Jacob sent the woman’s details to the agent before introducing himself. “Just call me Jacob. You can stay here for now. I’ll buy you a phone and get you a helper.”

“Thanks,” Jessica answered gratefully before continuing, “Feel free to let me know if you need any help. I will definitely cooperate. You’re such a kind person. Why are you still single?”

Jacob sighed and replied, “Exactly. I’m baffled as well. How is it possible that a Samaritan like me is not able to find a girlfriend?”

At that moment, Jacob thought of Wyatt.

D*mn! It doesn’t make sense that that hot-tempered guy is already married and going to become a dad!

Jacob stayed in Yartran for the next four days to settle Jessica’s living arrangements.

On the fifth day, he returned to his country after that.

Not wanting to give Hazel an opportunity to nag at him, the moment Jacob reached home, he took out a photo and said, “Mom, don’t scold me. I’m dating someone now. She’s pregnant and is currently staying in Yartran to focus on her pregnancy.”

When Hazel heard that, she started hitting her son while exclaiming, “Pregnant? You’re really putting in a lot of effort just to lie to me, eh?”

Jacob yelped in pain as he tried to avoid his mother’s attacks. “Mom, I’m not lying! I took her to the hospital for a checkup. The baby is mine. Do you think I have nothing better to do than find a random person to pacify you?”

Taking a pause, he continued, “You can talk to her yourself if you don’t believe me.”

Jacob dialed a number on the phone before passing it to Hazel.

The woman remained doubtful and had a feeling that her son was lying to her. However, what she did not know was that, for the past few days, Jacob and Jessica had been going through details about themselves in anticipation of Hazel’s questioning.

As such, Jessica sounded totally convincing over the phone and managed to give Hazel a good impression. She spoke as if she had known Jacob for a long time and told Hazel that she had approached the man again after their breakup as she was not capable of raising the baby alone.

The two women chatted for around ten minutes, and after the conversation, Hazel was completely convinced.

Before the call ended, Hazel reminded gently, “Take good care of yourself and the baby. I will visit you a few days later.”

“Okay, Mom.”

After hanging up, Hazel continued hitting Jacob. “You’re really something, aren’t you? How could you have gotten someone pregnant and not know about it? The girl even had to look for you herself! Your dad is such a decent man. Why didn’t you inherit any of his good genes? You have even left her in a foreign country all by herself. Is she a disgrace to you? Even I am feeling embarrassed for you!”
