BXBX NOVEL Chapter 128 - Ouch... Be More Gentle
"Jackson, I heard that you have a high IQ but why are you acting stupid? Do you think that she cares about you because she is treating you nicely at the moment?" Carmella shifted closer and whisper into his ears.
"Hell no! A lady like her isn't capable of empathizing or loving anyone. She is only acting so tenderly because she is jealous. She is upset at the fact that you are close to another woman except her so don't you dare delude yourself into thinking that her pretentious act is real. Jasmine Avans is not only the Queen of seduction but also the Queen of all Pretenders. This is a renowned fact so stop acting stupid because she does not deserve your affections," Carmella said before she shifted her gaze to the front. She deliberately ignored him because she was afraid of what his response will be. She continued to ignore him until they got down at Steve's Mansion.
After they reached the sitting room, Jasmine sat beside Jackson on the right while Carmella on the other side.
"Steve get us the first aid box," Jasmine instructed. After Steve left to go and get the first aid box, Jasmine let her eyes wandered around the room.
Do all guys all adore the blue colour. In all the men's houses, I have entered, their sitting room walls are always blue including Steve's sitting. Only Ice Prince sitting room was different. Anyways I am not surprised about his case since he has always been a strange guy.
Jasmine thought as she continues examining the sitting room. Even without asking she could tell that all the decors placed in different places in the room were very expensive. Steve's appearance in the sitting room brought her attention back to the problem at hand.
Carmella on sighting Steve hurried to collect the first aid box from his hand. Her action made Jasmine frowned.
"So childish," Jasmine exclaimed the moment she realized what the lady was up to.
"Let Jasmine tend to my wounds. She is the reason for my injury so it is her responsibility to attend to my injury and not yours," Jackson said in a carefree tone the instant Carmella sat down hugging the first aid box firmly. Carmella turned and glare at Jackson not willing to obey his orders.
"I can see that you have all the time in the world to waste staring at him, but his wound can't wait until you are done with your staring, so hand over the box to me," Jasmine ordered sternly as she stretched her hand to collect the red box which had a white cross symbol on it.
Carmella stares at her outstretched hand for a few seconds before she reluctantly handed the box over to Jasmine.
Jasmine smiled triumphantly when she saw the sour look on her face. At that moment she felt like telling Carmella, "Nobody can win against me? Train harder if you want to win next time".
After Jasmine opened the fully stocked first aid box, she removed the stuff she will need. She removed methylated spirit, cotton wool, ointment and bandage from the box. She moved to attend to his woods afterwards.
While she was cleaning the wound, Jackson did not flinch. The way he acted was as if he was immune to pains.
After cleaning and disinfecting the injuries on his hands, she applied ointment and then bandage the wound. While doing this she did not utter a word to him.
"Ouch... be more gentle," Jackson said just to get her to talk. Even after complaining Jasmine did not still say a word. The furious Carmella who could no longer tolerate how unfairly Jackson was treating her stomped upstairs. Steve ran after her.
"Jasmine, what is wrong? It is rare to see you quiet, are you upset because of the way Carmella acted?" Jackson whose wound has been finished bandaging asked as he focused his attention on her frowning face.
"Yes, I am angry but not just at her but at you," Jasmine blurted out as she raises her gaze and stares back at him too.
"You hardly get upset so tell me what are your reasons for being mad," Jackson asked but he still maintained a bit of coldness in his voice.
"Firstly, I am upset with you for trying to act like superman. I might be a damsel but absolutely not in distress. I am the type who put men in distress so I don't think you really needed to risk your precious hand just to save me," Jasmine stated her first reason.
"If you are angry because of the earlier incident then that cannot be helped then," Jackson replied in a carefree tone.
"Secondly, you said you are in love with someone right so why did you let her flirt with you? Wasn't it obvious that she was trying to seduce you? What would you have done if you had fallen for her tricks?" Jasmine said her pitching rising even higher to show how furious she was.
"Isn't that what you are good at? If I never fell for any of your seducing acts do you think I would fall for hers? Because you never succeeded doesn't mean that your skills are inferior to her...,"
"Don't try to change the topic," Jasmine interrupted him abruptly.
"Even though you didn't get intimate with her to the point of kissing, this is still considered as cheating if truly you have a lady you like. If my man dared to act intimate with any other woman, I will not hesitate to chop off his little thing and for the lady, I would have gouged out the eyes she used in seducing my man. Even her hands would not get spared," Jasmine said firmly.
"If every woman were to be as brutal as you then even you wouldn't have been spared from that brutality, don't you think so?" Jackson blurted out without thinking. He regretted his utterances the moment she threw a murderous glare in his direction.
