Couldn’t Hide the Feelings - Chapter 81

Everyone thought it was too early to think about it.

Ashley was still young.

They didn’t spend much time together.

They thought that there may be changes in the future, and maybe in a few years’ time, it will no longer be in such a state as it was now.

Perhaps all things, would not follow the track, in the middle, there will be some variables.

As a result, it was nothing more than.

Separate.

But this was something that Jacob has never considered since he was with Ashley.

He was never with her with an attitude that might be separated in the future.

From their first day together, he was thinking about their future.

The forever future.

Jacob remembered that Ashley lay on his back that day, crying and saying, “Why am I 19 years old? Can I be 29 years old? I don’t want to be so young.”

It should be at that time.

She knew that her parents disagreed being with him.

But she was worried that when he knew about it, it would affect his mood.

So she could only be sad on her own, work hard on her own, and wanted to change her parents’ mind.

After knowing that Tim had said something to him, she comforted him in a panic, but she felt powerless and could only say things that made him not unhappy.

She would also thought a lot of things because of this matter, worrying that he will give up.

Then she returned to SL ahead of time and told him all the secrets she had hidden for so many years at the airport.

She hoped he didn’t feel inferior about it.

She hoped he can clearly understand how good he was, it was worth her to keep in mind for so many years.

Such a good Ashley.

The Ashley who considered everything for him.

Whether in the past or now, she was obviously so many years younger than him, and he was supposed to take care of her, but she always wanted to be his armor and the mulberry who protected him behind him.

Jacob didn’t want her to be in a dilemma between him and her parents.

This matter had to be solved.

Sooner or later.

The narrow living room fell silent.

Jacob bowed his head slightly and laughed at himself silently.

He felt that time was so hard that he began to wonder what else he could do if they still disagreed.

It seemed to be all he had.

After thinking for a moment, Tim finally said, “Under the name of Ash?”

The silence was broken, but Jacob breathed a sigh of relief and nodded.

“Yes.”

Having been out of the situation, Liam, who was excluded by three people, listened to Jacob’s words with a face of ignorance.

He sorted out his train of thought, and because of their conversation, he said in an instant, “Aait a minute. Dad, that’s too much.”

Grace slapped him on the thigh. “What are you talking about?”

“Shall we make some sense?” Liam said in silence. “No, why didn’t I see it before? You still have the idea of a match? Mom, when you introduce me to a blind date, don’t you accept her no matter how poor she is? ”

Grace was so angry by him that she had a headache. “Your condition is not comparable to that of your sister.”

“If a girl wants you, I really appreciate it.”

Liam put up with it and said, “I’ll just ask you something. Find that kid a rich second generation who can’t do anything. You two will be happy?”

Grace, “It is not that problem.”

“Then what’s the problem?” Liam glanced at Jacob and murmured, “Mom, take a closer look.

As for Jacob, the conditions in all aspects are a little worse than mine, but he is quite good. All right, he’s very kind to that kid, and he’s not poor, and there’s nothing to pick.”

Grace and Tim looked at each other, reined in their anger and sighed, “Hear your father out.”

Tim looked at Jacob and continued to ask, “When are you going to buy a house?”

Jacob, “Expected to be this year. ”

“You and Ash have not married yet,” Tim said. “You are going to buy her a house.”

Jacob nodded, “Mm-hmm.”

Tim, “Aren’t you afraid that you will break up?”

Liam frowned. “Dad, come on, how can you say that?”

Unable to stand it, Grace grabbed his arm and dragged it into the room.

“You come in here.”

There were on;y them two in the living room, and the atmosphere became deserted all of a sudden.

Jacob was not affected. He smiled and whispered back to Tim’s words, “Then it’s no use for me to keep the house. I’d better leave it to her.”

“Son, no one needs to put so much money into it just for having a relationship.”

Tim smiled, “If it was known by others, their first reaction was probably to think that you have been blackmailed by our family.”

Jacobe was stupefied, and without waiting for him to speak, Tim said, “The house is still written under your own name. This is the money you have worked hard to earn. As a matter of fact, neither her mother nor I really care about this. ”

“Ash mentioned the two of you to her mother and me many times.” Tim, looking gentle, reached out and patted him on the shoulder. “I only heard her say that and we were not sure.

The last time I said those words to you, I also wanted to see how you would react. ”

Jacobe said, “I understand.”

“I told you before that I care about this situation in your family, I am afraid, Ash will get hurt because of this. But if you can protect her, that’s enough. ”

Tim said, “I also know that the attitude of her mother and me affects the mood of both of you.”

The nerves of Jacob, who had been taut all night, finally relaxed a little, but he didn’t know what to say at the moment.

“I’ve always been a little sorry for what I said to you. I know it’s not easy for you, and I also know that it’s not your fault, it has nothing to do with you. You don’t have to put yourself in such a low position because of this. ”

Jacob looked at Tim with an astringent throat.

He always knew that Tim and Grace were very kind people.

Jacob understood their thoughts very well, knowing that they were worried about Ashley, but also for her own good.

So he can only make himself better.

Thinking, if this conversation still didn’t work, then he would try harder.

Try to do it so that they can ignore his father and stop caring about those things.

But never thought that Tim would turn around and comfort him.

“Look at Ayan’s reaction, he even thinks that we are too much.”

Tim said with a smile, “I’m not a stubborn person. It’s enough to have your words tonight. And I believe you can do what you said. ”

“In the future, you can come over for dinner when you are free.”

Both Grace and Liam came out of the room.

Several people stopped talking about what just happened and changed the subject.

It was getting late, and at about nine o’clock, Liam offered to go back.

Liam walked ahead and casually asked, “What did my Dad say to you later?”

Jacob’s lips bent, in a good mood. “He agreed.”

“What’s the matter with you?” Liam said with a touch of sarcasm. “What are those words? Men can’t live a hard life.”

“What?”

“Men have to have some assets of their own.”

Liam said lazily, “Although it doesn’t matter. But if you are so used to it, you can see from now on that the rest of your life must be miserable. That kid is sure to be spoiled by you in the future. ”

Jacob was still laughing, “It’s fine.”

Liam glanced at him, “And.”

“Mm-hmm.”

“Don’t blame yourself for everything.”

Liam played with the car keys in his hand, in a casual tone, as mean as ever, “Hypocritical.”

Liam drove over and sent Jacob back by the way.

Back home, Jacob made a video call to Ashley.

The other end picked it up quickly, and Ashley’s small face appeared on the screen, and his bright black eyes looked at him along the screen.

Jacob laughed, “Not in the dormitory?”

Ashley found a cup, leaned her phone against it, and continued to eat potato chips, “Well, I’m at your place. There is no class tomorrow morning, I can still sleep in. ”

Jacob had nothing else to do, just lying on the sofa, staring at her eating potato chips.

Noticing his appearance, Ashley blinked, “You look very happy today.”

Jacob bowed his head and chuckled, “I do.”

“What’s the matter?” Ashley stared at him for a while, pursed the corners of her lips, then went up, and inexplicably began to laugh, “What are you doing today? You laugh so foolishly.”

“I went to see your parents today.”

Jacob no longer kept it a secret. “They agreed.”

Hearing the words, Ashley snapped off the potato chips in her hand. “Oh, really? What did you say to them?”

He continued to laugh without answering.

Ashley asked several times, “Really? ”

Even though Jacob didn’t answer, Ashley laughed foolishly as she said it.

She was obviously infected by him, and the troubles that had been going on for a long time were finally solved.

She picked up the phone, put her face close to the screen and looked at him closely.

“Jacob.”

“Mm-hmm.”

She smiled and said, “I’m so happy.”

‘It is not just because my parents agreed.

Also because you have been recognized.’

Jacob looked at the little pear vortex on her lips and suddenly wanted to bite it off.

He rubbed the screen with the belly of his fingers and his eyebrows were soft. “Well, I’m happy, too.”

“Jacob.”

Ashley called him again.

“Yes.”

“This matter, at this moment, can be regarded as turning the page.”

Ashley sat up and said solemnly, “In the future, no one is qualified to think that you are bad because of this.”

She whispered, “You are the best.”

One night, Jacob was soothed by three different people who spoke in different ways to pacify his scars from his youth to the present.

The feeling of dull pain, which has been going on, seemed to disappear without a trace at the moment.

Perhaps, in the past, he was a little unfortunate.

But at this moment.

Jacob felt that he seemed to be extremely lucky.

After Jacob went to South Star, Ashley’s life did not change much.

She went to class every day, took part in activities and competitions, stayed in the library, and stayed at Jacob’s house for a few days when she was free.

But there was one more thing that she has never been done before.

When she was free, she would go to the city hospital to see Jacob’s father’s condition.

She didn’t mention this to Jacob either.

She just felt that he was not here, she could help him pay attention to his condition.

Then, if something really went wrong, she could tell him in time.

The days went by.

In early March, Ashley participated in the game design competition last semester, and the list of winners came out.

To her surprise, her work also took a place.

Although it was the third prize, it also surprised her.

Just as she was about to tell Jacob about it, there happened to be a message on Whatsapp from a person who had hardly been in touch with her.

It was Avery whom she ran into in the supermarket a few days ago.

She came to tell Ashley about Kathy.

[I want to talk to you about something.]

Ashley:[what?]

Avery:[after hearing what you said to me before, I subconsciously observed Kathy’s state and asked her some questions bluntly. She didn’t keep it from me, she just said it.]

Avery:[I think there’s nothing wrong with her, but she’s a little paranoid and doesn’t listen to what others say. She is normal when she doesn’t meet your boyfriend. I don’t know if it’s a psychological problem.]

Ashley was a little at a loss. [Why are you suddenly telling me this?]

Avery:[Just want to say something for her. In fact, she is not a bad person, it is because of her father’s things, psychological shadow, but she will not take the initiative to hurt others.]

Avery:[there has been something going on in her family recently. She should have figured it out. I don’t think she will go to trouble with your boyfriend again in the future. You don’t have to worry about it, and then I’ll apologize to you because of what happened before. Sorry.]

Ashley didn’t know what to say.

When she saw these words, she thought of the treatment of Jacob, and she was not in a good mood.

Ashley stared at it for a long time, and finally only replied an okay.

The award ceremony of the game contest was held in the auditorium of SL University.

It was the day before Ashley’s birthday, many people came to participate, including students and teachers from hundreds of colleges and universities, as well as representatives of dozens of enterprises.

Originally, Ashley was looking forward to this award.

But when it really came, it didn’t cheer up at all.

Because she was stood up by Jacob.

Since Jacob returned to South Star, she tore the calendar every day and began to look forward to her birthday.

Seeing that the day was coming, she also decided to go to some places with Jacob.

In the end, there was only a sentence from Jacob, “Something came up temporarily. I can’t get back in time. I’ll make it up for you next time.”

Ashley was actually very unhappy, but she knew he was busy and didn’t want to lose her temper with him.

So she could only sulk on her own.

Sitting in the auditorium at this time, she saw Jacob’s message, Ashley did not want to reply immediately.

She looked at the time directly above the phone and thought that she would reply to him in ten minutes.

Make him feel what it’s like to be left out in the cold.

The award ceremony was not held immediately, and several professors on the stage were talking about academic issues.

After listening for a while, Ashley soon felt bored and stopped listening.

She lit her phone again, looked at the screen, and thought ten minutes didn’t seem to be enough.

Ashley still hasn’t replied.

After a while.

Jacob sent another message:[Why is there no reply?]

Ashley began to waver, thinking about whether to reply, the next classmate suddenly hit Ashley on the shoulder and said excitedly, “Ashley, that man is so handsome.”

Ashley looked up subconsciously.

She saw him instantly, and the man who was talking to her on Whatsapp one moment ago was also the liar who had told her the day before that he was not free for the whole of March and could not be back to accompany her birthday.

Jacob was dressed formally today, dressed in a suit and wearing a dark red tie, looking gentle.

He was tall, thin and flirtatious, and the clothes looked abstinent and sexy on him.

Ashley seldom saw him dressed like this, and her eyes seemed to be glued to him at this time, and she could not move his eyes.

She even forgot that she was sulking and had an impulse to run back and hold him at once.

She hasn’t seen him for more than a month.

Her classmate was still saying, “Hey, which company is this representative of? It seems to be some kind of game company.”

Standing in place, Jacob scanned around and quickly found Ashley’s position.

With a pick at the tip of his eyebrow, he picked up the corners of his lips and walked in her direction.

Ashley’s position was right on the edge of the aisle.

“Oh, is he coming towards us? Oh, my God, it looks like he’s coming.”

When Jacob stood next to Ashley, the classmate next to her shivered for a moment.

Jacob bent over slightly, reached out and knocked twice on Ashley’s mobile phone to light up the screen.

He raised his eyelids, drew back his eyes and said in a dragging tone, “Kiddo, take a look at your cell phone.”

“Your boyfriend seems to be looking for you.”
