The Second Act 175

Chapter 175 

Chapter 175 

Oneida thought, Take off my clothes?” 

Her eyes widened slightly, and Oneida regarded Jackson with a complex expression

Jackson understood that Oneida was feeling shy

Just the two of us here.His lips barely lifting, he explained with a calm demeanor

Only two people, rightOneida glanced at him meaningfully, But that still includes you, doesn’t it?” 

He’s actually asking me to undress which is unbelievable.Oneida thought

Oneida didn’t consider herself overly sensitive, but Oneida found herself reluctant to strip in front of a man Oneida hardly knew

However, the dampness of her clothes was indeed quite uncomfortable

Oneida pinched the hem of her clothing, trying to wring out the water

Unexpectedly, a sudden gust of cool wind swept by, bringing a chill to the bone, and Oneida couldn’t help but sneeze

Seeing this, Jackson didn’t hesitate. He took hold of Oneida’s wrist and led her to the side

You…” Oneida widened her eyes in surprise and Oneida didn’t expect the man to be so domineering all of a sudden

Take your clothes off,Jackson pressed, his tone brooking no argument. Otherwise, you’ll catch a cold before we can get out.” 

ButOneida’s brows furrowed as if she were about to object

Jackson anticipated her resistance and cut her off in time, I won’t look.” 

Having said this, he turned away, gathering some wood that could be used for burning, and then found a dry patch of ground to light a small fire

Despite appearances that suggested he was pampered and lazy, Jackson’s survival skills were remarkably strong

His hands moved swiftly and adeptly

After completing these tasks, he lifted his gaze to Oneida and said softly, Come over.” 

Oneida instinctively looked at him, the dim light casting shadows across his handsome face

Oneida thought, Knight seems different from the rumors. They say he’s coldblooded and indifferent to womenBut Knight not only saved me, he’s also taking such care of me

When Oneida still made no move, Jackson urged her in a stern voice, I said, I won’t look. Just give me your clothes, and I’ll help dry them.” 

Seeing him acting the perfect gentleman made Oneida think, If I continue to hesitate, it would seem like I’m unfairly judging his honorable intentions.’ 

So, Oneida nodded and stepped forward

At that, Jackson turned around, presenting his back to Oneida

He truly kept his word and did not look at her

Hurry and undress,he prompted

The man’s cool and deep voice floated over hauntingly

Seeing this, Oneida hesitated no more and promptly removed her coat

Oneida placed her clothes by the fire, and again, his voice echoed in her ear. Are you done?” 

His voice was like the resonant notes of a cello, magnetic and utterly pleasing to the ear

For some reason, Oneida suddenly felt her face grow warm

Oneida responded somewhat flusteredly, Yes, I’m done, but don’t turn around yetwait until I say it’s okay.”

4:31 PM 

Chapter 173 

Alright,he replied quite straightforwardly

True to his word, he was indeed honorable” 

Oneida briskly walked to a corner and crouched down

From this angle, even if Jackson turned around, he wouldn’t see her

Now, wearing only a thin tank top, Oneida hugged her shoulders feeling insecure, and said, You can turn now

Upon hearing her, Jackson turned around

He knew Oneida must have found a hiding spot

Such a bashful young girl

He said nothing. Instead, he crouched down, took Oncida’s coat in hand, and began drying it by the fire

Several minutes passed. The oncedrenched fabric was finally beginning to dry

Throughout this time, there was silence from where Oneida was hidden, and Jackson didn’t speak

The air was filled with a quiet stillness

Jackson folded the clothes neatly, lifted his gaze toward the corner, and called out lightly, Your clothes are dry

But there was no answer from Oneida

The air remained silent

A crease formed between Jackson’s eyebrows

He stood up and silently walked toward Oneida’s hiding spot

Around the corner, he found Oneida sitting with her arms wrapped around her knees, her chin resting atop them

Oneida seemed to have fallen asleep

Her eyes were closed tight

Her delicate, smooth skin made her appear fragile and pale

Jackson watched her, and his Adam’s apple unconsciously bobbed

He approached a bit closer

It was then he realized Oneida was shivering

Oneida had fallen asleep, but her arms and shoulders trembled slightly, possibly from the cold

Jackson spread out the clothing he held, ready to drape it over Oneida

Unexpectedly, Oneida reflexively grabbed onto Jackson’s slender fingers

Caught off guard, he was pulled forward

In the next instant, Oneida leaned into him

Oneida wrapped her arms around Jackson like a small kitten seeking refuge, snuggling into his embrace

Oneida still kept her eyes closed

Her whole demeanor was hazy and disoriented

Oneida was cold

Deep down, Oneida desired to be near something warm

Oneida clung to Jackson, wishing Oneida could burrow into his body

Chapter 175 

Jackson stood motionless, allowing her to hold onto him

He could feel her soft skin and her tender form… 

He found himself momentarily paralyzed

After some time, Jackson slowly extended his arms and embraced the girl in front of him

His fingers touched her skin, eliciting a shuddering sensation in his heart

His gaze deepened, and his pupils dilated

It seemed Oneida was dissatisfied and began to unbutton Jackson’s shirt while her eyes remained closed

Startled by her sudden action, Jackson instinctively held down her fidgeting hands

However, Oneida persisted, muttering as Oneida fumbled with his buttons, Coldthis is warmer…” 

Seeing her undo the top two buttons, Jackson suddenly stopped struggling

YouHe sighed with a hint of resignation

No one had ever dared to treat him like this… 

Oneida was the first

After Oneida loosened just three buttons, the white shirt hung slightly open, revealing Jackson’s firmly sculpted chest

Oneida wasted no time pressing her face and neck against it

This was the warmth Oneida sought

This was the comfort Oneida needed

Jackson tightened his embrace, as if bewitched, and couldn’t help holding her closer

The two were entwined like vines, their closeness undeniable

In the serene air

Jackson felt as if he could hear his own heartbeats. A bit faster than usual

For some reason, holding Oneida like this, he actually felt a sense of tranquil contentment

He, who typically disliked physical contact, found himself in such an unexpected moment… 

Time elapsed unknowingly

Eventually, Oneida slowly opened her eyes
