Chapter 135




























"Kelly." Jackson pressed her against the couch before bringing two glasses of red wine that he had prepared beforehand. "Let's have a toast to this beautiful night," he said affectionately as he handed one of the glasses to her.

Kelly took the glass of wine, set down the bouquet and clinked glasses with him. After that, she took a sip to taste the wine and stopped drinking. However, seeing how Jackson finished it in one shot, she took another sip.

"Do you want to say anything to me, Jackson?"

"Kelly, do you really love me?" he asked gently with his gaze fixated on her, not wanting to miss any changes in her expression.

"Of course, I love you." She looked at him and answered sincerely, "Jackson, don’t doubt my feelings for you. Even if other men fancies me, I will never change my mind."

"Really?" Jackson lifted her hand—which was holding the wine glass—and leaned forward to take two sips of the wine from the glass she just drank. "Kelly, why aren't you drinking your wine? Are you afraid that I drugged your wine?"

When she heard that, Kelly gently pinched his ears and replied, "Jackson, you're making me sad by saying that. Why would I even think that? What are you trying to tell me tonight?"

"Kelly, in fact, I was the one who drugged myself last night."

"I know, Yasmine told me. There are surveillance cameras installed throughout the Zorn Mansion and there are no blind spots."

He snorted twice but sarcastically.

If the surveillance cameras in the Zorn Mansion had covered all viewing angles, then they would have known who placed a sack over his head, beat him and forced him to drink the poisoned wine. However, there was no news from the Zorn Family, which implied that their statement was false. Or worse, the Zorns could have been covering up for whoever had beaten him.

"Kelly, you are the person whom I love." Jackson sipped more wine from her glass before lifting her chin and pressing his lips against hers. During their kiss, he took advantage of the entanglement of their lips and tongues, transferring the wine in his mouth to hers and forcing her to swallow it.

"Jackson." After the kiss, Kelly's face resembled a peach and she was breathing heavily. Her beautiful eyes narrowed and she lifted her chin slightly, inviting Jackson to kiss her again.

"I adore you as well, Jackson. I loved you then, I love you now and I always will."

He laughed as he heard her words. He took the wine glass from her grasp, sipped the wine and forced her to drink it the same way he had forced her just moments before. In their repeated entanglement of their lips and tongues, a glass of wine was drained.

"Kelly, let me love you well." Jackson did not let go of her when the last sip of wine was fed into her mouth, but he instead deepened the kiss and pressed her entire body onto the couch to lie down. He eventually landed on top of her since there had always been requited love between them.

Kelly could not resist the tension while under the influence of alcohol, no matter how hard she tried. In the end, she succumbed.

However, when she awoke from the incident, she gave Jackson a slap without hesitation.

"Kelly," he groaned while holding his slapped face and asked, "Why did you slap me?"

Kelly's eyes were bright red with rage; tears eventually slipped out the corners of her eyes and rolled down her cheeks. "Jackson Whittle, you're plotting against me! There's something in the wine, isn't there?" She would not have surrendered herself in such a dazed manner otherwise.

In the past, no matter how passionate they were for each other, she was still able to get out of her head and stop Jackson from progressing any further. But this time, she could not stop herself because of that glass of wine; there must be something in it.

"Kelly, how am I plotting against you? There's nothing in the glass, so how am I doing so? You are the woman I love the most. Isn't it natural for us to take the next step in our relationship after being in love with each other for so long?"

Jackson drew her into his embrace. "Kelly, I can assure you that I'll take responsibility for you. Wait till I solve the family's crisis and take over the Whittles, I will undoubtedly divorce Krystal and marry you."
