Chapter 275 I’ll Treat You to a Meal
Mandy ordered two glasses of fruit wine, and as they chatted for a while, Frey's tense nerves began to relax slightly.
They left the bar very late and hired a driver to take Frey back to her apartment first.
The night breeze was a bit cold, so Frey wrapped her windbreaker tightly around her body and walked towards the apartment building with her head lowered.
"Frey!" A man slowly walked out from the shadow of the tree.
Frey hurriedly turned around and saw Jacob. In just a few days, he had become so thin that his cheeks were sunken.
He was wearing casual pants, a baseball uniform, and a baseball cap pulled low over his face, revealing a pale complexion.
"Jacob?" Frey didn't expect to meet him here. Didn't his parents say he went to the countryside?
There was a subconscious feeling of danger as Jacob, standing in the shadows, seemed like a thug barely holding it together. Frey knew Jacob so well that she could see the madness in his eyes.
She subconsciously stepped back. Jacob saw the fear in her eyes and stood there motionless.
The two of them froze, and Jacob felt huge waves of emotion inside.
The Rivera family declared bankruptcy today, and the wealth accumulated over the past few decades vanished in an instant.
He had just sent his grandfather to the countryside, and his father had shot himself in the evening with a small revolver he brought back from Pontenero.
Fortunately, he was sent to the hospital in time. He was in the special care unit after the rescue, but he was not out of danger yet.
His mother had gone completely mad, and the Rivera family was torn apart.
Jacob knew that Nathaniel launched a counterattack against the Rivera family, and the day the war officially started was after his mother beat Frey up.
He couldn't help but smile bitterly. Nathaniel loved Frey so much that anyone involved would be torn apart by him.
He couldn't think of how to save the Rivera family now. The only way left was to tie up Frey and threaten Nathaniel. This was probably their last chance.
He put his hands into his trouser pockets, his eyes dangerous but confused.
He had been in love with Frey since he was very young, but he didn't realize it was love as he thought it was just a good impression on her. When he truly understood, it was too late.
Jacob slowly let go of the dagger in his pocket, opened his arms, and walked towards Frey.
This time, Frey didn't hide and let him hug her. His arms were very cold, and she shivered.
Jacob hugged her tightly and said in a hoarse voice, "Frey, I'm sorry."
Frey took a breath, slowly raised her hand, and gently patted his back "Jacob, if you can't stay in
there are still opportunities they
there are still opportunities abroad."
Jacob nodded and let go of her.
He lowered his head, smiled bitterly, then raised his eyes and looked firmly into hers. "Were you afraid of me just now?" Frey smiled. "I trust you."
Jacob's face froze, and he chuckled. He looked at Frey and said, "I don't know how many people Nathaniel has offended this time. Be careful. After all, everyone in Saeville knows that you're untouchable."
"His treatment of the Rivera family is certainly due to personal grudges between me and him, but more importantly, he wants to stand up for you."
The expression on Frey's face was a little complicated, but she had already guessed this.
Jacob looked at Frey and said, "Frey, I finally understand your feelings from three years ago."
"It turns out that... it wasn't comfortable..."
"If... I come back to Saeville again, can you...wait for me?"
Frey didn't expect Jacob to ask such
a question. She was already ed
in the quagmire of Saeville.
Nathaniel had built the entire city into a cage to imprison her
She didn't know what her future with Nathaniel was, so how could she make another promise to the man in front of her?
She saw the despair in Jacob's eyes but nodded. "When you return to Saeville next time... I'll treat you to a meal."
