Chapter 125 Planning to Confess One’s Love
Jake’s expression changed. He immediately consoled her. “There, there. Take your time and tell me everything.”
Ava sobbed as if she had suffered a great grievance. She could not even speak properly. “Chloe maliciously photoshopped some pictures to threaten me.”
As she said this, she turned on her phone and showed him the chat logs that Chloe had sent Content property of NôvelDra/ma.Org.
her.
After Jake read them, he felt a tinge of disbelief. “This chat log doesn’t seem to be photoshopped…”
“So you think I’m this kind of person?” Ava burst into aggrieved tears. “It’s a well-known fact that Mr. Adam is a playboy. Why would I hook up with him?”
Jake’s heart softened at her words. After struggling for a few seconds, he chose to believe her. After comforting her, he told her the things that he had been holding back for a few days.
“You know that my dad wants to build a company for me, but we need money right now. Can you please use your dowry to help me out first?”
He had no choice since his uncle did not want to lend him the money. Hence, he could only do what his uncle asked.
She instinctively retracted her hand while facing his extremely expectant gaze. She answered awkwardly, “I can’t decide on this. I have to discuss it with my dad.”
Jake breathed a sigh of relief. He hugged her excitedly. “I’ll wait for your good news.”
He was not wrong about her. His fiancee was willing to help him.

At Fairlight.
When one was busy, time passed quickly.
Chloe spent the day getting to know her colleagues in the same department as her. After finishing her work for the day, she received a text from Icarus asking if she was free.
After missing the meetup with him the other day because Harold was hospitalized, she became busy with work at Fairlight. Hence, she had not contacted him for a few days.
Chloe did not turn him down and promised to meet him at a cafe on the ground floor of Fairlight’s office building. Of course, she told Joseph about it for fear that he might make things difficult for her again.
Icarus was sitting near the window of the cafe. He was wearing a shirt and a vest coupled with
suit pants. His gold-rimmed glasses were a nice touch to his appearance, making him appear gentle and refined. His attire perfectly showcased his charms as a mature man.
Chloe arrived just on time. “You’re here early.”
“It’s fine. I just got here.” Icarus pushed a cup of hot chocolate toward her and asked curiously, “Why did you ask me to meet you at this cafe below Fairlight?”
At first, he had planned to bring her to an art exhibition before heading to a romantic. restaurant. Then lastly, he would confess his love for her while driving her home.
“Oh, I’m working at Fairlight now.”
“Hmm?” Icarus froze. He was extremely shocked. “Didn’t you tell me you were going to work at a small company?”
Chloe held her forehead helplessly and tried to beat around the bush. “Umm, there was a change of plans.”
She had presumed it was just a small company.
Icarus did not understand her, but he could tell that she was reluctant to dwell on the matter. Thus, he ended the topic and asked considerately, “Did you just get off work? Are you hungry? Let me take you out for a meal. We can chat while eating.”
“I’m not hungry. We can just chat here.”
“Umm, okay.”
He could not force her since she disagreed. However, he felt that it was too informal to confess his love in a cafe, finding it rather weird.
Chloe noticed something strange about him, so she pursed her lips and spoke first. “Is Jake your nephew?”
Icarus was slightly stunned. His gaze turned complicated. “You know everything?”
“Mm-hm, I learned about it recently. Why didn’t you tell me?”
“I was worried that it would affect our relationship, but I did help teach him a lesson.” Icarus said solemnly, “I won’t let him bully you ever again. Don’t let him affect our relationship, okay?”
For a moment, complicated feelings emerged in Chloe’s heart. She believed that Icarus had taught Jake a lesson. Otherwise, Jake would not have reacted so strongly previously.
She did not marry Jake’s uncle, but the one who helped her deal with the scumbag was still Jake’s uncle.
“No, that won’t happen.”
She believed that Icarus was a reasonable man who could differentiate right from wrong.
Chapter 125 Planning to Confess One’s Love
“Great. Allow me to apologize to you for everything Jake did to you in the past. He isn’t so lucky to have you since you guys broke up with each other.”
Chloe’s lips twitched before she cracked a sarcastic smile. “Well, that’s true. If he was as smart as you, things wouldn’t have turned out this way.”
Ava cheated on Jake to such an outrageous extent, but Jake still believed that Ava was the gentlest and most virtuous woman in the world.
Being a smart man, Icarus instantly discerned the underlying meaning of her words. “Do you know something? Can you tell me about it?”
