Chapter 22 Two Types Of Tension
Evelyn
"So...Clara, can I ask you something?"
"Oh, since when did you start acting so formal?" She burst into laughter. "What happened? Do you have a fever or something?"
I sighed, feigning sadness. "I don't get you or Dad. Even when I try to be nice, it's always a problem."
"Enough, drama queen," Clara chuckled. "Ask me what you want to know."
A smile tugged at my lips as I leaned in, adjusting my chair to ensure she heard me clearly. "By any chance, do you think Jacob has been through a heartbreak or something?"
"What?" Confusion etched upon her face, "Where's this coming from?"
"I am just curious, you know," I tried to keep my curiosity subtle.
"And why are you suddenly curious?" She asked skeptically.
"Well, it's just that he sometimes seems like a lone soul," I laughed, though it came out sounding nervous. "So, I got curious."
She paused for a moment, as if recollecting her memories in one place. "I'm not entirely sure, but I heard from your Dad that he had a serious relationship in the past. After it ended on a bad note, he never pursued relationships again."
"What else do you know?"
"That's all I know. Every time I asked your Dad, he said it's a long story," She shrugged. "Besides, this wedding is the only event where I've seen Jacob, so I haven't had the curiosity to pester Samuel further. Although hearing a little story would have been interesting, you know, your dad can be so boring sometimes."
"Oh, I see," I replied before shifting my focus back to the plate full of pancakes drowning in chocolate syrup that Clara had made for me.
So...Jacob went through a heartbreak.
A few minutes passed as I delved deeper into my thoughts. Suddenly, the sound of the chair beside me being pulled interrupted my contemplation.
"Hello, ladies," Jacob's face greeted my view as he sat beside me; Dad followed suit, taking the chair beside Clara across from us.
"I must say, you look in a really good mood today." There was a hint of suspicion in his voice, causing me to drop my fork onto the plate.
"Dad, what's wrong with you? If I'm in a bad mood, you have a problem, and if I'm not in a good mood, you still have a problem!"
"No, my problem is that you've started having these odd mood swings all of a sudden." He quirked an eyebrow. "Is this about any guy?"
My cheeks burned red, and my eyes widened in shock. "Dad!" Disbelief screamed through my voice.
