Your Love Is My Weapon

Chapter 394

Jacob wanted to comfort her, but he didn't know what to say.

In fact, he admitted that Bridget was right.

After all, Edward was already married. It would be better for everyone to move on with their life.

However, it was too cruel to Edward.

"I'm sorry for using you as an excuse to reject Edward. He might hate you now." Bridget was deeply

sorry for Jacob.

Jacob grabbed his hair. "I'm fine, but you shouldn't use me. It hurts him too much."

She knew that she was thoughtless. But Jacob just happened to stand beside her when she was

confronting Edward.

"I'm sorry."

"It's okay." He couldn't really blame her. "Think about it before you act next time."

"Got it." She smiled at him. "Come back with me for dinner."

He hesitated for a moment, and she pulled his arm. "Just come with me. My family is quiet and

desolate these days. Maybe it will be more lively if you come."

Everyone would be in a better mood.

Jacob nodded and walked towards the house with her.

Inside, Arya helped prepare dinner in the kitchen, while Mr. Jones and Daisy were playing with two

children in the living room.

Bridget came back with Jacob, which made Daisy surprised.

Jacob greeted politely. "Sorry, I came without notice."

"Not at all. You're not an outsider. You should come and visit us more often." Daisy invited Jacob in and

called out to the kitchen, "Nanny May, get a glass of water here."

Nanny May replied, "Okay."

After Nanny May poured the water and left, Nanny Joy came over and took over the peeled lotus root

in Arya's hand. "Go and rest. I'll handle the things here."

After coming back from the hospital and staying in the Old Residence, Arya asked Nanny Joy to come

here with her. Now she and Nanny May were doing housework together.

She knew that Nanny Joy was concerned about her. But she didn't want to let herself be too idle, or

else she would think too much.

"It's okay. I'm not tired." She smiled and picked up the lotus root to continue peeling.

Nanny Joy sighed. Her heart was heavy. It was not easy for Arya to have a child safely. How could

such an unfortunate thing happen?

It was quick to get things done with more people, and it didn't take long for the dinner to be ready.

It wasn't the first time Jacob had eaten in the Jones Family, but he was especially uneasy today,

probably because Xavier was not here.

"Is there a lot going on at the company?" Mr. Jones, who never asked about the company, suddenly

asked.

Jacob glanced at Arya. "No, not really."

He then said nothing more.

Although Mr. Jones didn't know anything about the business world, he knew that it was not easy for

them to let the company run smoothly.

Not to mention that Xavier was not here now, and the burden was on Jacob and Arya.

And Mr. Jones was not able to help them. Xavier's incident hit him hard.

For two months, even if everyone kept silent, they knew that the hope was too slim.

"You've worked hard these days. The company is relying on you now." Mr. Jones's words were very

clear.

He wanted Jacob to take on more burden for Arya.

"Don't worry, I'll do my best." Jacob stood up and said solemnly.

Mr. Jones waved his hand. "Just take a seat."

Only then did Jacob sit down.

After dinner, Jacob was about to leave. Mr. Jones looked at Bridget and said, "Go and see him off."

She said calmly, "He's a part of the family and he knows the way."

"Just do what I ask." Mr. Jones emphasized.

Jacob quickly waved his hand. "No need..."

"I'll see you off." Bridget stood up.

Although she didn't understand what Mr. Jones meant, he was so serious that she couldn't refuse.

And he and Daisy were both depressed lately. She didn't want to disobey him.

Bridget saw Jacob off. Jacob turned to look at her. "What does Mr. Jones mean?"

She shook her head. "I don't know."

Jacob didn't think much and got into the car.

In the room, Mr. Jones got up and called Daisy. "Follow me into the study."

"Ramona is awake. I want to hug her..."

"Mom, I'll look after Ramona." Arya went to pick up the child.

Mr. Jones looked at Arya. "Come with me."

Daisy and Arya exchanged a baffled look. Mr. Jones was a little strange today. © 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.

"Go in and see what he's going to say," Daisy said.

Daisy came into the study and closed the door. The lights were on in the study.

Arya held Ramona sitting in a chair, Daisy sat opposite her, and Mr. Jones sat behind the desk.

Instead of mentioning Xavier, he asked Arya, "What do you think of Jacob?"

Arya was confused by the question. She didn't know why he would ask this question.

After thinking for a while, she said, "Jacob was capable. He's very loyal to Xavier."

She knew that his respect and support for her were just because of his friendship with Xavier.

Mr. Jones paused slightly. "Do you think he and Bridget are suitable?"

She was stunned.

Jacob and Bridget?

"What are you talking about?" Daisy raised her voice, clearly dissatisfied with his current proposal.

Mr. Jones seemed to have expected Daisy to be agitated.

He still calmly looked at Arya. "What do you think?"

Arya seemed to understand his intention.

Whether Xavier could come back or not, it was a good choice for Bridget to marry Jacob.

Especially at this time.

No matter how loyal Jacob was, he was not really a part of the Jones Family.

It would be different if Bridget married him. Then he would legally be a family member and would do his

best to serve the company.

"I'm afraid Bridget won't agree." After all, Bridget had divorced Jasper, and Edward had just gotten

married to another woman. It was hard for Bridget to accept a new relationship so soon.

"Arya, why are you as confused as him?" Daisy couldn't just sit there. "It's not that I don't like Jacob. I

think he's good, but now it's not a good time for a wedding..."

Mr. Jones sighed deeply. He understood, but...

He looked up at Daisy with blurry eyes. "We can't help with the company. Can you bear to let Arya

carry this burden alone? Ryan is ready to go to primary school. Ramona is still young and needs her

mother to accompany her."

Although they tried their best to take care of the children, the children still needed their parents to

accompany them. Xavier was missing. If Arya was too busy, she would not have time to spend more

time with her children.

Daisy clenched her hands together.

She had to admit that Mr. Jones's concerns made sense, but...
