. “You really have no understanding how it would be uncomfortable for me”, she frowned, “I also have to meet Linda this weekend.”

Matthew’s brows quirked, “About the paintings? You can imprison her for theft.”

Airina smirked, “That’s too easy for her, I’ll handle it better this time around.”

“And what of Nicole?”

For a moment, Airina forget about her existence and gritted her teeth. She rolled her eyes with an unwilling groan.

“She better do her job as a model for me to remain silent.”
