Chapter 446:

After Jake departed, tears streamed down Anna’s cheeks as her mind shifted back to the year they first met. Actually, Jake had always been distant and cold toward her. But at that time, Anna thought she still had a chance, consoling herself that he was just naturally aloof and would warm up to her someday.

But she was faced with a reality check on the day of her return to the country. She noted Jake’s tenderness toward Kallie. So, he wasn’t born aloof. He was just cold to her.

As Jake was around Kallie, he was gentle, his eyes affectionate and warm. Anna had never seen this side of Jake. Saddened yet unreconciled by the fact that his love and soft side were reserved solely for Kallie, Anna figured she had been around Jake’s side for some years, and he should have developed feelings for her, though he might not realize it himself.

After Jake stepped into Mr. Jack’s role, he had faced numerous challenges, most of which were tackled by himself, while few were taken care of by Anna.

Anna took pride in how well she cooperated with Jake in handling things, constantly hearing comments of them making a perfect match. Such words undoubtedly cheered her up, and over time, she was convinced of it, feeling she was the most suitable one for Jake.
