Chapter 22 If Time Could Stop At This Moment
Wearing a white shirt, off-white trousers, and a white suit jacket draped over his wrist, as if he had just come out of some banquet.
His neatly styled black hair seemed slightly tousled by the wind, with a few strands falling on his forehead, partially covering his left eye.
Even so, it didn’t diminish his handsomeness. Instead, it added a touch of carefreeness.
Jackson looked at Alva, his eyes suddenly brightening. However, when he saw the person next to Alva, he furrowed
his brow.
Frank had never met Jackson before, he was surprised to see him.
Before he could ask, Alva said to him, “I’ve arrived home. You may go off now.”
Frank felt a sudden discomfort. “Alva…”
He needed an explanation.
Although they had always been friends, she knew very well about his feelings for her.
He was serious, extremely serious.
Alva knew that the current situation would give him many

thoughts, but it wasn’t appropriate to talk about it now. “I’ll tell you tomorrow.”
From her expression, Frank reluctantly agreed.
Jackson, watching Frank as he left the premises, walked over. “Who is he?”
Frank had been by her side for two years. When she left, he followed her to H City, where they were now.
He had never seen Frank before, but they even came back together.
He couldn’t help but speculate.
Jackson clenched his fists.
He was afraid of hearing an answer he didn’t want to hear.
“He’s my boss and also a friend of mine. We went to meet a client tonight, and I encountered some trouble with a drunkard while on my way back home. He helped me and brought me back,” Alva explained.
Alva and Jackson were also friends, and she had repaid him all the money she owed him a year ago.
She knew his thoughts, but she couldn’t do anything to push him away.
“Are you okay?” Jackson immediately grabbed her shoulder, examining her up and down, quickly noticing the hickey on her neck.
His face darkened. “Who on earth has the gut to do this to

you!”

Over the span of two years, Jackson had grown to become a mature and steady man.
Alva curled her fingers and smiled faintly. “I don’t know either.” Belonging to NôvelDrama.Org.
Watching Alva’s smile, deep in Jackson’s heart he knew she was afraid, yet pretending not to be. This moment, he felt a punch of heartache over Alva’s wound.
He embraced Alva tightly, tightening his arms. “I’m sorry. If I were by your side, you wouldn’t have encountered such a situation.”
A warmth filled Alva’s eyes. Jackson truly cared for her.
In her heart, his two years of companionship felt like a family member.
He was like an older brother to her.
“Have you eaten?” she asked.
Judging by his dishevelled appearance, he must have come directly from somewhere.
“No,” he replied.
He really wanted to say that he wanted to see her. As soon as his concert ended, he seized the opportunity to return to the country without any delay, just to see her a bit earlier.
Jackson didn’t dare to say it. He was afraid that if he did, she would distance herself from him.

Alva opened the door and went inside. “Please have a seat. I’ll prepare something to eat.”
“Okay.”
Jackson placed his suit jacket on the sofa and watched her walk into the kitchen, busying herself by opening the refrigerator.
Alva quickly became worried. There wasn’t much food left in the fridge, so she could only manage to make a bowl of noodles.
She turned around and asked, “Are noodles fine for you? There’s no more food left at home.”
She had been busy during this period and hadn’t had time to go to the market.
“That’s fine for me” Jackson replied.
He walked over.
“Do you need any help?”
He just wanted to be by her side and look at her.
“Nope, you can sit and rest. It’ll be ready soon” she said, and began cooking the noodles.
Jackson poured a glass of water and leaned against the kitchen doorway, watching her.
It has been two years. The smile on her face showed confidence, but he knew there was a scar in her heart that would never heal.

Alva finished cooking the noodles, and both of them sat down to have dinner together. After they were done with their meal and cleaning up. The night was getting late.
Jackson took his suit and looked at her tenderly. “Get some rest early.”
“Okay. Drive safely on your way back.”
“I will.”
After Jackson left. Alva sat on the sofa for a while, she picked up her notebook and started working.
Only work could help her forget some things.
Jackson arrived downstairs and looked up at the fifth-floor balcony of the apartment building, where an orchid was planted.
He got in his car and drove away.
The next day, when Alva arrived at the office, there was already someone sitting inside.
