Chapter 214
This was not what Oneida had been expecting
She froze and wondered what Jackson was thinking about.
To her surprise, Jackson asked, with his deep eyes focused on her. “Where do you plan to go with this person?”
Oneida was slightly surprised.
Jackson seemed quite interested in this matter,
Oneida hadn’t thought about it yet. She planned to find a random restaurant. So, she said, “I don’t know,”
After all, her main purpose was to come clean with Christopher
Even though Christopher helped Edmund, Oneida didn’t feel grateful to him.
Right now, she just wanted to keep her distance from him.
Staring at her indifferent and casual look, Jackson frowned. A hint of displeasure flickered across his dark eyes. He said. “Aren’t you supposed to be grateful to him? Why do you seem a bit reluctant?” His voice sounded threatening,
Oneida found it more and more strange.
She thought it seemed that Jackson cared about this dinner.
Oneida winked and subconsciously said. “It’s not like that.
Jackson still stared at her, which was a bit frightening.
Oneida felt a bit guilty.
She thought it was necessary to explain it so she said. “I just… don’t know his preferences”
Oneida stopped speaking.
Hearing this, Jackson finally looked away from her contentedly.
“How about some exotic cuisine? Suddenly, Jackson put down his knife and waved his slender and glowing fingers in front of Oneida. “He’ll love it.”
He sounded firm.
Oneida clamped her lips together and stared at Jackson silently.
She felt that something was off about Jackson at this moment.
She thought, ‘He doesn’t even know whom I am going to have dinner with.
“Even if he knows, why is he so sure that Christopher likes exotic cuisine?
Oneida said lightly, “Okay.”
Jackson seemed dissatisfied with her indifferent look so he suddenly frowned, “Is there anything else you want to ask me?”
He intently stared at the girl in front of him.

Chapter 214
He thought, ‘She might never know how adorable she is when she looks jittery,
Actually, if she just tells me she wants to invite him to dinner, I won’t refuse. I don’t have any reason to do so.
“Why is she testing me like this? Is she afraid that I will disagree with it?
Hearing Jackson’s words, Oneida clenched her fists.
She once again felt the oppressive aura of Jackson
If she didn’t ask something, he probably wouldn’t let it go.
“Of course, I have another question. Oneida asked nonchalantly, “Do you have any recommendations?”
Jackson replied, narrowing his eyes, “There is one at Starlight Plaza. It’s not bad.”
A smile spread slowly across Oneida’s face. She said, ‘Alright, I’ll have dinner there.”
Jackson was intensively staring at her and a rare hint of gentleness glistening in his usually cold eyes
However. Oneida didn’t notice it.
In the end, Oneida had dinner with Christopher at the restaurant featured in exotic cuisine in Starlight Plaza, as suggested by Jackson.
Oneida hadn’t been back to school these days because she was just back from the Starr Training Camp so Imperial Star University gave her and the other people who went back from there with her a few days off,
So, she managed to find some time to have dinner with Christopher.
Thinking that she was going to see him very soon, Oneida couldn’t help but frown.
She didn’t dress up. She just put on a simple and comfy outfit before going out.
In the meanwhile, Jackson was in his walk–in closet while Victor waited beside him, looking like he was torn.
Looking down, Jackson asked Victor with an aloof look, “What should I wear?”
“Mr. Bane… um… Victor clenched his fists and looked more torn. This is beyond my expertise. I don’t think I can give you any constructive advice.”
This was the first time Victor had seen Jackson take a dinner so seriously.
He was even serious about his outfit.
After all, this was sort of the first “date” of Oneida and Jackson and also the first time Oneida invited him to dinner.
No wonder Jackson took it so seriously.
“Mr. Bane, perhaps you can find something a bit younger. Victor suddenly said, “A suit seems too formal,”
Jackson’s eyebrows slightly furrowed as he repeated Victor’s words lightly. “Younger?“.
After a moment of silence, he said indifferently. “Do you think I look too old when I am with Oneida?”
Hearing this, Victor immediately felt a cold swe
on his forehead. He quickly said, “Of course, not. Although Mrs. Bane is only 19 years old, you’re only 21. You’re basically peers. Besides, you look younger than you really are. If you just put on a white shirt, I’d believe you were just a high school boy.”
Chapter 211
Jackson felt amused art helpless.
He didn’t say anything. He turned around and continued to focus on finding the most proper outfit.
Eventually, he chose a khaki trench coat.
It was sophisticated and casual.
It was flattering, setting off Jackson’s long leg and making him look strikingly handsome.
Unfortunately, at this moment, only he and Victor could enjoy his stunning look.
He still had to sit in a wheelchair to meet Oneida.
Oneida arrived at the Starlight Plaza before hires.
She had already asked Edmund to send the time and location to Christopher.
Before that, they didn’t contact each other.
Oneida walked into an upscale restaurant, which was decorated in an exotic, elegant, and romantic style.
It was said that the head chef here was a foreigner, who once worked in Michelin–starred restaurants.”
Therefore, the prices here were pretty high.
Oneida regretted it a little.
Even though she had enough money, she thought it was unnecessary to have dinner with Christopher at such an expensive
restaurant.
She thought he didn’t deserve it.
She thought she was stupid when she took Jackson’s advice. Now she couldn’t change it so she had to swallow it.
Suddenly, she heard a familiar voice from behind. “Ida”
It was Christopher’s voice,
Oneida froze, not turning around immediately.
Subconsciously, she clenched her fists tightly. She looked sullen
Although she didn’t respond to him, Christopher wasn’t annoyed. He walked up to her. “Ida, let’s get inside.”
There was a gentle smile on his handsome face. He was genuinely happy.
After all, Oneida was willing to invite him to dinner.
He thought it was a good start.
But Edmund mentioned she just did this to return the favor.
He thought, ‘What favor?
Is it because I saved her from the stick the other day at the Chaser manor?
If that’s the reason, it’s worth it!”

In the meanwhile, Jackson, accompanied by Victor, was entering the restaurant through a special entrance.
