Chapter 275
Now, the girl in front of him was Oneida.
This time, he thought he wouldn’t miss out again.
After the two hooked their pinkies, they both slowly withdrew their hands.
“Jackson, why did you suddenly ask me out?” Oneida’s heart was still pounding uneasily, her eyes fixed intently on Jackson in front of her, as if trying to sound him out.
Jackson didn’t say anything at first, just pursed his thin lips and looked back at her with deep, thoughtful eyes.
After a moment, he said meaningfully, “Fiona and the others asked you out in my name before.”
His eyebrows arched slightly as if finding it amusing. “So, you’re really eager to go out with me, huh?
“You foolishly went, and almost…”
Speaking of this, the smile in Jackson’s eyes disappeared. He said seriously, “Since you wanted it so much, I will grant your wish.”
With a “boom.” Oneida felt her face instantly flush red.
Even her ears became uncontrollably hot.
She tightly clenched her fingers, not knowing how to react for a moment.
She suddenly felt that Jackson had become a little flirty.
Clearly, he was not used to being like this.
“Ahem…” Oneida gave a light, awkward cough. Feeling somewhat uneasy, she pushed Jackson into the bedroom and then pursed her lips. “Jackson, it’s getting late. I should head back now.
“Okay,” Jackson nodded to her.
After Oneida left, Jackson stayed alone in the bedroom.
Victor walked in shortly after.
“Mr. Bane, have you told it to Mrs. Bane?” His eyes gleamed with a teasing smile, and he asked in a relaxed tone.
Jackson nodded slightly. “Yes.”
Victor smiled and said, “As expected, you’re quite a doer, Mr. Bane.
That night, on the terrace, Victor urged Jackson to express his love for Oneida as soon as possible.
But the way of expressing his feelings couldn’t be too casual, and it had to have a sense of ceremony.
Victor suggested it would be best to invite her out alone, give her a gift, and then confess his love for her.
Only then would it show sincerity.
He didn’t expect Jackson to take action so soon.
Victor sighed in his heart.

“Mr. Bane, I have faith in you. You’re sure to succeed in one go, e grinned confidently.
The next day. Oneida was still somewhat absent–minded during her classes at school.
Her mind kept replaying what Jackson had said the previous night.
Every word, lingering.
She suddenly wished time would pass quickly and the weekend would come sooner.
During the break, a few classmates nearby were loudly gossiping
Although this was Starlight Class, the geniuses and clites had just as strong a penchant for gossip as students in Regular Class.
They were talking about someone Oneida knew–Yuliana.
It was said that Yuliana suffered from severe depression and had not come to school for a long time. Her family had also faced significant upheaval, with her brother’s company on the brink of bankruptcy.
Oneida showed no expression upon hearing this news.
Everything was as she had expected.
Yuliana hadn’t dropped out but couldn’t come to school due to depression, which still served Oneida’s purpose.

Soon, the day Oneida and Jackson had agreed upon arrived.
They had agreed to leave separately and meet at Rainbowia Park in the evening.
Just like a real date.
Oneida dressed up carefully as she did last time.
She wasn’t someone who liked dressing up, but for Jackson, she had taken the time to dress up twice.
Last time, it was a deceit and a trap.
This time, it was a real date.
Just thinking about this filled Oneida’s heart with immense sweetness.
However, today she didn’t choose to wear a dress. Instead, she wore a pair of jeans paired with a beautiful and delicate blouse.
In the mirror, Oneida looked pure and beautiful, simple and clean.
As the time approached, she hurried out and had the driver take her to the vicinity of Rainbowia Park.
This was her first real date with Jackson.
She valued it greatly and felt a bit excited.
When she got out of the car, it was getting dark. The city lights were beginning to shine, and the neon lights were dazzling. In front of her was a scene of colorful splendor.

Oneida walked step by step towards the park.
She and Jackson had agreed to meet under the first large camphor tree in the park.
Oncida could not help but quicken her pace.
Unexpectedly, at that moment, the sound of a child’s crying souded in her ear.
“Daddy… Mommy…” The little boy sobbed in the crowd, tears streaming down his face.
He was holding a colorful balloon in his hand, and his delicate face was covered with sparkling tears.
His little head was turning in all directions, seemingly searching for something.
It appeared to be a child who had gotten separated from his parents.
Perhaps because he was crying so heartbreakingly, many passersby cast looks of concern and sympathy towards him.
However, no one stepped forward to ask or help him.
Everyone remained watching.
Seeing this, Oneida couldn’t help but stop.
Her indifferent gaze casually fell on the crying little boy.
It wasn’t out of sympathy.
She just found him a bit strange.
The little boy did indeed look pitiful, but there was an odd feeling about him.
Oneida squinted her eyes, a hint of coldness flashing in her gaze.
Just then, the little boy’s eyes lit up, and he ran straight toward Oneida.
“Mommy!” he called out softly, his sobbing voice particularly obvious.
In an instant, the boy ran up to Oneida and threw himself into her arms.
“Mommy!” he called out again.
At this time, everyone’s eyes were on Oneida.
They were somewhat surprised.
It turned out that the little boy’s mother was so young and beautiful.
Oneida, however, clenched her fingers.
‘Wait!
Something’s not right! There must be something odd going on.
“The boy looked about seven years old and wouldn’t naturally mistake his mother.
‘Yet, he is calling me mommy, Oneida thought.
Oneida’s eyes darkened, and she immediately reached out and pushed the boy forward.

“Bang!” The little boy was caught off guard and fell to the ground
His eyes widened in disbelief.
Then he pouted and cried, “Mom, why don’t you want me?”
Onlookers couldn’t help but feel heartbroken at the sight.
‘How could a mother act like this?

It’s one thing to not keep an eye on your child in the park, but it’s another when the child comes back on his own and then pushes him to the ground, they complained in their heart.
For a moment, the audience looked at Oneida with puzzlement and anger.
“How could you treat your child like this?” someone spoke up, accusing Oneida harshly.
“Exactly. Do you just bring a child into the world and then dump him?” another echoed,
“How could you do that flow can you push your child like that?” a person in the crowd rebuked.
In no time, many passers–by gathered around.
They angrily chastised Oneida, and the situation became chaotic for a while.
