Anna Wright refused to take the handkerchief and instead she bawled while she grabbed Jacob Shelby’s sleeve to wipe all her tears and snot.
Jacob suppressed the urge to immediately take off his top and wash it as he looked at the marks left on his sleeve. Then, he said in despair, “Hey you… Don’t cry.”
“I can’t stand it.” Anna cried even more profusely. “Jacob, you’re such a bully. I’ve already forgiven you for treating me this way. I’m just here to talk to you and yet you’ve actually shut the door on me. Why, why do you have to treat me like this huh…”
Anna cried profusely such that two snot bubbles emerged from her nostrils.
Jacob was at a loss of what to do now. He softened his tone to speak, “What can I do to make you stop crying?”
“I don’t want to cry either, but I can’t stop it.” Anna wailed and bawled aloud as if she was trying to unleash her grievance through her tears.
She acted as if she had been calm and easygoing regarding this incident.
Yet, she was abducted for no apparent reason under suspicion and then was imprisoned for half a month. How could she endure all this in her heart?
A wisp of regret flashed past Jacob’s eyes as he looked at her. He pulled up Anna helplessly. “Come in and let’s talk.”
If he allowed Anna to continue crying like this and if anybody else saw this, perhaps he would be accused of committing some hideous crime.
“It would’ve been fine if you had let me in earlier!” Anna grabbed the napkin on the table and blew her nose noisily.
The scene was so exquisite that Jacob did not even have the courage to watch.
Anna stopped when she was done crying.
Only then did Jacob ask, “What would you like to discuss with me?”
“It’s all your fault. You made me almost forget the important matter.” Anna glared at Jacob furiously.
Jacob was speechless.
“Why are you looking at me like that? Did I say anything wrong?” Anna was furious.
“You’re right.” Jacob could only admit that it was his fault under Anna’s torchlight-like burning gaze.
“Hmph,” Anna grunted coldly. Then, she tossed her phone to Jacob. “You promised that you’d help Dumpy win the decathlon.”
That was all?
Jacob raised an eyebrow, then he took up the phone and began bustling about.
He was tampering with the software while Anna propped her chin on her elbow as she watched him quietly from the side.
The side of Jacob’s face was truly handsome. He looked like he had just walked out of a painting.
Anna was charmed by his looks the more she looked at him.
“It’s done. Next, you’re going to take part in the competition and that’s all. I’ve reprogrammed the software. Dumpy will surely be the champion as long as it’s in the competition. Are you going to take part yourself or would you like me to do it for you?” Jacob looked up after he was done with the task.
Anna was still staring at Jacob in a daze.
Jacob frowned and stretched out his hand to wave at her.
“What are you doing?” Anna had only reacted to the situation abruptly.
“You’re drooling…” said Jacob, feeling rather speechless.
“It’s a trick, it’s all a trick! Don’t think that you’ll be able to deceive me.” Anna refused to believe him. “I won’t be tricked by you.”
Jacob brought up the mirror software on the phone and showed the display to Anna.
Anna took a glance at the screen dubiously and saw those two crystal clear streaks at the corners of her mouth.
Oh oh oh oh, god damn it!
She was truly drooling from watching Jacob.
Anna blushed and grabbed Jacob’s sleeve to wipe his mouth.
Jacob was in despair as he looked at his other contaminated sleeve.
He suppressed the uneasiness he felt all over his body and said in all apparent seriousness, “Is there anything else? If not, I won’t keep you any longer.”
“What the heck is wrong with you! Why do you want to drive me away so badly?” Anna was even more infuriated.
“Alright.” Jacob inhaled a deep breath, then he began unbuttoning his shirt right away.
Anna was dumbfounded. She stood up in a panic. “Ja...Jacob, calm down. What are you doing?”
Jacob had already unbuttoned his shirt swiftly and his muscular chest was exposed.
Anna took a peek and her face flushed up like an apple.
Jacob appeared to be very emaciated, but his figure was way bulkier than she had imagined. Oh oh oh oh, why was his complexion fairer than hers? She wondered what kind of skincare products he used.
Anna thought and thought. All of a sudden, a clap was heard. She smacked her head.
What the heck was she thinking about at this time?
The concern was not whether or not Jacob had a good figure.
The concern was why Jacob suddenly removed his clothes. What was he going to do?
Could it be that he wanted to…
No, that could not be. He had just been discharged from the hospital recently and he had yet to recover fully. How could he engage in this kind of activity?
Bah bah bah bah, this was not the issue here.
She was still a pure, unmarried woman. Even though she figured that she could possibly have already...fallen for Jacob a little, he seemed to be progressing way sooner than she had expected.
Albeit she did not seem to be at a loss because of Jacob’s impressive figure.
However, she was still a girl and she needed time to prepare for that.
Jacob had already removed his shirt completely during the time Anna was lost in various conjectures. His entire upper body was naked.
Then, he held the shirt and walked toward Anna.
The masculine scent of a man was growing stronger and stronger. Anna felt like she was about to burst into flames in the heat of passion.
