The Ultimate Husband (Darryl and Lily Lyndon) novel Chapter 78

Read The Ultimate Husband [by Skykissing wolf] Chapter 78 – As she watched the car disappear in sight, Lily frowned and went into the house.

At Darby Seaview Mansion.

Jackson woke up in the bedroom. Confused, he opened his eyes with a hangover. He could not remember how much he actually drank at his wedding. But he seemed content. After running a two-year love marathon with Rebecca, they finally got married, and what further pleased him was that even Darryl, whom he had not met for years, showed up at his wedding. With that, a warm smile appeared on his face, as he stood up and walked out of the bedroom.

“Rebecca?”

He called out in the living hall, with no response, he felt something bad was about to happen.

He saw the door of the guest room was opened and rushed over swiftly. When he was by the door, he felt as if he was struck by lightning; a shiver trembled over his body vigorously, as he saw something he would never forget for the rest of his life.

His newlywed bride, lying on the bed. “Ah!”

Jackson roared with anger, his eyes turned bloodshot red instantly. Despicable! This was the most despicable moment any man could ever imagine.

“No matter who you’re, I swear to g*d, I’ll k**l you.” Jackson tightened his fists, his nails dug deep in his flesh. Like a madman, he looked around for evidence. Unfortunately, he bought the mansion recently and had not yet installed cameras.

He looked around, with no luck, he returned to the room. As he was helping Rebecca to put back her clothes, she woke.

“Darling,” she hugged Jackson, seeing him.

“You’re finally up,” Jackson forced a smile, answered her warmly.

“Unum,” she answered, as she felt a strange feeling in her body, she scowled gently, “You naughty —” she did not finish her sentence due to her embarrassment.

At the moment, Rebecca thought it was Jackson who did it. Before they got married, there were instances when Jackson was not able to hold it anymore, but they were always stopped by Rebecca. She insisted on giving him the best of her on the wedding night, Jackson could not convince her so he waited. So when Rebecca thought it was Jackson who did it, she was not angry but somewhat pleased. Yet, Jackson was filled with guilt and bitterness.

“Jackson, are you alright?” Rebecca frowned.

Jackson smiled and shook his head, “I’m fine, just the hangover,” he answered with his eyes avoiding contact with Rebecca.

The more Jackson dodged her questioning, the more suspicious she grew. Suddenly, her gaze fell on the eight-diagram mirror, and she startled in shock.

Jackson, too, startled. He followed her gaze, and stopped short. An eight-diagram mirror was placed by the bed, and the window beside the bed was opened…

“So…it wasn’t you?” After a few seconds of d**d silence, Rebecca asked dubiously. If it was her husband, why would the window be opened? She was completely naked; someone might have seen it from the outside. Also, if it was really her husband, what was the mirror doing there? As Darryl said, the eight -diagram mirror could not be hung in this mansion.

Jackson took a deep breath, feeling the pain of the stab. Rebecca trembled, as she bit her lips and smashed her head into the wall in front of her.

“Rebecca, don’t…” Jackson was caught off guard, he quickly pulled her and hugged her tight. With a heartbroken but unwavering tone, he promised, “I assure you, I’ll find out who did it and make him pay.”

Rebecca remained speechless but broke into loud sobbing.

As Jackson comforted her, a scary assumption came into his mind.

Could it be Darryl?

’No, no way! Darryl would never do this! But… if it wasn’t him, why is the eight-diagram mirror beside the bed? I remembered putting the mirror back into the storage. During the day, Darryl was the one sharing his Feng Shui theories, he was the only one who was interested in this eight-diagram mirror. If not him, who else could it be? Abby already fainted because of the mirror, and now Rebecca as well. It must’ve been caused by this mirror! But why… why would Darryl do such a thing to me?”

Snapping out from his thoughts, he asked, “ Rebecca, could you recall anything when… when this happened?” Jackson asked, holding his fists tight. He was outrageously uncomfortable asking his wife to recall the strange man,

Rebecca bit her lips, and said softly, “All I remember was, the man…kissed me. I felt a sharp pain at first, then…”
