Winning Her Heart Again

Chapter 76: He Got My Number Again. Jasmine's POV

I noticed that Rhian is not on herself right now. I don't know what is wrong with her. I watched her spill coffee on the table, which made her hysterical. Then she started cleaning up the mess she had made.

"Are you okay?" Erica held her hand when she approached her. She smiled at her, but I knew Erica found it unusual for Rhian to be careless. I called Rhian inside and let her sit on the couch.

"Is there something wrong?" I asked her. She couldn't even look straight into my eyes. She shook her head and smiled at me at the end.

But I don't believe her. I have never seen her like this before.

"Common, you can talk to me " I went beside her. She looked into my eyes, and I could see tears forming in them.

I hugged her, and she cried on my shoulder. I caress her back while letting her cry.

I don't know what is wrong with her, but I sometimes notice that she and Jacob talk to each other.

"I-I don't know what to do," she cried. We separated from each other while she was wiping her tears. This was the first time I'd seen her like this.

"Tell me, what happened?" I asked her while holding her hand. Rhian is like a younger sister to me. When I'm the one in this kind of situation, she always convinces me that I should throw a tantrum at her. She's willing to listen to me whenever I have problems. "I met Jacob's Parents. He introduced me to them" She smiled, which I was happy to hear, but I didn't know why she was crying.

"That's great, but why are you crying right now? What really happened to you?" I asked her and gave her a tissue.

"I thought it would be easy, but I didn't expect that they would mock me in front of Jacob," she said, forcing herself not to cry.

I was tuned to what I heard. What? But how could they reject Someone like Rhian? She has this high salary and has also finished college. Not only that, but she's also beautiful and smart. That's why I don't understand what she meant.

"But why would they do that?!" I couldn't stop getting mad. Jacob and Rhian are just the same. She even has a higher salary than her.

"It turned out that Jacob is Rich. It's just that he ran away from his family because he didn't want to be the heir of their company. He just wants a simple life." He said that I really don't have any idea about Jacob's life.

Is that why they don't like Rhian for Jacob? I feel sorry for Rhian, but even I don't know what to say. I have already experienced those things that she already knew.

How Travis' mom hated me so badly because she wanted her son to Marry a rich girl just like them. She couldn't accept me until now. And after that wedding, I've never seen her again.

"Did Jacob defend you?" I asked

her. I wanted to know her answer.

It's really hard when your loved one's parents don't really like you or can't accept you. We can't do anything about that, even if we serve them so badly. If they really don't like you, then they will always criticize your job, the way you look, your status in life, or even your love for your son.

They will accuse you of being a golddigger and say that you only love their son for his money.

These days, it's really hard to find a kind mother-in-law. When they know that you are not up to their standards, they will look at you like a small person.

He defended me, of course. When

his parents asked him to choose between them and me, He didn't hesitate to choose me, which made me scared. Because her mom threatened him that if he still stayed with me, he would lose everything," She said, crying. I hugged her. I can feel her. She's in deep thought and hurt.

When I was in that situation, I tried to fight for my love for Travis, and he did the same. But I wasn't expecting that he cheated on me. I said to myself that all the sacrifices I've been through were useless because of what he did. But maybe their story is different. I just couldn't find the words to comfort her.

"What is important is that you love each other. I just don't know how to help you with that, Rhian, but one thing is for sure: You can live without them. Beth of you are grown now. Follow what makes you happy Rhian, and I think you should talk to Jacob rather than avoid him," I said, which made her look at me.

I smiled at her and stood up.

"Common, he's waiting outside. Both of you should talk and decide what is best," I added while Jacob was looking at her with those worried eyes.

She hugged me for the last time before going out of my office. Jacob hugged her, which made her do the same.

Jacob never hesitates to choose her, and I'm happy to hear that. I just wish that they would still choose each other.

I know parents know the best, but forbidding your son or your daughter to choose the person they love is not right. It's just that they also want to stay with the person they really love.

"Ma'am Jaz, Ms. Bianca called and she said that they needed you in the venue" Erica said which made me nod.

I forgot. I need to go there because we will have a meeting about Travis' suggestions. That man is really making a way to irritate me.

"Yes, I'll just message her that I'm coming," I said. She smiled before leaving my office.

I just grabbed my purse and my key and went directly to my car. My phone vibrated, so I answered it, though it was an unknown number again.

"Hello?" I asked the other line, but there was no response. I was about to end the call when I heard a voice.

"This is Travis. I just want to tell you that we are waiting for you," he said. I didn't talk and hurriedly ended the call.

Damn him. He got the number again.
