Nancy spat a mouthful of water and almost choked on it. "Who told you that song was for him? I wrote that for you!" Though she felt a little embarrassed saying it out loud.However, she felt wronged by the thought of Yaacob misunderstanding her.Immediately, Yaacob looked blank and put on a surprised look. "What did you say?" "You heard me clearly. Don't try to fool me into repeating it. Who told you that my song was for Spencer? I really wish I could make that person listen to my songs ten times to make sure that person understands the true meaning of my songs!" "It was Karter," Yaacob shamelessly threw his good friend under the bus. "Didn't the media say the same thing?" "Oh, that's why I've been telling you how much you're missing out for not watching the entertainment news! Never trust the media. They interpret things according to their whims. Because the truth is too bland, they need sensational stories. What do you think would stir up discussions the most? Love triangle
After boarding, Nancy could not stop thinking about what Todd wanted to tell her earlier. Yaacob noticed her staring at her phone, and asked, "What's wrong?""I'm a bit worried about my friend."Nancy vaguely remembered that she heard a strange noise before Todd hung up.Todd would never freak out like that. She was sure he had something important to tell her."If you're worried, you can call him back after we land," Yaacob suggested."Okay." Nancy nodded and rested her head on his shoulder. She felt that having him by her side made her feel a lot more at ease, no matter what happened."Do you want to sleep?""Yeah, please wake me up later."Nancy used him as a pillow, leaning her entire upper body against his. Yaacob then asked a flight attendant for a blanket and gently covered Nancy with it.As the flight attendant walked away, she could not help but gaze at Yaacob with admiration. She figured he was from a wealthy family judging by his expensive clothing and the watc
After dinner, Nancy and Yaacob returned to their room.The room seemed to have been prepared in advance. The bedsheets and covers were all new and had a fresh scent of soap and sunshine. The vibrant red and purple colors of the bed sheets made it feel especially festive. Nancy finally understood about the colorful underwear Yaacob kept in the room next door. "Mr. Getson, this place feels like a vacation hotel. It's so comfortable."She opened the window, allowing the night breeze to enter. It was gentle and cool, having a faint scent of flowers and plants. Combined with the countless stars that were rarely seen in the city, the view was simply breathtaking."Really? How about staying a few more days?" asked Yaacob."Sure, I think Grandma might feel lonely by herself. We could stay and keep her company. This place is so comfortable. It's making me feel like staying here forever."Nancy reached out as if to embrace the night breeze blowing in through the window. Suddenly, Yaacob
Seeing Sharon behind her, Nancy quickly took her feet off Yaacob and pretended to be washing the vegetables. However, it was futile. Sharon had heard what she said.She walked up to Nancy and asked, "Are you saying you refused to bear children for my grandson?""Grandma, she was just joking," Yaacob stepped in to defuse the situation."Yeah, Grandma. I was just kidding," Nancy quickly followed suit.What she said was merely an attempt to gauge Yaacob's reaction, but it had triggered Sharon instead. Sharon was furious. She stared at Nancy as if she were a criminal who murdered her great-grandson.Nancy understood that many elderly people could not accept that, which was normal. She did not even dare to bring it up with her own grandfather. Initially, she planned to discuss it with Yaacob first. After persuading him, only they would find a way to convince both sides of their grandparents. However, that had become a massive challenge.Seeing that Nancy was unable to explain
"Yaacob's mother, Debbie Schuman is my eldest daughter.""How many daughters do you have?""Two, and a son. Don't interrupt me and listen carefully.""Okay.""She was our firstborn, and back then, we didn't know how to discipline her. We spoiled her too much, which led her to make poor choices, falling for that punk from the Getson family. At that time, Damon Getson wasn't as prominent as he is now. He was just an illegitimate child. You've met the Getsons before. You should know how those old-fashioned folks think of illegitimate children, right?"Nancy could not help but frown every time she recalled hearing others in the Getson family badmouth Yaacob. She never thought that Damon was also an illegitimate child."Let me tell you, the Schuman family was quite influential in the South at that time. Originally, only the Getson family's eldest son was qualified to marry into our family. Who would have thought that Damon, that cunning punk, would secretly entice Debbie to elope an
Nancy got up from the sofa and switched on the computer. The moment she looked up Yaacob's name, the first thing that popped up was a photo of that man with a crew cut while he served his sentence.When she went to the Getson family and heard from those people that he had gone to prison before and was even convicted for rape, Nancy thought they were just slandering him and paid them no mind.That was because Yaacob had told her not to trust anyone.So, when she read what was on the internet, Nancy was quite stunned.Right after that, she felt a chill in her heart.She called Todd. Nancy wanted to confirm things with him since she did not believe the internet that much."Todd, when you called me last time and said you had something important to talk about, was it about this?""That's right. I managed to find out that your husband had been to prison for rape when he was in America and wanted to tell you immediately. The phone just cut off for no reason, and I couldn't get throug
Yoana had a man next to her who seemed like her boyfriend. The two of them were picking out a tie.The moment she saw Nancy, that woman challenged, "What a coincidence. I bump into you every time shop in any big branded stores. It looks like you got yourself a lot of money after you married Yaacob."Nancy ignored her and walked right to the other side. Nancy was stuck deciding between two ties, one diagonally striped dark blue tie and a plaid black one.Yet, Yoana followed her over, "I don't think you have anything to be pleased about right now, though. The news coming out in the past two days has been so interesting. I only heard that Yaacob went to prison before, but I can't believe he committed a crime like that. Honestly, I should probably be thanking you. Thankfully, you suddenly showed up to take him away, or else all of this talk might be dragging me down instead.Nancy looked at Yoana coldly when she heard that.Yoana puffed up her chest, preparing to argue.Yet, Nancy me
This time, the interview Nancy accepted would be with a very popular station.She had deliberately picked that one, wanting to get as much exposure as possible.This time, the interview was quite different from usual as well. It would be streamed live.She would be interacting with the audience as she answered the questions from the hosts. It had not been that long since she left the entertainment industry, but Nancy never expected it to have changed so much.They had arranged to meet at two in the afternoon, but Nancy was there two hours ahead of time.She took the time to talk to the hosts before hand, looking into the questions that she would need to be answering before thinking about how she could answer them better.The hosts and director were all completely stunned by her hardworking attitude. Was that the same Nancy who loved to toss her weight around and was always late?They talked until it was two, and the stream officially started."Hello everyone tuning in. Today, w
