Jacob sighed, feeling he was caught in a difficult spot.

“My mom is being unreasonable. How can she be so hasty and impatient in handling this matter? I can consider accepting her gesture if she introduced better women to me. However, all the women she set me up with on blind dates are horrible! My mom even introduced Hausen’s CEO’s daughter to me in the past, telling me how wonderful she was. D*mn it! You should’ve seen that woman in person. She scared me out of my wits with her mantrap-like appearance.”

Hearing that name, Jessica knitted her brows. “Hausen?”

“Oh. That’s a big company, but you wouldn’t know if you didn’t work in the finance industry.” Jacob didn’t sense her unusual behavior. “Regrettably, the CEO of Hausen, Justin Morales, died, and the company went bankrupt. His daughter and wife seemed to have left the country. Fortunately, his family met its downfall. Otherwise, I think I would have to cut ties with my mom because she’s fond of Justin’s daughter.”

Jacob had been curious about something. He couldn’t shake off the feeling that Justin’s death was somewhat related to Wyatt.

Otherwise, how else could they have died after he saw them off just a few moments ago?

Wyatt was even summoned to the police station because of that matter. However, he was merely detained for a few days before being released unscathed.

Seeing Jessica lowering her head in silence, Jacob asked her, “Are you not feeling well?”

“Yes. It is common for me to feel discomfort and nauseous during pregnancy.” She regained her senses and casually made up an excuse to reply to him. “It’s nothing major.”

He contemplated briefly before saying, “I’ll bring you out for dinner tonight to try some different food and buy you some clothes.”

“That’s not necessary.”

“That’s all right. We won’t be spending much anyway. Perhaps my mom will want to visit again. She will definitely be suspicious about our relationship if she sees you being mistreated.”

Jessica uttered hesitantly, “I can’t see.”

“It’s okay. You’ll be fine if you wear a pair of sunglasses and hold onto me the whole time.” Noticing the paint stains on her hands, Jacob said, “Your hands are very dirty. Do you want me to bring you to get washed up?”

“Okay.”

He brought her to the powder room and thoughtfully squeezed some liquid soap onto her palms.

Standing at one side and looking at her washing her hands, Jacob was again reminded of the drawing outside. He asked curiously, “Why did you draw a hand beside a sunflower? Is there any meaning behind the painting?”

Jessica paused briefly and answered casually, “I drew it because I thought the picture was very artistic.”

“Oh.” He nodded. She’s right. That painting is indeed artistic. Not everyone will admire and appreciate such a drawing.

Jessica needed to change her clothes as well because it was soiled. She told Jacob she could do that on her own without the housekeeper’s assistance, so he went downstairs first.
