Bab 243: CH 242: Wilted by Obsession

Jackson regarded his wife. 

Her violet eyes fluttered innocently at him. Her lips stretched in a coy smile and dazzled most people that received it. She had always been good at mixing a few lies and a bit of truth. He hadn't mastered spotting the lie but he did excel in noticing whenever she did this.

"And why do you say that?" 

"Because he wants her to move in with him?"
