Your Love Is My Weapon novel Chapter 400

Bridget glanced at him and went into the kitchen to make a fruit bowl.

Daisy sat opposite him. When he'd walked in and out the house behind Xavier in the past, she'd taken him as a part of this family, someone so familiar that she'd never bother to pay much attention.

Daisy eyed him up and down. He had impressive features and an angular face contour.

Her gaze made Jacob's hair stand on end.

The atmosphere was so weird for him.

"You must be very tired recently. Please feel free to come by. You've worked for Xavier for so long and I've long regarded you as a family."

"Okay…"

Jacob replied, not knowing where to look at.

"Well, there's something I need to deal with in the company. I..."

"Bridget, you're not done yet?" Daisy deliberately interrupted Jacob and urged Bridget.

In fact, the fruit bowl was long ready, but Bridget just stayed in the kitchen.

Daisy called her and she had to come out.

She put the bowl on the table and sat on the sofa with Jacob.

Seeing them sitting together, Daisy found that Bridget and Jacob looked just right for each other.

Daisy pushed the fruit bowl toward Jacob. "Knock yourself out."

Bridget took out a piece of apple using a fork and handed it to Jacob. Jacob gave her a look and finally understood why she had ridiculously proposed marriage to him.

It felt strange to be fixed up with her.

He chewed the apple and thought that it would kill him if this was what he would face in the Jones Family after marrying Bridget.

"I'm going to check on Ramona. Bridget, keep Jacob entertained." Daisy excused herself to give them some time alone.

When Daisy entered the room, Jacob suddenly slouched.

Bridget grinned. "Sorry to make you embarrassed."

Jacob scratched his head in irritation. "Don't tell me that will happen every time I come here."

Bridget sighed. "That's my everyday life. She keeps nagging me into going to the company to help my sister-in-law," Bridget leaned over and whispered, "But actually she just wants me to spend more time with you. She asked me to invite you to dinner yesterday. I got off saying that I had diarrhea. I'm under much more pressure than you."

That was true. They lived together. Of course, Bridget was pestered every day.

Jacob realized that he was not the most suffered one.

"Go if you have work to do," Bridget said.

"But your mother..."

"You leave for work. She can say nothing about it." Bridget stood up. "I'll see you off."

Jacob rose and they walked out shoulder to shoulder.

"Your sister-in-law is not in good spirits these days." Jacob turned to Bridget. "I'm worried."

Bridget didn't notice that.

Arya spent a lot of time in the company, and after she came home, she stayed with Ryan and Ramona. Bridget had noticed nothing unusual.

"Do you notice anything off?" Bridget asked uneasily.

Jacob thought about it carefully. Arya was fine except that she lost in thought a lot. Maybe it was all in his mind.

"No. I was just saying. Anyway, spend more time with her and take her to have a walk outside," Jacob advised.

Bridget nodded. "I know she's under a lot of pressure."

After Jacob left, Bridget returned to the house. Thinking of Jacob's words, she walked to the study and knocked on the door.

No one answered. Bridget knocked again.

Someone answered this time. Bridget pushed the door open and walked in.

"Arya."

Arya stood up from her chair. "Is Ramona awake?"
