Ashley thought his reaction was a little scary.
‘What's wrong with this old man?
Did she react too much just now?
But would she be human if she stood by and watched him be bullied and did nothing like a bystander?’
Ashley felt that she did nothing wrong with her.
"Brother, you don't have to worry about what happened just now."
Ashley thought about it and said, "When I was blackmailed in the second year of junior high school, you helped me, too."
Jacob nodded.
Ashley added, "Now that you are old, it is my turn to help you."
"…"
Just passing a trash can, Ashley threw all the paper towels in her hand.
When she looked back, she noticed that Jacob's expression froze and the smile on his face disappeared a little.
He looked a lot more normal.
It was as if he had come to his senses and reflected what the thought that had just popped up was.
Then Ashley saw.
Jacob drooped
Jacob has some secrets tooo
Maybe it was because of what happened today. That night, Jacob had a dream. In the dream, he received an admission letter from South Star University and dreamt that a week before the report, his mother Mary gave him the money he was prepared to go to college and was robbed by those so-called "creditors". He dreamt about that night. The family house has long been sold. They rented a house with one bedroom and one living room. His mother lived in the bedroom, while he slept in the living room. Jacob found many part-time jobs during the summer vacation and came home late every day. That day, when he got home, he heard Mary on the phone. She was on the phone with her uncle, a relative who gave her a lot of help. The phone was in the living room. Jacob saw Mary on the phone and said hello to his uncle. Then she smiled and said slowly, "Brother, Jac has been admitted to Nanwu University." After saying
Looking at his back, Ashley hesitated for a few seconds.She wanted to crumble on his back, but she seemed to remember something. She quickly withdrew her hand and said solemnly, "No."Hearing this, Jacob looked back, "Again?"Ashley nodded and said, "The doctor said you should avoid heavy manual labor for three months."Jacob was slightly stupefied, and the corners of his lips bent up, "You still remember being so drunk?"As if she didn't hear what he said, Ashley didn't answer, but kept her eyes down, snapped her fingers, and slowly counted, "You did the operation in November. So, December, thirteen, fourteen. ""No."As if finding something was wrong, Ashley frowned, "Twelve, thirteen."... ""...."Jacob smiled, "Twelve, one."It was only then that Ashley looked at him.Her mind was as confused as a ball line. She didn't know why she jumped from twelve to one. She hesitated and said, "That's, that's a fe
"..." Ashley was stunned and stopped her action of checking the phone. She raised her eyes and looked at him. Her head went blank in an instant, and she had the feeling of hearing him wrong. The car was quiet and echoed with soothing music. After a long time, Ashley regained consciousness and responded dully, "What?" Jacob looked ahead, the outline of the side face was three-dimensional, and his Adam's apple was pulled out of a good-looking line. Hearing her voice, the corner of his mouth went up a little bit more, and his tone was careless, "Why?" Ashley whispered, "What did you just say?" Jacob didn't seem to understand, "Hmm?" Ashley, "Ah?" "What?" He looked gentle and calm, and laughed several times, "Did I speak?" "…" Ashley paused and wondered, "No?" Jacob was still smiling and did not speak. Ashley looked at him strangely, slowly withdrew her eyes, and tilte
After getting on the plane, Ashley found her seat, told Liam, and then turned off the plane.The plane taxied, rumbled, and rose into mid-air.Ashley pulled the bezel off the window and looked out.She watched the city of Silver River gradually shrank in her own eyes and was covered by a white fog until she couldn't see it clearly.She withdrew her eyes and rested for a while with her eyes closed, still not sleepy.Ashley simply took a comic book from her bag and turned to the page she saw last time.But she couldn’t focus.Ashley breathed a sigh and slammed the cartoon shut.She started thinking about last night again.She sat on the ground playing with the snow, and then Jacob appeared. She began to cry, saying that she had a person she liked, and then vomited on him.Then she said a lot of messy words, crying and shouting, extremely embarrassed.After that, he carried her back to school, and she di
The host was preparing on the stage when the music suddenly played in the banquet hall. The whole audience quieted down in an instant, which also suspended the dialogue between Jacob and Liam. Liam gave him a cold look and took his cell phone out of his pocket. Jacob drooled his eyes and smiled. Dozens of seconds passed. Ashley thought that they must have already forgotten this matter. Through this gap, she looked in the direction of Jacob. At the moment, he was watching the stage and he seemed to be listening carefully to the host's introduction. He did not look this way. Ashley withdrew her eyes, approached Liam's ear, and whispered, "Brother…" Before she had finished her words, Liam interrupted her coldly, "Kid, don't call me like that. I feel a little sick when I hear it." "..." Ashley continued to ask, "What is wrong with Brother Jacob?" Ashley was looking at the mobile phone.
"Ah? You'll be 27 then. " Ashley didn't react very much for a moment, but she soon felt that something was wrong. "Wait, why did you ask about my age?" "I see you always bring it up tonight." "… What's the matter? " "I didn't get you just now," Jacob laughed. "But now I get it." "What?" "What do you mean by that," Jacob said in a loose tone, with a bit of ridicule. "When you see Mike getting married, you also want to get married." Ashley, "…" "What are you thinking about at a young age?" "…" “Brother found that you haven't reached the legal age of marriage." Jacob said, "One more year, Ash can get married. Don't worry." "…" Ashely put up with him and stopped looking at him. "Nice shot." "And in another year, I will only be 26, not 27." Ashley could not help retorting, "You are 26 this year, not 25." "I haven't had my birthday yet. I’m only 25." Jaco
"..."Ashley said nothing, withdrew her eyes, and nodded dully.She bowed her head and pondered the meaning of his words.She thought he had forgotten it, or didn't take it seriously at all.And Ashley did not see him mention talking about his girlfriend, nor did he show her.‘Who was that at the airport before that?’Ashley looked at him again and asked, "What about the one before?"Jacob, "Which one."She didn't know if it would seem strange for her to mention something so long ago. Ashley played with her fingers and pretended to inadvertently ask, "I came to Silver River when I was a freshman in high school, the sister who came to the airport with you.""When you were a freshman in high school?""…"Ashley struggled for a few seconds and could only speak more accurately to strengthen his memory, "When I came to find my online lover."Jacob remembered, "My boss."Ashley pu
‘Why is it about Brother Mike?While chatting, he suddenly thought he was smart.’Ashley had no idea what he was thinking and could only nod concomitantly.She was silent, turned on her cell phone, and found Mike in the address book.She wanted to ask something, and she felt that it seemed strange to go to him because of this.And he had a good relationship with Jacob, so he probably won't tell her easily.Ashley decided to be self-reliant and worked hard to think about the logic of these words.She thought about it for a long time.She can't believe there was any connection.But.Ashley suddenly reacted to something.‘Why did she answer his question obediently?Why should she be interrogated by him obediently like a prisoner?It doesn't seem to have anything to do with him.Why did she make up a lie and answer? If she just keeps silent, there's nothing he can do about
