Couldn’t Hide the Feelings - Chapter 88

After so many years of being with Jacob, Ashley has hardly seen him get angry.

Occasionally he really got angry, and it didn’t take long for him to become calm, and he didn’t seem like a normal person with a good temper.

Ashley never thought that one day, she would also see what he said.

“Have you ever seen me lose his temper? It’s scary.”

He lost his temper all of a sudden.

Ashley didn’t notice it at first, because he got angry and was no different from his usual state.

But indeed, she was a little scared by him.

In the second semester of Ashley’s junior year, the students around her began to look for internships one after another.

Previously, Ashley’s idea was to come out to work directly after graduation, but after discussing with Jacob, she decided to be a graduate student at South Star University.

So while others were interning, Ashley was preparing for the exam for graduate students.

With fewer courses, Ashley spent most of her time in the dormitory or in the library.

Sometimes she was afraid that staying up late reading will disturb her roommates, so she will stay at Jacob’s residence for a few days.

Half the semester just went by.

Ashley took a fancy to a couple of watches on the Internet and planned to give one of them to Jacob as a gift on the second anniversary.

Because it was not cheap, she found a part-time job near the school coffee shop.

Also because of this, she met a younger man, Ian, who was younger than her.

Ian didn’t work part-time there, just accompanied his classmate to buy drinks.

Ashley was good-looking and was arranged at the front desk by the boss.

But she didn’t like to laugh very much, and out of the spirit of professionalism, and because she has been told by her boss several times, she can only force a smile.

Her pear vortex was obvious, and it was exposed with a small pull at the corner of her mouth.

It was like love at first sight, and Ian asked Ashley for her number on the spot.

Ashley refused on the grounds that she already had a boyfriend.

But maybe he didn’t believe what Ashley said.

From this day on, Ian will come to the coffee shop almost every day.

As soon as there were fewer guests in the store, he would go to the front desk to chat with Ashley.

The hourly wage in this coffee shop was not high, and Ashley didn’t spend much time here every day, so she didn’t plan to work here as a part-time job for long.

She was so annoyed that Ian showed up for a long time and mentioned her resignation to her boss bluntly.

But Ian knew her department as well as her grade.

In the end, he even knew the number of her dormitory.

He asked someone to deliver something to her every day, or block her under the dormitory.

He also found out where she would go every day, pretending to come cross her from time to time.

Ashley had a lot of suitors, but this was the first time she has met such a haunting person.

Generally speaking, when other people knew that she had a boyfriend, they would just give up.

But this Ian, probably because he was young, he was brave.

It was like being reckless and trying to be a mistress.

Jacob has been so busy recently that he has made fewer phone calls with her.

Ashley mentioned the matter to him on Whatsapp, but when he asked about it, she just said she refused.

After all, it was so far away that she was afraid that it would also affect his mood and felt that she could handle it.

This situation lasted for several weeks, and Ashley finally couldn’t stand it.

She dragged Ian’s number from the blacklist and dialed, “Just tell me what you want.”

The teenager smiled and said, “I can’t believe you called me.”

She was annoyed when she heard the voice now, and her tone was a little more impatient, “I have a boyfriend.”

Ian did not care, “Where did you get a boyfriend? I’ve seen you so many times this month, and I haven’t seen a male creature around you except me. ”

“Never heard of a long-distance relationship?”

“It’s hard to maintain a long-distance relationship.”

Ian said, “What do you think of me?”

Ashley was silent for a few seconds, “You want me to tell the truth?”

“Come on, I’ll change what you don’t like.”

“Compared with my boyfriend in terms of appearance. You are not even worthy to bring him foot shampoo.”

Maybe he was really hit, and after a week, Ashley didn’t see him again.

As a result, she finally breathed a sigh of relief.

From Ashley’s view of Ian during this period.

She thought this person was very abnormal.

Obviously, it was a scum man who thought he had a handsome face and hooked up with girls everywhere.

He didn’t care if the other person had a boyfriend.

So Ashley didn’t have the slightest sense of guilt, and sometimes when she thought about it, she regretted that she didn’t curse him.

She didn’t pay too much attention to the matter, and gradually put it behind her.

Ashley bought the couple’s watch.

But on this anniversary, the two didn’t seem to have a chance to meet.

Because they didn’t have much time all month, one was busy with work, the other was busy with exams.

The two met on May Day, so Ashley didn’t mind much.

She made a deal with Jacob to make up for it when she got home during the summer vacation.

The day before the anniversary was Peter’s birthday, a classmate Ashley knew.

She was invited to his birthday party at a big stall near the school.

After arriving there, Ashley was surprised to find that Ian was also there.

As a friend of one of the girls, but he looked more like an affair.

Because something happened earlier, Ashley came a little late, so there was only a vacant seat next to Ian.

She pursed her lips, went over, and sat down, passing the gift to Peter.

There were several people with who Ashley was familiar.

She bowed her head and washed the dishes in front of her with tea.

Ian tilted his head and said to her, “This has been washed.”

Ashley made a sound and continued to rinse.

After a few seconds, the cell phone in her pocket vibrated. She looked down at the caller ID, got up, and picked it up outside the store.

Jacob, “What are you doing?”

Ashley looked back and didn’t know when she would be able to go back to the dormitory. She lied in a low voice, “In the dormitory. I’m going to take a bath, read a book and go to bed. ”

One time when chatting with Jacob, Ashley inadvertently found that if she told Jacob that she would go back to the dormitory very late today, it would affect his attention and work status.

Because he would always wonder if she returned to the dorm safely.

It was so far away that if anything happened, he couldn’t come right away.

After that, Ashley would not tell Jacob if she returned to her dormitory late.

Jacob smiled and said in a particularly gentle voice, “All right. Don’t go to bed too early today. I’ll go home first and call you later. ”

Ashley, “Okay.”

She put her phone back in her pocket and went back to the big stall.

Most of the people were not eating, but drinking and playing games.

The next table was playing truth or dare.

A boy was drawn for a big adventure and came to ask Ashley for her number and was jokingly stopped by the people at their table.

Ashley also politely refused, “I’m sorry.”

What they were playing at this table is “who is undercover”, and the punishment for losing was a big adventure.

Ashley was particularly unlucky. She was voted out in the first round.

People began to think about the punishment of the great adventure.

Ian sat next to her and offered, “Call your boyfriend and tell him that you want to break up with him?”

Hearing the speech, Ashley put on a straight face and looked at him quietly.

“No?”

Ian, looking harmless, poured wine into her glass. “Then drink.”

The atmosphere suddenly became quiet and awkward.

Peter frowned and took the initiative to ease the atmosphere, “Asshole, that’s too much.”

Ashley tugged at the corner of her mouth, picked up the cup in front of her, and poured it into her mouth.

Looking at Peter, she said faintly, ” I can’t afford to play, I’d better drink. You guys play first. I’ll have something to eat. I feel sick when my stomach is empty. ”

She didn’t eat anything, and she felt sick after a cup.

Picking up the kebab in front of her, Ashley pushed the meat into the bowl with chopsticks.

She was in such a bad mood that she wanted to leave after staying for such a short time, and thought it would make the atmosphere of the party worse.

After eating for a long time, until the bowl was empty and Ashley took the kebab again, she realized what she had just eaten seemed to be Beef Kebabs.

Ashley paused for a moment, thinking that it was okay to eat a small amount, but didn’t care too much.

At this time, it happened to be the end of a game.

Ian lost and was booed with the girl next to him and had a glass of wine.

Although everyone did not say it clearly, the gesture was particularly obvious, that was he was allowed to drink with his ambiguous partner.

But after Ian took the two glasses of wine handed over by others, he handed one of them to Ashley and said cheerfully, “Do you mind?”

The scene fell silent again.

Ashley saw that the expression of the girl sitting next to Ian suddenly cooled down, and her eyes were a little more hostile.

Maybe it was because of drinking on an empty stomach, or it could be for some other reason.

At this moment, Ashley suddenly felt sick to her stomach.

As if she hadn’t heard Ian’s words, she stood up and calmly said, “I’m going to the bathroom.”

There was no bathroom in the stall, so Ashley can only go to a nearby public guard.

When Ashley got out of the big stall, Peter could not help it. This time his tone was not too polite, “Brother, are you here to smash the scene today?”

“No.”

Ian innocently said, “I just saw that she didn’t talk much all night. I wanted to play a joke on her and let her fit in. Oh, don’t be angry. I’m just kidding. ”

He coaxed the girl next to him, “Come on, drink with me.”

As soon as he finished drinking, Ian noticed that the mobile phone that Ashley had left on the table lit up and the phone call showed the words “your boyfriend is looking for you”.

‘Your boyfriend is looking for you.’

‘It’s kind of sweet.’

‘Why are you being so cold to me?’

He really hasn’t come across anything so difficult.

Ian sneered secretly, then quietly put her cell phone in her pocket and stood up, “I gotta go to the bathroom.”

When he left the store, Ian picked up the phone and said, “Hello.”

Jacob politely asked, “Who is that?”

Ian calmly replied, “I am Ashley’s boyfriend, a new one.”

Hearing this, Jacob was completely quiet.

Before long, Ian heard the man seem to laugh, a very light sound.

“You are Ashley’s new boyfriend?”

“According to my girlfriend, do you always call her?”

Without the slightest fluctuation in his tone, Ian said solemnly, “Whoever you are, please don’t harass my girlfriend.”

Thank you. ”

With that, Ian hung up the phone and deleted the record by the way.

After thinking about it, he muted his phone and maliciously put the number on the blacklist.

Ashley tried to hold back the sour feeling in her throat and went in to wash her face.

She didn’t feel much when she was sitting, but when she stood up, she felt a little dizzy.

She felt a little itchy, too.

She bowed her head and noticed a little rash on her arm.

Ashley took a deep breath.

What kind of shit luck today.

Ashley really didn’t want to go back.

She pulled out a piece of paper to wipe her face, rummaged through her pockets, and wanted to tell Peter directly on Whatsapp.

But she didn’t find my phone.

She paused, opened her bag, and looked at it, but couldn’t find her cell phone.

At this moment, Ashley also remembered that she seemed to have put her cell phone on the table.

The restlessness in her heart became more and more intense, and she calmed down and turned back to the big stall.

New games began to be played on the table.

Ashley saw her mobile phone on the table at a glance and picked it up.

She walked up to Peter, said “Happy Birthday” to him, and mentioned that she wanted to go first.

Peter was also sorry and said in a low voice, “I don’t know that man either. My friend brought him here. I’m really sorry about today. I’ll treat you to dinner some other time. ”

Ashley smiled, “It’s all right, your birthday today, don’t affect the mood.”

Paying attention to the movement here, Ian said in a loud voice, “Are you going to leave? It’s not necessary. I was just joking, that’s all. ”

Ashley pretended not to hear him and said goodbye to other people.

Ian seemed to be endless, “How embarrassed you are to me?”

Peter patted the table and said, “Hey, that’s almost enough.”

In the midst of the hustle and bustle, Ashley left the shop.

She heard footsteps following her, and then came the voice of Ian, “Don’t be angry. You see, everyone blames me. ”

Ashley held back her temper, “Leave me alone.”

“It’s so late. I’ll take you home.”

“No.”

As soon as these words fell, Ian suddenly grabbed her arm and said affectionately, “Are you drinking too much? Why can’t you stand firm? Let me hold you. ”

Ashley suddenly shook off his hand.

The action was so great that it was as if she had run into something dirty.

Ashley took a step back, got angry, and said, “What do you think you are?”

“On your condition-“Ashley scanned him up and down, with a bit of mockery in her eyes,” who gave your face?

“If you don’t think highly of my terms, then try something else. ”

Ian’s eyes also grew cold, pulled her into his arms, and said in an angry voice, “I’m pretty good.”

Jacob stayed up all night for several days before he finished the project in his hand.

He was so tired that he left the company and didn’t even have time to go home. He went straight to the airport and slept on the plane.

Because he was not sure if he could come over before, Jacob didn’t tell Ashley in advance.

He was going to surprise her at this time. He called her when he got off the plane.

And then learned that she was already in the dorm.

Jacob was in a particularly good mood at the thought of seeing her soon.

When he was downstairs from her dormitory, he called her again.

To his surprise, a man’s voice came from the other end.

His tone was arrogant and childish, like a protective calf, saying that Ashley was his girlfriend, which was funny and without any credibility.

And then hung up.

Jacob was not angry, but he just thought it was funny and ridiculous.

But Jacob called Ashley again, but found that he could not get through, he gradually began to have other emotions.

The girl just told him on the phone that she was ready to go to bed in the dormitory.

In less than an hour, a man answered the phone.

So at first, what she said in the dormitory was probably false.

But the reason, Jacob could also guess.

Just afraid that he would be worried, but also felt that there will be nothing near the school, simply lied to him, so that he can feel at ease.

Jacob trusted Ashley extremely.

But he didn’t trust others.

The man across the phone made him feel uneasy and unhappy.

At the moment, Jacob could not contact Ashley, and he didn’t know where she was now.

It was like the multiplication of emotions.

Jacob found Ashley’s roommate Sophie from the address book and dialed the past.

The other end picked up very quickly, and it seemed that she had never thought she would receive a call from him. “Hello,” she hesitated.

“Sorry to bother you so late.”

Jacob said, “I can’t reach Ashley now. I’m in a bit of a hurry. Do you know where she went? ”

“Ah? She said she had a friend’s birthday. ”

Sophie said, “But didn’t say where to go.”

“Okay, thank you.”

“They usually get together near the school and don’t go too far. Don’t worry, nothing will happen to her. Let me ask for you. ”

Jacob thanked her again.

After hanging up the phone, he ran in the direction of the school gate.

Thinking about Sophie’s words, he found them one by one in the shop off-campus.

Blindness and lack of calmness.

Jacob was more worried about Ashley’s state at the moment than the man’s words.

After all, she would not give her phone to others, nor will she listen to others say these words to hurt him.

And it was getting late.

Jacob was about to keep looking when the phone vibrated and received a message.

Sophie sent him a location.

It was a big stall.

At the same time, Jacob also found Ashley not far away.

She was grabbed by a man’s arm, then flung it away, her mouth opened and closed, and the thorns all over her body came out.

The man seemed annoyed, grabbed her arm again, took her into his arms, and said some words.

Jacob just breathed a sigh of relief, and because of Ashley’s situation, hostility immediately surged up.

His usual reason was gone in an instant, and his eyes were dark as if he were forbidding his emotions and strode that way.

This was no different from sexual harassment.

Ashley took him away, raised her hand with all her strength, and slapped him in the face.

Ian’s head tilted and he licked the corners of his lips.

With his lips half-open, he soon looked at Ashley again, with a touch of disbelief in his eyes, and then raised his hand.

The next second, a man appeared next to Ashley.

Tall and outstanding, with no expression on his face, he kicked him in the stomach as soon as he came up.

Ian hasn’t even realized it yet.

He was defenseless, snorted, took a few steps back along with the strength, and fell to the ground.

Then, Jacob looked back at Ashley.

He looked at her face and every part of her exposed in the air and whispered, “Did he hit you?”

She didn’t know why he suddenly appeared here, but Ashley’s spirit was instantly relaxed and her tail voice trembled.

“No.”

Jacob stared at her arm, “What’s wrong with the hand?”

Ashley sniffed, “Allergic.”

“Wait outside.”

Jacob touched her head and said, “Don’t be afraid.”

With that, he went over and squatted next to Ian.

Jacob just made a lot of effort. Ian didn’t get up until now, clutching his stomach and gasping for breath.

He stared at Ian and said carelessly, “Who are you bullying?”

Ian raised his leg and kicked him, “You’re fucking sick.”

Guessing his behavior, Jacob stepped on his leg directly.

He was still smiling, his eyes bent into moon hooks, and he looked particularly gentle.

But what he did did not match his expression at all.

Listening to his cry of pain, Jacob slowly moved his leg, grabbed his hair, hit his head on the ground, and asked again.

“Who are you bullying?”

There WERE onlookers, mostly students.

The owner of the shop heard the news and came out to persuade him to fight, for fear of affecting his own business.

Peter also came out.

He recognized Jacob, afraid of coming to the police station for a while, so he couldn’t help saying, “Forget it.”

Jacob seemed to listen to nothing.

His appearance was extremely gentle and approachable.

But his strength was relentless, and his eyebrows and eyes were full of ruthlessness and no temperature.

Like a god who just climbed up from hell.

Ashley was also afraid of something wrong, so she called out to him anxiously, “Jacob!”

Hearing this, Jacob stopped.

He lowered his eyelids, released the hand holding Ian’s hair, and chuckled, “I’ll just let you go, for fear of scaring my girl.”

“Look, even if my girl really wanted to cheat, she wouldn’t look for you like this-“Jacob rubbed the blood on her hand against Ian’s clothes, lowered her voice, and said politely,” to humiliate me. ”

Most of Ian’s injuries were flesh and skin injuries.

He was obviously extremely angry, his chest heaving, and his words seemed to be squeezed out of his teeth, “I’m going to call the police.”

Ashley pulled Jacob behind her and was not afraid of anything at all, “OK, I also reported to the police that you sexually harassed me.”

Peter agreed, “We all saw it just now. You started the trouble.”

Even the ambiguous object of Ian was no longer on his side.

After all, they could see that Ian has been clinging to Ashley all night.

A girl who knew Ian said, “You go first. We can communicate with him. ”

Jacob was really not afraid but came to interest.

When others were persuading, he took the initiative to hand the phone to Ian, “Call the police.”

Ian would be worried that Ashley really sued him for sexual harassment.

Even if the case can not be put on file, it was not good to spread it to the school.

He stared at Jacob without saying a word, with an expression of reluctance.

Only scolded, “You are sick.”

“If you harass her again.”

Jacob smiled. “I’m really not afraid of going to prison.”

This was the first time Ashley has seen Jacob so angry.

She tried hard and pulled him away, obviously annoyed by his words, “What do you mean you’re not afraid of going to jail?”

Jacob looked at her and said, “How long has this man been bothering you?”

Ashley was stupefied and recalled, “About a month, but he didn’t show up much some time ago.”

Jacob drooped his eyes, but there was no emotion on his face, “Why didn’t you tell me?”

Ashley said honestly, “I’m afraid you won’t be happy.”

“Did he bully you before?”

“No.”

Ashley’s grievance came up again and murmured, “I’m not so easy to bully.”

“You drank?”

“Yes,” Ashley said, “but I felt uncomfortable and stopped.”

“Mm-hmm.”

Seeing that he was not going in the right direction, Ashley asked, “Where are you going?”

Jacob, “Hospital.”

The rash on her body became more and more obvious and looked shocking.

Ashley shook her head and said, “Just buy some medicine. I don’t want to go to the hospital.”

Jacob made a sound again but didn’t stop it.

“What are you doing here? Didn’t you say you didn’t have time?”

“I spared some time.”

“Oh.”

Ashley thought for a moment and explained to him, “I didn’t mean to lie to you. I feel like I’m going back very late today. I’m afraid you’ll be worried over there, and I’m right outside the school, so there’s nothing unsafe. ”

“I know.”

Ashley was really surprised to see him, and that little grievance soon disappeared.

She began to tell him about recent events, smiling and feeling better.

Jacob said a few words from time to time, but the words were obviously less.

The two went to a nearby drugstore to buy medicine and then returned to their residence.

Ashley sat on the sofa and began to look at the rash on her body, feeling a little depressed, “I just ate that kebab, and then I realized it was beef. I didn’t eat much either. I just ate a few buns. I thought it was all right. ”

Jacob took two bottles of water out of the kitchen and poured them into a hot kettle to boil.

He grabbed Ashley’s hand and reminded him, “Don’t scratch.”

Ashley obediently replied, “Oh.”

In the living room, there was only a sound in the hot kettle.

Ashley stared at his face and asked casually, “When are you going back?”

Jacob, “I don’t know.”

“Shall we go out tomorrow?”

“Mm-hmm.”

After talking to him for a while, Ashley found in hindsight that he seemed to be in a bad mood, and his words seemed to squeeze out like toothpaste.

Jacob poured some hot water into the cup and mixed it with cold water, “Take medicine.”

Ashley swallowed the medicine and hesitated, “Are you angry?”

Jacob smiled, “Why am I angry?”

His tone made Ashley affirm his guess in an instant.

She was confused, “Why are you angry?”

Jacob stood up and went to the kitchen, “Go take a bath and apply for medicine later.”

Ashley subconsciously followed him and said nervously, “Are you mad at me?”

“No.”

“I just thought that if we were so far away, I must have told you good things.”

Ashley could only guess this reason, pulled at the corner of his clothes, and softened with him, and it’s really nothing.”

Jacob, “That was nothing just now?”

Ashley said, “I didn’t expect him to be like this.”

Ashley looked at him steadily, “I won’t do this again.”

Jacob no longer mentioned this matter, “Go to take a bath.”

Just a little bit of grievance, but also because of his accusations, hundreds of thousands of superimposed.

Ashley’s nose was sore and she choked unconsciously, “I’m sorry.”

Hearing the sound, Jacob looked over and said with a straight face, “Don’t cry.”

As soon as he said, Ashley’s tears fell as if they were against him.

She bowed her head, reached out, and wiped it off, holding back a cry, and said, “Then I’ll take a bath.”

Jacob pinched her chin and raised her head.

“Still crying?”

Now Ashley couldn’t help it. She began to sob and couldn’t even say a word.

Jacob sighed, “I am too mean?”

She was silent for a few seconds and shook her head.

Jacob, “Then why are you crying?”

“Aren’t you very busy?”

Ashley spoke very slowly because she sobbed and spoke vaguely, “I don’t want you to work so long every day and always think about my things… ”

“Work is not as important as you.”

“Even if you are far away, you have to tell me the truth.”

Jacob wiped away her tears and said patiently, “It’s better for me to worry over there than to know nothing at all.”

“I don’t want to be angry with you, I just was,” Jacob said in a mute voice, “I was a little scared.”

He couldn’t get in touch with anyone, and he didn’t know where she was. He got a call like that, and then she put him on the blacklist.

He searched for a long time, and when he saw her, he saw that she was being entangled by a strange man.

Jacob felt powerless and finally had to find her position through her friends.

As soon as she cried, he was helpless and coaxed in a low voice, “Don’t cry, I shouldn’t have yelled at you.”

Ashley’s tears could not stop. She complained to him, “I am so unlucky today, you still scold me for being uncomfortable.”

Jacob kissed her on the face, “Why are you uncomfortable?” “I feel sick to my stomach. I want to throw up.”

“Well, I’ll give you a sober soup. If you don’t feel well, take some medicine. ” “I feel itchy, too.”

“Take a shower first, and I’ll put the medicine on you later.”

Ashley rubbed tears on his clothes, but still could not help saying, “You are so scary when you are angry.”

Jacob laughed and said, “did it scare you?”

“No.”

Ashley sniffed. “But if you yell at me, I just want to cry.”

“Are you threatening me?”

“No.”

“If you have anything to do in the future, you should tell me honestly, for better or worse. Do you hear me?”

“Mm-hmm.”

Jacob’s eyebrows and eyes spread out, and he fooled around and said, “Don’t give me a chance to yell at you, will you?”

After Ashley returned to her room, Jacob tossed about in the kitchen for a while, then went to the living room and picked up her cell phone from the coffee table.

He opened his address book and dragged himself off the blacklist.

He looked at the note and the corners of his lips bent.

Ashley came out soon after not taking a long bath.

She sat down at the table, finished Jacob’s good sober soup, and was called to the sofa by him.

Just after taking the medicine internally and externally, Jacob grabbed her by the waist and began to help her with the medicine, frowning and saying, “Next time if you eat beef and mutton, I’m really going to beat you.”

Ashley’s eyes were still red.

She blinked, not frightened at all, “Then go ahead.” Jacob raised eyebrows, “Don’t you have the next time?”

“You just don’t want to be beaten.”

“Mm-hmm.”

Ashley laughed and stared directly at his face, “Jacob.”

Jacob, “what?”

“I bought a couple of watches, but I put them in the dorm.”

Ashley said like a treasure, “I’ll bring it to you tomorrow.”

“Fair.”

“Did you buy me a present?”

“I bought a necklace.” Jacob said, “I’ll put it on you later.”

“Hmm.” Ashley said slowly, “I thought it would be better for me to oversleep this morning. I was scolded by the teacher for being late for class. Then I lost my meal card, and when I passed the playground, I was hit on the head by a blue ball. I went to a friend’s birthday party and met annoying people, and I was allergic again.”

Jacob seriously applied the medicine to her and said, “Is it so pitiful?”

“But I think I thought about it too early.”

Ashley whispered, “I feel lucky today when I see you.”

Even the time only accounted for such a small part of today, but it can make most of those troubles become insignificant.

In the second semester of her senior year, during a chat with Sophie, Ashley heard her say that her boyfriend proposed to her.

“He was so interesting. He was really shy, and then in that bar, he sang me a love song, called me to the stage, and suddenly got down on his knees and proposed to me. ”

When talking about it, Sophie couldn’t help laughing. “The point is, he got down on both of his knees because he was so nervous.”

Ashley laughed out loud.

At the end of the conversation, Sophie was also curious about her, “What about your Jacob? Did he ever mention it to you? ”

Ashley thought for a moment, “He has said before that we get married after graduation, but I don’t know if he will propose. And I think he has a high profile, and I’m a little worried. ”

“Ah?”

“Just. I kind of want to propose myself.”

In fact, Ashley didn’t dislike Jacob’s high-profile proposal, but she just felt embarrassed.

As Sophie said, she went on stage and accepted her boyfriend’s proposal in full view of the public. She felt very surprised and happy.

But Ashley felt that if this happened to her, she would be happy, too, but she would probably be a little uncomfortable.

But when it really came, it was not at all what she thought it was. Jacob proposed to Ashley on the day of her graduation ceremony.

This was an important part of her life.

That day, Tim, Grace, and Liam all came.

As soon as the scene changed, it was like going back to many years ago, when she accompanied her parents to attend Liam’s graduation ceremony.

However, this time the protagonist has changed from Liam to her.

Liam brought a camera and took a picture of her lazily.

Ashley felt that he didn’t take a good picture, so she went over to talk to him when she took a picture and even quarreled in the back.

Jacob also brought a camera, comforted her a few words, and took dozens of pictures for her.

After taking the graduation photo, Ashley suddenly received a red rose from a stranger and walked on, and a group of people crowded up to send her flowers, one each.

Among them, there were many classmates she knew, even Tim and Grace were involved.

Ashley suddenly realized something.

In fact, many things had a premonition, from the wake-up today, Ashley had a very strong premonition.

Because according to her understanding of Jacob, he will definitely propose to her today, which will be a very high-profile and old-fashioned way.

A high-profile old-fashioned man.

Under the guidance of everyone, Ashley saw Jacob in the middle of the road.

At this moment, she didn’t have any energy to give to the people next to her, and she didn’t care about other people’s eyes at all.

Ashley has imagined this picture a thousand times.

Jacob was formally dressed today, with a white shirt, black trousers, and a tie.

He walked slowly up to her with a large bouquet of roses in his arms.

Ashley suddenly wanted to laugh.

Jacob lowered his jaw and laughed.

He was tall, thin, dark-haired, with outstanding facial features. He stood in the bright place, looking dazzling and flamboyant.

After a few seconds.

“After you told me your secret before, I didn’t talk to you about it very seriously.”

Jacob stared into her eyes and stopped smiling, looking a little more serious. “At that time, I saw you crying as you spoke, always worrying about whether it would be a very sad thing for you.”

“So I’m afraid to mention it.”

The little girl exposed all her worries to him.

She used all her courage to tell him in her way-I admit, between us, I like you better.

“I have never mentioned to you that I am not the kind of person who will fight for it as soon as he likes someone.”

Jacob licked the corner of his lower lip and said seriously, “before showing my love for you, I secretly had a crush on you for a period of time.”

I have also struggled because of inferiority because I feel unworthy of you, I will flinch because of your reaction, and I will be ecstatic because of one of your responses.

“You may wonder if it is due to the sudden addition of a person around me, because this person is kind to me, and then I find that this person likes him, too, and I want to live with her for the rest of my life.”

Jacob coughed softly, “Maybe you don’t think so, but I’m afraid you’ll think so, so I still want to mention it.” Ashley whispered, “I thought about it.” but she just thought about it. Now she didn’t think so anymore.

“Have you really thought about it?”

Jacob smiled, “I used to think that it doesn’t matter to be alone all my life. But I don’t really think it’s okay. I just haven’t met such a right person. ”

He did not meet a person who made him want to put aside the opinions of others and climb out of the abyss of inferiority.

So it was impossible to make do with it because he didn’t have the courage at all.

Until he met her.

Jacob pulled the corner of his lips and knelt down on one knee, “But you make me suddenly want to have a try.”

Ashley’s heart was beating wildly.

She was so nervous that she was out of breath. listening to his insipid words, her eyes turned red unwittingly, “Try what?”

“to love someone.”

“regardless of everything.”

He looked up with a very light “kiddo” in his mouth, and then solemnly finished the rest, “so will you marry me?”

How could she not?

This was something she has been thinking about for many years.

Ashley took the flower from his hand and said, “Oh.”

Jacob really felt nervous, and when she got such a response, there was a crack in her expression.

He hung his head like a laugh and quickly said, “Is that the reaction? Do you want to see me cry? ”

” No. “what I mean by” Oh “is,” Ashley sniffed and said seriously, “I am very.

She was stupefied when she saw Jacob, and the arc of the corner of her lips gradually rose. He hung his eyes and put the ring on her ring finger, and then a warm kiss fell on the ring.

“Will you marry me?”-“I’d love to.” It was the same day seven years ago.

She stood beside Jacob in a clean dress, happy to see him again and extremely sad about her impending parting.

She clumsily hid her mind and dared not let anyone find out, no matter how close she was.

She imagined that she must go to his side one day.

It must have never occurred to Ashley at that time that seven years later, the day she had imagined had really come.

As she wanted, Ashley really became the person around Jacob.
