Chapter 394

Jacob wanted to comfort her, but he didn't know what to say.

In fact, he admitted that Bridget was right.

After all, Edward was already married. It would be better for everyone to move on with their life. However, it was too cruel to Edward.

"I'm sorry for using you as an excuse to reject Edward. He might hate you now." Bridget was deeply sorry for Jacob.

Jacob grabbed his hair. "I'm fine, but you shouldn't use me. It hurts him too much.”

She knew that she was thoughtless. But Jacob just happened to stand beside her when she was confronting Edward.

“I'm sorry."

"It's okay." He couldn't really blame her. "Think about it before you act next time.”

"Got it." She smiled at him. "Come back with me for dinner.”

He hesitated for a moment, and she pulled his arm. "Just come with me. My family is quiet and desolate these days. Maybe it will be more lively if you come.”

Everyone would be in a better mood.

Jacob nodded and walked towards the house with her.

Inside, Arya helped prepare dinner in the kitchen, while Mr. Jones and Daisy were playing with two children in the living room.

Bridget came back with Jacob, which made Daisy surprised.

Jacob greeted politely. "Sorry, I came without notice.”

"Not at all. You're not an outsider. You should come and visit us more often.” Daisy invited Jacob in and called out to the kitchen, "Nanny May, get a glass of water here.”

Nanny May replied, "Okay."

After Nanny May poured the water and left, Nanny Joy came over and took over the peeled lotus root in Arya's hand. "Go and rest. I'll handle the things here."
