Couldn’t Hide the Feelings - Chapter 80

Mike was fat, after getting married, under the moisture of love, he was even fatter.

He took a deep breath, pointed at him, and put it down.

It was like he just felt like he could put up with it.

In less than three seconds, Mike raised his hand again, pointed at him the second time, and growled, “How do you f*cking know my exact weight?”

“I really guessed it,” Liam said coolly. “I deliberately guessed lower.”

Mike could not accept this humiliation and looked at Jacob, “Jacob, do I look that fat?”

Jacob, “No.”

His words soothed Mike’s mood in time.

He was a little angry, but he was still angry at Liam’s tone, “You son of a b*tch, from now on, don’t contact me, or I’ll hit you.”

Silence for three seconds.

Jacob added with a low smile, “I thought you were 100 kg.”

For a moment, Mike’s anger was filled with a few traces of sadness, looking at Jacob as if he were looking at an unfaithful man. “Why did you attack me with him? You used to love me the most.”

“What are you talking about?”

“If my girlfriend hears what you said, she would misunderstand,” Jacob said.

“And this is my brother-in-law.”

Jacob propped up his chin and looked at Liam, smiling very gently. “How can I do if I don’t help my own family?”

Liam, “You are really disgusting.”

Mike also changed sides, “I can’t stand it either, really.”

Jacob had a good temper and allowed them to ridicule.

“When he didn’t have a date before, to be honest, I can put up with it.”

Mike said, “Now he has a date, he is like a male peacock, whining every day. I really don’t know how your sister put up with him. ”

Jacob thought it was funny,” It’s such an exaggeration. ”

“Look at yourself in the mirror when you have time.”

According to his own experience, Mike kindly reminded, “Today’s little girls don’t like such clingy partners. If you go on like this, in less than a year, her period of boredom will come. ”

Hearing this, Liam looked at Jacob with a thoughtful look.

Without waiting for Jacob to say something, the cell phone on the table rang.

It was a video call from Ashley.

He pulled up the corners of his lips, picked up his phone, and said slowly, “Do you mind?”

Mike, “Absolutely yes.”

Jacob thought for a moment, hung up, and returned a voice call back.

He picked up the water cup, pressed his phone to his ear, and said, “I’m actually too embarrassed to answer it.”

“But my girl is a little grumpy.”

Jacob smiled, “I have to answer it.”

The next moment, the phone was connected.

Ashley’s voice came, “Are you still out?”

“Well, with your brother and Mike.”

Jacob took a sip of water and asked in a warm voice, “Back to the dormitory?”

“Yes.”

Ashley was very self-conscious, “Then I will not bother you, you can play with them, I will take a bath.”

“I’ll call you when I get back.”

“Sure.”

As if remembering something, Jacob explained with a smile, “Don’t worry, I have nothing to do with them.”

Mike, “…”

Liam, “…”

“What did you say…” Ashley swallowed her words back, became silent, and quickly opened her mouth again, raising the volume. “Are they next to you?”

Jacob made a hum.

Ashley hung up the phone directly.

Jacob picked the eyebrow and put the phone down.

He smiled to himself, and then asked, “Where were we?”

Mike, “I think you are so annoying now.”

Liam sent him the number and pointed in the direction of the door of the bar. “Take it and get out.”

Ashley also sent him a message on Whatsapp. [What are you doing?[

Ashley:[don’t say it in front of them.]

Jacob smiled. He put down his phone, leaned back in his chair, and said, “You two exclude me, why do you still ask me to come out all the time?”

Mike looked subtle and turned his eyes to them. “How can you two be the same?”

Liam, “…”

“I remember before,” Mike said, “you also told your sister that we were waiting in line to hit on you in the whole dormitory. You could tell if you were sick or not.”

Jacob said lazily, “Brother, this is your problem.”

Liam did not care, “As for me, I can attract both men and women.”

As he said that, he glanced up and down at the two men. “look, the way you stare at me, like a wolf seeing meat, I’m really scared.”

Liam looked at Jacob and changed the topic, “When are you going?”

Jacob, “Mm-hmm”

“To meet my parents.”

“In a few days.”

Jacob said, “What?”

“Nothing.”

Liam said with great interest, “I want to take a look.”

After getting the number, Jacob found a suitable time and dialed the phone.

It rang twice, and the other end picked it up, and Tim’s voice came, “Hello, who is it?”

“Hello, uncle, this is Jacob.”

Jacob licked his lips and said politely, “Recently I went back to work in South Star. I haven’t contacted you all the time. I also want to settle down and visit again.”

Tim’s tone was as kind as ever, “Are you going to settle down in South Star?”

Jacob, “Yes, I intend to develop here.”

“Well, it’s fine.”

Jacob was still not sure about this matter.

He lowered his eyes and said solemnly, “I was in a hurry last time, and I didn’t have time to tell you about me in detail. So I’d like to ask you when you’re free, and I’d like to talk to you again about the last time. ”

There was silence on the phone.

Tim smiled, “I’m free on weekends. Come over on Saturday night and have dinner with us. Recently, my friend gave me a bottle of wine, but Liam didn’t come back, and I couldn’t find anyone to drink with me. ”

Jacob breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile, “OK, I’ll be there on time.”

On Saturday, Jacob took the fruit and tea he bought and arrived at Ashley’s home on time.

It was Grace who came to open the door. She smiled at him and took what was in his hand, while the latter said, “Don’t bring so many things next time. Dinner is almost ready. ”

Jacob took off his shoes and volunteered, “Let me help you.”

“No, it’s almost done.”

Grace said, “Sit down for a while. Liam, pour him a glass of water. What are you doing sitting there? ”

Jacob subconsciously looked in the direction of the sofa.

He saw Liam leaning on the sofa as if he had no bones, chewing gum in his mouth.

He raised his chin in the direction of the coffee table and said leisurely, “Pour it yourself.”

Jacob’s eyelids moved.

Seeing Grace seem to be angry, Jacob busily said, “It’s all right, I can do it myself.”

Grace stared at Liam for a while, as if she couldn’t get used to it anywhere.

She said nothing more, nodded, and went back to the kitchen to help Tim.

Jacob followed her in and said hello to Tim before coming out.

Then Jacob sat down on the sofa and asked, “What are you doing here?”

“Listen to my sister, my parents don’t seem to like you very much,” Liam asked, “tell me some details.”

“All you have to do is watch the hustle and bustle.”

Jacob did not joke as usual. “Try not to say a word.”

Liam glanced at him and soon felt bored. “Who wants to get involved in your business? It was my sister who begged me for help, so I came back for dinner. ”

“No need.”

Aware of his abnormality, Liam raised her eyebrows. “Brother, you don’t need to be scared like this. You know what kind of people my parents are. They won’t stop your relationship.”

Jacob laughed but did not speak.

As it happened, Grace also began to shout, “Dinner is ready.”

At the dinner table, they didn’t talk much.

Occasionally Tim would ask a few questions, Jacob answered a few words seriously, and then fell into silence.

They spent most of my time eating.

After dinner, taking advantage of the time when Jacob went to the toilet, Grace began to let Liam finish eating and leave many times.

“Mom, what’s the matter with you? Didn’t you say you missed me the other day? And when I’m back, you want to kick me out before my ass got hot.”

“Come back another day.”

“I’m free today,” Liam said. “I’m not free another day.”

“I don’t care when you are free, I don’t care when you are free in your life,” Grace said firmly. “Hurry back.”

It was as if these people were going to say some big secret.

The more mysterious Grace was, the stronger his rebellious mentality was, and he didn’t move. “I’ll sit down a little longer.”

Seeing Grace’s expression become worse, Liam cleared her throat. “Mom, I haven’t seen you for weeks. I want to spend more time with you. I can’t even talk to you for a while.”

“Why didn’t you say that when you didn’t come home for months?”

Tim said at this time, “Let him stay, it’s no use anyway.”

Liam, “…”

Soon, Jacob also came out of the toilet.

Apart from Liam, the other three began to talk.

After a while, Jacob got to the point. “I considered all the concerns you told me last time when I went back.”

“I want to give you a clear account of the situation.”

Jacob spoke slowly, saying all the past in an understated tone, “My father’s accident, the families of the victims, at first, relatives on their side, will come to trouble. But after my mother died, these cases have been rare. All that’s left is the victim’s daughter, Kathy. ”

The living room was quiet and none of the other three spoke.

“I didn’t handle the matter well.” Jacob said, “when I went back to SL after graduation, I was always busy with my work. I didn’t have any energy and time to take care of Kathy’s entanglement. Because I was there alone, I didn’t worry that she would affect others, so I didn’t mind much. ”

“I heard Ashley say that Kathy had gone to see her. This is something I did not think of, and it is also my thoughtlessness. ”

The voice of Jacob paused, and his Adam’s apple slid up and down. “Because the problem on my side affects Ashley, it also makes you feel uneasy and worried. I am very sorry about this. ”

Tim sighed, “No, it has nothing to do with you.”

“After this incident happened, I clearly mentioned to Kathy that I would solve it by calling the police.”

“She showed up several times, and I called the police,” Jacob said.

“After that, there were fewer times, and I hadn’t seen her for a while. ”

“Coming to South Star is something I was thinking about last year. I have worked all these years and have some savings in my hand. After a period of time, when things in the studio are more stable, I will also start to look at the house. If it is appropriate, I will make a reservation, and the house will also be under Ashley’s name. ”

“There are still more than two years to go before Ashley’s graduation, and I will keep telling you about my situation in the next two years.”

Jacob pulled his lips. “On my father’s side, out of duty and obligation, I can’t ignore it. But my current financial condition is sufficient to pay for his medical expenses. ”

Unable to see whether their thoughts had changed, Jacob’s throat was dry. “I can’t change my family. I don’t have much either. But I will use all I have to be kind to Ashley all my life.”

Except for the bad ones.

Everything he had now, including the future.

All of them, he wanted to give them to her.

Including himself.
