Chapter 303 Am I Being Too Selfish?
''Dang it! Jacob seems like someone who is calm and quiet on the inside but vtile and sexy on the
inside. He appeared to dislike me on the surface, but in reality, he yearned for my body for a very
long time already.’
He got closer and closer to her.
Anna Wright’s entire body tensed up from anxiety.
She watched helplessly as Jacob was about to make his way to her so she said subconsciously,
"This is happening a little too soon, right? I feel that we should wait one more week. Your body is
still very weak now."
Jacob Shelby stopped walking and narrowed his eyes t o look at Anna. “My body is still very weak?
I suppose I''m not weak to this extent, huh. For a trifle like this, I can still do it."
He was very eager just as expected...
Anna’s face blushed even more. "I think it''s better for you to take it slow."
''Don''t let your sexual desire hurt your body, young man!’
Jacob frowned, then he stuffed the shirt into Anna''s hand right away. "If that''s the case, why don’t
you help me then?" "Help... Help you?" Anna held the shirt and her entire person flushed as red as
a cooked shrimp. "I, I don''t have any experience in this."
"It''s fine. You''ll get used to it after a while, I won''tin," said Jacob in all apparent seriousness.
At this very moment, Anna was so shy that she wanted to hide under the ground. "I... I still feel that
this is happening a little too soon. Moreover, you have yet to confess your feelings to me. Our status
is not official yet, so how is this okay?"
Jacob was stunned for a moment, then he looked at Anna, feeling baffled. "You''re only helping me
to wash my shirt and you need a status for that? Forget about i t then, I shall wash it myself." 1
Jacob took back the shirt and walked past Anna to head to the washroom right away.
Anna was dumbstruck with bewilderment as she looked at her empty hands.
Huh?
Wash his shirt?
She turned around and looked at Jacob incredulously. "You removed your shirt because you wanted
to wash i t?"
"What else?" Jacob shot a side nce at her.
He tossed the shirt into the wash basin, then took out a new shirt and put it on calmly.
Oh oh oh oh!
Anna felt sick.
Jacob had only wanted to wash his shirt yet she made up such a huge show in her imagination.
Anna was only d that Jacob did not know what was on her mind, fortunately. Otherwise, she
would be embarrassed to death.
"Leave it be. I shall help you wash it." Anna helped Jacob start hand washing the shirt in dejection.
"Do you know how to do it?" Jacob was doubtful.
"Is there anything that I don''t know how to do?! Don''t look down on me. The people from our Wright
family have always taken care of our own business. Also, I have a Pawpaw rk at home who is ill
and I''m the one who takes care of him. Not that I''m praising myself, but the caretakers out there
aren''t as meticulous as I am."
"Pawpaw? I thought your grandfather passed away during the unrest?" Jacob passed her a soap
bar.
Anna began rubbing soap all over the shirt skillfully then she said, "I''m not talking about my
biological grandfather. Pawpaw rk is a sworn brother of my grandfather. It is also due to his help
that my father and mother managed to stay alive during the unrest. Pawpaw rk didn’t have any
children so my parents invited him to stay with us afterward. My brother and I referred to him as
Pawpaw rk. Pawpaw rk is n o different than a real grandfather to us." "Ah," answered Jacob.
"Family love that is not tied by
blood rtionship? That''s rather rare."
Anna shifted her gaze and she could not help speaking with a soft voice, "That''s right. Frankly, the
presence of a blood rtionship doesn''t y a huge role in the depth of our affection. Take Pawpaw
rk for example. Our rtionship had been building slowly from spending time with each other for
a few decades. He was not our real grandfather, but it didn''t stop us from getting along like family.
So in truth, you and Susie are also..."
"It''s done, you can start agitating the fabric now," Jacob interrupted her sentence.
"Ah sure," answered Anna, then she began agitating the sleeves in all seriousness.
She could not help blinking her eyes innocently after she was done washing the shirt. What did she
want to say earlier?
Bad Jacob. The only thing he knew was to interrupt her train of thought.
Anna peeked at Jacob once. He was already done wringing out the top and had ced it in the
dryer.
"Cough cough." Anna let out two coughs.
"Itchy throat huh?" asked Jacob.
"Hey hey hey, stop changing the topic of conversation." Anna looked at Jacob with a serious
expression. "Jacob, you said before that you owe me a favor!"
"Yes." Jacob could not deny that.
"Then I demand you to return the favor now.” Anna’s expression remained serious.
Jacob nced at her then said straightforwardly," Other than making Susie take the DNA test with
you, I can agree to do anything for you."
The words that Anna wanted to say were stuck in her throat. She could not help stamping her foot
in rage." You''ve failed to keep your promise."
Jacob pursed his lips and did not speak anymore.

"Jacob, I understand that you have a close rtionship with Susie and you don''t want to lose your
younger sister." Anna softened her tone to speak, "Yet, you can''t be too selfish. If Susie is the
daughter of our Wright family, she is the heiress of a powerful family. Her status and identity will be
worlds apart from her current status. Just take the most basic example - how does Madam Shaw
still have the courage to make things difficult for Susie when the Wright family’s reputation is at
stake?"
"Whatever the Wright family can provide, I can provide too. I won’t let Susie go through injustice,"
said Jacob in a rather stubborn manner.
"Alright then, alright then. I know you''re good, and even if you can do it, what’s wrong with having
more people love Susie? Moreover, the rtionship between you and Susie was built over surviving
with each other through the years and it can''t be broken by just blood ties. Even if she is not your
real sister, I believe that it won''t change Susie''s love for you at all," said Anna.
"It''ste, you should go to sleep in the room,” said Jacob straightforwardly.
"I’m not tired yet," said Anna.
"I am." Jacob tugged Anna''s cor, opened the door, and shoved her out of the room.
"Hey..." Anna turned around. A bang was heard and Jacob had already closed the door.
Anna pouted gloomily at Jacob shutting the door on her.
''Bad Jacob, why do you have to be so stubborn!
''Hmph, I won’t give up anyhow.
''I''m going to let you off for today and I''ll be back tomorrow.''
In the quiet room, Jacob stood quietly facing the window for a long time.
The stars were flickering in the night sky. It was a scenic view.
However, Jacob was not in the mood to enjoy the view.
"I think it''s possible that Susie is my long lost younger sister." 1
"Jacob, you can''t be too selfish."
"It''s only a DNA test!"
"If Susie is the daughter of our Wright family, Madam Shaw won''t have the courage to make things
difficult for her anymore."
Countless voice fragments echoed through Jacob''s mind incessantly.
His hands had already clenched into tight fists without his notice.
''Susie, am I being too selfish... If the Wright family is your real family and if I were to stand in the
way of your mutual eptance, will you me me?''
Countless thoughts shed past his mind with the final scene that stopped at Susan Shelby''s gentle
gaze.
Jacob pursed his lips. He was well aware that Susan would not me him just like how he would
never me Susan regardless.
Yet, the more Susan cared about his feelings, the more he felt this ineffable feeling in his heart.
All sorts of emotions intertwined before they finally fused into Jacob''splicated gaze.
He stood in front of the window for the whole, long night akin to a statue.
