Chapter 360
Jackson had just walked in and hadn’t seen what had happened airlier.
He timed his arrival perfectly.
“Is it over?” He asked, glancing at Christopher’s departing figure issuming their conversation had concluded.
Oneida lowered her head and nodded slightly.
She didn’t want Jackson to see her slightly swollen face.
“What’s wrong?” Sensing there was something wrong about Oncilla, Jackson stepped closer, concern evident in his eyes.
“Nothing.” Oneida shook her head and then added, “In a few days, I might need to go home. It’s my sister’s birthday soon.”
She was definitely going to Jennifer’s birthday party.
Initially, she had no intention of attending the party.
But because of Tatiana’s slap, she was determined to go.
She had a vengeful nature. If Tatiana slapped her, she would make sure to turn her precious daughter’s birthday party upside down.
Alright, I’ll go with you” Jackson nodded without hesitation.
Hearing this, Oneida was taken aback.
Jackson wanted to go with her?” she wondered,
You–She hesitated. “Maybe it’s better if you don’t go.”
Jackson’s brows furrowed slightly. He placed a hand on Oneida’s shoulder. “Why? I’m your husband, Ida.” Jackson’s deep, intense gaze bore into her, his tone filled with a gentle authority
Oneida pressed her lips together, not saying a word.
She didn’t want Jackson entangled in this mess.
The Chaser family y was a complete mess,
s, apart from her father and brother.
Besides, she wasn’t going there to celebrate,
She was going to ruin the party!
Truth to be told, Oneida didn’t want Jackson to see that violent side of her.
After all, she wanted to maintain a good impression in Jackson’s eyes.
Thinking of this, Oneida softened her tone. “Oh, Jackson, I’m just going to a birthday party. You don’t need to accompany me. Those people aren’t worth your time.”
Jackson listened, the furrow in his brows slowly easing.
Her voice, unusually soft and sweet, almost like she was being coquettish, made Jackson’s heart melt.
He was usually a tough, unemotional person, but Oneida always managed to soften him.

Jackson decided against accompanying Oneida, but he still aske need me
Are you sure you don’t go with you?
Oneida replied firmly. “Really, I don’t need you to
Jackson said nothing more, just staring blankly at Oneida.
Feeling his intense and carnest gaze, Oneida stiffened slightly.
She turned her head, trying to stay calm. “Why are you staring at me?”
Jackson’s lips curved slightly. “I was just thinking, it’s been a while since you talked to me like that, Ida.”
Hearing this, Oneida’s heart inexplicably skipped a beat.
“Not even 1 last night,” Jackson added before she could respond, his voice low and teasing.
Oneida’s face turned bright red, even her cars tinged with a light blush..
Since when did Jackson become so needy?
Oneida’s thoughts couldn’t help but drift to last night.
Though she had been drunk and forgotten most of it, she still had faint impressions of some sensations from last night.
Oneida instinctively shook her head, trying to distract herself. The more she thought about it, the hotter her cheeks became.
Last night- she began, stammering, unsure of what to say.
She felt incredibly shy.
When it came to emotions, Oneida was inexperienced and often flustered.
Suddenly, Jackson pulled Oneida into his arms.
His embrace was filled with that familiar, clean scent, intoxicating her senses.
Oneida’s breath seemed to hitch.
Jackson rested his chin on her head, his gentle voice barely a whisper. “But it’s alright. There will be plenty of opportunities in the future.”
Hearing this, Oneida’s heart felt like it was set ablaze again.
Internally cursing herself for being so easily flustered, she decided she needed to regain some control.
“That’s not necessarily true,” Oneida retorted stubbornly.
“Hm Jackson’s long fingers pressed lightly against the back of her neck, applying gentle pressure.
Oneida felt a tickle and a slight sense of oppression.
“What did you say?” Jackson’s tone was sharp, urging Oneida to reconsider and respond properly.
a cooked shrimp.
By now, Oneida’s face was as red as a co
She bit her lip, deciding not to say anything further, and buried her head into Jackson’s chest.
After a brief embrace, they walked together into the Garrison Mansion.

As they entered the hall, Ongida noticed a bunch of servants coming out of her room, carrying her belongings.
“What are they–7 Oneida’s eyes widenedl with confusion.
Before Jackson could reply. Oneida saw the servants carrying he things into Jackson’s room.
“I told them to move your things. Jackson’s clear voice sounded in her ear.
Oneida turned to look at his handsome profile.
“Otherwise?” Jackson also turned to look at Oneida, meeting her gaze with a smile in his eyes. “Did you still want to live alone
Oneida paused, unsure how to respond. He was really fast.
This meant that from now on, she would share a bed with Jackson every night.
The thought made her heart beat faster, and Oneida felt a sweet warmth spread through her chest.

In the end, Oneida just replied with a simple, obedient “okay, but the corners of her mouth were unknowingly curled into a smile, making her look particularly cute.
Jennifer’s birthday party arrived quickly.
Dressed in a neat black outfit, Oneida took a car alone to Quakersville.
It had been a long time since she last visited, but she had kept in touch with Lucas and Edmund.
The Bane family’s luxury cars were all parked at Quakersville’s entrance. Oneida pushed open the door and stepped out. The villa was brightly lit, with cars coming and going, creating a lively atmosphere.
It turned out Jennifer’s birthday party was quite the event.
It was surprisingly grand.
Wearing black, Oneida looked unassuming and was nearly stopped by the servants at the door.
Fortunately, they remembered Oneida’s face and quickly let her in.
Inside the brightly lit villa, the chandeliers cast luxurious light everywhere, illuminating the elegantly dressed guests.
Oneida glanced around.
