The CEO’s Ex-Wife Can’t Escape

To Love You Again, My Husband

Chapter 82: One Attempt Doesn’t Guarantee Success Jackson’s POV

The last time I had a conversation with Airina’s father, he advised that I don’t dare to ask for another chance. That time I was indecisive and was only thinking about how to have her and how easy it would take me to take her to the bedroom. Of course, I doubted if I would ever achieve that kind of goal.

I came with Airina thinking that it wouldn’t be easy to persuade her father. I am aware that it would take a longer time, but I don’t mind. Before I ran the company, I had to study it from childhood to prevent my parents from getting disappointed and to make sure that I posed a threat to everyone.

I am not foreign when it comes to there being a time for everything but if it doesn’t happen, it only means that the approach I did wasn’t effective, or it was that it wasn’t meant for me.

I supported her father’s arms, but he dodged away so I had to lift my hands and didn’t try to attempt otherwise it may affect his decision-making.

“I have a hunch that you didn’t come here merely to know if I was doing well and using the cane you gave. Anyway, why don’t you leave now that you have seen I am fine?”

I licked my lower lip with a sigh.

“I know that risking another chance is affected due the past occurrences. However, I want to make sure I stand a chance now that Airina and I got together.”

He faced me with a serious expression on his face. “Hah, you got to be kidding me. You and my daughter are in a relationship?”

I nodded my head, “Yes, just recently. I’ve already told my parents about it and you two have similar reactions.”

He lowered his gaze down to my hand which I then looked away. I feel like it’s quite not normal to gaze right into his eyes.

“Truly, I know that it will be hard to convince you. Actually, I also am skeptical if I could do that to you considering that you have given me an opportunity before, but I just had to disappoint you and even divorced Airina,” I nodded my head, “If I were in your position, I probably would have expressed similarly.”Original from NôvelDrama.Org.

“So, what made you think that I will bless you with Airina?,” he glanced towards where Airina headed into, “I don’t want her to have the same experience as me. Jackson, she loved you then and to repent from my lack of showering her with love, I blessed her marriage with you. Back then I thought you would take her seriously. Feelings will develop over time but if you really didn’t get to like her, you didn’t have to hurt her.”

“What I did was wrong. I did Airina wrong, I was undeserving of her. But now, I want to prove that I could treat her well. I want to live with her, I want to be with her, Uncle.”

He paused for a minute; his eyes were squinted at me. He must be discerning if I was telling the truth. No offense, I only felt now that being observed by someone like this honestly makes me insecure. I held my breath, putting on a brave face despite my nervous hands and emotions.

I resumed with a light smile on my face. “She likes to tell me stories about her childhood. That her family was such a happy and harmonious one. In addition to that, she likes to go to the amusement park and play with balloons. She even presented me pictures of her which she looked so adorable.”

I released a giggle being reminded of how squishy her cheeks were, adding that her smile was so big, her hands were cutely small. Not to mention her eyes were shaped so pretty as if wanting to look cute. I love her.

“You know, Uncle. When I saw those pictures of her, I wanted to meet the young her and ask if she was having fun, I also wanted to hug her. I finally figured out that you also want to protect that cute child, but that cute child has her mind and actions now. In any way, I didn’t force her to answer me, but I admit that I was persistent.”

He looked at me, distinguishing my intentions. Unlike earlier when I was nervous, I am much calmer right now. Telling how I see her; I am very much confident that I could persuade him.

“I know, now leave.”

But of course, one attempt wouldn’t guarantee the success I am aiming for.
