Couldn’t Hide the Feelings - Chapter 77
Ashley slept so firmly that she didn’t know when it was when she woke up.
After sleeping for a long time, her head was a little heavy and her brain couldn’t work.
For a moment, she still felt like she didn’t know where she was.
Lying in bed, Ashley was stupefied for a long time.
She gradually regained her senses, turned over to look at the alarm clock on the nightstand, and noticed that it was just after 12:00 at noon.
At a glance, she happened to see the picture frame covered next to it.
Ashley sucked her nose and subconsciously straightened it up.
At the same time, she saw the photo in the picture frame, as well as the young and immature her.
She paused, reached out, and rubbed the smiling Jacob with her finger, suddenly remembering his actions yesterday.
After watching it for a few seconds, Ashley whispered, “Can’t he change another picture?”
Ashley stopped thinking about it and sat up straight.
The quilt slipped with the movement.
She looked down and noticed the wide t-shirt on her body and the tiny red marks on her skin.
It was only then that Ashley found that she was wearing Jacob’s t-shirt.
And it was the only one that was covered, and there was nothing else.
The pain also relieved a lot.
Ashley got out of bed and didn’t feel sick, only slight discomfort.
It was as if she was not wearing it. She was a little uncomfortable. She just wanted to go back to her room and change into a suit and put on her intimate clothes by the way.
Before she reached the door, the door had been pushed open from the outside.
Jacob’s hand was still on the doorknob.
Noticing Ashley’s appearance at the moment, he picked his eyebrows slightly and his eyes skimmed slowly from every corner of her body from top to bottom.
Finally, he looked her in the eye again.
Seeing him, Ashley remembered what happened last night.
She felt hot in the face for no reason.
She didn’t even know what expression to face him at this time.
Ashley turned a blind eye and asked, “Don’t you have to go to work?”
Jacob, “I took a day off.”
Ashley touched her head and nodded, “I’m going to wash up.”
His eyes were still on her.
Standing in the doorway, he bowed his head as if he wanted to kiss her again.
Ashley immediately covered her mouth, “I don’t brush my teeth.”
Jacob chuckled and kissed the back of her hand.
Eyebrows drooping slightly, looking at the marks on her body, he reached out his hand and stroked it gently, saying gently, “Why does it look so painful?”
Ashley didn’t react, “What?”
His words seemed to appease but without the slightest sense of shame.
“I’ll be gentle next time.”
Ashley went back to her room to change her clothes and went into the toilet to brush her teeth.
Thinking about what Jacob had just said, she spat out the foam in her mouth and poured some water into her mouth.
‘I’ll be gentle next time.’
‘Next time.’
She couldn’t even recall the mood in which she said “I didn’t say no” yesterday.
The shame of hindsight came to mind in an instant.
There were countless pictures rising in my mind.
Liam asked her impassively, “Can you be reserved?”
‘So, is that what I look like in front of other people?’
Ashley pursed her lips, bowed her head, and washed her face.
‘Forget it.’
‘He knows anyway.’
Inexplicably, Ashley remembered that when her consciousness was vague, Jacob used that magnanimous appearance to make extremely pornographic actions.
And what the roommate said, “A man who has no sexual experience at the age of 25 will become a perv.”
‘It’s a little bit, though.’
Ashley left the room.
Jacob was standing at the table, carelessly filling the bowl with porridge.
He was still in his pajamas and didn’t look like he had been out.
The neckline of the clothes was loose, and she could see the marks she left on it.
She withdrew her eyes in silence.
“Come and have some.”
Jacob looked up.
Ashley sat down in the chair and asked casually, “When did you wake up?”
Jacob put one of the bowls in front of her, “A little earlier than you.”
Ashley, “Oh.”
Jacob also sat down and asked, “Does it still hurt?”
Ashley bowed her head and drank porridge in a low, inaudible voice.” It doesn’t hurt. ”
“I’m in a lot of pain.”
Hearing this, Ashley looked at him instantly.
Jacob pulled his collar aside, revealing the red marks on which she had been bitten as if trying to comfort him. “Look, you bit so hard.”
The tone was flirtatious and frivolous.
It was like the villain complaining first.
Ashley could not help it, but also tugged at her clothes, frowned, and said, “Didn’t you bite me?”
“Here, here, here.”
Now that he has opened his mouth, Ashley pointed one by one, “Do you have a problem with cannibalism?”
Jacob was stupefied for a moment and then laughed out loud.
His eyes fell from her face and stopped somewhere, and the corners of his lips bent and said happily, “And?”
“Didn’t I bite…”
Ashley reacted and abruptly interrupted his words, “Jacob.”
Jacob did not go on.
He licked the corner of his lower lip and said carelessly, “Ash is small everywhere.”
Although he was telling the truth, Ashley still felt insulted.
She was a little upset, and it took her a long time to say, “You are small.”
Jacob picked an eyebrow, “Are you sure?”
Ashley said, “Yes.”
The next moment, Jacob grabbed her hand and took it to his private part, “Try me.”
He gasped softly, then went up and down slightly.
At this moment, Ashley began to have a little regret.
She felt that the old man, in some ways, seemed to have broken the seal because of what happened last night.
No more restraint, no more concealment.
Straightforward and arrogant.
But it was undeniable that this man, in the sex matter, was patient and wild, particularly sexy.
Ashley didn’t know how many times she has been seduced by him.
She rubbed her sore hand and sat back on the table to finish the porridge.
Before long, Jacob came out of the toilet.
He took another shower and changed his clothes.
He sat next to her, his face as warm as jade, and his face extremely deceptive. “What do you want to do today?”
Ashley ignored him.
Jacob wanted to say something else when the cell phone on the table suddenly rang.
He glanced at the caller ID, gave a look, and quickly picked up, “Hello.”
Hearing the sound, Ashley looked up at him.
The person on the other end of the phone didn’t know what he said. Jacob’s expression didn’t change much, but he only answered twice once in a while, and finally said, “OK, I’ll go there now.”
When he hung up, Ashley asked, “Who is it?”
Jacob, “My father’s doctor.”
Ashley was stupefied for a moment.” What’s wrong? ”
Jacob’s mood was obviously worse, saying, “He had a lung infection, and the situation is not very good. The doctor wants to transfer him to the city hospital and let me go through the formalities.”
Ashley swallowed the porridge in her mouth and said carefully, “I’ll go with you.”
Jacob raised his eyelashes and stared at Ashley for a while, but his mood was unknown.
For a long time, he twitched his lips and slowly answered.
“Okay.”
Ashley has been to the hospital many times, but this was her first visit to the foster care center.
The atmosphere here was worse and quieter than that of the hospital.
People lying in bed seemed to be in poor health, some even motionless, can not see the breath of life.
Ashley also met Jacob’s father for the first time.
The man’s facial features were somewhat deformed, so she couldn’t quite see what he used to look like.
Ashley could not find any resemblance to him with Jacob.
The doctor was talking about the latest situation.
Having been in bed for nearly 12 years, Jacob’s father’s physical resistance has become very poor, coupled with a long-term lung infection, leading to various complications, the condition was not good.
The physiotherapy equipment here was not good, the doctor’s advice was to transfer to the city hospital for treatment.
Jacob just listened and didn’t say anything more.
As a complete stranger to him, Ashley felt uncomfortable when he saw him lying on the bed.
She couldn’t help glancing at Jacob and didn’t know how he felt now.
Aware of her line of sight, Jacob also looked at her.
Ashley reached out and held him as if comforting him.
As if he didn’t care much, Jacobe squeezed her hand and said with a smile, “Go and buy me a bottle of water. There’s a convenience store next to it.”
Ashley nodded, “Mm-hmm.”
“Be back as soon as you buy it. ”
Ashley can also guess that he probably wanted to get rid of her and say something to his father.
She leaned over and hugged him and whispered, “Then wait for me here. I’ll be right back.”
“Mm-hmm.”
Seeing that Ashley had left, Jacob sat down at the bedside of his father.
He whispered, “According to the doctor, you can hear me.”
“But I haven’t spoken to you much over the years.”
Jacob’s mood was very light, the tone was also very calm, “I’m afraid you don’t recognize my voice. Let me start by saying that I am Jacob, your son.”
“It has been almost twelve years since then.”
“If you hadn’t jumped, you would have been out by now,” Jacob said.
“I don’t know if Mom has ever told you about these things.”
The man in the hospital bed didn’t even move his eyelids.
It was like he was talking to himself.
“After the family’s house was sold and the compensation is given, the rest of the money and all the family savings were basically spent on you.”
Jacob couldn’t help laughing, “Because we borrowed money, none of our relatives would like to contact us.”
“Then your wife died almost eight years ago because of cancer. ”
“I was admitted to the university in South Star and only went home during the winter and summer holidays. In fact, she was aware that there was something wrong with her health, but because she had no money, she kept procrastinating and dared not tell me. ”
Jacob said, “When we went to the hospital to check, it was said that there was no cure.”
“I didn’t quite believe it. I wanted to take her to the big hospital to check again. I borrowed 30,000 bucks from my classmate.
When she found out, she fell apart and kept crying to me and begging me to give the money back.”
“Because of your medical expenses, because of my tuition, because of everything you need in life.”
Jacob’s voice gradually faded, “Because there is no money.”
“Because of you.”
“After my mother died, I didn’t intend to come back.”
Jacob mocked, “I wanted to work there, settle down, and stay there in the future. But for no reason, I hope you can wake up. I feel that even if you have done so many wrong things. You are also the only family I have in the world.
“I hope you can see everything now.”
“I want to see you feel guilty and miserable.”
“I want you to understand that if you had not run away, but had been punished,” Jacob’s eyes were red and his voice was hoarse. “how different our lives would be now.”
‘My mother must still be alive.’
‘You’re out, too.’
‘All sins are atoned for.’
‘You may not be able to face anyone because of it.’
But it may not be very good, but it must be a better life than it is now.
Not like this.
‘I am the only one to bear, this dark boundless, indefinite cage.’
