Chapter 128 - Someone To Share Your Burden With.

Meanwhile, Jackie and Elizabeth were on their way home. They stop over a coffee shop on their way for a refreshing take away ice coffee.

It surprised both of them when Jackie's phone suddenly rang.

Jackie happily answered the call beaming such delight, "Big Brother..."

It pleased the man hearing his sister's sweet voice as he replied, "Are you alright? I did what you asked me to do. Don't worry... I didn't inform big brother or else they'll be out of our sight already."

"Thank you... Me and Lizzy are on our way home already." She replied as she put the call on loudspeaker.

"Ah- that's good..."

Hearing the man's voice echoed inside the car surprised Elizabeth.

"Big Brother, how are you? Thank you for your present..." She spoke aloud in glee.

"Lizzy, no worries. You're like my little sister too. That's why, if someone dares to bully you do tell me. We are always here for you. Anyway, you ladies take care I still have a meeting to attend to." He said as he ended the call.

Jackie quickly puts her phone away and averted her gaze outside. She was annoyed by the fact they are still too far away from home and currently exiting the highway, which means it's impossible for her to jump out since there are too many cars.

"Jackie, what have you done?" Elizabeth asked in such a serious but calm tone.

"It's not my fault, it's the b*tch fault," Jackie answered as she faces Elizabeth irritatedly of what happened earlier.

Elizabeth speeds up as she looked for a spot to park the car, she then faces Jackie and asked. "Tell me what did you do?"

"I asked Big Brother to punish the b*tch, she dares bully you again and right in front of me," Jackie answered bluntly.

"You what?"

Elizabeth was completely shocked as her complexion paled, "You do know I'm trying to blend in with everyone and am hiding my true identity."

"Don't worry about that... I used my name, not yours. I ain't that stupid to just reveal who you are. Of course, I planned everything, I mean brother planned everything so well." Jackie smiled pleased with the result.

"Do tell me, what happened?" Elizabeth directly asked could no longer wait and dillydally and wish to know everything.

Jackie explained everything to Elizabeth which brought such a smile on her face after hearing Jackie's explanation. She did not expect she actually thought of everything well.

"I told you, I sued them for hurting me, not you," Jackie said.

"Your brother is indeed smart, unlike you." Elizabeth smiled as she started the engine again and drove off.

Seeing Elizabeth smiled, put Jackie at ease. Which means she no longer needed to worry about the girl. For she normally get's upset about stuff like this so easily. 

Jackie continued to be busy on her phone whilst Elizabeth focus on the road.

[Jackie: Uncle, don't worry... I asked Big Brother to handle it. She was mad at first, but I explained to her and she's now fine. We are on our way home already.]

[Uncle Knightley: Jackie, I'm sorry to trouble you.]

[Jackie: Uncle, don't worry. Lizzy, is like a sister to me. Even though we aren't related by blood, even big brother loves and cares for her so much. Rest assured, everything will be fine.]

[Uncle Knightley: Thank you. You both take care, I'll contact your brother and inquire about what he did.]

When Jackie put her phone away, she realized they have already arrived at the community gate. It was not long when they arrived at the main residence.

"Jackie, what do you want to eat for dinner?" Elizabeth asked, as she got down the car and unloaded the car with the help of the servants.

"Babes, let's have pizza. I kind of miss eating take away. Remember when we were in University..." Jackie said as she helped grab the stuff from her.

"Sure, you want the chef to cook it or take away." She asked.

"Chef will do..." She replied as they headed inside the house.

When they arrived at Elizabeth's room, Jackie could not help but ask. "Babes, what's the relationship between you and Huang Ming?"

"Huh?"

Elizabeth was confused to why Jackie suddenly asked such obscured question. "What do you mean?"

"Babes, you do realize that he likes you, right?" Jackie bluntly said.

"He does?" Elizabeth was totally surprised and have not noticed it at all.

Jackie could not believe it, they have worked for more than 3 months and she heard from the staff that Huang Ming has been pursuing her since the first day they meet.

"Babes, are you really that blind?"

"Jackie, it's not that I'm blind. I just didn't see Bro Ming as a man then. I always thought he was just a caring person. The fact he always gives me..." Elizabeth was unable to finish what she was about to say when she realized she was indeed blind. "Damn it, how stupid can I be..."

Seeing the girl's depress expression upset Jackie, she jumped on the girl's back as she wrapped her arms around her, "Babes, it's fine... Like I said, 'Love is complicated you can never understand it no matter how much you force to study it or understand it.'."

"I feel awful for Bro Ming..." Elizabeth sighed regretfully.

"It's fine Babes... Since you do wish to get over who know who... Why, why not open your heart to someone else. Spend time with other people. Babes, you aren't a child anymore sooner or later you really need to settle down."

Elizabeth could not help it but laugh hearing Jackie talked serious for once. Between the two of them, Jackie was never serious about love, "Jackie, did you eat something odd today. You're really weird..."

"Babes, I'm being serious... I just can't bear to see you hurt again. I just want you to be happy and to know someone is protecting. I know your parents and family will always be there for you, but to have someone to share your burden with. It's something I hope to see one day." Jackie expressed herself.

"Fine..."

Elizabeth went to her walk-in closet and prepared a change of clothes as Jackie went to her room. She paused for a moment as she sat down on her dresser's chair and pulled open one of the drawers.

"Maybe it's really time…"
