Bab 183: Being Forceful

"Look at me!"

Imryll asked calmly after she took a deep breath, "Tell me, do you like her?" But then added helplessly, "Do you love her?"

Jackson looked at her with a complicated gaze and said, "Yes..."

Imryll's small fists tightened before she relaxed. She removed her hands from his chest and turned away, tears fell from her eyes but she didn't make a sound.

"Imryll..." Jackson called out but was interrupted.

"Seems like..."

"Seems like a lot happened between you two while I was away on a family mission..." Imryll's voice was full of pain.

Jackson approached her and embraced her from behind, "My love for you is more than my love for her..."

"Then if I tell you to leave her, will you leave her?"

"They have my family as hostages."

"What if they didn't?"

"..."

Seeing that there was no answer, a silent laugh escaped from her mouth.

She removed his hands from her waist and approached the door when suddenly she stopped.

Jackson held her arms and didn't let go of it.
