Chapter 486 Benevolence Or Cruelty


    Anna looked at him. “I''ll only ept what you tell me to my face."


    Jacob''s heart quivered.


    Taking a deep breath, Anna then added, "I want you to tell me that you have never loved me before.


    I want you to tell me that all my efforts were futile. Jacob, if you can say that to my face, from now


    on, I''ll stop bothering you."


    Jacob closed his eyes to hide all his emotions.


    "Say it!" Anna shouted, her voice trembling with emotion.


    nchett tightened her grip on Jacob''s arm, as a hint of nervousness shed across her eyes.


    "Jacob, you can''t say it because I''m somewhere in your heart, right?" Anna looked straight into


    Jacob''s eyes.


    In any case, she had to get an answer today.


    There was silence, and then Jacob let out a soft sigh. After a long while, he said, "The reason I


    texted you is that I didn''t want to make you look too bad. However, since you insist that I say it in


    your face, I have no choice but to grant your wish."


    After saying that, Jacob opened his eyes and looked at Anna, his gaze firm and direct. "Anna


    Wright, I''ve never liked you. I''ve never liked you in the past, I don''t like you now, and I''ll never like


    you in the future."


    ''He said it...’


    A hint of despair crept into Anna''s eyes. "I don''t believe it, Jacob!” "Well, it''s up to you whether you


    want to believe it or not, but the truth is that I''ve never liked you. Don''t you realize it? Out of the two


    of us, you''re the one who kept pestering me. I’ve never made a move before. You''re not my type.


    Unless red rain falls from the sky, I''ll never fall in love with you," Jacob replied tly.


    ''Unless red rain falls from the sky...'' Jacob had made it very clear that he had never loved Anna


    before.


    "Do you have to be so cruel? You really don''t want to give me even the slightest hope?" Anna said,


    her voice hoarse as a raven''s.


    "Since I don''t love you, if I still gave you hope, don’t you think that would be even crueler?" Jacob


    said in a calm voice.


    Anna tightened her hands as darkness began to flood her heart.


    What Jacob had said was true. If he had not told her outright that he did not like her at all, the pain


    she would have felt in the future might have been 100 times worse than the pain she felt right now.


    Even though she knew Jacob was right, she still could not help but sink deeper and deeper into a


    quagmire of sadness and despair.


    "Alright, I''m done. If you''ve understood what I mean, then I hope you will stop bothering me now."


    Jacob''s eyes were cold.


    ''Bothering...''


    "So you are saying that everything that I''ve done so far was nothing but a nuisance to you?" Anna''s


    voice was raw.


    "Exactly," Jacob replied matter-of-factly.


    "Okay. I get it now." Anna stumbled to her feet.


    Even though Jacob wanted to hold her, he gritted his teeth and forced the urge down.


    However, these changes did not escape nchett''s eyes. She held his arm even tighter as a


    strange light shed past her eyes.


    “You guys have fun. I have to go now." Anna turned around and walked away as if her spirit had left


    her body.


    The road was thronged with vehicles, and she nearly got hit by a car when she wandered off the


    road absentmindedly.


    Jacob’s heart somersaulted, and he was so shocked that he nearly shook nchett off and rushed


    forward. Fortunately, Seth had been watching Anna because her condition worried him. He went up


    to her with a few quick steps and dragged her back to safety.


    It was only then that Jacobmanded himself to stay frozen on the spot.


    "For God''s sake, could you do me a favor and please watch the road? Fine, fine, fine. Let me take


    you home,” Seth said as he called his driver.


    "Mr. Leeds is really good to Miss Wright. They make quite a good couple, don''t you think? 1 wonder


    if Miss Wright would ept if Mr. Leeds asked her to be his girlfriend?" nchett wondered.


    ''Seth and Anna?''


    Jacob''s apathetic gaze cracked a little as nchett reminded him of something.


    Even though he had rejected Anna, Anna would have to have a rtionship and get married


    eventually.


    Another man would be standing next to her in the future. Her bright smile and admiring gaze would


    be directed at that man.


    Seth was his best friend. Jacob asked himself if he would be able to ept it if that man was Seth.


    He soon got an answer.


    He would never be able to ept it. Regardless of who that man was, even if it was Seth, he would


    not be able to bring himself to wish them well.


    A hint of bitterness welled in Jacob''s heart.


    He only realized now that he was such a selfish man. He had rejected Anna, yet he did not want her


    to get into a rtionship with another man either.


    However, that was not possible.


    Anna was a wonderful girl. After she got over him, she would certainly find the right man one day.


    As for him, he could only watch her from behind, no matter how painful it was for him.


    Since he could not make Anna happy, he could only pass that job to another person.


    Seth''s driver soon arrived, and he dragged Anna into the car.


    Jacob watched as the car got smaller and smaller until itpletely disappeared from his line of


    sight. There was a myriad o f tumultuous emotions in his heart, yet his face was as calm as pool


    water.


    "Where are we heading next, J?" nchett asked with a smile.


    Jacob pulled his arm out of nchett''s grip and said, "I''m sorry...'' "Something came up and you


    have to go again, right?" nchett said as if she could read his mind.


    Jacob pressed his lips until they became thin and repeated, “I''m sorry.”


    “I know you are into that girl." nchett shrugged. "What confuses me is why you would do that to


    her since you love her.


    Since you rejected her, why can’t you give me a chance?"

    nchett looked at Jacob confidently. "J, I am confident that as long as you are willing to open your


    heart to me, you will certainly fall in love with me."


    nchett was proud of herself, and she did have what it took to be prideful.


    Jacob pulled away from her slightly and said, "I apologize for using you to reject her.


    However, I''m afraid that I''m not suitable for you."


    "What makes you say that?" nchett stared at Jacob, her gaze resolute. "No one i n this world is


    born for another person. Love needs time to develop, and if you never try, how can you be so sure


    that I''m not suitable for you?”


    Jacob thought for a while and then said," Since you said that you like me, then tell m e why you like


    me."


    A light flitted across nchett''s eyes." Because you’re good. You are the first man I look up to.


    Right after you defeated me, I swore to myself that I would be your wife."


    "Just because I''m very good withputers? Do you know what kind of person I am? Do you know


    what I love to do during my free time? Do you know my temperament? You know nothing about m e,


    so how can you say that you love me?" Jacob said sharply. "All you love is myputer skills. I''m


    not the only one who can beat you in this world. If you met another person with that skill, you would


    fall for them as well."


    "This is different." nchett objected. “You are the one who defeated me and shrugged it off as if


    nothing happened. Besides, you are handsome and you''re my type."


    nchett was candid, which made Jacob smile.
