Dear Sweetheart Chapter 534
Chapter 534
Jacob sighed, feeling he was caught in a difficult spot.
“My mom is being unreasonable. How can she be so hasty and impatient in handling this matter? I can
consider epting her gesture if she introduced better women to me. However, all the women she set
me up with on blind dates are horrible! My mom even introduced Hausen’s CEO’s daughter to me in
the past, telling me how wonderful she was. D*mn it! You should’ve seen that woman in person. She
scared me out of my wits with her mantrap-like appearance.”
Hearing that name, Jessica knitted her brows. “Hausen?”
“Oh. That’s a bigpany, but you wouldn’t know if you didn’t work in the finance industry.” Jacob
didn’t sense her unusual behavior. “Regrettably, the CEO of Hausen, Justin Morales, died, and the
company went bankrupt. His daughter and wife seemed to have left the country. Fortunately, his family
met its downfall. Otherwise, I think I would have to cut ties with my mom because she’s fond of Justin’s
daughter.”
Jacob had been curious about something. He couldn’t shake off the feeling that Justin’s death was
somewhat rted to Wyatt.
Otherwise, how else could they have died after he saw them off just a few moments ago?
Wyatt was even summoned to the police station because of that matter. However, he was merely
detained for a few days before being released unscathed.
Seeing Jessica lowering her head in silence, Jacob asked her, “Are you not feeling well?”
“Yes. It ismon for me to feel difort and nauseous during pregnancy.” She regained her senses
and casually made up an excuse to reply to him. “It’s nothing major.”
He contemted briefly before saying, “I’ll bring you out for dinner tonight to try some different food
and buy you some clothes.”
“That’s not necessary.”
“That’s all right. We won’t be spending much anyway. Perhaps my mom will want to visit again. She will
definitely be suspicious about our rtionship if she sees you being mistreated.”
Jessica uttered hesitantly, “I can’t see.”
“It’s okay. You’ll be fine if you wear a pair of sunsses and hold onto me the whole time.” Noticing the
paint stains on her hands, Jacob said, “Your hands are very dirty. Do you want me to bring you to get
washed up?”
“Okay.”
He brought her to the powder room and thoughtfully squeezed some liquid soap onto her palms.
Standing at one side and looking at her washing her hands, Jacob was again reminded of the drawing
outside. He asked curiously, “Why did you draw a hand beside a sunflower? Is there any meaning
behind the painting?”
Jessica paused briefly and answered casually, “I drew it because I thought the picture was very
artistic.”
“Oh.” He nodded. She’s right. That painting is indeed artistic. Not everyone will admire and appreciate
such a drawing.
Jessica needed to change her clothes as well because it was soiled. She told Jacob she could do that
on her own without the housekeeper’s assistance, so he went downstairs first.
When he saw the housekeeper, he said to thetter, “I’m bringing her out for dinner, so you don’t have
to prepare our meals tonight.”

“Okay.”
Jacob added, “Also, go downstairs to measure the size of the painting downstairs and frame it. Hang
the drawing in the living room. It’s quite a nice artwork.”
The housekeeper knew Jessica was blind, so she reckoned there was nothing special with the painting.
She said with a smile, “Of course. That drawing is more precious than the masterpieces in the art
gallery since your wife drew it.”
Jacob shrugged.
Initially, he nned to secretly bring the drawing back home and unt it in front of his friends before
falsely describing the painting as an exorbitant piece of art to earn some big bucks by selling it.
However, he felt it was inappropriate to do so because Jessica drew the painting.
After a few minutes, Jessica came downstairs after changing into a loose-fitting long dress.
She was familiar with the house’syout, so even if she couldn’t see her surroundings, she could amble
downstairs with the help of the handrails.
If Jacob didn’t know she had lost her vision, he might even be convinced she wasn’t handicapped.
He helped her to put on a pair of sunsses.
The sunsses were oversized and couldn’t even fit on the bridge of Jessica’s nose. Herical
appearance caused him tough out loud.
“Hey.” She gazed in his direction in displeasure.
“It’s the sunsses’ fault. There’s nothing wrong with you.” He suppressed his urge tough. “I’ll buy a
new pair of sunsses for youter.”
Jessica ignored him and strode toward the door by herself. Jacob hastily followed her.
After helping her to change her shoes and open the door, he held her hand.
Her hand felt warm and soft this time instead of cold likest time.
Noticing her withdrawing her arm, Jacob grabbed her hand and ced it around his arm. “If you don’t
want to walk with a white cane or on a tactile pavement, you’ll have to let me guide you.”
Subsequently, Jessica didn’t struggle anymore and left the house while holding his arm.
After walking for a short while, he helped her into the car.
After Jessica lost her vision for some time, her initial nervousness and panic subsided as she grew
ustomed to her condition. She felt contented as long as she had a ce to sleep and eat.
That was her first time going out with someone after turning blind.
She asked Jacob to lower the car window as she wanted to feel the cool breeze and listen to the sound
of the wind whistling.
While the car was waiting for the traffic light to turn green, she could even hear the passers-by
conversing. At that instant, she felt warm and happy.
Jessica asked, “Where are we going?”
“I’ll bring you to have dinner first.” Jacob took out his phone as he spoke. “Do you want to eat
Chanaean cuisine or Adrunian food?”
“Chanaean cuisine, then.” She asked after replying, “Will it be troublesome for you?”
“No. Just let me know if you want to eat anything.” After finding the address to the restaurant, Jacob
informed the driver where to go.
Jacob’s heart ached as he took in Jessica’s cautious demeanor. He couldn’t help but say, “You don’t
have to think of yourself as a nuisance. I wouldn’t have rescued you if I thought you were troublesome.
Besides, we’re coboration partners. You’re also helping me out.”
Although Jessica was blind, her eyes weren’t damaged, so she was as pretty as before.
He almost stretched out his hand to touch her but quickly controlled his desire. “Josie, you don’t have
to live so carefully or think you’ll trouble anyone for wanting to do something. You should smile more.
That way, your child will feel your good mood.”
She must’ve been a vivacious person in the past with a dazzling smile and probably became so timid,
submissive, and depressive after she was met with some devastating experiences.
Jessica blinked. Then, her eyes curved into gorgeous crescents as she smiled faintly. “Okay.”
Soon, the car arrived at Chanaean Street.
Stores selling various delicacies lined the street. As it was nighttime, the ce was crowded and
extremely lively.
Jacob brought Jessica into a Chanaean cuisine restaurant.
He read out the dishes avable on the menu and ordered all the food Jessica wanted to eat.
As the restaurant was established by a Chanaean store owner, the taste of the dishes was authentic.
Even the air inside the restaurant was filled with the scent of spices.
Jacob didn’t have any dietary restrictions, nor was he a picky eater. He thought the food there was
quite delicious.
Jessica took a few spoonfuls of the food before she started vomiting. She tried eating again, and after
repeating the cycle a few times, even her face turned pale. In the end, she didn’t have the appetite to
eat anything.
The turns of events scared Jacob out of his wits. He called an Adrunian restaurant and ordered some
soup to be delivered over.
He let Jessica try out all kinds of soups.
After seeing her appetite improve as she finished a te of spaghetti and a bowl of soup, he could
finally rx.
“Your boyfriend is such a jerk!” Jacobined, “Women have such a tough time during pregnancy,
yet he could still argue with you and even abandon you overseas. If I were in his situation, I wouldn’t
dare retaliate if my wife scolds or hits me during her pregnancy.”
Jessica merely smiled without responding.
Fearing she might feel unwell after having her meal, Jacob deliberately brought Jessica to shop around
Chanaean Street. He bought some interesting items he saw before taking her to the shoppingplex
to buy some clothes.
Jessica tried a few outfits. However, after knowing the price of the clothes, she told Jacob her stomach
would increase in size very quickly during her pregnancy, so she wouldn’t need to purchase such
expensive clothing since she would have to change her clothes frequently.
Despite agreeing with her, he secretly paid for those garments as well before leaving the store.
After that, he took her to a store selling maternity clothes. There, Jessica selected and bought a few
sets of clothes.
“That’s enough. Your mom will bring me to purchase more clothes when she visits. I won’t be able to
keep them anyway, so these clothes shouldst me for a long while. Besides, I’m getting tired of
shopping.”
“Okay. We’ll go home then.” Jacob thought she must indeed be exhausted when he noticed theyer of
sweat covering her forehead.
He took out a piece of tissue to help her wipe off the sweat while asking cheerily, “So, how do you feel?
Don’t you feel your mood improved after spending some time outside? You look much better than when
you were cooped inside the house earlier.”
Jessica grinned and nodded. “Yes. I think I’ve yet to lose touch with the world.”
Jacob couldn’t help but smile and teased her, “In that case, I should bring you out more often to avoid
causing you to be out of touch with the world.”
They chatted happily while strolling on the street.
Meanwhile, on the opposite street, a tall figure moved among the crowd. His suit was wrinkled, and a
distraught look spread across his handsome face.
He nced around his surroundings, seemingly searching for something impatiently.
When he shifted his gaze onto the opposite street, Jacob was coincidentally guiding Jessica into the
taxi before getting into the vehicle himself.
As a result, that man only saw the taxi drive away.
