Natasha looked at the cake on Jacob's plate and asked in surprise, "You like cake?""Is it not allowed?""It's not that..." Natasha hesitated, wanting to say that men who like cake are rare, as it's sweet and they might find it too much, plus they might worry about gaining weight. Moreover, he seems to enjoy junk food like popcorn and cola."Is it just because it might make you gain weight?" Jacob asked again."It's convenient that way," Natasha said.After all, after several months, their past grievances had already been forgotten, and Natasha's tone was much better."Do I look fat to you?" he asked her.She casually glanced at him and then averted her eyes nervously.Currently, he was wearing a military green T-shirt, looking very graceful with broad shoulders.Perhaps he knew that his physique was good and deliberately flaunted it in front of her to draw her attention to his well-built body."Not fat. It's good," Natasha said, "but your eating habits..."Natasha expressed
After Natasha finished speaking, Paul seemed to recall something and laughed heartily. This smile irritated Jacob a lot.No wonder Natasha said she had feelings for Bangkok's scenery and people last time. He hadn't given it much thought before, but now he realized she must have been referring to this Paul, someone she had a childhood connection with, maybe even a childhood sweetheart.Surely, Natasha was depicting her past with this Paul in the movie.Jacob once whimsically thought maybe Natasha likes him."Oh, you were neighbors when you were seven or eight years old?" Jacob pretended to be interested."Seven or eight, I think," Natasha replied, uncertain. She asked Paul beside her inquiringly and spoke a few words to him in Tashallian."Yes, you were seven, and I was eleven," Paul said. "I was in fifth grade, and you were in second grade.""Right," Natasha smiled with nostalgia as if she was transported back to the time when they attended the same school, going to school toget
Initially, Zoe wanted to stay far away from Jacob, but the last time she got a divorce, it was thanks to his help. So, she should thank him. She wanted to go to her room to sleep, but she wouldn't be able to sleep with a headache, so she might as well sip some sour plum soup first.There weren't many people in the restaurant yet. Jacob sat there drinking tea alone. He didn't seem to be in a good mood.He did not make a fuss when he saw Zoe.Hence, the three of them sat at a table for four. Herald and Zoe sat on one side, and Jacob sat on the other.Herald thoughtfully ordered a cup of sour plum soup for Zoe to relieve her heat."CEO Lawrence, it's all thanks to you that I got a divorce. Thank you," Zoe said."Huh?" Jacob seemed to have just come back to his senses. "It's just a small matter. Don't take it to heart."After Jacob finished speaking, he asked the waiter to take the menu and order. Herald specially ordered a cup of sour plum soup."Why are you drinking sour plum sou
Natasha and Paul might have finished discussing. Now, they were chatting casually.Jacob realized that Natasha had been looking out of the floor-to-ceiling window with a cup of tea in her hand. She did not turn around, as if she was engrossed in something. Not long after, Paul also turned his head, and the two of them looked out of the floor-to-ceiling window.Following their gazes, Jacob then saw an open-air swimming pool that reflected the lights outside. It was blue, clear and very beautiful.Then, Paul said something and the two of them laughed.Jacob could not understand a word."Paul said, 'Do you remember when you were young, you stayed outside for a long time because of this? My parents and I were worried for a long time. Natasha said, 'I remember.'" Herald knew Tashallian, so he said to Jacob considerately."For what?" Jacob asked."I don't know."Jacob snorted coldly. "This fella really has a lot of exclusive memories."When the dishes were served, Jacob stopped look
"Don't go. They're all my friends. They're in a relationship. If they get into a fight, it's hard for an honest official to resolve family matters. Don't go and end up in a bad situation." Herald took two small refrigerators from his friend's car and stood beside the security guard with his friend.The two security guards looked at each other.However, Herald knew very well what they were thinking. They just wanted to go over and go through the motions to show that they were here and not do anything."Let's go," Herald said to his friend."Herald, you're staying in a hotel and you even troubled me to make you green bean soup. What kind of scripture are you reciting?" Herald's friend asked him."If I didn't find this excuse, would a busy person like you come out?" Herald said as the two of them entered the hall.The two security guards stood beside the pool. However, from the looks of it, the two of them did not look like they were being molested at all. Instead, it was really lik
Paul slowly replied, "Oh, oh." Then, he walked into the hotel lobby and borrowed a bathrobe from the front desk. He knew that Natasha was wearing a white T-shirt, so it was as if she was not wearing it when she was wet. Although there were few people in the courtyard and the light was dim, Natasha had to pass through the lobby to return to her room. There were many people in the lobby, so he borrowed a bathrobe for Natasha…On the other side of the pool, Natasha had just come ashore when she was covered in water. Her shoes were nowhere to be found.Jacob then went ashore. He casually pulled up the towel he had brought just now and wrapped it around Natasha. Then, he carried her horizontally…It was quite light, probably no more than a hundred.Natasha frowned angrily. In her impression, Jacob was still entangled with Zoe. He had paid for Zoe to get a divorce, which was the best example. However, he was treating her like this. If he wasn't half-hearted, what was?"Don't move. If yo
Originally, Jacob wanted to pull Natasha onto him, but gradually, he pulled Natasha under him and looked at her. In his opinion, as long as Natasha liked him, he could have her. He would no longer be uneasy.After kissing Natasha, Natasha stopped resisting.However, her gaze, which was fixed on him, was cold and distant.It did not look like the gaze of someone who was afraid of society at all. Instead, it looked like the gaze of someone who was watching this world coldly.This gaze frightened Jacob so much that he immediately lost the mood to take advantage of her."Didn't you like me in the beginning?" Jacob asked Natasha."It's my fault. Initially, I judged people based on their appearance. This, in my opinion, is not ideal. You're shallow, illiterate, uneducated, and uneducated. You don't take things seriously when you make fun of and disgrace others. I'm blind! Get lost!" Natasha said fiercely.When Jacob heard this, he said sternly, "So, you still liked me at the beginning
"Wow, what a sad story," Jacob pretended to say indifferently.His tone made Natasha's heart turn cold again. He and she had always been at different times."I've let him down." After saying that, Natasha lowered her head guiltily. "Although his parents didn't blame me, they've been quite cold to me since that incident. After all, their son became like this because of me. At least, he's not as enthusiastic as before. Later on, my father completed his research in Tashall, so we moved. We haven't seen each other for a few years, but I haven't been able to let go of this matter. This time, I met him at the hotel because his parents suddenly died in a car accident. He came back to mourn, so he sold his house and stayed in a hotel.""His parents have passed away. Doesn't that mean that there are no obstacles for you two to be together?" Jacob's hand that was flicking the cigarette ash stopped for a moment. His heart ached terribly. He knew that it was inappropriate for him to say this, b
Benjamin walked to her side and suddenly hugged her. It was as if there were thousands of words that could not be said. Jacey did not refute. It was as if the two of them had known each other for a long time. It was as if they had known each other for a long time."Your mother did a good job with this exhibition," Jacey said."It's good. After all, you're an expert in this field," Benjamin said. "Or if you have any requests when you get married, tell my mother and let her customize the most beautiful jewelry for you.""Married?" Jacey didn't understand.She had never thought about marriage. Why did she feel so close to her when Benjamin mentioned it?She still felt quite confused."I'll treat you to a meal later?" Benjamin said. "What do you want to eat?"Jacey's eyes lit up. "Hotpot? How about a hotpot?"Benjamin smiled and said, "I thought you had a profound hobby. This is it."Jacey smiled again.Jacey didn't like the feeling of being surrounded by people, so she chose the
Kenny smoked as he spoke. He had the look of a veteran in society. It was hard not to believe that he was a nouveau riche who did not hesitate to sacrifice the lives of his subordinates to save money."Sir, you've found the right person. Come and take a look." The workshop owner said. Then, he whispered a few words into Kenny's ear and asked, "Can you accept it?""What's so unacceptable about that? I'm definitely showing it to Party A. These people grew up in the countryside. What kind of milk have they drunk? I can't tell if it's true or not," Kenny said."Alright, alright," the workshop owner said with a smile."Just don't make it obvious. I'll go take a look at the manufacturing workshop." Kenny said.The owner of the workshop was initially quite shy, but Kenny said that he had ordered a lot, so the other party agreed.As soon as he entered the workshop, Jacey secretly turned on the pinhole camera when the workshop owner was not paying attention and filmed the production proce
Jacey felt that under Kenny's serious and unsmiling appearance, there was a soft and warm heart.This note looked like it had been around for a long time. It was unknown how long Kenny searched last night before he found it and gave it to Jacey so easily.Jacey left.However, she did not expect that something would happen on her first day there.She brought a vacuum camera and made her clothes look like rural women's. After finding the milk production point, she said that she wanted to order milk in large quantities because she heard that the milk here was very cheap.The people in the workshop looked at each other and said, "I'm not selling!"The people in the workshop were very smart and vigilant. Their workshop had a fixed delivery channel. This woman was alone and was unlikely to be here to order. They found an excuse and sent Jacey away.No matter how much Jacey dawdled, the other party refused to let her in.For a moment, Jacey didn't know what to do. She was quite depres
Jacey was a little stunned. She really didn't know much about what the parents were talking about.Moreover, she hadn't interacted with Benjamin for a few days. Moreover, when Ashlyn came to visit this time, she didn't say a word about him. It made her feel very uneasy. She even wondered if he didn't mean that at all. It was all her own wishful thinking…For the past few days, Benjamin had not come to look for Jacey. She had not contacted him either.However, a few days later, Jacey received a Whatsapp message from Benjamin. There were many photos. It was a rather high-class living room. There were boxes in the living room. The living room was simple and noble, like a top-notch courtyard house.[This is the showroom and display cabinet for my mother's medieval jewelry. How about letting your mother take a look?] Benjamin said.[Where is this place? This place is so beautiful.][My mother's dowry. The courtyard house in Genovia.] Benjamin said.Jacey thought to herself, "As expec
Today, Benjamin had already returned home."How is it? How's your first time meeting your in-laws alone?" Calvin teased Ashlyn."It's quite good. I'm preparing to hold a medieval jewelry exhibition and then let my employees learn medieval video skills. I said that I wanted to use their jewelry as an exhibition, but they didn't even want the deposit. How generous," Ashlyn said lazily as she leaned against the sofa."It's… it's over?" Calvin looked at Ashlyn and said in surprise.Benjamin sat there and smiled."What else?" Ashlyn asked."What are you going to do this time? Aren't you going to look for your daughter-in-law? Did you see what she looked like?" Calvin poured a cup of tea for Ashlyn.After so many years, Ashlyn still hadn't changed from her usual macho self. In fact, she was even more macho than before. Perhaps Calvin had been the one to deal with everything after marriage, developing Ashlyn's habit of not using her brain.Of course, it only meant that she didn't use
For some reason, Ashlyn felt like crying when she saw this. In the past, these jewelry had traveled to another country. Now, these jewelry were all back with stories.She thought about how the person who owned these jewelry had brought them overseas and brought them back…She felt that the Irving family was worthy of admiration.Linda had gone out at some point. Seeing that Ashlyn was looking at her very seriously, she didn't disturb her.When she came in again, she was carrying a cup of coffee. The fragrant Americano she'd just ordered from the coffee machine on the first floor. It was made from good coffee beans.She handed the coffee to Ashlyn."Have a cup of coffee when you're tired. Anyway, these jewelry don't have long legs. They won't run away on their own," Linda said. "You can come and take a look whenever you want. I've always been here."Only then did Ashlyn feel that she had been watching for an hour or two, but she had always been like a pious primary school student
On Saturday afternoon, Ashlyn drove to Jacey's house, a very simple villa.Ashlyn knew that writers liked to live in such a quiet place because they had inspiration in such a place.Jacey's mother, Linda, was already standing on her steps to welcome her.Linda was dressed in a Chinese-style robe. She looked very ancient, but because she was slender, she looked especially good. She looked like a fairy.Ashlyn was dressed in a very fashionable modern outfit. She was wearing a knee-length skirt, pearl earrings, and earrings. She looked especially round and beautiful. One look and one could tell that she was the kind of person who had never experienced the blow of life."I'm Jacey's mother. Nice to meet you, Mrs. Conrad." Linda reached out and held Isobel's hand. "Jacey said that you're coming to our house to take a look. I am so happy. I specially brought all the jewelry from the other houses here and packed them up. If these jewelry can be displayed in the exhibition and let everyon
"Excuse me, how did you know about me?" Jacey asked."Oh, Benjamin's phone was on the table that day. He went to the washroom and I happened to see the photo album he was looking through. I picked it up and saw these few pieces of jewelry. You know it too. As jewelry makers, we won't let go of those rare jewelry no matter what. I asked Benjamin where these pieces of jewelry came from and he told me about you," Ashlyn said neither servile nor overbearing.She understood a girl's mentality very well. She knew that if the woman found out that the man had taken the initiative to leak her news to her parents, she would be very disgusted and feel passive. Therefore, she did not say that. Instead, she said that she had seen it herself. She even said that Benjamin was looking at these photos at that time.Jacey's heart would probably feel warm. After all, a man was looking at her photo behind her back. She should have a good impression of this man.Jacey really thought so. When she heard A
After Benjamin returned home, he showed Ashlyn the jewelry he had taken for Jacey.Ashlyn was very knowledgeable. One look at this jewelry and she knew that it was priceless.Moreover, the girl wearing the jewelry also had extremely good skin and was extremely delicate.Calvin, who was sitting at the side, also watched.However, Ashlyn didn't just look at the jewelry. She said, "You only bought jewelry. Who is this person wearing jewelry behind you?"Ashlyn asked Benjamin gossipily."Don't ask," Benjamin said.Ashlyn smiled. "You said that you only took photos of the jewelry but didn't take photos of her. Aren't you trying to arouse my curiosity? Now that I'm curious, you're not making a move. However, I've been working on researching National Jewelry recently, so I'm lacking samples in this area. When are you going to ask this girl out? Let me take a closer look. From her appearance, I think she's dressed very well. Moreover, I can see her face from her bone structure. I think
