“What would you like to eat? I’ll make it for you.”

“I’m not picky. I like whatever you make.” Jacob took a sip of water from his glass and flashed Angeline a bright smile.

He was a sight for sore eyes, lifting Angeline’s spirits.

If she were still in high school, she would have fallen for him like Floretta did.

However, at present, she could only view Jacob as a younger brother.

Angeline carried the bags to the kitchen and started washing the pots, cleaning the vegetables, and boiling some water.

After a while, Jacob followed her into the kitchen, grabbed an apron from the cabinet, and deftly tied it around his waist.

“Angie, it’s kind of boring sitting there and doing nothing, so I’ll give you a hand.”

Angeline took him up on his offer, pointing to the vegetables in the basin and instructing, “You can help me pluck the vegetables.”

“Sure,” Jacob agreed readily. He rolled up his sleeves and skillfully plucked the vegetables as if he had done it countless times before.

Ding dong!

The sound of the doorbell abruptly shattered the harmonious ambiance.

Angeline had gloves on because she was tending to the fish, so Jacob opened the door instead.

He was astonished to see who was standing outside the door. “Mr. Golding?”

Evander stood outside, holding Floretta’s hand. The man had forgotten to take away his daughter’s phone after getting off work, so the girl ended up seeing news about Angeline when she woke up. As such, she wouldn’t stop yammering about coming to visit Angeline.

Evander had no choice but to bring her over. However, he did not expect Jacob to be at Angeline’s place at such a late hour. His expression immediately darkened.
