Chapter 1217


    “What’s wrong?” Jacob noticed that something was off with Abigail. Just as he was about to start the


    car, he paused and nervously looked at her.


    ‘Is the seat ufortable? Is there not enough space? Maybe my car isn’t up to her standards…’


    Abigail always had plenty of admirers, especially wealthy heirs who would spare no expense for her.


    Jacob’s confidence wavered as a sense of inferiority resurfaced.


    Then, at that moment, he noticed that Abigail hadn’t fastened her seatbelt. A lightbulb went off in his


    head. Could that be the issue?


    He quickly leaned over and reached out to fasten her seatbelt.


    Abigail was startled, and butterflies fluttered in her stomach. In that split second, as Jacob leaned over,


    she caught a whiff of his freshvender scent and noticed a faint reddish hue on his white shirt under


    the evening sun.


    When he looked up and smiled after securing her seatbelt, she felt it would still be worth it even if she


    broke her foot today!


    “A-All set.” Jacob hurriedlyposed himself, unable to meet her eyes and stumbling over his words.


    “This car of mine… it’s not very high-end, so the seatbelt doesn’t fasten automatically…”


    “Huh?” Abigail was taken aback.


    To this day, she had never heard of a high-end car with an automatic seatbelt function.


    Jacob realized his mistake and quickly started the engine. Abigail blushed and smiled, her eyes


    lowered.


    As they drove, she took a closer look at the car’s interior.


    It had an elegant ck color with sleek lines that exuded grace and sophistication.


    On the passenger side, there were no feminine belongings… She discreetly opened the glove


    compartment, peeked into the center console, and quietly pulled down the sun visor…Books Chapters

    But there were no cosmetics or perfumes, as she had imagined.


    In Abigail’s mind, once a girl had a boyfriend, she would im the passenger seat as her own.


    ‘Has his girlfriend… never sat here?’


    “Are you looking for something?” Jacob asked softly.


    Abigail’s heart skipped a beat, and she quickly waved her hand. “I’m not looking for lipstick!”


    “What?”


    Abigail bit her lip, regretting her words.


    “Um, you…” Jacob smiled. “How did you know I have lipstick here?”


    “Huh?”


    Jacob parked the car by the road and took out a tube of lipstick from his suit pocket. It was a limited


    edition from a popr international brand.


    He ced it gently in Abigail’s hand and turned away, pretending to be serious. “You can use this for

    Abigail was stunned. “Why do you have something like this?”


    “Ah… Yeah! Haha…” Jacob forced an awkwardugh. “Actually, this isn’t mine! The distributor of this


    brand in Centrolis recently had awsuit, and I helped him win the case. As a token of gratitude, he


    gave me theirtest product! This… This is a-a gift!”


    Abigail looked at him, noticing the sweat forming on the tip of his nose.


    Did he really not realize that this was a poorly constructed lie?


    Which distributor would be so tactless as to only gift a tube of lipstick after winning awsuit?


    And the shade was… 143.


    It was a limited edition shade that many female celebrities coveted.


    Abigail lowered her head, stealing a secret nce at his handsome profile. She smiled and tucked the


    lipstick into her pocket.


    “By the way, let me take you to the hospital for your injured foot!” Jacob suggested.


    “I’m fine, it doesn’t hurt!” Abigail interjected.


    However, a sharp pain shot through her ankle even with a slight movement. Despite her mastery of


    facial expressions, she couldn’t hide the grimace of pain.
