Married a Secret Billionaire novel Chapter 1276

Abigail pinched herself secretly to confirm she wasn't dreaming.

Jacob held a plate with two pieces of dessert. He wore a gentle smile as he handed it to her.

"I wasn't sure which one you'd like, so I brought both," he said softly. "I've checked this one. It's low in sugar and won't make you gain weight. It's okay to have a little."

Abigail couldn't hide her smile as their hands touched when she received the plate. Her heart skipped a beat, and her mind went blank.

Jacob wasn't doing much better. He had impulsively stood up to defend her when he saw her surrounded by the press, but he worried he had done more harm than good.

What if the troublesome reporters started writing fake stories about her, making her life even more difficult?

He brought two desserts to make amends and handed them over. His heart started racing like never before when he accidentally brushed her hand.

They both blushed and lowered their heads, unable to look at each other.

"T-Thank you for just now," Abigail's voice was barely audible.

"It's fine, just doing what I can. I hope it doesn't cause you more problems."

"Hey!" Someone suddenly shouted.

Abigail and Jacob turned their heads simultaneously and noticed Jackie standing behind them. He crossed his arms, pushed up his glasses, and pointed at them indignantly.

"What kind of trouble are you causing? It's like you two are the trouble itself!

"Mr. Welsh! Do you know how many times I've created opportunities for you? I even dismantled the battery of the van to keep it in the workshop for a few more days. All for the sake of getting you two together!

"Our Abigail was being criticized like that today, and I endured it without saying a word!

"Mr. Welsh, I've done everything I could for you. Why are you still so clueless?"

Jackie stomped his foot in frustration and drew the attention of some other artists. They turned their heads and smiled at the scene.

"It's just 'I like you'! I'll say it for you both if you're not saying it!"

Abigail blushed and nearly lost her footing.

"He likes you!" Jackie pointed at Jacob and then at Abigail to tell Jacob, "She likes you too!"

"Jackie!" Abigail widened her eyes, looking as though she might cry.

She carefully glanced at Jacob and found that he did not seem averse to the situation. On the contrary, he was smiling affectionately with sparkling eyes.

As everyone around them applauded with smiles, Lina walked over with Zuko, both wearing looks of blessing on their faces.

Lina exclaimed happily, hugging Abigail tightly. "It's finally out in the open!"

Abigail was still feeling a bit dazed, but joy filled her heart.

Zuko patted Jacob on the shoulder, congratulating him for finally getting the girl.

"Hey, Mr. Hamerton isn't exactly accurate!" someone joked. "Mr. Welsh hasn't held Abigail in his arms yet. How can he say he's 'gotten the girl'?"

"That's right! Give her a hug!"
