Lilian Jackson felt even more uneasy.
She stood up with a smile and said, "You guys eat first, I’ll go for a walk in the garden."
"I’ll go too," Gideon Jackson immediately stood up, smiling brightly, "This is my first time here, I should take a good look around."
As he finished speaking, the two of them followed Uncle Lewis out of the dining room.
It wasn’t even nine o’clock yet.
But the sky was already bright, the warm sunlight shining on the blooming flowers and green trees, seemingly able to brighten one’s mood.
But Lilian Jackson still felt blocked up.
She reached out and plucked a flower petal, the soft pink petals slowly crushed between her fingers, oozing sap and staining her fingertips.
Gideon Jackson frowned as he looked at her, "Do you really like Koa?"
Lilian Jackson took a tissue from her pocket to wipe her hands, "I love him."
She lifted her head to look at Gideon Jackson, giving a bitter smile, "Brother, I love him. Always have."
"That watch," Gideon Jackson turned his head to look, rubbing his forehead with his hand, "The watch you picked for him, is it a couple’s watch?"
Lilian Jackson lowered her head to look at her wristwatch, without saying a word.
"Koa must have already known your feelings," Gideon Jackson said helplessly, "But look at the way he was talking to Mia Ginger just now, who knows if he’s doing it for you to see."
"If you know, then give up early."
"I can give up anything, except this," Lilian Jackson shrugged, "I’ve always known he’s engaged."
"Then why do you still?"
"I don’t care," Lilian Jackson gave a self-mocking smile, "I’ve always thought it doesn’t matter if he’s engaged or not, or if he gets married or not, I’m just within his reach, where he can see me with a glance, maybe one day he’ll understand me."
"What kind of talk is that?" Gideon Jackson’s face turned dark, "This engagement was arranged by the old man, and now the real fiancée is back, you’d better not get involved, be good."
"I won’t." Lilian Jackson sneered coldly, "Do you think just that girl is worthy of him? Do you know what her adoptive mother does for a living? She’s a whore, she used to be a masseuse,
"What?" Gideon Jackson was taken aback.
"No wonder Uncle Ginger keeps it so tight!" Lilian Jackson said disdainfully, "Just because her adoptive mother is a whore, Uncle Ginger is always vague about her adoptive parents’ situation, if it weren’t for seeing her with a man at the hospital that day, I would never have thought of this. I’ve already had someone look into it, her adoptive mother’s identity is no secret in Eastern Peak Village, so Mia Ginger, don’t be fooled by her pure and innocent demeanor."
"Are you talking about her?" Gideon Jackson hesitated.
"She’s got some nerve!" Lilian Jackson snorted, "On the first day she went to the Jackson Family, she clashed with Marianne, and yesterday had a fight in the mall, Marianne came back with a wounded face yesterday, nearly making Aunt Williams faint. What can they do? Endure it! Koa slapped Marianne, Aunt Williams doesn’t even dare let the old man know."
"Heh," Gideon Jackson glanced at her, hitting the nail on the head, "Aunt Williams doesn’t dare let the old man know, probably because Marianne is at fault, I still don’t know her temper, easily provoked."
"And Mia Ginger is in the right?" Lilian Jackson glanced at him, "What kind of girl would fight in such a situation, especially with her sister and sister-in-law?"
"..." Gideon Jackson was speechless for a moment.
"She’s totally unworthy of Koa," Lilian Jackson said irritably, "She’s entangled with a punk named Jimmy Cox from Eastern Peak Village. That Cox Family is distantly related to the Myres Family, what kind of good son could they have? Just ask around that area and you’ll know, Mia Ginger is Jimmy Cox’s girlfriend, no one dares to touch her."
