Chapter 4

I mocked: "Oh, so you do know it's improper for men and women to live together? I thought you didn't."

Jacob realized that I was doing this because I was unhappy about him letting Lily stay at our house:

"Olivia, can you stop being dramatic? You were the one who agreed to let Lily stay, and now you're the one who moved to Ryan's house. What exactly do you want?"

"I pretended to agree as a test for you, and unfortunately, you failed the test." I didn't want to say more to him, just added, "That's all. Ryan has cut some fruit for me, I'm going to eat now."

The last sentence was clearly meant to mock him.

Jacob grabbed his jacket, intending to come to Ryan's house to find me.

As he passed through the living room, Lily called out to him: "Jacob, I heard everything just now. It seems Olivia doesn't welcome me. How about this, I'll pack my things and leave now."

Jacob stopped and explained to her: "Don't take it to heart, Olivia is just throwing a little tantrum. I'll go get her, she'll come back with me."

"I don't want you two to fight because of me, I should leave." Lily said as she went to the guest room to pack her luggage.

Seeing that she wasn't joking, Jacob quickly put down his jacket and went to comfort her: "Don't you have nowhere else to stay right now? Even if you want to leave, there's no rush. I've bought so much fruit for you."

"Jacob, you're so kind. If only I had chosen you back then..." Lily sighed, her eyes revealing a hint of regret.

Jacob's ears turned red, and he asked eagerly: "Lily, why didn't you choose me back then?"

Lily smiled lightly and said: "There were too many people pursuing me back then, and sometimes people make the wrong choice. Let's not talk about the past."

Perhaps Lily's words gave Jacob hope. He decided not to go to Ryan's house to find me.

He solemnly said to Lily: "Don't leave. This isn't your fault, it's Olivia's. She's too petty."

"You stay here. If she wants to stay at Ryan's house, let her." After saying this, Jacob asked Lily to go to the living room and continue eating fruit.

Lily then said: "By the way, can you accompany me to my prenatal check-up tomorrow?"

"Of course, tomorrow is Saturday. Even if it wasn't, I could take time off to accompany you." Jacob agreed without hesitation, revealing his true nature as a devoted admirer.

"You're such a good man, Olivia is so lucky." Lily praised Jacob, then went on to criticize me, "You're so good to her, yet she still picks fights with you. I feel like you deserve better."

"Ah, her temper is indeed a bit much, unlike you who's so understanding." Jacob sighed, looking at Lily with newfound interest.

Lily smiled coyly, and the two exchanged meaningful glances.
