Chapter 36 Heartache
He lifted a strand of her hair and said, "Cherry, I won't let you go. Listen carefully."
His eyes were full of determination.
She couldn't help but take a step back.
She was wrong. She shouldn't have provoked such a person!
Nancy opened the door, cried all the way and rushed into her room.
Donna was sleeping in the afternoon, but she didn't wake up.
Only Jacob, who came back home after finishing his night shift, was awakened by the cry.
"Nancy, Nancy." He knocked on the door for fear that his younger sister would be wronged.
"Leave me alone, all of you!" Nancy covered her head with a pillow and cried, "Let me be alone, okay?" Anyway, no one cared about her and no one really liked her.
What her mother cared about was her three sons.
Her father simply thought she didn't exist in this family.
Now, she finally had a vague figure in her heart, and he was completely not interested in her.
Was life so miserable? She deserved to live without any sound all her life.
Her brother was excellent, and her younger brother had to be protected. Only she was nothing.
In that case, why should she live?
Why did they give birth to her?
Could they just leave her alone?!
She covered her ears and cried heartbrokenly.
Jacob stopped knocking at the door.
He quickly turned the doorknob and walked into the room.
"Who bullied you?" He held his tearful younger sister into his arms and said, "Tell me!"
"No, no!" Nancy refused him. "I'm just an idiot. I cry by myself, okay?"
Nancy had always been obedient. Even when she was crying, she just cried silently and rarely had such an extreme reaction.
The more she behaved like this, the more worried Jacob was.
He grabbed her shoulder and said, "I'll help you no matter how serious the matter is!"
He couldn't help but think in a bad direction. She was so stupid. How miserable had she been bullied?
"Brother, leave me alone..." She hugged her brother back and said, "No one will like me anyway..."
"Who doesn't like you?" He stroked his younger sister's hair.
"Well... That Moore... " Speaking of this man, Nancy's tears almost drowned Jacob. "He loves someone else. In that case, why did he kiss me that night?"
A sensitive word touched Jacob's heart.
His whole body tensed up. "What?!" He frowned angrily, "He..."
His chest heaved sharply.
'Son of a bitch! Which hand did he touch her with? I'll chop it off!'
"He said he got the wrong person..." Nancy didn't realize the key to her brother's anger. She just cried, "He loves Cherry, but I like him so much..."
"What?" Jacob felt that his brain was running out of function. "Who did you say he likes?"
Nancy sobbed, "She is the girl we met at the ball. You know her, her name is Cherry Shen." She sniffed, "They went on a date today... I ordered roses for him... They will have dinner together tonight..." The more she spoke, the more she felt that she was too week!
She burst into tears and said, "If he doesn't like me, don't kiss me. Don't go on a blind date with me. Don't let me like him. He likes that kind of girl. I have no hope at all..."
She hadn't finished crying, but there was nobody in front of her.
Jacob was gone.
She cried even louder, "Brother, please listen to me..."
Was her cry so unpleasant to hear?!
"I'll find him for you." Jacob walked out of his room and casually put on his coat.
"Brother!" Nancy was too scared to cry, "Don't go, brother!"
It was so humiliating.
If her brother didn't go, she could comfort herself that her secret love had failed.
She would feel so humiliated if her brother went there.
"Don't go!"
Jacob's reaction was much more than she had imagined.
Before she could catch up with him, he had already rushed out of the house.
'Son of a bitch! Who the hell is Moore doing?'
He had cheated Nancy, and now he was going to take advantage of Cherry?!
He jumped into the car and drove away with a roar.
Cherry was preparing the seafood for dinner in the kitchen. Sitting on the chair at the door of the kitchen, Moore supported his head with his hands and looked at her with interest.
Her fingertips danced between the white porcelain dishes, as tender as the tips of bamboo shoots.
She had a serious side face and an indescribable elegance.
Even the two wisps of mischievous hair that fell down because of the action of kneading the seafood looked particularly charming.
He fixed his eyes on her.
He couldn't help but stand up and gently walked over. He picked up her hair and smelled it. "It smells good..."
His sudden approach startled her and she almost threw the porcelain plate out of her hand.
She looked at him in shock, "You... Moore, you really scared me. This is the kitchen of our restaurant. You can't come in. It's irresponsible to customers." She took a deep breath and said, "Please wait outside, okay?"
Several kitchen assistants also looked at them and asked Cherry if she needed their help.
"Cherry." Moore raised his hands and said, "I promise I won't make any trouble. I'll just stay here and watch you, okay?" He pursed his lips innocently.
"Sorry, it's against the rules. You can go out now." Cherry shivered.
When Moore was about to play cute again, they heard a quarrel at the door.
"I'm sorry, sir. We are not open now, so you can't come in. If you want to have dinner here tonight, our seats are full. Please come tomorrow..."
"I'm Jacob Nelson. I'm looking for Cherry!"
As soon as she heard the man's voice, Cherry put down the seafood at hand and raised her voice, "Judy, let him in. He is my friend."
The waitress didn't dare to stop him since the female boss had said so. She took a step back and opened the door for Jacob. Cherry had come out, "Why are you here now?"
She was pleased to see him. But when she saw his gloomy face, her heart sank. "What happened?"
Glancing at her, Jacob asked, "Is Moore here with you?"
Cherry was stunned and asked, "Are you looking for him?"
Moore had already lifted the curtain and followed Cherry out of the kitchen. "Is that your friend? Honey...' Honey...
This title should be able to prove everything, right?
Jacob stared coldly at the man in front of her, and a huge low pressure enveloped the hall.
Without saying anything else, he asked alone, "Are you in love?"
"Yes."
"No!"
"
The two voices were completely out of sync.
Cherry turned around and stared at the man who answered "yes", "Can you stop talking nonsense?"
"What does it have to do with you whether I am with her or not?" Moore stretched himself and smiled lazily.
"Humph!
Do you have a crush on me?" Moore laughed, "I'm sorry. I'm not a gay. I only like Cherry."
"Well, shut up, okay?" Cherry interrupted him.
She looked at Jacob and said, "Let's talk inside, okay?" She walked towards him.
He specially came to ask about it. What news had he heard?
What's wrong with him?
"No." said Jacob slowly, turning his head to look at her.
"He is just my guest." She stopped and suddenly explained.
"Humph!" The smile at the corners of Jacob's mouth was cold, "Unfortunately, my younger sister doesn't believe it."
His heart was full of disappointment.
At that time, the woman stood beside his younger sister and comforted her with all her heart, but today, she robbed her sweetheart and lied to clarify that he was just her guest.
The roses, with fresh dew, were placed in an elegant vase, which was within his sight.
With a provocative smile on his face, the cheeky man took a step closer and stood quietly behind her.
What else did she want to hide?
How could she deny the truth in such an impeccable tone to the public?
He knew she was smart and she would make the best choice, but it was not the case. It was really not the case.
He shook his head and smiled bitterly, "Nancy is right."
The name made Moore's face change dramatically. "What did you say?"
He narrowed his eyes and asked, "What is the relationship between Nancy and you?"
"What does it have to do with you?" He said sarcastically, "Cherry, just watch how he dumped my younger sister today. He will treat you like this in the future."
"Nonsense!" Moore sneered, "Nancy is just an obedient girl that my father has tried his best to give me. I have never liked her at all. She always looked at me with tearful eyes and apologized pitifully. I'm also very annoyed with such a soft woman pestering me, okay?"
Jacob clenched his fists.
His younger sister, no matter how bad she was, was still a treasure in his eyes.
What's more, Nancy was sensible and considerate since she was a child. Although she was a little silly, he felt particularly sorry for her.
But now, in the eyes of the one she loved, she had been belittled to such an extent...
It was unbearable!
He narrowed his eyes and said, "Bastard! Nancy is blind to fall in love with you!"
He really wanted to punch him hard.
Seeing a hint of sternness in his eyes, Cherry quickly pulled him and said, "Let's go inside and have a talk."
Moore tried to catch up with them.
"Don't come. Stay in the box. After dinner, please leave right away." Said Cherry in a hurry.
She pulled Jacob into the No.1 box. ☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐
