The True Heiress is the Reserved Fiancé's Exclusive Memory-Chapter 452 - 463: You Still Have Me (8)

A face flushed with crimson.

So absorbed in thought, she collided directly with Lilian Jackson, who was coming toward her.

"What’s going on here?" Lilian Jackson steadied her arm, curious, and asked.

"No, nothing." Marianne Jackson smiled oddly. Seeing Lilian’s scrutinizing gaze, feeling uneasy, she blurted out, "I just saw Brother Koa and Mia Ginger kissing over there, in broad daylight. I’m embarrassed for them."

Lilian Jackson: "..."

Seeing she didn’t speak, Marianne Jackson hesitated and said, "If you’re okay, I’ll go in first."

"Mm." Lilian Jackson nodded subconsciously.

She walked a few steps, stood at the bottom of the stairs looking inside, and bit her lip tightly.

Just for a moment, she quickly withdrew her gaze.

She didn’t want to look anymore.

Clearly, the feelings between Koa Jackson and Mia Ginger were intensifying more and more, and now, they’ve even gained Old Master Jackson’s approval.

Emma and Shen Qiao had returned, while Lydia Williams sat there, not daring to say a word.

What should she do?

Lilian Jackson clenched her hand tightly at her side, her face looking terribly unpleasant, frowned, and returned to the hall. As soon as she entered, she saw her father at the staircase corner.

Butler Jackson was surprised for a moment too, then said sternly, "Come outside with me for a moment."

Lilian Jackson pressed her lips together and walked out with him. 𝐟𝕣𝗲𝕖𝕨𝗲𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝗲𝚕.𝗰𝚘𝐦

Butler Jackson scanned around with a raised gaze, frowned, and asked, "With a face looking this bad, are you unwell? If you’re unwell, go rest in your room. We have guests at home, and you show up looking like this with furrowed brows?"

Lilian Jackson looked at him, full of dissatisfaction.

Her father was just like this, prioritizing the Jackson Family in everything, almost willing to serve Old Master Jackson as a beast of burden.

How much did he ever care about his own daughter’s feelings?

Remembering the past, Lilian Jackson suddenly felt discontent, biting her lip and giving him a look, wronged, "You called me out just because my face looks bad? Dad, why don’t you ask me why I look bad?"

Butler Jackson seemed surprised she would retort and question him, hesitated momentarily, then sighed, "I know it’s because of Koa."

"..." Lilian Jackson was momentarily stunned, "You know?"

"She’s my own daughter, how could I not know?" Butler Jackson looked at her, speaking earnestly, "But knowing is knowing, there’s really no chance between you and Koa. If Koa had any slightest interest in you, I’d risk everything and mention it to Old Master Jackson. But that’s not the case; Koa’s heart isn’t with you, nothing will make a difference. It’s best to withdraw your feelings early, before Old Master Jackson notices, so I won’t be put in a difficult position."

"He’s not interested in me?" Lilian Jackson furrowed her brow, muttering to herself, "That’s not it, Dad. He just hasn’t realized yet. We’re too familiar, so he hasn’t thought about love. He just hasn’t realized it yet."

"..." Butler Jackson gave her an odd look and reprimanded, "What’s this about not realizing it? What are you fantasizing about? Koa is twenty-eight, not eight, nor eighteen. Doesn’t he know what he’s doing?"

Lilian Jackson was momentarily speechless, looking at him with grievance, unable to say anything.

"Enough. Now Miss Ginger is even at our home, and given Koa’s personality, this matter is settled. Don’t think about it," Butler Jackson paused in tone, "you’re not young anymore either. I’ll find an opportunity to suggest to Old Master Jackson that you move out and meet Koa less often..."

"I won’t." Lilian Jackson interrupted him abruptly before he could finish.

"..." Butler Jackson glared at her, visibly angered, and said irritably, "This matter is settled."
