Love Knows No Bounds

Chapter 33

"Kendall."

Jackson had a smile on his handsome face as he approached Kendall and gave her the flowers.

However, she didn't accept the flowers but asked, "Why are you here?"

"I've missed you, so I came to see you." He looked at her affectionately while still smiling.

The scene before Kendall almost made her applaud his acting. He clearly didn't love her, yet he still pretended to be deeply in love with her and had successfully fooled her in her previous life.

After sneering, she asked, "How did you know I was at Parker Corporation? Are you really here for me?" Then, she avoided the flowers and remarked sarcastically, "Mr. Whittle, I think you should give the flowers to the actual person you intended to give them to."

After that, she walked past him and was about to leave.

"Kendall," he called out while reaching to grab her but was slapped in the face.

That slap seemed to have shocked the secretary and stunned Jackson. At the same time, he covered the place where Kendall had hit him and looked at her in shock. When she became distant and cold, he brushed it off as she was angry at him for not visiting after she had slit her wrist, and he thought he could get her back by coaxing her. Then, she would return to the woman who always flattered, fawned over him, and obeyed his every command.

"Kendall," he said. "Why did you slap me?"

Kendall warned with an icy cold expression, "Why wouldn't I slap you? If you ever try to touch me again, I won't hold back anymore."

After that, she stormed off to her father's office, only to run into Kelly coming out from there.

"Kendall." Kelly called softly, "About what happened yesterday… I'm sorry that I was being too impulsive. But, you wouldn't take it to heart, right?"

"What would you do if I said I did take it to heart?"

Kendall's reply stunned Kelly before she sneered and walked past her adoptive sister.

As Kelly turned her head, she saw Kendall had entered Adam's office and was talking coquettishly to their parents while they looked at her with affection. The scene was akin to a happy family of three.

Jealousy instantly filled Kelly's heart as she watched them.

Before, she used to be her parents' lovely daughter who had all their love, but now… They were a real family while she was just a mere adopted daughter! Her biological parents had no ability, so if she returned to them, not only weren't they capable of helping her, they would bring her down as well.

After withdrawing her covetous gaze, she pretended to be considerate and softly closed the door to the office. Just when she was about to leave, she saw Jackson.

He still held the bouquet in one hand while the other covered the area where Kendall had slapped him.

The force of Kendall's slap was so strong that he felt that his cheek was swollen.

"Jackson?" Kelly approached him and asked, "Why are you here?"

She let out a quiet cry when he let down his hand to reveal his swollen cheek and asked, "What happened? Who slapped you?" She quickly realized what had happened and probed before Jackson could reply, "Was it Kendall?"

He smiled sheepishly as he replied, "Kelly, I'm fine. I was too abrupt with my actions, which was why Kendall hit me."

He exchanged looks with her while he spoke, and although she understood the meaning behind his actions, she still felt bothered.

She wasn't even willing to hurt Jackson, but Kendall had the guts to slap him!

As she thought about it, she couldn't help but wonder what had happened to Kendall. Kendall was clearly deeply infatuated with Jackson, which forced Kelly to hide her feelings and let Kendall have him. After Kelly had done so much to get on her adoptive parents' good side, Kendall completely changed after she went to the Colemans.

"I have some ice in my office. Let's go there and put some ice on your swollen cheek." This material belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.

Jackson glanced at the secretary, but Kelly was furious and grabbed his hand to pull him away.

Although he frequented Parker Corporation, it was primarily because of business matters. He had

known her for a long time, so no one would suspect anything if she showed that she cared for him. Moreover, the entire Orapolis knew that Kendall was in love with him and that their two families were considering a joint marriage.

Once they got to Kelly's office, she immediately closed the door and pushed Jackson against the door. Then, she approached to cup his face and kiss him.

At first, he wanted to push her away because he was afraid someone would see them and spoil their plan. Finally, he couldn't hold on any longer and wrapped one hand around her waist while still holding on to the flowers he was reluctant to throw away.

After the kiss, she caressed his swollen cheek and asked, "What did you do to make her slap you?"

Jackson explained aggrievedly, "Actually, I didn't do anything to her. She ignored me, so I wanted to grab her hand, but then she turned around and slapped me. Her movement was so quick that I didn't have the time to react and got slapped right in the face." He continued to mumble, "Why didn't I discover that she was so nimble and, not to mention, very strong? When her slap ended on my cheek, it burned, and I could even feel it swell up."

Resentment appeared in Kelly's eyes as she snarled, "Your family and I aren't even willing to touch a strand of your hair, but she dares to slap you. Just wait until I get my hands on her. Afterward, I'll help you get your justice and make her pay twice as much." Then, she caringly asked, "Does it hurt? Go and sit on the couch. I'll get some ice to make a cold compress for your cheek."

The vice president's office was spacious and brightly lit with a lounge, a small meeting room, and a small pantry.

Jackson quickly tugged her hand and handed her the flowers while questioning, "Kelly, these flowers are for you. I picked them out according to the flowers you like, but… are you willing to accept them?"

Kelly took the flowers, lowered her head, and took a delicate sniff. A beautiful smile appeared on her face as she elaborated, "I do like them, but… I can't take them. I'll help you give them to Kendall later, but I'm keeping a list of everything you've given her so that once our plan has succeeded, you'll have to make it up ten times or a hundred times more to me."

Jackson promised, "Don't worry. I won't ever make you feel wronged because my feelings for you will never change."

After that, he hugged her as she rested her head on his chest, but what she didn't know was that he was currently imagining that Kendall was the one in his arms.

In the past, he hated Kendall when she was obedient to him, but when she started to ignore him, he suddenly realized that she wasn't as hateful as he thought.

Could this be her new way of attracting me? It must be, he thought self-confidently.

"Alright. You take a seat while I get some ice."

Kelly quickly suppressed the feelings in her mind while Jackson hummed in agreement but still hooked her jaw with his fingers and kissed her on her lips.

As he did that, he couldn't help but feel curious about what Kendall's lips tasted like since he had never kissed her.

Jackson secretly thought that when he had the chance, he had to have a taste of Kendall's lips. Maybe she would return to the woman who fawned over him again by doing that because women loved bad boys.
