Chapter 118: Delightful
Beautiful.
Jack was truly the most beautiful man Fil had ever laid her eyes on. Be it with his eyes open or closed, be it with fire blazing in his eyes or playfulness swirling in them, he was mesmerizing. His laughter and every single tone of his voice were like music to her ear.
He was a delightful existence.
And this delightful sight had been Fil’s view every waking day. His face was even the last thing she would usually see in the night.
’This is bad,’ Fil told herself, hugging the pillow while keeping her eyes on the sleeping Jackson. ’Don’t... entertain the thought.’
Fil pressed her lips into a thin line, watching how the soft glow of the morning shone upon his beautiful face. For some reason, this morning was too warm and cozy.
’It doesn’t mean he makes time to take my family on a vacation. It should mean the entire world,’ she told herself, trying to rationalize something that was already clearly rationalized. ’He’s doing this because he liked them, and not because of me.’
But then again, how many times did Vincent, her longtime boyfriend and fiance, take time to bond with her family?
According to her memories, Vincent never went out of his way to bond with them. He never even gave Elijah the time of the day. Not that Vincent hadn’t met them in the past. He would come by in her place before, but with her. It wasn’t like Vincent was required to take care of her family too, but it would’ve been nice if he had done what Jackson was doing without a word.
