Chapter 423
Bridget could accept Daisy's blatant matchmaking before, but she could not stand it now.
"Don’t you know how old he is? Are you going to ask when we will have a child? Mom, we just got married!" Bridget could not bear to be probed by Daisy.
"I... I'm fine with Jacob. Can you all stop worrying?” Not only Daisy, but also Xavier, who asked Jacob out to drink last night, was probably worried about her marriage with Jacob.
Bridget pulled Jacob up. "It's time for us to go home."
"Bridget..."
Daisy wanted to stop her, but Mr. Jones stopped Daisy.
Obviously, Bridget didn't accept the matchmaking.
She just wanted to go with the flow.
She could be willful, but Jacob couldn't. He stood up and didn't leave with Bridget immediately. Instead, he greeted Daisy politely. "Maybe I made her angry yesterday, and now she's still angry, so she gets angry at everyone. Don't be angry with her.”
Bridget was already impatient. She pulled Jacob away and stopped at the door. Then she turned to look at Xavier. "Brother, and you, stay out of my business."
Xavier didn't seem to hear it. He put a glass of milk in front of Arya.
He had already done what he should do and say.
Now it was useless for Bridget to tell him this.
Outside the door, Bridget pulled Jacob into the car. Jacob quietly started the car and drove away. Bridget didn't seem to have calmed down yet, and her chest heaved rapidly.
Originally, she had no feelings for Jacob. They were not used to being with each other all of a sudden. Their matchmaking made her feel even more awkward.
Jacob glanced at her. "So angry?”
Bridget leaned against the window and looked out of the window. She said in a low voice, "I just feel embarrassed.”
"What's there to be embarrassed?" Jacob looked at her and felt that she was thinking too much. "How can I not know my mother well?" She was helpless. "She always felt that I was married once..." "What's wrong with being married? What era is it now? Those who haven't been married aren't necessarily pure.” Jacob didn't think there was anything wrong with it. Even if he married someone who had not been married, could he be sure that the woman was pure?
"Jacob, have you ever liked someone?" Bridget held her chin and looked at him.
Jacob was stunned for a few seconds. It seemed that when Bridget said the word "like," he thought of something very long ago.
When he was in college, he liked a girl who was in the same class as him. To be exact, he had a secret crush on her.
But it was strangled in its infancy.
Once, on the way to school, the girl and her friend walked in front of him.
Her friend asked her, "I've noticed that you've been a little strange lately. You don't usually stay in the dormitory and even stay out all night. Are you in love?"
She didn't answer.
Jacob didn't see her expression, but he could feel it as if she was acquiescing. The next second, her friend asked again, "Who is it? Is he from our class?"
She said, "No, he's the second young master of Xingyue Real Estate.”
However, Jacob was just a poor guy from the countryside. How could he deserve that kind of love? What could Jacob compare with him?
From then on, Jacob didn't like the girl anymore.
People who had never experienced it could not understand the sadness of a person who was alone in a foreign city without a powerful background. Even if he graduated from the same university as others, his interview result was inferior to others because he didn't have connections.
So after meeting Xavier, he seized the opportunity and proved himself.
But he didn't try to understand and love a woman anymore.
On the one hand, he was indeed busy. On the other hand, he didn't trust women very much. Bridget covered her lips and smiled. "Jacob, you actually haven't been in love."
Jacob looked at her. "Is that funny?”
Bridget shook her head, but her face was full of ridicule. "You're getting old, and you married me by mistake. Are you feeling that you suffered losses?"
Even Bridget felt that Jacob suffered losses.
"Are you better than me? You loved the man who hurt you so hard." Jacob didn't mean to say it. After saying it, he realized that he might have said something wrong and shouldn't have mentioned it
He thought Bridget would be angry, but she didn't. The smile on her face disappeared, and she didn't react much.
"l didn't mean to..."
"It's okay." Bridget waved her hand. Anyway, Jacob had known that, so she didn't hide it. "Did I look like a lunatic at that time?”
Jacob remained silent.
Bridget smiled. "He was the first guy I ever liked.”
Suddenly, she changed the subject. "Jacob, do you believe in fate?"
"I don't know. I didn't think about it." He was busy every day. He didn't have time to think about that.
"I believe that not all childhood sweethearts will definitely be together; the one who you meet first will not definitely be married to you; not all the efforts will definitely be rewarded; not all the people you love will love you. You can't resist your fate. Even if you work hard, you can't change your fate.” She seemed to have said this to herself, just like talking about Jasper and her.
In the past, she really tried very hard to be with Jasper, but Jasper's indifference hurt her deeply. For a moment, the atmosphere in the car changed. Jacob comforted her. "It's over. I'll send you back."
Bridget nodded.
As the car approached her place, Jacob asked her, "Are you bored at home? If you're bored, you should learn to draw or dance. Find something to kill time.”
Bridget graduated from a military school, and then followed Mr. Jones to the army. She didn't learn what ordinary girls learned. She didn't how to dance or draw, so Jacob said that.
"Let me think.” Bridget hadn't thought about it.
When the car stopped, Bridget got out of the car and asked him as she closed the door, "Will you come back for dinner tonight?"
Jacob thought about what he was going to do today and said, "Yes."
"Then I'll prepare your portion,” Bridget said calmly.
Jacob looked at her. "If I don't come back, there won't be my portion, right?"
"If you don't come back, why should I prepare your portion? That's a waste!" Bridget closed the door and turned to walk into the building.
Seeing Bridget's back disappear in the corridor, Jacob drove away and returned to the company. When he arrived at the company, Xavier's car also drove in.
He got out of the car and stood aside, waiting for a while.
Xavier parked his car and walked over.
Jacob followed Xavier when he passed by.
As he walked towards the elevator, Xavier asked, "Where does Janet live now?"
Jacob was stunned because Xavier's question was too unexpected.
Shouldn't Xavier ask about the company's recent situation?
Jacob didn't react for a moment and thought for a while before answering, "158 Tongfu Road." Jacob was puzzled. Why did Xavier ask that?
