Brook had prepared himself emotionally, but the moment he saw Jonas appear at the door, he was completely stunned. Despite the mental preparation he had done beforehand, he didn't follow the original script and instead went up to hug his elder brother, bursting into tears.Brook cried and said, "Brother, why haven't you come back all these years?"The two brothers were quite close, and even Queta was moved to tears, while Jacob also showed some emotions.Only Cecilia stood on the side, acting as if nothing was happening.After the two elder brothers caught up on old times, Jonas introduced Cecilia, "This is your sister-in-law, Cecilia, whom you've already met.""I've met her, I've met her," Brook lowered his posture and started praising Cecilia, "Sister-in-law, your demeanour is really great."Cecilia smiled politely.As they sat down to eat, Brook served the dishes that Jonas used to love."Brother, this is the roasted chicken with corn that you used to love so much. I special
Cecilia and Jonas returned to Emmeria, and Jacob had booked first-class tickets for them and brought many gifts.Cecilia said, "Jacob, we appreciate your kindness, but we can't carry so many things, and it's troublesome on the plane.""No worries. I've already arranged for someone from my brother's company to pick you up. Once you check in your luggage, you'll be fine," Jacob reassured.Cecilia thought to herself, “Even my own son wouldn't do this for me.”Unfortunately, Natasha had been busy these past few days and couldn't spare any time. Even when Cecilia called her, she seemed indifferent towards Jacob. Once Cecilia returned to Emmeria, she would have to educate Natasha for being so clueless.Although she had forbidden Natasha from dating, that was because she had been "once bitten, twice shy" by Jonas's actions. But if there was a good man, especially someone like Jacob, who excelled in all aspects and had never been in a relationship, she might reconsider.After Jonas and C
Natasha followed the sound and saw Jacob standing near the door, leaning against the wall, looking at her with a smirk.Seeing her looking at him, he made an OK gesture with his hand.She furrowed her brows, not understanding the meaning behind his actions.But she didn't bother with him further because she was busy. No matter how he tried to provoke her, she had to complete her own tasks.Finally, they finished filming, and Natasha walked past Jacob with a gloomy expression to get some boxed meals."What's wrong? You're ignoring me now?" He playfully lifted her chin with his finger, facing the crowd that was getting boxed meals."What are you doing? Do you not know how to respect others?" She grew irritated and started shouting at him.As a result, everyone's attention turned towards them, as if they were witnessing a hooligan Jacob.After shouting, she felt a bit regretful. She thought he would glare at her, but he didn't. He just kept looking at her with an expression that s
After Joshua told Jacob about the incident, Jacob seemed quite relaxed about it. He wasn't as hot-headed as Joshua."Why are you so indifferent?" Joshua asked. "Aren't you worried about Natasha?""Because I believe Natasha put her heart into the script. Even if Wendy uses some underhanded methods, she won't be able to overwhelm Natasha. Her counterfeit work will be exposed first, followed by Natasha's authentic work. When there's a comparison, everyone will see who is better and who is worse. So, what's there to worry about?" Jacob said, then went back to his room to sleep.Left alone, Joshua suddenly felt like he was no match for Jacob. In comparison, he appeared to be a jumping clown. He couldn't adapt as well to changing situations as Jacob.Although Jacob spoke like that, Joshua still felt uneasy. Even though Natasha was talented, what if the other party played dirty?He couldn't rest assured, so he decided to visit their filming set another day. He had already asked his subor
Joshua was about to return to his room when he patted Jacob's shoulder."I'll go back to my room first, Jacob," Joshua said.Jacob's entire face was creased with his shoulder sinking down on the side that was patted. It seemed like he couldn't lift it, and his face twisted in pain."What's wrong?" Joshua was very worried. When he patted Jacob just now, he happened to hit the wound, probably reopening it. Blood seeped through the bandage and his clothes.Joshua's scalp went numb at the sight of the blood."Did you get into a fight with someone?" Joshua forgot about going back to the room and sat down to help Jacob take off his clothes, removing the bandage. Then he fetched some antiseptic and applied it to the wound. "Do you have more bandages?""In my room," Jacob said.Joshua stood up to fetch the bandages from Jacob's room and rewrapped the wound."Bro, can you be a bit gentler?" Jacob finally regained some composure after the pain was alleviated."What exactly happened?" Jo
After finishing work in the afternoon, Natasha sat by the monitor on the set, fiddling with her phone. In the end, she removed Jacob from her blocked contact.She even exchanged a few words with Jacob on Whatsapp, ‘The security scenes of your company have been completed. I happen to be going to your company to settle some bills.’This message dazzled Jacob's eyes. ‘You removed me from the blacklist? Your messages are always about money.’‘Indeed. When are you available? I finish work after 4:30 in the afternoon.’‘Then come in the afternoon.’Natasha didn't reply again, indicating her agreement.Jacob thought, “Does she know that I got injured? Is she really coming to settle the bills or just to check on me?”If she doesn't know that he got hurt, should he tell her?Thinking of this, Jacob unbuttoned the second button of his black shirt. This way, the gauze on his wound would be visible. “If she cares, she'll ask; if she doesn't, then so be it,” he thought.He will treat her
Natasha remembered that Jacob had never been in a romantic relationship, and her mood suddenly improved. She smiled and said, "True, you've never taken off your clothes in front of any woman, so it must be a bit awkward.""Oh my god, Natasha, you..." Jacob got anxious. He had already stood up from his chair and wanted to argue with Natasha behind him. "Do you really have to point that out?""I'm not pointing anything out!" She had already skillfully removed his gauze, disinfected the wound with alcohol, applied medicine, and then rewrapped it with gauze. "You dare to move again!"Her wrapping was particularly tight, and he was having a hard time breathing. He didn't expect that a seemingly delicate young lady would have such strength and skill.And from her position, she could see his abdominal muscles from a high angle, which was quite... enticing."Have you learned this?" he asked her.Natasha snapped out of her daze. "Uh, I learned it from... my father. He often went into the
Joshua smiled with a sense of accomplishment. It seemed that Sylvia's subtle hints had worked, and Natasha had gone to see Jacob."Natasha does care about you," Joshua said.Jacob's hand kept tapping on the table. "Brother, don't mess with Wendy's crew. Since they want to film, just let them do it.""You think I can let them be so arrogant?" Joshua frowned. It wasn't just about opposing the crew; the key was that this film starred Sylvia. Messing with her was equivalent to messing with him. He couldn't tolerate that.Sylvia was carrying his child. If she got angry, it would be much more serious."Of course not." Jacob looked straight ahead, showing a particularly shrewd look. The crew had injured him today, and it seemed that this crew was quite unscrupulous. If it weren't for today's incident, he might have let it go because he trusted Natasha's abilities.However, with what happened today, Jacob couldn't just let it pass so easily. "Once they finish filming, but the film can't
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
