Couldn’t Hide the Feelings - Chapter 86

Ashley didn’t notice anything wrong.

After hanging up the phone, Ashley turned out her cell phone calendar and looked at it.

After calculating the time, she found that she had not delivered food to Jacob for nearly a week before she knew it.

Somehow, it was probably the tone of Jacob just now, and Ashley was a little guilty of no reason.

Afraid of forgetting it, Ashley specially set an alarm clock before going to bed.

When she woke up the next day, she found a food video she was interested in, watched it in bed several times, and then went into the kitchen.

Ashley tasted while cooking and felt that today’s cooking was better than what she had done before.

She licked the sauce on her lips.

Thinking that she may tell Jacob that she did not send him food recently because she was practicing her cooking skills?

She has been thinking about it for a while.

Ashley carefully set the plate for the bento, put it in the bag, and went out the door.

She was so timed that she took a subway, and when she arrived downstairs at Jacob’s company, it happened to be at lunchtime.

Ashley did not let Jacob down to pick her up, directly took the elevator up.

Probably because of the mealtime, the door of the studio was open.

Ashley walked in and did not see Jacob in the position.

She blinked, took out her cell phone, and sent a message to Jacob.

One of the men noticed her, was stunned, suddenly hit the shoulder of the next person, and then took the initiative to say, “Ashley, Jacob has gone to the toilet.”

She nodded, went to Jacob’s seat, and took out both of the bento boxes in the bag.

No sooner had Ashley opened the lid than someone asked, “Ashley, why haven’t you been here for a while?”

She turned around.

Just as she was about to answer, Ashley suddenly noticed the figure of Jacob.

She immediately withdrew her words and turned her eyes to him.

Jacob came over and looked down at her, “How long have you been here?”

Ashley, “I just got here.”

He pulled the chair next to her and sat down and suddenly called out to her, “Ash.”

Ashley looked up and said, “What?”

Jacob glanced back and said lazily, “If someone asks you a question, why don’t you answer?”

The attention he had diverted came back all of a sudden.

She didn’t know if Jacob was unhappy. Ashley stared at him hesitantly for a few seconds, then cautiously and slowly said the excuse she thought of today, “I don’t think my cooking is very good.”

Jacob, “Hmm?”

“So I’ve been practicing my cooking skills all this time.”

Ashley dared not look at him for fear that he might find out she was lying. “Try it. Today’s cooking is better than before.”

The voice fell, and the man who had just asked Ashley suddenly said, “So it is! We thought…”

Before he finished, he was covered by the man next to him.

Ashley said, “Why?”

As if he didn’t hear what they said, Jacob picked up the chopsticks and looked gentle, “If you don’t want to do it, just forget it. If you are bored, go out with friends. ”

Ashley felt a little strange at the moment.

And the man, whether angry or happy, had the same expression, and she can’t tell it apart.

Ashley swallowed and said earnestly, “I want to cook for you.”

Jacob looked sideways at her.

Ashley added, “I really do.”

After a pause, she simply blamed him, “You just don’t want me to come over.”

Jacob looked at the men who were listening to the movement here with their ears up at this time, and laughed, “What are you talking about? ”

Ashley always thought it was weird.

After dinner, taking advantage of the time when Jacob went to throw away the garbage, she asked a few questions from a man who was the youngest here and had a big mouth.

It didn’t take long to find out why.

The man, “You haven’t been here for a while, so we all thought you broke up with the boss.”

Ashley, “…”

The man, “And the boss seems to be in a bad mood these days, so we think you dumped him.”

Ashley, “?”

“After all, I’ve heard you say that he was born in 1980.”

The man said, “A man who was nearly forty years old and unmarried must be a little sensitive in his heart. Ashley, you’d better be nice to the boss. ”

Ashley was silent for a few seconds, “I should be talking about the post-80s generation, he was born in 1989.”

Ashley did not expect that she would be able to spread like this if she had not been here in the past few days.

— Promising Jacob was dumped by a female college student because of his old age and senility.

She instantly understood the reason why Jacob asked her to come and deliver the meal.

He must have heard what they said.

Ashley returned to the position of Jacob to play with her mobile phone.

Soon, Jacob came back from outside and brought her a drink.

Ashley poked the straw into the cup and took a sip and looked at him from time to time.

When she thought of what had just happened, she suddenly felt a little funny and raised the corners of her lips.

Jacob looked at her and said, “What are you laughing at?”

Ashley smiled for a while.

Her eyes bent into a crescent moon and reached out to poke his face, revealing two small pear swirls on her lips, “An old man with age baggage.”

“…”

“It doesn’t matter.”

Ashley comforted him, “You are old, but you are still hot.”

***

On the National Day holiday, Ashley bought a ticket home in advance. On the 30th, after the last class, she got on the airport bus.

It was just after 12:00 when she arrived at South Star Airport.

Ashley didn’t bring any luggage, so she didn’t check it, she only carried a small schoolbag.

She walked out along the exit and soon saw Jacob waiting outside.

Jacob came over and held her hand, “Come on, let’s go to lunch.”

Ashley looked at the time and asked, “Are you going back to the office later?”

Jacob, “Mm-hmm.”

Ashley, “Do you have a National Day holiday?”

Jacob, “Three days.”

The two left the airport.

Ashley was led by Jacob to walk in the direction of the parking space.

She didn’t know the location and didn’t see the way. She just looked down at her cell phone.

Before long, she suddenly heard someone calling her, “Ashley?”

Hearing the sound, Ashley turned around.

What was reflected in the eyes was a tall, thin man.

It was her classmate Ethan.

It was not so far from the last time they met, it was at the classmate reunion during the summer vacation.

Compared with junior high school, Ethan has not changed much, but his appearance has grown up and his clothes have become more mature, but his temperament still looked sunny and a little silly.

Seeing that he recognized the right person, Ethan smiled and said, “Are you going home on National Day?”

Ashley stopped and nodded, “What are you doing here?”

Ethan, “My grandmother came and I came to pick her up.”

Jacob also stopped and glanced faintly at Ethan, looking thoughtful.

The next second, he picked the tip of his eyebrow as if he had thought of something, and the corners of his mouth began to pull.

It was only then that Ethan noticed the man standing next to Ashley.

He looked at Ethan and asked politely, “Who is this?”

Ashley said honestly, “My boyfriend.”

It seemed that Jacob looked familiar, and Ethan stared at him for several seconds.

Fearing that this would seem too abrupt, he coughed softly and withdrew his eyes, “I’ll leave you alone. I’m going to pick up my grandmother.”

Ashley waved her hand to him and said politely, “Contact me when you have time.”

Then she and Jacob moved on.

After a few steps, Ethan, who was behind her, stopped her again, and this time there was something unbelievable in his voice, ” Ashley!”

Ashley looked back again, “What?”

But Ethan’s eyes were not on her body but stared straight at Jacob as if thinking of something.

He looked as if he had been struck by lightning, his lips moved, and at last, he only held back three words, “Nothing.”

Ashley was also baffled, “See you.”

He was quiet for a moment and nodded.

This time Ethan said nothing more and turned into the airport.

After he left, Jacob pinched her fingertips and said slowly, “If I remember correctly, this boy has been made to cry by you before?”

Ashley muttered, ” I almost don’t remember if you don’t mention it.”

Jacob repeated what she had just said, “Contact me when you have time.”

Ashley didn’t think she was unreasonable, so she couldn’t help saying, “Can’t you hear the polite words? And he has a girlfriend and doesn’t like me anymore. The last time we saw each other, he told me that he was young and insensible. ”

Jacob looked loose, dragging the ending voice, “The last time you met.”

“Why are you still meeting other men behind my back?”

Ashley said with a straight face, “Classmate reunion.”

She frowned, “How can you find a chance to pick on me now?”

Jacob laughed. “I have to be on guard, old husband, and young wife.”

Seeing that he still wanted to continue to dig up these irrelevant old accounts, Ashley took the initiative to change the topic and mentioned Ethan’s reaction just now, “When he called me for the second time, his look seemed very strange.”

Jacob, “Indeed.”

Ashley did not understand him, “Why did he react like that? The expression was like, he suddenly found that I am not a girl anymore or something like that. ”

“It’s not that serious,” Jacob said with a laugh. ”

Ashley was stupefied, “You know?”

“Mm-hmm.”

“How do you know?”

“You know that, too.”

“I don’t know.”

“Think about it.”

For a moment, Ashley really can not remember, blankly said, “What is it?”

” I remember that when I first met me, I went to help you meet the teacher for your brother.”

Jacob patiently reminded, “Therefore, he should think that I am your brother.”
