After washing up, she headed downstairs to pour herself some water when she heard voices. It was Jackson and Jacqueline.

“Dr. Baker,” greeted Natalie as she walked down the stairs.

In response, Jackson smiled back at her.

She then looked at Jacqueline, “You sent Ms. Graham back?”

“Yeah,” replied Jackson as he nodded.

Although Jacqueline could not see Natalie, she could roughly make out where Natalie was, based on her voice. Thus, she turned toward Natalie and said, “It’s late, Ms. Smith. You haven’t slept?”

“Not yet. I’m drawing out some blueprints,” Natalie replied.

Jacqueline nodded. “I see.”

After that, she did not ask any more questions.

“Come, Jacqueline. I’ll take you back to your room,” said Jackson as he helped her up.

 

Jacqueline did not refuse, she slowly headed upstairs with his help.

Natalie watched their backs as they went upstairs. Although they matched each other well, something still felt a little weird.

 

Since Jackson loved Jacqueline so much, he was very cautious while helping her.

However, although Jacqueline was technically together with him, she was still somewhat alienated in her words and actions.
