Chapter 63 Jacob Breaks Up
Hearing Jacob’s words, Gerald was speechless.
As a son–in–law who had been bullied for three years, Gerald thought that he was miserable enough. But compared with Jacob, he felt that jacob was really unlucky.
He frowned and said, “What about her brother? What does her brother think?”
Jacob curled his lips and said, “Don’t mention it. Her brother always goofs around and likes to gamble. But he is the only male descendant in the family, so he has been spoiled since childhood. I can’t do anything about that.”
As he said this, he looked at Gerald and asked, “Gerald, give me a suggestion. What should I do?”
Gerald touched his nose and said, “Did your girlfriend consider your life after you got married? If you borrowed 160 thousand dollars, after you got married, you would have to pay the mortgage and the debt together. Did she not consider this?”
Jacob said dejectedly, “She probably doesn’t want to marry me. She just wants me to back down. But we have been dating for six years. I love her very much, and I can feel that she loves me. It’s just that…”
Gerald let out a sigh and said, “Jacob, to be honest. I think you should break up. You should calm down and analyze your current situation. If you gave them 160 thousand dollars and you got married, what would happen next?
“Your girlfriend is obviously helping her brother. He is a gambler, and you don’t know how many debts you will have to pay for him. In the future, not only will you raise your own family, but you also have to raise her family. It’s fine if you raise her parents, but do you want to raise her brother, to take care of him even after he gets married and has children?” Gerald calmly analyzed the situation for Jacob.
Jacob had a conflicted look on his face.
He was just an ordinary person. After his girlfriend put forward such a request, Jacob had already thought of breaking
up.
It was just that he really liked his girlfriend. After all, they had been together for six years.
Of course, the reason why Gerald asked him to break up was that he felt that Jacob could be able to find a better woman than his current girlfriend.
From Jacob’s reaction, Gerald had already made up his mind to help Jacob. At the very least, he would not let Jacob worry about money for the rest of his life.
“You have a point.” Jacob let out a sigh and said, “But I still don’t want to leave her.”
“Jacob.”
At this time, a sound came from the entrance of the community.
Gerald and Jacob turned to look. At the entrance of the community, two people walked over. One was a middle–aged man, and the other was a girl.
Jacob said in a low voice, “She is my girlfriend, Kelly Frost. The other person is her father, Derek Frost.”
Gerald narrowed his eyes slightly. He had thought that Kelly should be a beauty, but she is just agreeable. Being surrounded by beauties like Valery and Audrey, Gerald only thought that Kelly was not beautiful at all.”
At this time, they walked over and looked at Gerald. Derek looked at Jacob and said, “Jacob, Kelly is old enough to get married and couldn’t afford to waste her youth. If you don’t have 160 thousand dollars, don’t waste her time. Just break up with her.”
Kelly looked calm. Obviously, she had chased Jacob out just to break up with him, and her father thought the same.
Jacob’s expression changed slightly. He looked at Kelly and Derek and sighed, “You’re over the top. In fact, as long as
you
don’t ask for too much, I will be filial to you. Although I don’t earn much, my salary is above the average standard in Sacramento. Since you have decided, Kelly and I can only break up.”
After he said this, Gerald could feel that Jacob had been drained of strength.
When Kelly heard that, her expression changed slightly, but she quickly regained her calm.
“Don’t blame us. Blame yourself for not being able to give Kelly happiness.” Derek looked at Jacob and said, “That’s enough. In the future, let’s be parted forever.”
Jacob gritted his teeth and nodded.
Gerald slightly raised his eyebrows and said, “The price of marriage is too high. I thought that they were selling their daughters.”
Jacob was angry, but his edges had long been smoothed by reality. When he heard what Gerald said, he did not interrupt Gerald. After all, he thought the same.
