Chapter 43 Letting go

He would like to take back the bracelet, and I won’t let him do that. Ying Hua gave it to me, why would I give it to him? “Give it to me.” He still reached out his hand, but this time he looked at Lucas who’s asleep, and lowered his voice. “No, this is from Sister Ying, why would I on earth give it to you?” “This item is not good.” He said. “That’s none of your business, I am not giving it to you.” He glared at me, started the car, totally ignoring me. He took me back to Maple Villa, every time I came back, I sensed that I would be kicked out by him in a short time. But actually I was not feeling uncomfortable living in here. Not because of its luxury and comfort, but because my child is here. After settled down Lucas, I went to take a shower. And when I came out, I noticed Jacky holding a bottle of wine and sitting on a chair in my bedroom. “I am about to go to sleep.” I pointed out, “Although this is your house, I am living in this room, then this is my room.” “Give me that bracelet.” He was still thinking of this! He was so shameless, how much does the bracelet worth? Making him so unforgettable and must get it? “No.” I still refused him, “Sister Ying gave it to me, I cannot give it to you.” “This is for Lucas, not for you.” Jacky corrected me coldly. “I am his mother; I will take care of this on behalf of him.” I said it straightforward with no doubt. It’s not that I love expensive jewelries, it’s his attitude that bothered me not to give it back to him. “I am also Lucas’ father, if there should be someone taken care of it, it should be me.” It was originally a fight over the bracelet, but when we started to talk about father and mother, the atmosphere suddenly became ambiguous. “Give it to me.” “No.” “Give it to me or not?” “Not in a million years.” This conversation was like an elder talking to a child, which makes Jacky Hua upset. He raised his head and drank some wine, pushed his body near me. I didn't scare of him a bit, and looked straight at him in the eye. I just don't want to give it back to him. What he gave to me and Lucas, he could take them back any time he wants. But it was for Lucas, and gave by other people, he had no rights to take it away. “Do you have any idea whom this bracelet belonged to?” Jacky asked coldly. “Lucas’.” I answered with no doubt. Jacky tilted his head, looked helpless and contempt, “You are just so stupid, I am talking about the former owner.” “Then that’s Sister Ying.” I answered. He shook his head, “The one before her.” This time I shook my head and said, “I don't know and I don't want to know.” “You still want to keep this without knowing that?” He said this with anger. “Yeah, I will keep it without knowing who that is.” I answered that firmly. He reached out to my bag on the desk, he knew the bracelet was in it. And I didn't bother to grab that against him, I knew that I would lose. “So you only know how to bully women. A man like you to grab things from women, shameless!” His mouth twitched a little and stopped his hand, smashed my bag on the bed fiercely, snorted coldly, turned and walked out. He tried to drop the door with big sound, but he thought about the sleeping child and withdrew his strength. Lucas was sleeping in the next room; he was worried to woke him up if the shutting door was too loud. I was relived and felt a little happy to make him lose for once. Then I noticed the bottle of wine he left on the table and drank some before went to sleep. Next morning when we had breakfast, Lucas did not sleep well, and kept telling me that he did not want to go to school. But Jacky didn't agree, he said going to school is like adults going to work, it is not a choice to make. And Lucas agreed happily when Jacky agreed to take him to school. Not long after they left, I received a call from company for interview. I hurried to go there and been refused on the spot once they know I didn't went to universities. This was predictable so that I didn't feel much frustrated. And I went to Hai City talent center for a walk. Still no job was appropriate for me. After a long walk, I noticed that I was not far from Lucas’ school, and soon it’s time for his after school. I decided to go there and take him home. Not long after I arrived to the school, the driver who picked him home was also here, we waited him and went back to Maple Villa together. When I went on the second floor, I felt something unusual. And then I noticed, the locked door between the third and the second floor was gone. It was not unlocked; the whole door had been removed. There were still visible signs of demolition on the wall that had not yet been repaired. I went to ask Zhen what’s going on, she said Jacky asked someone to demolish it, and the old door had been removed. Somehow, I genuinely felt happy. It was just a door been removed, but it seemed that the wall in my heart that always made me uncomfortable was also been removed. Now that the door had been removed, it was equivalent to cancel the restricted area on the third floor, right? So people could walk there freely. My curiosity has always been terribly strong. I went up the corridor with almost no hesitation. There was still something in the room but all been packed up, it looked like the owner was about to move out. I couldn't help but wondering, was Jacky about to let go? Was it because he was disappointed when seeing Nan Lin’ performance splashing her own coffee, then let go? Or was it because when something been in his heart for so long that tiredness made him to let go? I was not ecstatic, but I did feel relieved. I did not stay on the third floor for too long, and quickly went downstairs. I told myself secretly, no matter where Jacky going to move those stuff, I would not touch it ever again. No matter what Nan Lin looks like now, if she did take care of Jacky for two years, then Jacky had feeling for her is just of human nature. Some beautiful things that belonged to others, did not need to be erased by jealousy, and cannot be erased. Nothing happened overnight, I continued to submit resumes online, I would not give up till I find a suitable job for myself. I was a little sleepy at noon and took a short nap, but was suddenly awakened by a scream in my sleep, “Oh no, it’s on fire!” I stood up and rushed outside the door, and I saw Zhen. We both rushed too hard and nearly bumped into each other. “Ma’am, please come with me and hide for a while. The third floor’s on fire with unknown reasons. We have called the police, please hide with me first, be careful, don't hurt yourself!” I responded and ran downstairs with her. The smoke on third floor was too thick, I thought that this was not good. The third floor contained Jacky’s private collection, those items are very important to him. Why was that he demolished the door yesterday, and it caught fire today?
