Chapter 146 Happy or Worried
Alice took a deep breath and saw the snow flying in front of her. She didn''t know whether she was
happy or worried.
After thest experience, this time, she had an extra thought. Now she had to be on guard against
Jacob. Because even she couldn''t figure out what Jacob really thought.
Finally, it was not until afternoon that Jacob called Alice and told her that he was outside the Times
Square. Alice got excited at once. Jacob would definitely ask her about the news today, which made
Alice a little nervous.
She was nervous not because she didn''t know what was going to happen, but because she knew that
she couldn''t solve the problem.
She straightened her clothes and flushed with excitement.
As soon as she walked out of the gate of the Times Square, she recognized Jacob''s car. Jacob
changed his car into a Bentley. Alice''s eyes lit up. She could have gotten these easily, but things were
different now.
She walked to the car. Jacob was sitting in the back row. It turned out to be a female driver who was
driving the car for him. If it weren''t for her normal appearance, Alice would have thought too much. The
female driver got out of the car and opened the door for Alice. After sitting in the car with her head
down, Alice felt warm in an instant.
"Have you changed to a female assistant? Jacob?" Alice asked as she naturally put her bag on the
seat. She wouldn''t allow any woman to get close to Jacob easily, not even they were ugly!
"Yes. I didn''t like my former assistant, so I asked the Human Resource Department to change another
assistant for me." Jacob seemed to be perfunctory or absent-minded.
"How''s thepany going recently?" Alice just wanted to make a deration of her special
rtionship with Jacob in front of the female assistant. So she asked randomly.
"Fine. There''s a little trouble, but I''m dealing with it now." Jacob acted casually with his hands crossed
over his chest.
"By the way, how''s your injury? Is there any serious aftereffect on your shoulders and legs?" Alice
asked with concern.
"Don''t worry. It''s just that it still hurts when it''s cold. I don''t know if there''s any lingering effect of the
disease." Jacob narrowed his eyes with aplicated look. Alice''s concern didn''t seem to be fake, so
what was the reason for all this.
Alice widened her eyes in disbelief, "How could this be? What did the doctor say?"
"The doctor said that the impact of the car ident was too great, and the internal muscle tissue might
be damaged. There was no other way but to nurse my health." Jacob''s heart. fluctuated. This result
made him hard to get over.
"How could this be..." Alice murmured, as if she couldn''t ept it.
"Don''t worry. I''m fine. I''m still alive." Jacob smiled.
"Jacob, I..." Alice wanted to say something about the newsst time, but stopped on a second thought.
"Don''t say anything. I know everything. It''s none of your business." Jacob saw through what Alice was
thinking, so he replied with duplicity.
"Jacob, I haven''t finished yet. It was my faultst time. I shouldn''t have been so impulsive to listen to
others. I''m sorry for the loss I caused to thepany and the bad impact on the reputation of you and
Sara." Lowering her eyelids, Alice twisted her hands into different shapes. She knew what kind of
person Jacob was.
Jacob nced at the woman beside him. Women were indeed terrible creatures. "It doesn''t matter. Let
bygones be bygones. I don''t want to mention that anymore."
Alice was shocked at first, and then delighted. Jacob must have believed what Thompson said. "Jacob,
how''s everything going between you and Sara?"
Alice herself was also shocked by her sudden question. But when she thought of her rtionship with
Jacob for so many years, it was impossible for her not to ask such a question. Even though she was
afraid of the answer, she wanted to know more.
"The same, maybe worse." Jacob looked serious. Perhaps the divorcing news would have a great
impact on the rtionship between the two, but Jacob didn''t want to look into it anymore.
The Bentley was galloping on the main passage of the city, as if it was shuttling back and forth in the
middle of winding lines. There was no expectant scenery or people, only a monotonous going forward
forever.
The Bentley mmed on the brake and stopped at the door of Jacob''s vi. Looking up at the familiar
and strange environment, Alice didn''t expect toe back in this way.
Alice was calm. There were too many bad memories left here. However, deep in her heart, she was
eager toe back here. This was Jacob''s home, and after she left Jacob, she was like a homeless
walking dead. Alice stared nkly at the gate of Jacob''s vi. A man who looked about 50 years old
was standing at the gate, wearing a thick coat.
Alice looked for the man in front of her in her mind, but she didn''t remember him, which made her feel
disappointed. For so many years, how many things of Jacob''s life did she miss? And how many ofN?velDrama.Org exclusive content.
them had been upied by Sara? It turned out that the loss was not in the order of appearance, but in
the time.
In a graceful manner, Alice put one of her feet on the ground first. In high heels, she was one head
shorter than Jacob, looking very harmonious standing together.
James had seen a lot of people. It was just that he wouldn''t easily define a person who he had met for
the first time. But when he first saw the contemptuous expression on Alice''s face when she looked at
assistant Cindy, he knew that Sara would never have such an expression.
Even the cold and arrogant Sara knew how to respect everyone. However, the petite and charming
Alice in front of him wouldn''t act in the same way.
James walked up to them and said with concern, "You''re back. Come on in. It''s cold outside."
Jacob nodded and looked back at the puzzled face of Alice. He said softly, "Let''s go inside. Winnie has
prepared the dinner and is waiting for us."
Hearing the name of Winnie, a burst of contempt rose in Alice''s heart. ''She is just a servant. The food
she cooked didn''t suit my appetite, but I couldn''t even criticize her.'' Alice looked calm, but she kept
muttering in her heart.
''And who is the man in front of me? Is he the new housekeeper hired by Jacob? But he doesn''t look
like a housekeeper. It feels that the way he maniptes everything is frightening.''
Alice thought she was too careless today that she forgot to ask who was the person she met. And
Jacob didn''t introduce him to her. Wasn''t it the suitable time?
Alice followed Jacob cautiously with doubts. During this period, James had been silently observing
Alice, but no one noticed it.
The moment Alice raised her eyes, she happened to meet James''s eyes. After a short eye contact
between the two, Alice could not help but lower her eyes. For so many years, it was rare for her to see
such sharp eyes, which made her shiver.
The man in front of her made her feel cold, but she didn''t know how to deal with him. No matter how
powerful she was, she had never met such a fierce person. At this moment, she lost her confidence.
Jacob didn''t know anything about what had happened between them. He looked around the kitchen
and found that Winnie and the newly hired cooks were chatting happily. Jacob felt a littlefortable. It
was true that he didn''t care too much about the people around him in the past, so that others wanted to
leave him. It was not until then that Jacob realized that he had always been indifferent and outrageous.
The room was quiet. Seeing Alicee in, Dora didn''t respond. Even if she was gentle, Dora would
never make out with Alice. Alice didn''t care about it at all. If she wasn''t favored by Jacob, she would not
be wee to the whole family of him.
Sitting on the leather sofa in the living room, Alice felt as if it had been a lifetime. Life wasn''t about
falling in love. Falling in love was about seeking the abstract happiness, and life was always about
being fulfilling.
Alice cautiously sat on the sofa and looked up at Jacob. Jacob seemed to remember something and
said, "I forgot to introduce you just now."
He stood between James and Alice, like a matchmaker. "This is James, my father''s little brother."
Alice was shocked. She didn''t expect that the man in front of her was an elder of Jacob. Alice thought
to herself that she had left a bad impression on him. Thinking of his sternness, her heart sank.
Jacob continued, "Uncle James, this is Alice, a friend of mine."
