His Precious Love

Chapter 535

Chapter 535

Half an hour later, Jacob brought her back home.

As he was dragging Jessica into the house, he said, “Things are getting busy at Norwal City, so I won't be able to come so often. Just call me if you need anything. Also, let the housekeeper know where you will like to go. I paid her an exorbitant amount just to take care of you. Don't worry about being a bother. Okay?”

“I understand.” With that, Jessica followed him into the house.

She leaned on the shoe rack to remove her shoes when Jacob stopped her. “It's difficult for you. Allow me.”

Jacob then proceeded to remove her flats and put on a pair of comfy bedroom slippers for her.

Jessica found it awkward. She wanted to thank him but did not want him to tell her off. Instead, she pursed her lips and asked, “Is your company also in Norwal City? So, do you know Glory?”

Ever since she arrived at Yartran, she had not been in touch with Rayna.

“Yes, I'm aware of it. That company sells cosmetics.” After changing her shoes for her, Jacob did the same for himself. “Recently, something major happens in Glory. I suppose you aren't aware of it.”

“What is it?”

“Norwal City is a branch of Glory. Do you remember they have new CEO and vice CEO a few months ago? The new CEO is of mixed blood, and he is about to get married to the vice CEO, Rayna. Guess what happened when the two of them stepped into the church?”

Jacob tutted before continuing excitedly, “Mr. Faymon showed up and stole the bride! Oh my! At that moment, I was shell-shocked. I heard about the rumors between Rayna and Mr. Faymon, but I didn't expect him to have the guts to kidnap the bride.”

Jessica exclaimed and looked startled.

Since she lost her eyesight, she hardly ever listened to the news, so she had no idea that something of such magnitude had taken place.

It turned out that the wedding between Rayna and Jefferson nearly happened.

After she got over the excitement, she asked Jacob, “So what happened afterward? Did Rayna and the CEO of Glory got married?”

“After what Mr. Faymon did, of course, the wedding did not take place.” Jacob then gasped and added, “The PR department of Faymon Group is very efficient indeed. Within a few hours, they managed to block off all the news regarding the fiasco. There was hardly any uproar at all.”

He then asked Jessica out of curiosity, “Why did you ask me about Glory? Do you know anyone who is working there?”

“Yes,” answered Jessica vaguely. In addition to her blindness, she seemed to be lost in her thoughts. As a result, she did not feel the steps and tripped. Her body fell forward.

Jacob, who was standing next to her, reached out to support her waist when he saw that she was about to hit the ground. The very next moment, he had her in his embrace.

When her head hit him on his chest, she cried out in pain.

“I-I'm sorry,” Jessica got flustered and began to apologize.

She did not know which part of him had she hit, so she started feeling around with her hands. “Where did I hit you? Are you all right? Does it hurt?”

Jacob grabbed her roaming hands.

His heart skipped a beat when he felt her soft touch. Very soon, he let go of her hands and coughed before saying, “I'm all right. There's a step here, but you didn't realize. Thankfully, you didn't fall.”

Just then, the housekeeper came down from upstairs and saw the two of them at the door.

“Mr. Valentine, Mrs. Valentine, you're back?” The housekeeper smiled when she saw the shopping bags in Jacob's hands. “That's right. Sir, you should bring Mrs. Valentine out more often. It will get too boring for her to stay at home.”

Jacob was used to the way his housekeeper addressed Jessica. He acknowledged by saying, “But I still have a lot of work to do. You will have to look after her and take her out in the future.”

“I understand,” said the housekeeper as she nodded. She then turned to Jessica and said, “Mrs. Valentine, your pajamas are ready.”

“All right. Thank you.”

Jessica then told Jacob that she would be going to her room first. She stretched out her arms and tried to figure her way out. Once she located her sense of direction, she made her way up slowly.

Jacob wanted to lend her a helping hand but, he was worried about hurting her self-esteem.

He looked at the slow movement of hers and felt pity for her. How can such a beautiful woman like her be blind? It's so unfair.

When the housekeeper saw that Jacob was standing still, she asked, “Mr. Valentine, aren't you going up to help Mrs. Valentine?”

“Isn't she already up there?”

“Haiz!” The housekeeper rolled her eyes at him before she reminded him, “She's your wife after all. Her eyesight isn't good, and you hardly come by. Why don't you spend more time with her and help her with her shower?”

Jacob nearly choked on his own saliva.

If she is really my wife, I will definitely do it without being told. The issue is she isn't my wife!

“It's fine. She seems to be doing well on her own.” Jacob coughed lightly and appeared awkward. “Oh, by the way, please prepare the second bedroom. I'll be sleeping there.”

The housekeeper looked at Jacob strangely again before going upstairs.

Jacob was at a loss for words.

Does my housekeeper think that I'm a scumbag?

Worried that Hazel might check on him, Jacob took photos of the clothes that he bought for Jessica and posted their romantic outing online so that it could be viewed by their friends and Hazel.

He had no idea when the collaboration between Jessica and him would come to an end. It would be better if less friends knew about it.

Once the housekeeper was done setting up the bedroom, she went downstairs and informed Jacob.

He put his phone away, picked up the shopping bags, arrived outside Jessica's door, and knocked on it.
