However, the place Jacob’s hand had landed and was blocking…
Abigail looked down, and Jacob realized something at that moment—his hand was touching her chest!
“Ahh, sorry, sorry!” Jacob exclaimed, sweating from the shock. He quickly retracted his hand as if he had been
electrocuted.
‘Oh no! I am doomed!’ he thought.
He had touched her there out of panic. Would Abigail think he was an experienced pervert?
He shut his eyes in embarrassment, wanting to disappear. He wished he could bury himself in a hole.
“I-I’m alright,” Abigail said, blushing. She couldn’t hide the smile on her face.
At the same time, Abigail looked up and noticed a woman running over through the window. She realized it was Gia.
‘So, it was Gia who stopped the car?’ she thought.
Abigail bit her lip as the moment of happiness of being ‘intimate’ with Jacob was gone. She crossed her arms,

But what was she fighting for? Gia was his official girlfriend, and what was she to him?
Abigail’s expression sank, and she took a deep breath. Looking at Jacob, she said, “I’ll sit at the back. Your girlfriend
is here.”
Jacob panicked. He almost slipped and said, “She’s not my girlfriend!”
But thinking of the mission Zuko had assigned to him, he clenched his fists and swallowed his words.
Abigail sighed. As she was about to remove the seatbelt, she suddenly felt a skinny hand holding it. The warmth of
his palm surprised her.
“Jacob, Jacob!” Gia slammed the car window.
Jacob, who usually had a good temper, rolled his eyes hard and pressed the button to wind down the window.
Gia was angry to see Abigail sitting in the passenger’s seat. “Hey, w-what’s this? Why is she here!?”
Abigail was angry too. However, Gia was the official girlfriend in this scenario. Her feelings for Jacob were
shameless, so she thought she would just tolerate this.
But someone else was unwilling to tolerate it.
Jacob’s voice was low and cold as he enunciated each word clearly. “What do you mean? Ms. Abigail hurt her foot. I
sent her to the hospital. What’s wrong with that?”
“You…” Gia’s cheeks flushed, her voice shaking.
“When I ask you to pick me up, you tell me you don’t want to drive because gas is expensive and ask me to save
money by taking the train… So, you’re not complaining about gas prices when it’s her?”
Moreover, Gia had only been in his car twice. He would get her to sit at the back every time.
Jacob had sugarcoated his response twice. “The passenger seat isn’t safe. Sit behind me. That’s the safest place!”
Gia used to think it was sweet of her boyfriend to say that. She even posted on social media to show him off.
However, she was rendered speechless by a comment. [Are you sure your boyfriend didn’t ask you to sit at the
back because he doesn’t want to see your face?]
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmGia was angry but didn’t take it to heart. She treated those haters’ comments as jealousy.
However, seeing Abigail sitting in the passenger’s seat with her own eyes made her feel otherwise. It was the
girlfriend’s exclusive seat!
“What’s wrong with you, Jacob!” she screamed. “Who is your girlfriend exactly!?”
“Okay, stop it. Why are you screaming?” Jacob looked annoyed. “Ms. Abigail hurt her foot. She can’t really walk. So
what if I got her to sit in the passenger’s seat and send her home?
“Gia, I noticed you’re becoming more and more irrational. You’re being dramatic about such a small thing!
“How are you any different from a shrew to be behaving like this? I thought you were a thoughtful person who
wouldn’t be calculating. I think I was wrong about you!”
Jacob’s words shocked Abigail, but there was a strange feeling about it—almost a sense of satisfaction.
It was weird. When she misunderstood him as Lina’s boyfriend, she wanted to teach him a lesson, thinking he was a
douchebag when she saw him taking Gia to the party.
But now…
Gia was pale with rage, glaring fiercely at Abigail.
“Wait, something doesn’t add up.” Jacob turned his head to look at Gia. “I brought Ms. Abigail to treat her foot. It’s
late, so what are you doing at the hospital?”
