Jackson could hardly believe his ears.
He pulled over to the side of the road, then turned to look at Claire:
“Claire, what did you just say?”
Claire forcibly held back the urge to let her lips curl up, her tone deliberately casual:
“If you didn’t hear clearly, forget it.”
Jackson took Claire’s hand, his voice unable to hide his excitement:
“No! I heard clearly! I heard you say you agree to try with me!”
“Claire, from today on, you’re my girlfriend!”
“Don’t worry, I’ll treat you really well. I promise you won’t regret today’s decision!”
Claire was infected by Jackson’s joyful mood, and her heart also sprouted some anticipation and excitement.
”
This could truly be the beginning of her new life.
But there were some things she felt she should clarify with Jackson beforehand.
“Jackson, there’s something I don’t want to hide from you.”
“Though I’ve always told you I liked someone else, you didn’t know who it was. Now I…”
Before Claire could finish, Jackson interrupted her.
“Claire, your past is your privacy. You don’t need to tell me specifically. I won’t mind.”
“I only care about our future, and I believe we’ll definitely have a perfect outcome.”
To be honest, hearing Jackson’s words touched Claire deeply.

While with Jackson, she was clearly the more loved one.
Jackson’s presence made Claire realize that she, too, deserved to be loved.
In the past, she had been too obsessed with love. She believed only by loving someone could
she be with them.
Now, having experienced so much, she deeply understood that compatibility was most important.
Love could be cultivated gradually.
But if two people weren’t compatible, no matter how much love existed, it would eventually be worn away.
Being with Jackson, Claire felt an unprecedented relaxation.
This was how a suitable relationship should feel.
Over the next month, Jackson took Claire through the streets and alleys of New York.
They sampled many foods she had never tried before.
Claire felt like she had wasted so many years of her life.
Because the days spent with Jackson were simply too happy. Claire had almost forgotten Zane’s existence.
Until she received a call from a Mr. Gray.
“Claire, your brother is getting/married the day after tomorrow. Are you sure you won’t come back for his wedding?” Mr. Gray asked.
Claire immediately refused “Uncle Gray, I’m quite busy recently, so I won’t be coming back.”
Mr. Gray sounded troubled, “But your brother said he wants to return the locket to you in

person. He’s worried it might get lost in the mail. I think your brother has a point. Can’t you ask your professor for a few days off?”
After a moment of silence, Claire still refused to return home.
“I’m sorry, Uncle Gray, but I really can’t get away right now.”
“My boyfriend’s grandmother is celebrating her birthday the day after tomorrow, and I
promised to attend with him.”
