Chapter 326 You Were Lucky
Hearing what Faye said, Jake leaned back on the couch. He raised his head with a hand covering his eyes.
"Faye, you are lucky.
"You’re very lucky to encounter a guy like Colin."
Faye uttered, "Jake."
"Mm-hmm." Jake’s voice sounded low.
Faye said calmly, "Alexander and his grandma live next door to you. Don't worry. His grandma is very nice. She won’t judge you."
Jake was short of breath and fell silent.
Faye knitted her brows while holding the phone. After a few seconds, she hung up and called Alexander.
At the same time, Alexander, with an apron, was making pies with his grandma in the kitchen.
Hearing the phone ringing, Alexander leaned against the cupboard and fished out his phone. After taking a glance at his phone screen, he picked it up smilingly, "Happy New Year, Faye."
Faye responded, "Happy New Year."
She then hurriedly added, "Alexander, do me a favor, please."
Alexander thought it was to investigate something. He arched his eyebrows and asked, "Has it to be today?"
Faye perceived that Alexander misunderstood her, so she explained, "It’s not to investigate things but to check on Jake next door."
Alexander was a little confused and asked, "Why?"
Faye said truthfully, "Alexander, Jake is actually my friend. He suffers from skin hunger. He was talking with me on the phone a moment ago, and he sounded like having a relapse."
Alexander was wordless.
Alexander was not surprised that Jake and Faye were friends. Instead, he was taken aback by the truth that a psychologist actually had a mental illness.
Alexander was stunned for a moment. Then, he scratched his hair with flour on his hand, asking, "What can I do?"
Faye seriously answered, "Hug him and say something soothing."
Alexander was wordless again.
Faye took a breath and continued, "Don’t worry. Jake and James are different."
Alexander said awkwardly, "Well, I didn't think that way."
With that, Alexander briefly told his grandma what he was about to do. After hanging up, he went out to knock on Jake’s door opposite.
Before long, Jake opened the door.
Catching sight of Jake, who wrapped himself up with a quilt tightly, Alexander stroked the tip of his nose and uttered unnaturally, "Hey, Faye said you were having a relapse."
Jake said, "Not true."
Alexander pursed his lips and said, "If not, why are you wrapping yourself up like this? It’s pretty warm in the room."
Jake always appeared gentle and elegant. However, he looked completely different now as he said indifferently, "None of your business."
With that, Jake was about to close the door.
