Seeing Matilda promise to let him take her to the bedroom, Jacob was overjoyed with excitement. Ever since Matilda had come back to Oskia, Jacob had been looking forward to having the opportunity to relive his old dreams with her. Finally, today marked the beginning of something to look forward to. Under normal circumstances, Matilda was beautiful, dignified, and very independent. It was not easy to approach such a woman. However, Jacob knew in his heart that no matter how strong a woman’s heart was, she would unmistakably become a damsel in distress when she fell sick. At this time, no matter how powerful a woman was, she would surely drop all of her defenses. Jacob graciously helped Matilda into the elevator of the villa and took it all the way to the third floor. After Matilda had directed Jacob to assist her to the bedroom, she lay on the bed with his help. Jacob graciously helped her place two pillows behind her so that she could lean against the soft bed comfortably
With that being said, he hurriedly took another spoonful and fed it to Matilda. Matilda had had no appetite at all, but when she thought of having her energy replenished and the importance of nutrition, she forced herself to open her mouth and ate a spoonful of millet porridge. What surprised her was that as soon as the millet porridge entered her abdomen, she felt an extraordinary flow of heat flowing down the throat and into her stomach. It then dissolved in her stomach and warmed her entire body. This warm current was very rare for Matilda, who had been feeling cold all the time. She felt a lot more comfortable instantly. She couldn’t help but praise, “Jacob, this millet porridge is indeed comfortable to consume!” Jacob smiled and said, “That’s for sure! I have studied all kinds of health knowledge and am very experienced in it! In the past, when you were in the United States, it’s most likely that your lifestyle had been westernized. They only know when to take medications,
Jacob was stunned by the scene in front of him before he could even finish saying the word ‘bath’.Right then, Matilda had gotten out of bed and was standing by the bed.The down jacket had been taken off her body and she wore only a home singlet, not to mention that the sleeves on both sides were pushed up above her elbows.How was Matilda so different at this time as compared to that sickly look just now?!Looking at her, it could be said that she was in a state of excellent spirit. Her complexion was rosy and lustrous…What was more exaggerated was that at this time, Matilda, who was stretching her arms forcefully, may have felt that it was not enough to relieve the tension. So, she simply jumped twice.Jacob was dumbfounded. After being amazed for quite some time, he finally came back to his senses. He stammered and asked, "That… Matilda… You… How did you get out of bed?!"Matilda said with a strong voice, "Jacob! I feel completely well thanks to your bowl of millet porridge
As he thought of this, Jacob could only say begrudgingly, "Well, since you want to run, I will definitely have to accompany you, then!""That's great!" Matilda was busy saying, "In that case, you can go out first. I'll change my clothes quickly and we'll leave immediately!""Okay..." Jacob, who was depressed, could only agree, turn around dejectedly, and go out the door.This bedroom, originally in his eyes, was the tender place he had left behind for almost thirty years.But now, he could only stand outside the door, waiting for Matilda to change her clothes inside.The key was that Matilda, after changing her clothes, was dragging him to go running…The depressed Jacob let out a long sigh, covering his face with one hand and holding his head with the other as he squatted down in front of Matilda's bedroom.As he was squatting down, he was still thinking, 'What went wrong in the end?! It's hard to believe that the millet porridge really had such a magical effect!'After three
While Jacob was running after Matilda by the riverside until his legs were almost broken, Charlie was only a few kilometers away from the Moore family's manor in the far suburbs of Aurous Hill.At this moment, in the banquet hall of the Moore family's manor, the father and daughter of the Ito family as well as Emi and Tanaka were talking with Lord Moore, who was accompanied by Jasmine.The cooperation between the Moore family and Nippon Steel was all because of Charlie, who had cured the chairman of Nippon Steel, Shinwa, but it was also thanks to Yahiko who had made the bridge.Moreover, after being saved by Charlie, Jasmine had also been under the Ito family’s care when she had encountered an accident in Japan.Therefore, Lord Moore was very polite to his guests.As for Nanako, she was busy whispering away with Jasmine. The two kept exchanging pleasantries and laughed uncontrollably from time to time, just like good sisters.The Akita dog that Nanako had brought with her was lyi
As Aurora stroked the head of the Akita pup, she looked at Nanako with an expectant face and asked, "Nanako, is this dog really for me?!""Yes!" Nanako nodded and smiled before saying seriously, "His name is Momotaro, and he is a little boy. Although he is a boy, he is very good-tempered and gentle. From now on, please take good care of him!"Aurora was very excited, and she said gratefully, "Nana-chan, thank you so much!"Nanako laughed, "We are all friends, why are you being so polite!"Aurora said with a red face, "I… I am embarrassed… I never had the chance to say sorry for hurting you like that in the competition before..."Nanako replied, "Since it was a competition, there are bound to be losses and wins. Some people will get injured. We were all competing fairly, so there is no need to be sorry. You must not take it to heart."Aurora said sheepishly, "But… But… I was..."All of a sudden, Aurora did not know how to explain.After struggling for a moment, Aurora ground her
Hearing the two talk about being saved by Charlie, Aurora was a little lost all of a sudden.With Momotaro in her arms, she sat on the floor and sighed, "Hey, suddenly I envy you guys so much..."The two couldn't help but look at her at the same time. Jasmine opened her mouth and asked, "Aurora, what are you envious of us for?"Aurora said seriously, "I envy you all for having the experience of being saved by Master Wade! Why have I not encountered such a thing..."Nanako hurriedly interrupted her and said offhandedly, "Aurora, don't talk nonsense! This kind of thing is not a joke!""That's right!" Jasmine also said very seriously, "Don’t talk nonsense! The most important thing is to be safe and sound!" Aurora said softly, "But… But I really envy you guys..."Jasmine and Nanako saw her stubbornness, and they could not help but look at each other simultaneously with a bitter smile. On one hand, the two were surprised at Aurora's odd thinking, and on the other hand, they
Jasmine nodded in admiration and lamented, "Maybe there is no one else other than him, just like a flower that can attract so many butterflies as well..." At this moment, several men in another corner of the banquet hall were also talking to each other happily. As everyone chatted, Lord Moore looked at Graham and smiled, "By the way, Mr. Quinton, don't you have a lot of business exporting to Japan recently? In the future, you can get in touch with Mr. Ito to see if there is any good direction for cooperation."Yahiko asked curiously, "Oh? Mr. Quinton also has business in Japan?"Graham nodded and said truthfully, "To be honest, I was initially in the medicinal herb business originally only for the domestic market in Oskia. However, recently, the export volume from Oskia to Japan has surged, accounting for half of all my medicinal herb sales, and it is still growing."Yahiko asked in surprise, "Mr. Quinton, is the amount supplied to Japan that large?"Graham said with a res
