Jacob found that when he faced Xavier, his heart instinctively shuddered.
He looked at Xavier with an extremely serious expression. He knew what Xavier was worried about. Anyway, Bridget was his sister. Suddenly, he was the one who got married to her.
"Bridget and I don't love each other, but we respect each other. I will never ask for a divorce without her mentioning it."
Xavier took a sip of the wine and frowned slightly. It seemed that he was not very satisfied with Jacob's answer.
Jacob looked at him timidly. "Well... in the future, since I have a wife. I will never play around outside."
It implied that he would never find another woman.
Although he didn't sleep with Bridget, he would fulfill the obligations as a husband.
Xavier looked at him for a few seconds, drank up the wine, put the glass on the table, and held his shoulder. He didn't say anything, but it was like a thousand words.
He got up and stopped when he reached the door. "I'll go back to the company tomorrow. You can take care of it."
He didn't want his sudden appearance at the company to cause a commotion, so he asked Jacob to tell everyone in advance.
"I understand," Jacob said.
He finished the glass of wine Xavier poured for him and got up to follow him out. Xavier got into the car. Today, he didn't plan to go anywhere but went home to accompany Arya.
Jacob stood at the door and watched Xavier get into the car.
Starting the car, Xavier didn't leave immediately. Instead, he rolled down the window and glanced at him coolly. "Go to the Old Residence at night."
Jacob said, "Got it."
Watching Xavier leave, Jacob took out his phone and made a call to Bridget. He didn't know if Bridget had already known that Xavier was back, so he had to tell her.
"It's me."
"I know," replied Bridget who was enjoying her breakfast.
"Do you know..." Jacob was afraid that if he told her out of the blue, she would get excessively excited.
"Know what?" said Bridget. As Jacob hesitated, she was already anxious.
"I'll tell you when I get back. Wait for me at home tonight. I'll pick you up at the Old Residence after work."
"OK, I'll wait for you. Do you need anything? I'm at the mall. I'll buy it for you."
"No, thanks." In the past, he took care of himself. Suddenly, someone wanted to buy something for him, so he couldn't get used to it so soon.
"Okay, I'll hang up," said Bridget as she hung up the phone and sat down.
After dinner, she went around again and bought a lot of things.
When she got home, she began to clean up the house. It turned out that there was only water in the fridge. She put the fruits, snacks, some vegetables and meat into the fridge and placed them neatly.
