“Mr. Jacob, please have a seat.”
“I’ll go check the kitchen to see if I can help.”
Vivian said politely before heading into the kitchen.
Jacob shook his head with a wry smile. This girl had Macy call her sister, and now she called him brother.
The generational gap between father and daughter was thus leveled.
“Daddy, can I come to play with Auntie and Auntie Vivian tomorrow?”
Macy loved being with Lara, and Vivian’s quirky personality made it easy for her to get along with kids.
So Macy was very happy to be with the two of them.
“Of course you can.”
Jacob nodded. His childhood friend Chuks had long invited him to a gathering tomorrow, saying it was his girlfriend’s birthday. This girlfriend was the kind he intended to marry, so he wanted Jacob to meet her.
Leaving Macy with Lara and Vivian made Jacob feel at ease, and it was just right for him to catch up with Chuks.
Since the arrival of the “father figure,” he hadn’t seen his childhood friend, who was always wandering around in the flower fields.
After playing with Macy in the living room for a while, a sumptuous dinner was laid out on the dining table.
Lara, this former sister-in-law, may not be very old, but her cooking skills were genuinely impressive, and she was one of the few young people willing to put effort into cooking.
Most girls her age, like the foodie Vivian, didn’t know how to cook.
However, this lavish dinner wasn’t very friendly to Jacob, who was in a fat-reducing phase; he only ate a bit of leafy greens before leaving the table.
Losing weight was a long-term task with substantial rewards, and he had to stick to it!
With such a large base, he had only lost a pound yesterday, feeling quite ashamed.
Jacob thought he should lose more today, especially since he had expended so much energy with Vienna.
“By the way, Lara, your birthday is on Monday, right?”
“Have you thought about how to celebrate?”
Jacob had originally intended to buy a Prada handbag as a birthday gift, but he had already given it away as a work gift.
Now that his sister-in-law’s birthday was approaching, he naturally had to prepare another gift.
“I’ve invited my roommates to gather.”
Besides Vivian, Lara had a good relationship with her other four roommates, so she thought it would be nice to celebrate together.
“Mr. Jacob, you should come too.”
“It’s been agreed that family can come!”
Vivian swallowed a piece of rib and said with a smile.
However, her words were clearly teasing, as the term “family” wasn’t something to be used lightly.
If Jacob and Lara hadn’t divorced, using the term “family” would have been somewhat acceptable, but given the current situation, it was clearly inappropriate.
Unless she meant something else!
“Auntie, can I go too?”
Macy, who had been focused on eating meat, raised her little head and looked at Lara with anticipation.
“Of course you can!”
Lara smiled and nodded. It was her birthday gathering, so she had the final say.
Ding! Random task triggered: [Birthday Surprise]
Task content: Give Lara a birthday gift that surprises her.
Task reward: To be determined (Note: The higher the surprise value, the more generous the reward) The voice of the “father figure” echoed again.
Jacob was already used to it. After previous tasks, he had summarized a bit of a pattern: the chances of triggering tasks were higher when he was with Layla and Lara.
The task for the Benz was triggered when he was with Layla, and the task for Mimia Bay was triggered when he sent Lara to work.
A surprise birthday gift?
Jacob instinctively began to think. He knew his sister-in-law well; Lara’s values were completely opposite to those of her sister, Karen. Lara didn’t place much importance on money, so choosing a gift was somewhat challenging.
Fortunately, he still had a day to think it over.
That night.
Macy had already fallen asleep.
Jacob posted the latest day’s weight loss vlog on Instagram.
Little Mira followed Jacob’s instructions and inserted the “traffic password” into the video.
To boost Jacob’s video traffic, she willingly showcased herself.
Her figure was already good, and with some technological assistance, her appearance was even more stunning, with curves in all the right places.
Thus, shortly after the video was released, the comment section became lively:
“Brother, post more, love watching!”
“The aesthetic of the Mimia Bay owners is on point!”
“Brother, add me on V, I have a better figure than the women in the video!”
“Are you even going to the gym? I’m too embarrassed to call you out!”
“Brother, add me, I’m flirty!”
At this point, Jacob’s Instagram followers had reached 210,000. The video brought in some traffic on its own, so he didn’t need to spend money to buy traffic.
Of course, if the video performed well, he could invest some money in promotion, as a viral video could yield tens to hundreds of thousands in revenue, which was still very important for Jacob at this stage.
