The CEO’s Ex-Wife Can’t Escape

To Love You Again, My Husband

Chapter 76: You’re Mine and I am Yours Completely! Airina’s POV

Jackson held my hand and through his touch, he expressed his sincerity. Although it as just our hands holding each other, I knew for sure that he told me he wouldn’t let go of me again.

“I’m in love with you, Airina. Did you hear me? I love your smile, your brows, when you’re sleeping and when you’re mad at me. I know you cared for me yet thinking back on how we started and ended back then, it was understandable that you didn’t want to be involved with me that much. So, Airina H. Beverly, would you give me a chance to anew everything?”

I hardly swallowed my saliva; my heart was pounding so much as my emotions flickered greatly. In this particular moment, I was sure that the world stopped but our eyes were focused on each other, never looking away. And the thousand words I have to say to him were relayed through my gaze.

I smiled at him.

“… I think I already have given you the chance, though.”

Jackson grinned, lifting my hand, and pecking the back of it. “Just… I feel like that time you weren’t serious as if you were just affected by what I had disclosed. But this time around I am serious. If you say yes, there’s no taking back.”

I laughed at his joke. “Why don’t you face my father first?”

His hand shook and his eyes trembled. But he sighed and put on a brave face.

“Can we go right now?”

I shook my head, “Didn’t Nicole just reveal our relationship? So, what are you going to do with her?”

Jackson heaved another sigh and smirked at me. He held my waist to which I slightly flinched. He grabbed my neck, narrowing our distances and due to this close proximity, I could feel his warm breath while his gaze remained on me only.

He gently chuckled.

“Can I savor this moment first with you, hmm?”

I joked, “If you did… when are you going to explain everything?”

He tucked my hair beneath my ears, and I shivered as his touch spotted my sensitive area. “I don’t think I should ever explain but I want to make it official with you, Airina. I want to make you mine so give me the permission to hold your hand and let’s face the media together.”

Our noses touched each other, giving me access to hold his cheek as my light smile graced his sight.NôvelDrama.Org copyrighted © content.

“It’s also fine if you don’t want to go, I am not forcing you in any way.”

I pondered for a while, “What about your parents? They always hated me, right?”

Then, I yelped when he lifted my body resulting me into wrapping my hands around his neck and relied on him completely. I looked around warily.

“W-where are we going?”

He giggled, “We’re going to my bedroom.”

“J-Jackson, aren’t we… taking things too fast?”

He again laughed at my wariness, “We’re old enough to do this kind of stuff and I think I have controlled myself well.”

I hit his shoulder, “Jackson! What are you…”

I stopped finishing my sentence when he put on the bed in a sitting position and knelt before me. He looked down, taking off my heels and shaking his head.

“Your feet are swollen and hurt from your heels.”

Following his gaze, I discovered that what he said was true, so I had to shyly and guiltily cleared my throat. I feel like I had done something so bad that my cheeks flushed in embarrassment.

He massaged my feet which was both painful yet soothing. He put oil on my feet, exempting those swollen as he put on ointment and band-aid around it. Before that, he also held my hand and put on alcohol. He folded his sleeve, washing his hands and returned to my side.

He teasingly smiled at me.

“What were you thinking earlier, huh?”

I shifted my eyes from him, stuttering, “W-what do you mean thinking? I did… nothing, ahem. My… my feet are well now I will leave!”

I sprang from sitting, intending to leave but then he clutched my wrist, pulled me, and laid me on the bed with him. He breathed out.

“Why don’t you spend the morning and night with me, today?”

“… W-what are you suddenly saying?” I blushed, covering my face.

He lightly poked my forehead as if scolding my naughty mind, “You thought so much. I meant it literally. Just be with me for this day and tonight. Let’s… have a date inside my house?”

Before I could answer him, I heard a purring sound. Jackson laughed, pointing at the cat that intervened with the sweetness that was already swirling inside the bedroom. The cat alternately looked at us then, he licked his paws, positioning himself in the narrow space between me and Jackson.

Next, he leaned his head onto my stomach and closed his eyes all while purring gently.

Jackson spoke, “I guess even my cats are attracted to you,” he laughed, “What do you think? Do I have enough charm that will make you stay with me?”

I straightened my posture, putting the cat over my belly and answered him, “Good for you this cat had seduced me.”

He shook his head, “I guess my cat have a higher effect on you.”

I lifted my head at him, feeling him gazing at me with affection and sincerity. I am old enough to take a risk so why would I need to control myself? I pursed my lips, then quickly tipped forward to his cheek, giving him a light kiss.

“… That’s my answer,” He blinked his eyes, surprised at what I did so I grumbled, “Forget it, I will leave.”

He cupped my cheeks, smiling and then stole a kiss on my lips with a proud expression on his face.

“All right! You’re mine from here onwards, never for anyone else!,” he announced with a serious tone of voice, “… In return, I am yours completely.”
