“Okay, Mom. Elena immediately went to the kitchen to take out the cake.
The two–layer cake was exquisitely made.
Sarah praised, “Jackson, Elena worked hard all afternoon to make such a beautiful cake for you. Come on. You cut it.”
“No. I don’t like sweets.” Jackson was not in the mood at all.
“Jackson. I want to eat it,” said Sarah.
“Okay. I’ll cut it for you. Jackson took the knife from Elena’s hand.
Elena wanted to cut the cake with Jackson. Sensing the alienation around Jackson, she could only say cooperatively, “Jackson, this is a plate. Cut the cake for Mom first.”
Jackson cut a piece of cake and placed it on the plate.
Elena handed the cake to Sarah filially. “Mom, have some cake.”
Elena was upset. Wasn’t she good to him? Wasn’t she considerate and gentle? Wasn’t she beautiful and outstanding? Didn’t she help him show filial piety to his mother?
Why couldn’t he look her in the eye?
She gave her love to him and took good care of him. Why couldn’t she receive any return from him?
Jackson asked Elena coldly three years ago, “You want to marry me?”
She said yes.
“Fine,” Jackson said. “We’ll get married in three years. I’ll be busy with my work for the next three years.
Elena agreed happily.
Jackson looked at her coldly and said, “Don’t be happy. I’ll never love you.”
Elena knew that Jackson’s heart was filled with Vanessa at that time.
Jackson hated Vanessa for betraying him. So he accepted his family’s arrangement for his marriage in a disheartened
manner.
Elena thought she could use the time to drive Vanessa out of Jackson’s heart bit by bit.
Elena said to Jackson with a smile, “It’s okay. I will love you with all my heart.”
Hence, they announced their relationship three years ago and even got engaged.
The Foster family and the Jones family also joined forces and developed many projects together.
However, after three years, Jackson did not love her, detested her, despised her, and refused to communicate with her.
Occasionally, he would bring her to banquets to do some superficial work.
Jackson used to pretend in front of his mother. However, was he too lazy to even do it today?
The tears welled up in Elena’s eyes. She held another plate and waited for Jackson to cut her a piece of cake.
After cutting a piece of cake for Sarah, Jackson put down the knife in his hand and said, “Mom, I’m a little tired. I’ll go back to my room to rest.
“Jackson, it’s your birthday today. Eat some cake,” Sarah advised him.
“Mom, you go ahead and eat. I can’t eat sweets. I’ve been too tired from working on the project for the past few days. I’ll go upstairs and rest, Jackson said.
“Okay. Have a good rest. Elena, go and help Jackson run a bath and make the bed,” Sarah instructed.
“Okay, Mom.” Elena understood and immediately responded. Then, she rushed upstairs before Jackson.
Jackson frowned unhappily and walked upstairs.
He felt the temperature at home was a little high today. He was not even wearing a coat, and it was still hot.
Back in his room, Elena was running water in the bathroom.
“Get out of here,” Jackson said coldly.
They had been sleeping separately ever since they got married.

Now that his mother was here, he didn’t want her to worry, so he and Elena had agreed to share a room. However, he had been sleeping on the sofa in the cloakroom of the master bedroom for the past few nights.
“Jackson, I’ll help you fill the tub. You can take a bath Elena was considerate and gentle,
Actually, she just wanted to stall for time until the medicine took effect on Jackson.
“I told you to get out,” Jackson said irritably.
“Jackson… Elena bit her lower lip and looked at Jackson.
“Get out.” Jackson felt his mouth dry up and became even more impatient.
Jackson… Elena saw Jackson’s eyes were slightly red, and his condition was not good. Elena knew the medicine had worked. She said. Tll get your pajamas for you.”
“No.” Jackson rejected her coldly.
Elena bit her lower lip again and went to get his pajamas.
Jackson felt hot all over, especially with the uncontrollable desire.
He narrowed his eyes. Did Elena add something to his food?
Elena came over with a sleeping robe after a while. ·
Jackson grabbed her neck with his hand.
“Ah…” Elena shouted, but she couldn’t speak a word.
Because Jackson used too much strength, Elena subconsciously reached out to pull his hands, and the sleeping robe in her hand fell to the ground.
Jackson’s hand tightened, and Elena’s face turned red. The feeling of suffocation made her panic. She immediately pulled his hands and patted them…
Seeing Elena was about to faint from suffocation, Jackson swung his hand.
Elena crashed into the wall and fell to the ground.
She clutched her neck and gulped for air.
With tears in her eyes, she looked up at Jackson. Jackson, I knew you don’t love me, but I’m still your wife. You can’t vent your anger on me when something doesn’t go your way!”
She knew Jackson couldn’t get that bitch Vanessa out of his mind.
It must have been the news of Vanessa’s official wedding announcement yesterday that triggered him.
“What did you add to my food?” Jackson stared at Elena with bloodshot eyes.
“What?” Elena looked at Jackson in shock.
Jackson narrowed his eyes and watched Elena closely.
It wasn’t her?
Jackson thought of the chicken soup and red wine his mother had scooped for him.
He narrowed his eyes again.
He knew that his mother had always wanted a grandchild.
“What are you talking about, Jackson?” asked Elena, who calmly met Jackson’s gaze.
Even if his foof was added something, it was added by her mother–in–law. What did it have to do with her?
“Get out!” Jackson scolded.
“But Mom lives here, Jackson. She would be worried if she knew we were separated,” said Elena, who knew Jackson was dutiful toward his mother and quickly used the excuse.
Jackson sneered.
He stepped on the bathrobe and walked out.
Jackson, where are you going?” asked Elena, who immediately got up and chased after him.
Jackson walked out without looking back.
How could Elena accept this? She immediately rushed out from behind and hugged Jackson’s waist.

She pressed her body against his and rubbed her hands over his chest.
Elena had locked the door when she helped him get his bathrobe.
Now that the effects of the medicine had kicked in, they would definitely be on fire if she continued to stick close to him.
Jackson pulled Elena’s hands.
Elena quickly removed her hands and hugged Jackson even tighter. She even tiptoed and whispered into his ear, “Mmm….
Mmm…
Jackson’s breathing quickened. He gritted his teeth and pushed Elena away.
Elena fell to the ground again. When she saw Jackson open the door, she was angry and anxious. “Jackson…”
It was not easy for Jackson to fall for it. If he went out, wouldn’t it be a waste of effort?
She chased after him again.
Jackson had gone downstairs.
“Jackson, why did you come downstairs?” Sarah sat on the sofa in the living room and asked.
“Mom, the client asked me to discuss a project at the last minute. I’m going out for a while. Jackson found an excuse.
“Jackson, why don’t you reschedule? It’s your birthday today!” Sarah immediately said.
“Mom, the client is important. I’m going Jackson walked towards the door.
“Ouch… Sarah suddenly shouted, then she clutched her chest tightly.
“Mom, what’s wrong?” Jackson saw his mother clutching her chest and frowned in worry.
