Your Love Is My Weapon novel Chapter 55

Words were on Jacob's lips but Jacob didn't know how to say them.

'Would it be deliberate to say it like this?'

'Would she think that Mr. Jones asked me to say it?'

After thinking it over, Jacob did not say.

'She shall slowly realize it.'

Jacob smiled. "You're smart. I really have something to do here."

He raised his chin and motioned Arya to look at the kitchen. "Nanny Joy is my aunt. I am afraid she won't be used to it as she just comes here, so I come to take a look."

Xavier asked him to find a reliable servant. He didn't dare to use strangers, so he asked his own aunt to come over.

Nanny Joy was his aunt who had no children. She got married once when she was young. That man had an affair. She got divorced and never got married again.

She didn't believe in marriage, nor did she believe in men.

Since she was older, she was even less willing to look for a man.

She had been a servant for a long time, and Jacob had tried to persuade her not to do this many times. With Jacob's income, it was completely possible for him to support her.

But she didn't want Jacob to do that. She wanted to earn a living on her own, so Jacob had to obey her.

This time, Jacob asked her to come over. One reason was that Arya's identity shall be kept a secret, and the other reason was that Xavier wanted a reliable servant to serve Arya.

"Then I'll go up first. You guys can talk."

Jacob only said that as he couldn't find an excuse temporarily. When he came, Nanny Joy didn't let him say that they knew each other.

Nanny Joy didn't want her employer to treat her differently because of Jacob.

She was here to get paid for her work, and she didn't want to owe anyone anything.

Also, she didn't want people to know about her relationship with Jacob.

Although Jacob was an assistant, he had a lot of power. Jacob also worked for Xavier. She didn't want anyone to know that Jacob's aunt worked as a servant.

She was afraid of bringing shame to Jacob.

So when Jacob came in, she didn't even take a look at him and just did her own thing.

Jacob didn't say anything more and simply greeted, "I'm leaving."

"Take your time, Jacob." Nanny Joy answered with a smile.

Jacob sighed slightly.

He knew his aunt's personality best. He knew that she was keeping a distance from him as she even spoke to him in a businesslike manner.

In the Harrison Family's house.

Marshal rarely came back. There were only Harriet, Estella, and Richard at the table.

Richard was naturally unhappy. "What is Marshal doing every day? He doesn't even come home once?"

"Calm down. He has his things to do, so don't worry about it." Estella pampered her son, so she pleaded for him.

"The company will be handed over to him soon. How can I rest assured if he is like this?" Richard couldn't help but raise his voice.

Richard was disappointed with Marshal. Marshal used to know to be filial and obedient to him.

But now, Marshal didn't take him seriously at all.

Estella saw that Richard was unhappy. She got up to give him a massage on his back. She persuaded, "Don't be angry. Be responsible for your own health. If you get angry, you have to suffer the consequences on your own. The children are grown up. They have their own world and their social hubs. Their thoughts and horizons are definitely different from the men's of our age."

Richard snorted coldly. "Don't think I don't know. Each of them has grown up and became independent, then they don't take me seriously anymore."

"What are you thinking? No matter what, you are always their father. Who dares not take you seriously?" Estella winked at his daughter. "Get your father a glass of water to calm his anger."

Harriet was still thinking about what Daisy said, and the more she thought about it, the more strange she felt Daisy's words were.

If Arya was really a relative of the Jones Family, why would she call Xavier instead of Mr. Jones?

And what Daisy said was obviously an explanation.

It was like a very poor lie that revealed the truth.

"Harriet, get your father a glass of water." Estella emphasized. "What are you thinking? You are so absorbed?"

"Mom, do it yourself." Harriet was upset. She got even more annoyed by Estella's words. She got up and went upstairs.

"Alas, you..."

"Is this your good daughter?" Richard slapped his chopsticks on the table in anger and stood up instantly.

How disrespectful she was to him!

Estella also became angry. "What's wrong with my daughter? If I didn't raise a good daughter, how could our family be what it is today?"

Estella became more and more agitated and she sneered. "Your ex-wife is better? She gave birth to a useless thing. Her daughter did nothing good to the Harrison Family and also went to jail..."

Richard's face turned red and his chest heaved rapidly in anger.

Pointing at Estella, Richard said, "Are you trying to make me die in anger?"

"I don't want to. If you die, I won't have a husband."
