Chapter 1781
It wasn’t until Larry encountered trouble that Shawn had to face reality.
He had planned to reach out to Jacob, but Jacob was totally MIA.
Calls went to voicemail, and messages were left unread!
When Shawn finally got hold of Jacob’s assistant, all he got was, “Maybe you should try Mr. and Mrs. Silverman, they
might be your last hope. There’s no point in seeking out President Strand, he’s not himself anymore”
The old Jacob was a charmer, the life of the party.
He rarely blew his top, he seldom showed dissatisfaction in public
But now, he was like a man frozen in time, silence being his new normal.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtHis downtime was no longer spent socializing.
He would just stay in the apartment he once shared with Erica, staring out the window in a daze.
The only thing that seemed to bring him back to life was a golden-shaded cat he got after being discharged from
the hospital.
The assistant knew that cat was something Miss Erica had wanted.
He even witnessed how Miss Erica had an argument with President Strand because he didn’t agree to buy a cat,
something he had personally seen. Now, Erica no longer needed Jacob, but Jacob went ahead and got the cat.
The assistant felt a pang of regret.
Rosalynn arrived in H City around the 4 in the morning, she didn’t go anywhere else but straight to Jacob’s place,
contacting his assistant on the way “Maybe I should call President Strand?” The assistant hesitated by the door.
Rosalynn waved him off and punched in the code. A code she got from Erica.
After two crisp beeps, the machine voice chimed in, “Welcome home.”
The assistant became nervous.
“This has nothing to do with you, I let myself in,” Rosalynn chuckled, “You’ve been working hard, take the day off.”
“But President Strand……
“Don’t worry, if there’s trouble, you can come work for me!” Rosalynn quipped.
The assistant quickly nodded in excitement.
Jacob’s assistant was a hard worker. Rosalynn’s intentions were clear, she made no bones about it.
Jacob’s sleep now relied on three sleeping pills a night.
It was a drug-dependent sleep.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmEvery time he woke up, he seemed a bit out of it
He lay in bed, counted to three, then looked over to the other side.
There was only the kitten on the pillow, not the person he wanted to see.
Jacob got up, cradled the kitten in his arms, and walked out barefoot.
Once outside, he thought he saw someone sitting on the couch.
Jacob jolted awake, then, filled with hope, he strode over.
“Erica…”
Just as he called out, he got a good look at the person on the couch.
“Good morning”
Rosalynn quickly waved at Jacob, a sort of greeting
Seeing a stranger, the kitten got scared and burrowed into Jacob’s pajamas.
The joy on Jacob’s face slowly faded, the light in his eyes dimmed, and he instantly reverted to his usual somber
self.
