Their Villain, The Mogul's Beloved

Chapter 351

“Zinnia, let me help him drink,” Jackson said, surprised to see Yannis being so docile for once. While it was good that Yannis was finally willing to drink, Jackson didn’t want to tire out Zinnia, so he decided to take over.

“It’s alright, Jackson. Let me handle this. You should rest for a while,” Zinnia said, glancing at Jackson with

concern.

Yannis tugged at Zinnia’s sleeve, whining in a clingy tone, “Zinnia, I’m so thirsty.” He hadn’t felt this parched until he took a sip of water.

Zinnia didn’t have time to talk to Jackson, focusing entirely on helping Yannis drink.

“Zinnia, you’re the best,” Yannis said with a tipsy smile.

Jackson just couldn’t bear to watch. After all these years of friendship, he’d never seen Yannis act so clingy and spoiled. He thought, ‘What the hell is going on with him?‘

Yannis’s smile quickly faded when the beeping from the kitchen signaled the sobering soup was ready.

Seeing his chance, Jackson scooted closer to the two of them and said, “Zinnia, let me take over.”

“Thanks, Jackson,” Zinnia said. She handed Jackson the cup. Then she gently settled Yannis’s head on the armrest of the sofa as a pillow, then headed to the kitchen.

“Yannis, drink,” Jackson ordered, having none of Zinnia’s patience. He hunched over, yanked Yannis upright, and shoved the cup toward his mouth.

Yannis stubbornly clamped his mouth shut and turned his head away.

“Drink,” Jackson insisted, pressing the cup to his lips.

Yannis kept his lips tightly shut. He lifted his heavy–lidded gaze to Jackson, ready to strike at any moment. Recognizing the vaguely familiar outline of Jackson’s face, Yannis paused.

Then he lazily closed his eyes again. “Stay away from me,” he muttered, his hoarse voice icy with dismissal. Ignoring Jackson, he wrenched free from his grip before collapsing back onto the sofa.

Jackson let out an exasperated laugh. He’d known Yannis for years, and it was only in the past two years that he had stopped getting roughed up on this day.
