My Sleeping Beauty Husband By Lyanna Nichols Chapter 268
Chapter 268
Chapter 268 He Wants to Have Her
Jakson was very handsome. Especially when he restrained the hostility on his
face, he stood out from the crowd.
Cynthia looked at him and was unimpressed. There were too many outstanding
men around her. Alston’s face was impeccable. Lorenz was very handsome and
noble. Lucien was bright and sunny. And Cain looked virile. She had seen a lot
and formed an immunity to men’s faces.
“Is there anything else?” She looked calm, without a trace of shyness on her
face.
Enter title…
Jakson was stunned for a moment. Then he gave a wry smile. People always
said he had a good appearance. As long as he pulled off his straight face, girls
would chase after him one after another. Now it seemed their opinion was not
very accurate. At least Cynthia was unmoved!
“This medicine can’t be taken on an empty stomach. I haven’t eaten anything
since this morning. I’m afraid it will lead to some adverse reactions!” He pointed
to the medicine on the table and said in a low voice.
Cynthia nodded approvingly. She took out her mobile phone and said, “How
about I order you a takeaway?”
Jakson looked at his bloody wound with a wry smile. Then he looked at her with
a pitiful look. “No. I would have ordered it if I could. But I’m afraid the delivery
man will be scared and call the police when he sees me like this.”
Cynthia was a little troubled. It was already eleven o’clock. If she didn’t go back,
Greg and the others would worry about her.
“Please help me one more time. I remember I have some food in the
refrigerator. Could you make a sandwich for me? Please! I will repay you when I
recover.”
Jakson said in a pitiful tone. Cynthia let out a sign. “Alright!”
In fact, it wouldn’t take much time to make a sandwich.
Cynthia walked towards the kitchen. It was a large open room. The kitchen was
designed in the style of a bar counter. All kitchen utensils were available, but
they all looked brand new as if they had never been used.
Jakson said embarrassedly, “Although I can cook, I don’t have much time. So I
barely use these after I bought them.”
Cynthia was not surprised. She knew he didn’t cook a lot by his appearance.
“Let me see what you have in the refrigerator. I hope you’re not picky about
food.”
When she opened the refrigerator, it was empty as if it had been robbed. There
were two eggs on the door and a handful of lettuce inside, which was a little
wilted.
All of them could only make a sandwich.
With Jakson’s hint, Cynthia finally found several pieces of toast, two eggs, and a
handful of wilted lettuce.
After thinking about it, she quickly heated up the toast and fried eggs in the pan.
In about ten minutes, a sandwich was ready.
She brought the sandwich to the table. As it was too hot, her fingertips were red.
She stamped and pinched her ears, which made Jakson burst out laughing.
For many years, he had not smiled so happily. Since his mother died, no one
had made him feel so warm.
“Here. Take it.” Cynthia hurried back to the kitchen again while saying this.
Jakson’s eyes were moistened by the sandwich in front of him. He couldn’t help
but gulp down the sandwich. Although there were not many ingredients in it and
it tasted very bland, the sense of hunger was quickly relieved.
He ate very quickly and finished it in a few minutes.
Then he leaned languidly on the sofa. His eyes were attracted by the woman
being busy in the kitchen. This scene overlapped with his childhood memory.
He struggled to survive every day and seldom recalled the past. Looking back
now, his previous memories were blurred. He only remembered when he was a
child, his family was very poor. His mother was wearing apron and was busy
around the kitchen all day long. He followed behind her and drooled over the
prepared meals.
Since he became wealthy, many people scrambled to invite him for meals every
day. He began to get tired of
those delicacies and didn’t have a good appetite no matter how delicious they
were.
When he was a child, it was a luxury to eat a sandwich every day at home. The
taste was lost in his memory, but he remembered it was delicious, just like the
sandwich in front of him.
It was simple and bland but made him very satisfied and happy in his heart.
“Alston, you’re so lucky to marry such a great woman.”
Thinking of this, Jakson’s face remained calm, but his eyes became eager. He
wanted to have this woman. His whole body started to boil and all the organs in
his body were urging him to let this woman stay by his side.
A few days ago, he heard Alston was missing and hadn’t been found yet. If
Alston would never come back, maybe Cynthia could marry someone else.
Jakson’s eyes deepened and a trace of sternness appeared on his face.
Cynthia came over with warm water. Seeing there was nothing left on the table,
she was stunned for a moment. “Wow! You eat so fast.”
“Well, I’m used to it. After my parents died, I was sent to an orphanage. A group
of children robbed food during the meal. I’m used to eating quickly so I can eat
more.” Jakson smiled heartily as if he was talking about other people.
Cynthia didn’t know what to say. She knew he had a story. His childhood was
even more miserable than hers.
Maybe that was why he turned himself into a cruel and heartless man.
“I just boiled some water for you. Take the medicine in 30 minutes. It’s getting
late. I have to go home. My family may be worried about me.” NôvelDrama.Org owns all content.
After Cynthia finished speaking, she was about to run out. After taking several
steps, a coat was thrown. toward her and covered her head.
She was stunned and looked at Jakson inexplicably. “Why did you give me the
coat?”
Jakson smiled. “Your clothes are covered with blood. It will scare the passers–
by at midnight.”
Cynthia didn’t notice it before his words. She looked down at her clothes. As the
suit was black, the blood stains were not conspicuous. But there were many
blood marks on the white shirt.
These were stained while she dealt with the wound for Jakson and it looked
dreadful at first glance.
“It’s really a bit scary. Thank you, I’ll let someone wash it and send it to you
when I go back.” Then Cynthia left with the coat covering her shirt.
When the door was closed, the whole room was filled with silence and coldness
again. Jakson’s smile faded.
He let out a deep sigh when looking at the tableware that had not been put
away.
If it weren’t for the tableware, he would have thought the scene just now was his
illusion.
He stroked the beautiful bow tie wrapped around his abdomen, and a gentle
smile appeared on his face.
Cynthia had just left the door. When the wind blew, she gave a shudder and
prepared to take the elevator.
The door of the next house was slightly opened. A phone was stretched out and
someone took several photos at her back and Jakson’s room.
“Cherry, it’s so late. You can’t go out. Why are you getting more depraved? Look
at what you’re wearing. You dress like a stripper…”
Jane’s piercing voice sounded behind her. Cherry quickly closed the door and
turned to look at her expressionlessly. “I’m not going out today.”
She had heavy makeup on her face, bold red lips, and a short suspender skirt
with silver sequins. She looked like a prostitute, who was wildly different from
her previous image.
Jane was still scolding. When she heard this answer, she was taken aback for a
moment. “Why? You don’t listen to me before.”
Cherry shook her phone and smiled excitedly. “Mom, I just took several
interesting photos.”
“What? I don’t care about those sh*t. Stop hanging out with your cronies. Get in
touch with your besties before. Only they can help you return to our circle and
introduce some good men to you. Your those friends now are all greedy for your
money.”
When Jane started rambling again, Cherry’s face was full of impatience. “Alright.
Stop! I’ve heard enough.
Our group is gone. It’s taken over by Henry. Even our house is gone. We can
only live in this kind of district. No people in the upper class would admit us. I
can’t squeeze in that circle anymore. Even if I’m in, they will only laugh at me!
Can you stop being immersed in the glory of the past? Look at our current
house. Look at where we are!”
