Chapter 212

As these thoughts crossed her mind, Oneida quickened her pace towards the Rolls–Royce’s door.

“Oneida-” Christopher called out, stepping forward.

However, Victor swiftly blocked his path, his expression cold as he said, “Mr. Faraday, please stay back

The next second. Victor lowered his voice, speaking so only they could hear, “Mr. Bane said if you continue to pester Mrs. Bane, he will take strong measures.”“

Christopher’s eyes widened in shock.

So. Jackson knew everything.

“What measures will he take?” Christopher asked coldly, his eyes darkening.

Victor’s gaze grew stern. “Mr. Faraday, I advise you not to push your luck on this matter. If you’re not afraid, you can try

There was one thing that Victor had slowly come to understand

Maybe Jackson himself hadn’t realized it, but as his most trusted aide, having been by his side for so many years, Victor had long noticed that Oneida was different to Jackson.

In a way, Jackson considered Oneida his possession, constantly keeping an eye on her, not allowing anyone else to cover her For example, this time, when Oneida insisted on returning to Quakersville, Jackson pretended not to care, but in the end, he couldn’t help but send someone to keep an eye on her.

When she went to the police station, Jackson learned about the situation and immediately arranged for Edmund to be well taken care of, preventing him from being mistreated.

But Jackson did not interfere with the investigation.

He said he believed Oneida could handle it.

However, upon learning that Christopher was persistently following Oneida, Jackson’s face turned extremely unpleasant. and he ordered Victor to bring Oneida back immediately.

Jackson’s concern for Oneida was evident,

He

had never been so attentive to any other woman, except for the girl he had been searching for all these years.

Victor thought perhaps it was time for Jackson to fall in love. Clinging to the memories of his youth was painful and lonely.

Unfortunately, Jackson had never been in love, and he probably didn’t realize his feelings for Oneida.

After leaving his words, Victor turned and left.

He got into the driver’s seat, started the engine, and drove the Rolls–Royce away.

Christopher could only stand there, watching the car get further away until it finally disappeared from sight.

Sitting in the car, Oneida felt slightly apprehensi

The last time she and Jackson met, it ended badly.

hey were about to meet again.

Now, they

She couldn’t help but feel a bit at a loss as to what to do

“Mrs. Bane, we’re here. Victor’s cool voice snapped her out of her thoughts.

Oneida nodded absentmindedly and got out of the car.

Walking through the lush manor, she headed straight into the hall.

Unexpectedly, Jackson was already there, waiting for her.

He was still seated in his wheelchair.

His pristine white shirt was spotless, his long legs encased in black trousers, and his chiseled face was bathed in a soft glow, looking pure and beautiful.

For a moment, Oneida felt Jackson was not of this world. He was aloof, noble, and untouchable, and approaching him felt like desecration.

Jackson, Oneida subconsciously called out, her voice hesitant and stuttering..

Jackson raised his eyes to gaze at her. Those deep eyes seemed to gleam with an incredibly profound light.

“Come here.” He uttered the words in a low, deep voice.

Oneida pressed her lips together, hesitating slightly.

She couldn’t quite grasp Jackson’s attitude at the moment.

She wasn’t sure if he was angry, or if they had reconciled.

After a moment of indecision, Oneida finally stepped forward and walked straight towards Jackson.

“Oneida,” Jackson called her name with a serious tone as she approached.

Oneida paused, her expression showing

slight hint of surprise

should

“No matter what, I want you to remember that you are my wife now. You are the woman of me, Jackson, and you keep a distance from other men, he said, his voice cold and detached.

Oneida’s face remained calm.

Jackson had indeed been having someone watch her every move

She suddenly fell silent.

Standing in front of Jackson, she didn’t say a word.

Jackson narrowed his eyes slightly, his slender white fingers curling slightly. He hadn’t expected Oneida to fall silent.

His handsome and chiseled features were suddenly covered with a layer of coldness

Just as he was about to speak, Oneida preemptively spoke. “In what capacity are you saying this, Jackson?”

The pale, beautiful girl curled her lips into a meaningful smile, staring at Jackson as she questioned, “Do you feel embarrassed because of me? Or-

Oneida’s fingertips trembled slightly. Her face was calm, but her heart couldn’t stop racing. “Do you like me, Jackson?” Her tone carried a hint of playfulness, not entirely serious.

But only Oneida knew she was serious.

Taking advantage of tonight’s opportunity, she finally asked the question she had always wanted to ask Jackson.

Jackson’s deep eyes remained unchanged.

He always kept his emotions in check.

Although his face showed no expression, his heart was already in turmoil.

‘Do I like her?‘ he repeated her question in his mind.

To Jackson, Oneida had always been a liability.

In Jackson’s eyes, marriage didn’t necessarily require love.

His parents, a pair of incompatible couple, still got married and had children.

It was precisely because of Yvonne’s tragic fate that he tried his best to treat Oneida well.

He didn’t want Oneida to end up like Yvonne, bound by marriage and deeply hurt by her husband.

At this moment, Oneida stared at him, feeling both disappointed and anxious.

She had expected this.

Considering for so long without speaking probably meant he was embarrassed to say it out loud.

“Jackson, I was just joking. Oneida suddenly grinned, flashing a bright smile.

She laughed happily as if it really was just a joke.

Jackson’s expression finally showed a slight change.

He was somewhat displeased, his brows knitting slightly.

He had been seriously contemplating the question, but she said it was just a joke.

“Jackson, don’t worry. I know what I’m doing. I’m your wife now so I won’t embarrass or bring disgrace to you.” Oneida assured him, a smile still lingering at the corners of her eyes.
