Couldn’t Hide the Feelings - Chapter 61

His breath was warm and sprayed in her ears, itching and numb.

His tone was with a bit of teasing, particularly indecent.

Most of Ashley’s emotions dissipated in an instant. She raised her eyes and stared at him in silence.

“Why don’t you speak?” Jacob straightened up, chuckled, and admitted voluntarily, “All right, I know I’m an old-fashioned guy.”

Hearing this, Ashley straightened the corners of her mouth for a few seconds, and this time she couldn’t help laughing, “Don’t you admit it?”

Jacob raised his eyebrows slightly. “Well, I surely am.”

Ashley sniffed but didn’t attack him. “It’s okay.”

She lowered her eyes, looked at the black wallet in her hand, and handed it back to him. “Take it back.”

Jacob did not answer, but put the card on his hand into his pocket, “I will not return this.”

Ashley whispered, “I didn’t ask you to return it.”

Jacob took the card out again, stared at it for a long time, suddenly laughed, and murmured, “I can still be a gigolo at my age.”

Ashley said,” I didn’t ask you to spend this money either. ”

“You give it to me and won’t let me spend it.”

Ashley looked at him, “You have to save it.”

Jacob, “Save it for you as a dowry.”

Ashley was very serious, “To buy a house.”

“I checked on the Internet before, the city center, 100 square meters, the down payment is about 500,000.”

Ashley said, “At this rate, I should be able to buy one for 20 years.”

Jacob was stupefied for a moment and laughed aloud.

His chin was slightly reined in, his cheerful mood was unrestrained, and his shoulders trembled with laughter. “All right.”

Twenty years sounded a little humble.

Ashley thought for a moment and then said, “Maybe it won’t take that long.”

Ashley forgot the reasons for being in a bad mood when he interrupted her like this.

She touched his arm with the wallet and reminded him, “Take it.”

Jacob took it, drew two cards from it, and handed her, “Boss, your cards.”

Ashley didn’t take, “Why?”

“I can’t leave any money on me.”

Jacob smiled, “Or I’m not a qualified gigolo.”

Ashley can’t help saying, “I spend a lot of money.”

“Then I’m lucky,” Jacobe said with a tone. “I found a generous sugar mommy.”

Ashley took only one and carefully put it into the bag.” I don’t need it. I’ll keep it for you. I’ll give it back to you if you want it. ”

Seeing that she was finally in a better mood, Jacob asked, “Why aren’t you happy? Didn’t you have dinner with someone from the company today?”

To sum up, Kathy also came to annoy her for the second time.

In addition, Ashley was targeted in the past week because of Kathy.

She didn’t plan to resign, thinking that she should fight against Avery and take her salary.

Afraid also affected the mood of Jacob, Ashley did not confess, “My colleague is a little annoying.”

After sending Ashley back to school, Jacob drove home.

He drove the car into the neighborhood and slowed down. Before he reached the turning point, a man suddenly bumped into him.

Jacob’s eyes tightened and he subconsciously braked the car.

His back broke out in a cold sweat and his brain was at a loss for a moment, then he unfastened his seat belt and got out of the car.

The man who had just hit him was half leaning in front of his car, obviously drunk and not hit, muttering inaudible words.

Jacob took a deep breath and shouted, “Sir”.

The man stood up, suddenly pointed to the wheel, and swore, “Your car ran over my dog.”

Hearing the words, Jacob swept his eyes and did not see what he called a “dog”.

He closed his eyes and quietly said, “You are drunk, go and sit by the side for a while.”

“I’m not drunk.” The man was still wobbly and pointed to him drunkenly. “You hit my dog.”

Hearing the noise on this side, people continued to look around.

Before long, the security guard came over, and after learning about the situation, he patiently persuaded him.

But the man was completely irrational. He heard the security guard say, “Then pull the dog out” and replied angrily, “The life of the dog is not a life.”

In the end, there was no choice but to call the police.

Jacob returned to the car and carelessly watched the man making trouble outside.

He didn’t get out until the police came.

Such a toss took half an hour.

When he got home, Jacob opened the refrigerator and filled his mouth with a bottle of ice water. The root of his tongue was a little numb.

There seemed to be a thread in his brain that will break as soon as he pulled it.

Glancing at a wide variety of snacks, Jacob pursed his lips and took out a bar of chocolate.

He sat down on the sofa, tore open the package, and took a bite.

An extremely sweet and greasy taste.

Jacob pulled out the card in his pocket.

He stared for a long time, his eyebrows loosened and his eyes bent down.

The tense mood seemed to fade away.

After eating the rest of the chocolate, Jacob took a change of clothes and went into the bathroom.

When he came out, it was nearly 11.

By this time, Ashley had already fallen asleep.

Jacob was not sleepy. He took out his mobile phone and played games for a while. He didn’t lie down and sleep until 1: 00 in the morning.

Then he had a dream.

He dreamt that he had a drink at the party tonight, but he felt that he was not drunk, so he resolutely chose to drive home, and then bumped into the man on the road.

He also heard his own voice and heard himself stopping it.

Desperate, hysterical voice, as if to pierce the eardrum.

However, in the dream, he ran away.

Jacob dreamed.

He became his father.

It was probably the most chaotic night Jacob had ever experienced.

He was doing his homework in his room, thinking that when he finished it, he would still have time to read some comic books.

His mother was watching TV in the living room, and he could vaguely hear her intermittent laughter.

It was supposed to be an extremely peaceful night.

Until his father came back.

He was extremely reckless, with a strong and foul smell of alcohol, and he was trembling.

In the face of his mother’s worried questions and appeasement, he just broke away.

The panic was to the extreme.

The noise was so loud that Jacob was unable to do his homework.

He stopped, got up, went out of the living room, and asked, “Mom, what’s going on?”

His mother gathered her shawl and said, “It’s all right. Go on with your homework.”

“I’m done.” However, his father was not as good as her “nothing”. His eyes were red and repeated these two words over and over again, “I’m done.”

His mother frowned and was frightened by his appearance. “What on earth are you drinking so much? Why did you come back? Didn’t you ask your assistant to see you off?”

“I,” His father said with an almost choked voice in his throat. “I hit someone.”

The house immediately quieted down, leaving only the thick breath of his father.

For a while, his mother regained her mind and turned to Jacob, “Jac, go back to your room.”

She hurriedly grabbed his father’s arm and forced herself to calm down. “Tell me what happened.”

His father shouted, “I don’t know.”

“Where did you hit that person? Did you call an ambulance?” His mother’s eyes turned red and her voice trembled unconsciously. “Did you get out of the car and have a look?”

“On People Road, next to KFC,” His father suddenly raised his head and burst into tears. “What am I going to do? What am I going to do?”

Jacob said at this time, “Dad, did you call an ambulance?”

His father shook his head again and again and wouldn’t listen to anything. “I can’t. No one saw that I hit him, no one knows that. Forget it. Just leave me alone”

His mother also yelled, “Are you crazy?”

Jacob’s forehead jerked and his palms chilled.

Listening to his parents’ quarrel, he went silently to the sofa, picked up the phone, and began to call 120.

Aware of his behavior, his father looked over and said, “what are you doing?”

The other end was connected, Jacob’s eyes were red, and he looked back at his father. “There is a KFC on this side of People Road. There is a car accident. Someone got hurt.”

His father seemed crazy and wanted to come and grab his phone and was stopped by his mother.

“Please send someone over as soon as possible, thank you.”

When he finished, Jacob hung up the phone and said, “You have to save him.”

“That person is probably not dead. Why don’t you save him?” The image of the father collapsed in an instant. Jacob tightened his muscles on his face, clenched his teeth, and asked, “Why did you run away?”

His mother put Jacob behind her and said seriously, “You should turn yourself in.”

“Admit your mistakes and atone for your sins.”

She encountered such a big thing for the first time and cried, “You have done something wrong. You have to make up for it. This is what you should do.”

Looking at their expressions, his father was still shaking his head.

His whole face was red and he kept sweating. “I don’t want to go to jail. I don’t want to.”

His father seemed to be out of mind and murmured, “I can pay for my life, all right?”

Then, Jacob saw a picture that he would never forget in this life.

His father, in order to escape this sin.

Suddenly rushed in the direction of the balcony, and then jumped off the sixth floor.

But he didn’t die. He lay in bed and became a vegetable.

Huge medical expenses, huge compensation, never-ending accusations, all of which should have been born by his father changed direction to him and his mother.

Jacob and his mother bear the entanglement of Kathy’s family, including all their relatives.

Young child, as well as gentle and cowardly woman, has become the best targets for bullying.

The endless extortion and sharp and vicious curses did not stop until they moved.

But it has become a shadow that will never go away.

“You should die, too.”

“I don’t know what you’ll be like when you grow up.”

He was afraid it’ll be like everyone said.

He would become a person like his father.

So he never drank.

Follow the rules in everything he did.

Jacob lived with inferiority, cautiously, and hard.

He did not believe in fate and would never choose to give up and fall into the quagmire in the words of others.

He believed that it will be like what his mother said.

Just like he thought.

He will live better than anyone else.

Ashley’s cell phone has been muted for a long time, mainly because of classes and fear of affecting roommates.

But recently, when she was alone in the dormitory, she opened the voice because she didn’t see other people’s news in time.

In the middle of the night, she was woken up by a facetime call.

Ashley was distracted by the ring.

For a moment, she thought the alarm clock rang. She touched her cell phone, hung up the phone vaguely, covered her head, and went back to sleep.

It wasn’t long before the phone rang again.

Ashley woke up a little, wrinkled her eyes, and looked at the screen calmly.

It was found to be Jacob.

Noticing the time in the middle of the mobile phone, Ashley immediately exploded.

She took a calm breath, held her temper, answered the phone, and let it out.

In the narrow dormitory, the voice of Jacob sounded instantly.

Ashley was going crazy. “It’s three o’clock now, Jesus.”

Jacob paused and smirked at the other end. “Sorry, I can’t sleep.”

Ashley just wanted to sleep and said perfunctorily, “What do you want?”

“Talk to you.”

“I want to sleep,” Ashley said, resisting the impulse to hang up the phone directly. “Go to my brother. I don’t think he’s sleeping now. He usually stays up all night on weekends.”

Jacob, “I need you.”

Ashley’s eyelids were lifted.

Feeling that it was not right for him to harass her at this time in the middle of the night, she reached out and turned on the camera. “What?”

It was so dark on her side that she couldn’t see anything even if the camera was turned on.

Seeing this, Jacob also opened, revealing his face.

The light at his end was not very bright, and the pixel was a little low. “It’s all right, you go to sleep.”

Ashley said,” Did you have a nightmare? ”

Jacob smiled, “How do you know?”

Because she just woke up, Ashley spoke with a nasal accent, which sounded soft and slow. “What else can it be besides having nightmares at this time?”

“Did you dream that there were ghosts standing by your bed? Why are so timid?”

Ashley said with disgust, “Lie down now, and I’ll sing you a lullaby.”

Jacob made a hum softly.

Ashley lay down on the pillow and began to sing “Go to sleep, my dear baby.”

Soon, Ashley stopped and sat up. “I feel like I will fall asleep first.”

Jacob began to laugh again, with a faint breath.

Ashley sat against the wall wrapped in a quilt, holding her cell phone in her hand and saying what she thought. “It’s all fake, the nightmare. Look around you, look at me on the screen. ”

“Oh.”

Ashley’s mind was a little unclear. “There is no light on my side. I don’t bother to go down and drive.”

Jacob smiled and replied, “Mm-hmm.”

“It’s all fake,” even Ashley thought she was going to fall asleep. “I’m the real one, and everything else is fake.”

Jacob’s voice was low and affectionate. “I know.”

The two were talking without a match, and Ashley unwittingly lay down on the bed and gradually fell asleep.

The phone in her hand still didn’t hang up.

The person on the other end listened to her gentle breathing, chuckled, and gradually fell asleep.

Till dawn.

In the new week, Ashley went to work in the company as usual.

As usual, she was attacked by Avery and then responded neatly.

Many times, looking at Avery, who was very angry by her every time, Ashley actually had a feeling of being very happy in it.

At the end of the day, Avery picked up her bag and left on time.

Before leaving, she glanced coldly at Ashley and said with a straight face, “Sort out the report and go back.”

Ashley nodded. “Oh.”

After she left, Ashley also began to pack up and get ready to get off work.

Noticing the situation on her side, her colleague stared, “You’re leaving? Didn’t Avery ask you to sort out the report?”

Ashley, “I will do it tomorrow.”

“Ashley, you are really awesome.”

“You’ll be scolded to death by her when you come tomorrow.”

“I will be scolded anyway,” Ashley said. “then I might as well get off work early, have a good rest, save my energy, and wait for her to scold me tomorrow.”

It was really fun to go to work this way.

After leaving the company, Ashley did not feel tired.

She got on the subway, went downstairs to Jacob’s company, and waited for him to get off work.

She found a sushi restaurant and ordered a set meal at will.

She turned out a cartoon to read.

Before long, Ashley received a call from Grace.

She picked it up.

Grace, “Ash, where are you now? Are you still working overtime?”

Ashley bit into sushi and said, “No, I just got off work. I’m having dinner now. ”

“Go back to the dormitory as soon as you finish eating, you know,” Grace sighed. “I’m so worried that you’re there alone.

“It’s all right,” Ashley looked at the time. “I should be back at eight o’clock. It won’t be too late.”

“OK, let’s do the facetime later.”

“Sure.”

Ashley hung up the phone, didn’t pay much attention to the matter, and continued to eat sushi.

Soon, Jacob came.

Ashley also ordered one for him, saying, “I have to go back early today. My mother wants to make a video call with me.”

“Mm-hmm.”

After dinner, Jacob sent Ashley back to school.

He didn’t drive. After they got off the subway, they walked hand in hand in the direction of SL University. “Today, Avery asked me to go and get her a glass of warm water, so I went to get her a glass of warm water.”

“And then?”

“After I finished, she scolded me, saying that she clearly wanted cold water.”

At the mention of this, Ashley was in high spirits. “I told her that cold water could not come out of that water fountain.”

Jacob thought it was funny, “Then?”

“She was very angry and said how could there be no cold water. I said, then you try, and she really went to get the water. After she get a glass of water, she told me that it was okay. I said, maybe it will break down as soon as I use it. ”

Before Ashley finished, her cell phone suddenly rang.

While Ashley said, she felt out her cell phone and saw that the caller ID was actually Liam.

She blinked and answered “what?” in a very spineless way.

The other end paused and said coolly, “Are you back in the dormitory?”

Ashley said inexplicably. “I’m almost at school now. What’s wrong?”

“So,” Liam said, “Now you are the one holding hands with a man at the school gate, aren’t you?”

An extremely sudden remark.

Ashley was still a little at a loss. She didn’t realize the meaning of his words for a moment, and subconsciously looked around, “Oh, brother, are you here?”

The other end has hung up.

Ashley also discovered the existence of Liam at the same time.

He was on the side of the road, staring impassively at the hands of the two of them.

Next to him, a taxi started and disappeared into the traffic, as if it had taken away all the sounds in the world.

Liam said faintly, “I’m blind.”

“Why do I think your graduate boyfriend,” Liam sneered.. ” looks just like that asshole Jacob.”
