The Ceo’s Ex-Wife Can’t Escape

Chapter 45: Just Your Savior Airina sucked a deep breath, frustrated that Jackson literally has no focus on what she was saying. Instead, he only wanted to seize the time to make punch lines on her, trying to get her heart. She rolled her eyes, throwing the bandage on his forehead, and sprang from sitting.

“Bandage your own!”

Jackson giggled, pretending to act feeble and so weak in front of her. With his eyes shaped sadly and pitifully, he released a hopeless exhalation.

“I wanted to, but….,” he lowered his gaze to his hand and then shrugged as if surrendering, “I guess I should try.”Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.

She bit her lower lip, preventing the urge to hit him in the spark of frustration. After all, he saved her from being stabbed, she shouldn’t wallow in her emotions just because she was mad for not ensuring his safety.

And now that she looked back at why she was upset, she frowned her brows. In the first place, why would she get concerned over this man? He was the one who put himself in such a dangerous stunt therefore why would she worry about him? Apart from that, he was trying to win her heart and she loathes him more than anything.

In conclusion, her worries were unnecessary because he had done nothing good but bad to her. He was just acting; it wasn’t genuine at all.

As she calmed her nerves, she quickly but neatly wrapped his hand with the bandage. Although the wound was small, it could be infected by some exterior bacteria hence adequate checkup would be necessary.

Completing the final step, she looked up at him calmly, “You should go to the hospital for further examination.”

“How about you? Were you hurt?”

She pursed her lips, “This is not the time to act sweet, Jackson. Go home so you can wash up the blood on your pants.”

As such, when he looked down. there was indeed a stain of blood.

“I am not being sweet. I really was seriously concerned you would get stabbed. It’s a relief you weren’t, rather I saved you from the danger. That is a good cause.”

She mocked, “Did you do that to Nicole so now she’s into you?”

Jackson rose from the sofa, “I never did that to anyone else, not even to Nicole. In that span of time, I don’t know what hit me. I sincerely just wanted to save you.”

Airina couldn’t respond back because he sounded solemn and sincere that it would be ignorant if she ignored his kindness. It was no pretend that he got hurt to save her.

“Why would you save me, your ex-wife?”

Jackson blinked his eyes, “Is there any other reason than the fact that I don’t want you getting hurt?”

“Is this a show, perhaps? Some dramas-like where you paid someone to act dangerous so you could pull off the Cinderella savior?”

Jackson laughed at her wild imagination, then extended the boxes filled with food towards her.

“First of all, why would I risk my life just to act that? I am not an actor, nor a director of some drama. Second, I am not Cinderella’s savior,” his face drew close to her, “I am just your savior.” Then tapped her nose with his forefinger.

She dismissed his hand away, accepting the food. “I’ll take this as a repayment for using my first-aid kit.”

He raised his hand, waving weakly. “Just say if you want to eat my homecooked meals.”

“You’re being overly delusional, for your information.”

He smiled at her. “You really are unharmed. That’s a relief. How about your fever? I felt your hand is still hot. You can…”

Airina covered his mouth using her hand, “Stop your nagging and get out. You’re not even my mother.”

Jackson, surprised at what she did, froze in his spot, blinking his eyes in astonishment. She had never done anything of close intimacy to him. All she did before was flirt and seduce but in this moment, he felt like she just took the initiative to get close to him. She was even holding his arm while covering his mouth.

If this isn’t an improvement of his efforts, what?

If this doesn’t mean he has melted the iceberg in her heart, then what?

Airina belatedly realized what she had just done and it was already too late to pull her hand down when he used his unharmed hand to pull her close. Gaining the upper hand, he planted a peck over her forehead.

Frozen, speechless – she couldn’t retort.

Two people’s heartbeats were synced in the same meaning; butterflies were flying in their stomachs as their emotions were filled with a strange word – Love.

As Jackson entrapped her in a warm embrace, Airina knew for sure that Jackson had actually made her emotions waver.

Her eyes lingered on him while he smiled at her and loosened his grip on her.

“Have a good night’s sleep, Rina.”

His gentle, low, yet sweet voice resonated in her ears and unconsciously, she had slept with a grin on her face.
