Chapter 168
After taking a sip of his coffee, Jackson asked, “How did you know I like this particular coffee?”
My attention from what he’d called me was diverted by his question, and I replied with a light shrug. “I just randomly picked one.”
That was a lie.
on something important.
Jackson looked at me thoughtfully, his eyebrows furrowing, and asked, “Have you been studying what I like?”
I quickly shook my head. “No. No, I haven’t.”
“Where’s the vanilla creamer?”
I took out a couple single serving packages of Coffee Mate and handed them to him.
Jackson raised an eyebrow smugly.
“It seems you know what I like to add to my coffee.”
Only then did I realize he was testing me, and I immediately
wanted to take back the creamer. But Jackson gently grabbed my hand and said, “I need your help.”
He was holding the cup of coffee and couldn’t tear open the lids of the little containers with just one hand. He could only signal to
me with his eyes to help him. I took them from him, tore off the film, and slowly poured them into the coffee.

Jackson looked at Taya, who had her eyes lowered. She glowed with a different kind of beauty under these lights.
He couldn’t help but be mesmerized, and his voice became softer. “Thank you.”
Taya looked up at him and said, “Drink it before it cools.”
Sitting in front of them, Griffon couldn’t see their interaction but could hear it clearly.
His eyes darkened and his wolf clawed to get out.
