Chapter 431 Letting Go

Chapter 431 Letting Go

The Scott family’s butler, seeing how urgently Jackson wanted tacos, personally drove over with a fresh batch.

Inside the insulated container, the tacos were still piping hot.

After taking the food box, Jackson quickly plated some for Lily and added a small dish of refreshing pickles prepared by the Scott family chef.

“You’re still standing here?”

Once the tacos were ready, Jackson noticed James still rooted to the spot by the bed like a wooden post. His tone turned mocking.

“What, you planning to cat the tacos I had the chef make just for Lily? Or maybe you want to watch me feed her? That’s a pretty special hobby you’ve got there.”

“Jackson…”

Lily knew Jackson didn’t have a good opinion of James.

Just like when they were kids, he was overly protective, convinced that James had wronged her.

She had told him more than once that James was a good man and had never truly hurt her, but Jackson still saw him as a cold, heartless scoundrel.

She couldn’t change Jackson’s bias, but she also didn’t want him and James to get into a fight. She tugged at his sleeve again. “James has helped me many times…”
