Married a Secret Billionaire novel Chapter 1240

Abigail whispered, "What's going on? He's not even saying a word?"

"Oh, Ms. Fox, I'm sorry!" Aaron's manager followed behind, trying to explain. "Aaron didn't mean to ignore you!"

Abigail paused, asking, "Then what did he mean?"

'Of course, he was afraid to talk to you!' the manager thought.

The manager forced a laugh and said, "He's preoccupied. He went to check his studio for any signs of tax evasion!"

Abigail felt like turning into a statue on the spot.

"Still pretending after all this?" Lina's playful voice came from behind.

Abigail quickly turned around and spotted Lina, elegantly dressed in a red embroidered dress that showcased her grace.

Lina walked over, laughing at Abigail's ruined cake.

"You two are so obvious that even outsiders can see it clearly. Why are you both hiding and avoiding instead?"

"W-We're not..." Abigail blushed. "Jacob… He couldn't possibly..."

"Couldn't possibly like you?" Lina sighed. "If he doesn't like you, then why is he so hostile toward Aaron? They don't know each other at all. There's no reason for it."

Abigail lowered her head and fell silent. She had her own concerns. Dating in the entertainment industry wasn't easy. If her relationship with Jacob were exposed, it would bring unnecessary trouble for him. Even if they wanted to stay together, would the fans and paparazzi leave them alone?

Regular people could hold hands in public when they dated, but not her. Every detail of her relationship would be scrutinized. They would be rumored to have broken up and reconciled countless times.

Jacob might have a good temper, but he probably wouldn't handle all of that well. He needed a quiet life, not one under the spotlight day in and day out.

Taking a deep breath, Abigail forced a smile.
