Seeing David leave, Jacob sat in a daze for more than ten minutes. He didn't come back himself until his mother called him.
Just now, his father had clearly sensed that there was something more with his words, but why didn't he listen to his explanation and stopped blaming him?
"I don't believe my son is a sentimental man,"
With that, his father stood up and left.
what did he mean?
What was he talking about?
Was he referring to Nicole?
"Jacob, what are you looking at?"
Hearing his mother's concern, Jacob came back to his senses. "Oh, nothing. Mom, you came downstairs."
"Well, how was your talk with your father?"
In fact, Albertan didn't get involved in the conversation. Therefore, she had no idea of Jacob's resistance and conditions.
In the Albertan's opinion, even if her son was smart, he could not shake her husband's authority.
Therefore, she pretended to be regretful and sighed. She touched Jacob's shoulder and comforted him, "I know you don't want to marry Daisy, but there are some things that are destined to happen and we can't solve them ourselves. You can't change your father's mind. "
"Mom, I won't marry Daisy." Jacob didn't follow his mother's words and talked back.
Just then, the housekeeper of the main house came in. He walked straight to Jacob, bowed a little and respectfully said, "Mr. Jacob, Mr. David asked you to leave the main house immediately."
Jacob narrowed his eyes. He knew that his father had agreed with his proposal.
"What?" Shocked, Albertan stood up immediately and looked at the old housekeeper in disbelief.
"Mom, I'm fine. You don't need to worry about me." Jacob comforted Albertan and turned to the housekeeper, "I'm leaving now. Tell my father that I will give the shares and operation of those companies to him as soon as possible."
"Yes." the housekeeper nodded.
Albertan was panicked. She grabbed Jacob's arm and asked anxiously, "what are you doing? Did you quarrel with your father?"
Jacob took a deep breath and said solemnly in his mother's worried eyes, "Mom, I didn't agree on the marriage with Daisy, so Dad..."
"So he wants to kick you out?" Albertan grabbed Jacob's arm and said, "you know your father has a bad temper. Why did you piss him off? Just a wedding. Why can't you agree? "
Jacob knew that Daisy had done a good job these days. And she had been deeply touched by his mother. At present, his mother wanted him to get married, so he didn't want to explain more. He insisted, "I don't want to get married. Especially I don't want to be forced to get married."
Albertan was exasperated at Jacob's failure to live up to her expectations. "Even if your father kicks you out, it doesn't matter?"
"I certainly don't want to be expelled, but mom, if I stay to face the marriage I don't want, I'd rather leave."
"You..."
"Mom, I'm sorry." Jacob tightly hugged Albertan and said, "when my father come around and agrees to let me come back, I'll come to see you again. I'm leaving."
He strode away before Albertan could react.
He believed that within half a day, the Yu family would receive the news, and Daisy would make trouble because of his refusal. So at this moment, the best way for him was to hide from the wind.
It was not until Jacob drove back to the villa that he knew that Nicole had gone home.
He checked his phone belatedly and saw the message from Nicole. He was afraid that something would go wrong, so his phone was muted, and he did not hear the message at all.
Staring at the text for a few seconds, he made a call.
The phone rang for a while before it was picked up.
Nicole deliberately lowered her voice, "Hello, what's wrong?"
"Get yourself ready. I'll ask the driver to pick you up."
