285 | Don't Hate You
Anna tried to leave when she finished.
Wayne shouted, "Hey! Anna! Where are you going?"
“It's none of your concern!" Anna was irritated. She then walked down the stairs and out of the hotel.
Wayne was right behind Anna as she stepped out of the elevator. Anna reacted quickly, closing the door to keep Wayne out. She soon arrived on the first floor.
Anna had already gotten into a car when Wayne stepped out of the other elevator and made his way to the front of the hotel.
When Wayne noticed she was sitting next to a man, he clenched his fist in regret and called her.
The limo then left the city center. Anna's cell phone kept ringing and echoing in the car at that point.
“Are you not answering your phone?" Jacob, who was sitting next to her, asked.
•Anna hung up the phone, turned to Jacob and said, "It's none of your business. Driver, please just park at the intersection. I'll take a cab home."
Jacob shook his head, saying, "No, I'll take you home. It's late, and I'll be worried about you if you do that."
•Anna refused right away, "Well, you can guess why | just got into your car. You don't have to be so polite with me."
"I'm not doing this just to be polite to you, Anna."
Anna gave him a cold stare and didn't want to speak to him. Jacob wanted to say something, but when he saw how indifferent she was, he shut his mouth.
"Anna, | have something to say to you," he said after a while.
Anna frowned and said, "Well, if you want to talk about what happened before, then you should shut up now. | don't want to talk about those things anymore, and there's nothing we can do about those ugly memories.'’
Jacob raised his eyes to Anna and said, "Oh, | know | deserve to suffer all the consequences. | shouldn't have been seduced by Lillian in the first place, and | shouldn't have broken up with you. | didn’t realize how much | adored you until after | had left you. You are the only person | will ever love."
"Hey, what exactly are you trying to say?"
Jacob replied, "I know it's out of the blue, but | just want you to not hate me.”
Anna expected Jacob to have a small speech, but all he did was offer this desperately.
When she looked at Jacob, she realized he was no longer the gentle and confident young man he had been in college. Time and his experiences had changed him, and he no longer looked energetic.
At that point, Anna became confused and couldn't recall why she had fallen in love with him
After a long silence, Anna exclaimed, "I don't hate you, and no one is to blame. You know, it's all due to fate. So, I'm not going to blame you. | was so preoccupied with my job after moving to America that | didn't have time to think about my feelings. Plus, it would be better if you stopped saying things like you'll never fall in love ever again ."
Hearing Anna's words, he blinked awkwardly. "You still have many years ahead of you, so you don't know who you'll meet. Even if Lillian is not the woman you love the most in this life, it could be someone else.”
Jacob, on the other hand, insisted on taking Anna home. Anna didn't tell him where she lived, but his driver appeared well-versed in the area. They arrived at her apartment quickly.
"Thank you, Jacob," Anna said as the car stopped.
Jacob smiled and tried not to appear upset. "Do you need me to explain anything to him?" he asked, looking out the window.
Anna looked out of the window and noticed Wayne standing still like a streetlight in the distance.
"No, thanks."
