I never intended to harm Jaeden with the knife, my goal was to make him feel regret and pain by sharing my suffering.
With Jaeden, I never need to carefully disguise myself, all I have to do is show him my emotions. Jaeden is very good at empathizing with me.
Jaeden, when you find out that everything you did for me has been ruined by Skyla, will you choose her or me?
That night, I stayed at Jaeden's villa. Jaeden didn't touch me, not even a single finger. He didn't dare to sleep in the same bed as me.
While I slept on the bed, he made a makeshift bed on the floor.
The mighty president of the Abbott Family had fallen to the level of a dog.
That night, halfway through his sleep, I heard desperate and low sobs. It was Jaeden crying in his sleep.
I didn't know what he dreamed of, but I heard him calling my name in his sleep.
He said, "Desi, don't leave."
Jaeden became fragile and sensitive. He no longer loved to laugh, and the once cheerful young master seemed to have vanished.
I remembered how Jaeden used to love holding me while sleeping. During the summer, when I complained about the heat, he would pout and say, "No, I want to hold you." And I always gave in with a good temper.
And the once proactive and passionate Jaeden in front of me had become cautious and timid.
I asked Jaeden how he planned to treat me and how he would deal with Skyla.
I said sarcastically, "Jaeden, five years ago you chose Skyla. Now, do you plan to abandon me?"
Before I could finish, Jaeden immediately refuted me. Afraid his voice might startle me, he lowered his tone.
"Desi, I never thought of abandoning you. Whatever you want, I'll give it to you." While saying this, he begged for my forgiveness. He looked at me almost obsessively and cautiously took my hand.
"My grandfather raised me from a young age. He lived a frugal life. When you came to our home, he even made pizza for you, which was something he wouldn't eat even during the New Year.
"My dear grandfather was killed by Skyla's dog." I cried as I grabbed onto Jaeden's shirt.
"Jaeden, I want Skyla to pay for my grandfather's death. Can she do that?"
The more I spoke, the more agitated I became. I remember gripping Jaeden's shirt tightly, and my tears nearly soaked his chest.
"People say an eye for an eye. I want Skyla dead. Can I have her dead?"
I deliberately put Jaeden in a difficult situation, knowing he wouldn't agree.
Jaeden stroked my hair for a long time.
I heard Jaeden's steady breathing, the sound of his heartbeat, and my own sobbing.
Then the villa became quiet, and Jaeden whispered, "Okay."
I suddenly lifted my head to look at him. Jaeden's face was ghastly pale, like that of a prisoner about to be executed. He kept repeating that word.
"Okay."
"Okay."
"Okay."
He kept repeating it, and I almost couldn't bear to look at him. He seemed mad, but his hands gripped my wrist tightly.
After a moment, Jaeden calmed down, his eyes glowing like ghostly flames.
"It's two lives."
