Chapter 360: A Resounding Slap_1

At this moment, Basil Jaak wished he could turn back time and undo the events of last night. But he was painfully aware that in this world, you could buy any kind of medicine - except for one that could treat regret. Furthermore, deep in his heart he knew that even if he could travel back in time, he'd still end up helping Jessica in her predicament.

"Xenia, hit me, just once. It will make you feel better." Jaak took Xenia's hand and guided it towards his own face for a slap.

Xenia shook her head repeatedly, tenderly touching the reddening mark on Jaak's face, sobbing faintly. "Jaak, I'm heartbroken, so heartbroken it's killing me. Do you know what I'm feeling? When I realized that the woman I saw was Jessica, I wanted nothing more than to slap her across the face, point to her nose and demand to know why she seduced you!"

"But, Jaak, do you know why I didn't do that?" Xenia asked, still looking at Jaak.
