When I got home, it was dark.
I couldn't help hugging my legs and crying.
After an unknown period of time, the door opened. I looked up at Jack.
He could see all the grievances in my eyes.
His face instantly turned pale.
He quickly walked up to me and picked me up. "Jessica?"
I couldn't control myself anymore. I hugged his neck and burst into tears.
He didn't ask anything. He just patted my back gently to calm me down.
When I finally stopped crying, he held my hand and stood up. "Are you hungry?"
My eyes were swollen from crying. I was ugly. I avoided his gaze and nodded.
"You're still very beautiful." Jack immediately saw through what I was thinking and held my face with a gentle smile.
Then, he led me into the kitchen.
I helped him. For the first time, I felt that doing housework was full of fun.
Jack made a delicious meal. I sat down with him for dinner and then slowly told him what had happened.
I was already very calm as I spoke.
