I Bet My CEO Husband Will Regret

Jackson looked at his mobile phone as soon as he climbed into the car. The lights and the shadows from the outside reflected on his face as the car made its way to its destination. His face appeared even colder in the dark instead of appearing much softer.

If you marry a woman you don't even like and are obligated to have sex with her every Wednesday, you can't escape into a business trip to avoid it. Instead, it will be postponed just so you can fulfill your so-called "marital duties."

As his assistant, Gary Smith greatly sympathizes with Jackson's situation.

Back then, his boss would go straight to the bar and drink until dawn after doing his duty to sleep with that woman. After all, having sex with her made Jackson feel sick.

However, he still wanted to visit Gina today. Gary gave it some thought before proceeding to remind Jackson, "Sir, although you and Ms. Bill were not photographed by private investigators today, it's still Wednesday today, after all. Your grandfather will surely be keeping an eye on your whereabouts. He must already know by now that you came to pick up Gina in person. If you go there now, I'm afraid…."

Gary faltered as Jackson opened his eyes, revealing a hint of anger. His face appeared handsome despite such a glum expression.

Gary held back the words he wanted to say and merely ended his reminder with, "It's going to be bad for everyone."

There was a brief pause before the man in the backseat said coldly, "Go back."

Jackson left and returned to the villa, which took Anna by surprise at first, before eventually realizing why he came back.

For the sake of that woman, Jackson was even willing to give up his right to the Will family's inheritance.

Anna wouldn't have even been able to get married to him if his grandfather, Bob, didn't intervene and mentioned Jackson's deceased mother to convince him to marry her.

Jackson loved his mother so much, who Bob hated so much. The latter always watched and waited for her to make a mistake as a reason for him to send her away.

And now, Anna thought that Jackson only came back this time to ask her to visit Bob and intercede for Gina. He was willing to lower himself and accept such unfair treatment for the sake of that woman.

Anna was already tired. She was also quite drowsy and impatient, which was probably because the medicine she took was finally taking effect. Before he even spoke, she said, "I'll go visit Grandpa Bob tomorrow and ask him not to trouble you."

Jackson frowned. After all, he didn't expect her to be so kind as do him a favor. After a few seconds of silence, he asked, "What are you trying to do?"

Anna didn't bother explaining. She curled up under the quilt and dozed off.

Jackson stood at the edge of the bed for quite a while, waiting for an answer. But Anna never replied, which upset him. He then calmly made his way to the guest room.

When Anna woke up the following morning, Jackson had already left.

After breakfast, she went to the Will family home.

The Will family home was a mere villa. Its area wasn't very large as only Jackson's grandparents lived there.

Quite a lovely old couple. Bob's grandfather liked to play chess, while his grandmother, Amy, loved cooking.

Anna accompanied Bob to play a few chess games before proceeding to help Amy with cooking.

She helped take out the newly cooked chips from the pot before draining the oil. Afterward, Anna moved closer so she could chat with Amy.

After hearing what she said, Amy frowned and asked, "What? You want to forgive him?"

"Jackson and Miss Gina were going to get married, after all. If I didn't enter the scene and married him, everything wouldn't have changed this drastically. Both you and Grandpa Bob love me, so you don't want me to be wronged. But if Grandpa keeps scolding him or even pushes Miss Gina away, everyone will only get hurt in the process. It will only push Jackson away from us further." Anna explained.

Amy thought her explanation was quite reasonable and responded, "Alright, then. I'll relay your thoughts to your Grandpa Bob."

"Thank you, grandma," Anna said as she happily transferred the chips to the plate.

The red hue of the ketchup squeezed into the dish was particularly appealing that Anna couldn't help but dip her finger in it to taste.

Amy, who was taking out the pain, saw her and was stunned. "Come on, eat less of those sweet things!" she scolded.

Anna smiled before doing it again to tease Amy.

"You naughty child!" Amy scolded again as she took the ketchup away,

Anna licked her fingers like a kitten.

It was a scene that Jackson had never seen. It was his first time seeing Anna act like this. She seemed lovely as a greedy cat and appeared more pleasant than her usual disposition.

"Grandma," he said.

The kitten who was licking her fingers froze and hid her hands behind her as she heard his voice. 'Why did he come here?' Anna thought.

Jackson stared at her as he made his way to her. Anna wasn't sure what he intended to do and unconsciously stepped back. He held onto her waist as she did so and gently touched the corner of her mouth.

The sensation somehow electrified her.

Jackson—was he insane?
