Back in Love novel Chapter 358

Jacob admitted that Lola's guess was probably true.

Ellie wouldn't easily be with such a person as Murphy. So they must have some common interests, and their common enemy was Jacob. It was very likely that they had done something behind Jacob's back.

Looking at Lola in front of him, Jacob felt a little melancholy.

He didn't want her to be hurt, so he had to work harder to protect her.

"Don't think too much. I'll ask Barry to check what Ellie and Sean have done recently and tell you if there is any news. Don't worry."

"Every time you ask me not to worry. But how can I not worry at all... I'm really scared..."

Jacob held Lola tightly in his arms and comforted her in a low and deep voice.

"Don't be afraid. I will try my best to protect you."

Lola shook her head and frowned, "I'm worried about you... Their first target will definitely be you! Jacob! Do you understand? I won't be worried about myself, but you are different! You are shouldering the Gu Family, grandma's expectations, and my... my expectation! You can't be hurt! I always feel that things are not that simple. It's like there is an invisible net that wants to destroy us all! Let us have no way to fight back!"

Jacob smiled and said, "Is your husband so vulnerable? Can you give me some confidence? Why don't you trust me?"

"I'm not kidding."

"I promise you that I will be on my guard and find out their purpose. I won't let myself be affected or make you sad!"

"Who will be sad?"

Lola breathed a sigh of relief and thought that as long as Jacob was on guard, everything would be fine.

"Don't worry. Anyone who offends me will suffer!"

Hearing that, Lola thought, 'What does he mean?

What is he going to do?'

She looked at Jacob seriously and said, "I'm so stupid that Murphy took advantage of my trust in him. I won't let him go easily! But you have to promise me that I will decide how to deal with him. Don't act rashly."

As for Sean and Ellie, they were from two powerful families, so they must be dealt with easily. It was just a small fight. They wouldn't be hurt.

So Lola's mere mention of Murphy made Jacob uncomfortable.

Hearing her request, Jacob frowned and asked in confusion, "Why?"

Lola was very guilty. She was afraid that Murphy would tell Jacob what had happened between them. Then Lola didn't know how she get along with Jacob.

Many days had passed, but Lola still didn't dare to tell Jacob.

"I have my own reason. Will you promise me?"

But in Jacob's heart, Lola's request seemed to mean that she still cared about Murphy, so she was afraid that he would hurt Murphy.

He slowly loosened his grip on Lola, calmly stood, and looked at her. "Okay. As you wish."

Noticing the change of Jacob's mood, Lola felt a little nervous. Subconsciously, she grabbed his hand and explained anxiously, "I'm not finding a reason for him, and I won't be easily manipulated by him. It's just that he's the husband of Kate and the father of Florence. I'm afraid that you'll be too cruel to him... Besides, I don't want you to be involved in something bad... We are not playing tricks like him, okay?"

Jacob said, "You don't need to explain, Lola. It's late at night. Let's go home."

Jacob thought that this topic was not suitable to go on.

"Jacob..."

Jacob didn't want to listen to Lola's words any more. He grabbed her hand and sent her to the car.

He focused on driving all the way, as if he didn't care about Lola's struggle and tangle at all.

Now facing Jacob, Lola was full of guilt and self-accusation.

"Ask Daisy to clean it up. It's so messy. I'd better sleep in the guest room."

"You know, it's useless no matter where you go." Jacob said lightly.

Lola turned around and stared at Jacob fiercely. "I'm not in good health now!"

It seemed that Jacob was surprised. He came over, pinched Lola's nose and said angrily, "What are you thinking about?! Am I a lecher?"

She frowned, bit her lips and blushed, "Aren't you? Did you change when you held me just now? And what did you do that night when you said you just hugged me to sleep? Don't think I didn't notice it!"

Jacob pulled the corners of his mouth awkwardly. He didn't have sex for a few days, so he was a little sensitive when he hugged her.

But he didn't expect that she blamed him for that.

And he didn't do anything to her that night!

So he just needed to solve it by himself.

Jacob coughed and asked, "What did you find out again?"

"You... I know you're a man, a sex animal. Although I have been away for such a long time, I have watched the domestic news!" Lola glared at Jacob and curled her lips. "Although your family is busy with business every day, there are a lot of gossips! It is clearly written on the news that you, Mr. Jacob, are sad because of runaway bride and tryst with supermodels at midnight! And you two played uniform temptation? I've seen it. That woman is Jewel? She came to see you... Oh, no, it's you coming to see her!"

Hearing what Lola said, instead of being nervous and flustered, Jacob smiled.

"Why are you still laughing?" She frowned, "Is it so funny?"

"If you really care about the gossip, you would have questioned me as soon as possible and don't wait until now. So it means that you believe me." Jacob came over and smiled wickedly. "And you ask me now not because you suspect me, but because you are jealous, which proves that you care about me very much! So why can't I smile happily?"
