Chapter 297 Make Our Heads Cool
Alston’s hostility was too apparent, so Cynthia hastily pulled his hem and glanced at him,
Unexpectedly, Alston not only didn’t say anything to ease the atmosphere but instead
grabbed Cynthia’s hand, took her into his arms possessively, and said to Jakson, “Mr.
Carter, if you don’t meet a girl after your own heart, maybe I can introduce my business
partners’ daughters who reached marriageable age to you.”
Jakson frowned with a gloomy expression. It turned out that Alston attempted to let out
the topic they avoided openly.
“Mr. Smith, I’m afraid you misunderstood. It’s not that I can’t find a girlfriend, but I already
have a girl I like. I just haven’t made her my girlfriend.” Since Alston put the cards on the
table, Jakson would not give in.
Enter title…
Jakson looked at Cynthia as he spoke and smiled. “Cynthia, Mr. Smith hasn’t come back
for three years. Since when did he start working as a matchmaker? Is Smith Group not
busy recently?”
Cynthia was also a little embarrassed and pinched Alston’s waist, but her steel-like
muscles made her hand pain.
She blushed scarlet with anger and smiled at Jakson awkwardly. “Well, maybe because
Alston sees you like Keller and Desmond so much, he is afraid you will feel lonely, so he
wants to introduce a girl to you. Please don’t mind.”
“Of course, I don’t mind.” Jakson looked at Alston’s darkened face and smiled
meaningfully, “When she promises to be my girlfriend and I hold a wedding, I will invite
you, Mr. Smith.”
Invite Mr. Smith to attend his ex-wife’s wedding.
Alston looked into the provocation in his eyes, which made his face even more gloomy.
After Jakson left, Cynthia blamed Alston. “Alston, how could you say that to Keller and
Desmond in front of Jakson? Also, introduce a girl to him? When did you like to be a
matchmaker?” Exclusive content © by Nô(v)el/Dr/ama.Org.
Seeing Cynthia blame him with a tense face, Alston felt extremely aggrieved, and an
inexplicable look was in his eyes. “So what? Are you unhappy that I introduce a girl to
him?”
Alston’s words brought Cynthia up short and made her angry. “When did I get upset
because of this? I don’t have any special relationship with him. Is there any need for me
to be upset? I just said that what you just said was very rude. What do you mean?”
Thinking of Jakson looking at Cynthia with affection, Alston hardly controlled his urge to
gouge out Jakson’s eyes. To Alston, Jakson’s intention of snatching his wife and children
away from him was too evident.
During the three years of his absence, Jakson participated in Cynthia and the children’s
life and gained their acceptance. As soon as Alston thought of this, he couldn’t suppress
his anger when he spoke.
“I don’t like him and his behavior. I hate it. If he likes sons and daughters, he can have
children. Why does he covet other person’s children and wife.”
Cynthia had no choice but said, “Covet? He just likes our two kids and treats them well.
Is there a need to use the word ‘covet’? Also, he said he has already had the girl he
likes. When did he covet me? Isn’t the incident in the box just a
misunderstanding?”
Alston looked into Cynthia’s angry eyes and couldn’t help but think Jakson concealed his
feelings very well today, without any trace. Alston wondered if Cynthia had forgotten the
embarrassing scene last night.
He thought Jakson’s ulterior purpose was evident and didn’t understand why Cynthia
didn’t perceive it and still had a good impression of him..
As Alston was lost in his mind, his eyes turned red, and his face was filled with grievance
and anger. Then he said impulsively, “Cynthia, during these three years of my absence,
is Jakson taking my role to take care of my wife and watch my children
grow? If I hadn’t returned, Jakson would become the host of the Smith family, your
husband, and my children’s father, wouldn’t he?”
“You! What nonsense are you talking about?” Cynthia’s eyes widened, and she looked at
him in disbelief. “Alston, do you. know what you are talking about? I have been waiting
for you for three years and managing the Smith family wholeheartedly. I don’t develop
any relationship exceeding the friendship with Jakson or other men. What qualifies you
to say that about me? What qualifies you to doubt me?”
As Cynthia said, her eyes were a little wet. In the past three years, she didn’t have a
comfortable sleep. Every day, she was afraid someone would plot against the Smith
family and that she would destroy the group. She studied day and night and worked on a
high alert. Besides, she gave up her job in the hospital, even though that was her dream.
She didn’t dare to relax and was afraid she would think of Alston when she was free and
that he would die in some unknown corner. In the past three years, she swallowed
countless bitterness. She didn’t know why she still had to be suspected by
Alston.
Seeing Cynthia’s red eyes and tears streaming down, Alston suddenly realized what he
had said and hurriedly wiped away her
tears.
He said with care and apology, “Cyn… Cynthia, I was wrong. I was really wrong. I was
just… jealous. Yes, I was jealous.”
He bent down his tall body, looked at Cynthia’s face almost pleadingly, and wiped her
tears clumsily. “When I saw the two children like Jakson so much, I was afraid and
jealous. Also, you have such a good attitude toward him. In my dream, you would only
look at me and like me wholeheartedly, but now, someone else appears in your eyes. I’m
afraid…”
He spoke incoherently, his handsome face was filled with panic, and his lips trembled. “I
haven’t participated in your these three years of life. I’m afraid that someone will appear
to take my place.”
Jakson’s almond eyes were red, full of tears. “What about you? I haven’t participated in
your three years of life. Do you know my feelings about when you came back with the
pregnant Gigi? You lost your memory, forgot everything, and forgot our past. You even
let her live at our home. You said you didn’t like her; the child in her womb was not yours.
Whatever… I will believe all you said. But you… You doubt me and Jakson…”
Cynthia couldn’t continue and wiped her tears hard. “I tell you. I haven’t betrayed you in
the past three years and haven’t had any vague relationship with any man. It depends
on you to believe it or not. I think we both need to make our heads cool.”
After speaking, she rushed upstairs without giving Alston a chance to react.
Alston looked at her sad back and clenched his fists tightly. After seeing the gifts brought
by Jackson, a hint of anger flashed in his eyes, and he slammed all of them down.
Although the gift boxes were smashed to pieces, the anger and depression in Alston’s
heart had not diminished. He felt depressed.
Alston had never been a person with a good temper. In the past few years, he was
moody and had a perverse personality. With the growth of age in these years, his temper
had improved a lot, and he was good at hiding his emotions, neither getting angry easily
nor being so impulsive.
After Jakson came to his door today, the anger in his heart was aroused, and he couldn’t
suppress it no matter what. Because of the panic and fear in his heart, he got angry at
Cynthia and said inappropriate words impulsively.
If they didn’t disentangle this matter, they might be emotionally crippled. They knew they
would not like these two people,
but they couldn’t ignore them.
The servants in the living room didn’t dare to say a word because of Alston’s
furiousness. Greg asked them to pack Gigi’s luggage, leaving Joyce to clean up the
things on the floor.
He watched Alston’s veins stand out the back of his hand and stood silently behind him.
Pondering for a while, he said,
“Mr.Smith, I have noticed Mr. Carter’s thoughts in the past three years and know he has
affection for Mrs. Smith.”
The look in Alston’s concentrated, and he looked over suddenly.
Under pressure from Alston, Greg added, “Mrs. Smith accidentally saved Mr. Carter one
night, and after that, he came to the door to express gratitude. They became familiar with
each other since then. But their relationship was nothing more than that, and they never
crossed the line.”
Seeing Alston still frown, Greg thought Alston didn’t believe what he said and continued,
“In the past three years, Mrs. Smith has never had her own rest time. She has been busy
with company affairs. You also know the Smith Group is not a small business. There are
too many things to do. Even you still have to work overtime, not to mention Mrs. Smith,
who has no experience.”
“As long as Mrs. Smith has spare time, she spends time with Keller and Desmond. She
has no time to think about such romantic matters, let alone have any further contact with
Mr. Carter. Mrs. Smith treats Mr. Carter well because he has also helped the Smith
family a lot in the past three years. He also helped Keller and Desmond a lot.”
“Other than that, there is nothing else. Mr. Smith, what you just said went too far.”
Greg’s face was stern. Cynthia worked hard to protect the Smith Group for three years,
but Alston still suspected her, which would be unbearable for anyone, let alone Cynthia,
who loved Alston so much.
After hearing Greg’s words, Alston’s face suddenly turned pale.
