Chapter 400

Bridget glanced at him and went into the kitchen to make a fruit bowl.

Daisy sat opposite him. When he'd walked in and out the house behind Xavier in the past, she'd taken him as a part of this family, someone so familiar that she'd never bother to pay much attention.

Daisy eyed him up and down. He had impressive features and an angular face contour.

Her gaze made Jacob's hair stand on end.

The atmosphere was so weird for him

"You must be very tired recently. Please feel free to come by. You've worked for Xavier for so long and I've long regarded you as a family.”

"Okay..."

Jacob replied, not knowing where to look at.

"Well, there's something I need to deal with in the company. I..."

"Bridget, you're not done yet?" Daisy deliberately interrupted Jacob and urged Bridget.

In fact, the fruit bowl was long ready, but Bridget just stayed in the kitchen.

Daisy called her and she had to come out.

She put the bowl on the table and sat on the sofa with Jacob.

Seeing them sitting together, Daisy found that Bridget and Jacob looked just right for each other. Daisy pushed the fruit bowl toward Jacob. "Knock yourself out.”

Bridget took out a piece of apple using a fork and handed it to Jacob. Jacob gave her a look and finally understood why she had ridiculously proposed marriage to him.

It felt strange to be fixed up with her.

He chewed the apple and thought that it would kill him if this was what he would face in the Jones Family after marrying Bridget.

"I'm going to check on Ramona. Bridget, keep Jacob entertained.” Daisy excused herself to give them some time alone.

When Daisy entered the room, Jacob suddenly slouched.

Bridget grinned. "Sorry to make you embarrassed.”
