Back in Love

Jacob's words made Lola completely speechless.

She looked at his face quietly and smiled helplessly.

Although Lola didn't know why it was so important, she couldn't let him give up since he looked so determined.

"Since it's so important to you, I have nothing to say. You can continue, but you must be careful." Lola's voice was hoarse and could be easily heard.

"I will look into it as I do. In fact, I have read the resumes of the five people, and there is no problem on the surface. You don't have to worry about the business in the company. Barry and I will take care of it! Barry is a good helper and is easy to get close to those people. I'm relieved to let him investigate."

With that, Jacob stood up, took out the red wine and poured two glasses.

One for himself, and the other for Lola.

But Lola didn't take it.

Jacob was stunned.

"Barry... I just want to borrow him from you! But I didn't expect that... Forget it. The business of the company matters..."

"Borrow Barry?" Jacob raised his eyebrows, "Why do you borrow him?"

"I happen to have something important to do, so I have to ask him for help. But after all, it's my private affair... So it didn't matter. Forget it. I can let Paul do it," Lola sighed.

Hearing that, Jacob grabbed her hand and asked nervously, "Paul? Don't he need to stay to protect you? If he leaves, I'll send someone to you. Anyway, you must have bodyguards around you from now on!" "I don't want anyone else! Except for Paul and Barry, if someone else follows me, I will feel awkward."

Jacob took a deep breath helplessly and asked gently, "Can you tell me what you want them to do? Why do you want to borrow Barry?"

Lola pursed her lips and was hesitating how to tell Jacob.

"If you don't tell me, I'll be angry."

"Is it enough to give her a dose of her own medicine?" Hearing that, Lola pursed her lips and said seriously, "It was Lily who told me that Murphy sent people to set up the company. She wanted to do something for me. I think she has known that she misunderstood you. She was not a fool. She must have figured out that Murphy was lying to her. She also said that she would help me find out the identity of that person."

"Lily... It's her..." Jacob nodded with a gleam shining in his eyes.

Lola pouted, "Yes, it's her. Without her, where did I get such important news? Murphy didn't tell me..."

"So you want to get Barry to protect Lily? By the way, you want to make a match between them?" Jacob pointed it out directly, which made Lola a little embarrassed.

She smiled slightly and said, "Well, it depends on the two of them. I just have one idea. Lily is so dangerous now, so it's better for someone familiar to get close to her... After thinking for a while, I think that it is more suitable for Barry..."

Jacob kept silent for a few seconds and then agreed, "You're right. It really has to be done by Barry. Let him protect Lily."

"What about you?" Lola blinked her eyes and said in confusion, "After all, Barry can help you. If he is not here, won't you be restricted in movement? Can you let him protect Lily?"

"Yes. Although Barry is a capable man, my men are not rubbish. They are all good and powerful! And now Lily need him. I don't have to take her place! What if Barry knows that I have stopped this job for the Gu Group and blames me in his heart?"

Unexpectedly, when Jacob was still complaining about Barry, Lola stuck out her tongue and smiled, "That's good."

"Barry can protect Lily while working." While Jacob was talking, he saw the sharp light cast by Lola, so he had to say, "Of course, his main job is to protect Lily."

"That's great. As long as I don't delay your work. Lily helped me so much. I also want to try to help her. As for whether this matter can succeed or not, it depends on their luck. I can't help them with dating, getting married and having children..."

"Save your energy. Don't think about others. Take good care of yourself. As for Paul, he'd better stay with you." Jacob drank up the glass in his hand, looking preoccupied.

Lola didn't know what was wrong with her. She took the initiative to ask, "Why do you begin to agree with Paul? Didn't you doubt him before and don't want him to stay?" Jacob looked at Lola deeply and smiled bitterly. "I think he is very loyal to you..."

'He can even help you lie,' Jacob thought.

Hearing this, Lola blushed and felt nervous.

Jacob's words seemed to mean something, making Lola very uneasy.

But Jacob didn't feel anything wrong. He pushed the red wine to Lola's side and asked, "Why don't you drink it? Don't you like this bottle of wine? I specially opened it for you."

Lola blinked, looked at Jacob in confusion and shook her head. "I don't want to drink it now. It's too late. I'll go back to sleep."

For a moment, the two of them were a little embarrassed.

Different from the hot atmosphere when they were discussing business before, now when they calmed down, they began to think of each other's thoughts. Both of them felt a little uneasy and embarrassed. The atmosphere became subtle.

Lola stood up and wanted to go out.

Jacob really wanted her to stay. Without hesitation, he held her hand and said, "Sleep here. Don't worry. I won't touch you."

Hearing this, Lola felt even sadder.

She thought in her mind, 'What is this?

The husband and wife should have lived together, but now he says he won't touch me and tells me not to worry?

As a wife, I am so bad!'

Tears welled up in Lola's eyes.

She immediately turned around and hugged Jacob, sobbing, "Don't... Don't say that... I feel sad..."

Jacob patted Lola on the back and comforted her, "What happened all of a sudden? I didn't make you cry, did I? Why do you feel sad? I promise you that I won't make you uncomfortable. I just want to be with you. Really! I have kept my promise before, right? If you don't like it, I won't do it."

"Who said I don't like it? If I don't like you to touch me. How could I marry you?" Lola blurted out with tears all over her face.

Jacob was a little flustered. He didn't want to see her cry. He held her in his arms and shook her. "Don't cry. I like it, too. We both like it."

"Jacob, why don't you touch me? Why not you? Why not yours?" Lola sobbed and murmured to herself.

Jacob asked, "What are you talking about?"

"Why not you?!"
