“Uh??”
Jacob was completely dumbfounded; he never expected it would be such a request.
He glanced at the chest of this big doctor and instinctively asked: “Is this half a day during the day or at night?”
“Mr. Jacob, you’ve gone bad!”
Chuks laughed as he patted Jacob on the shoulder. From the way he was acting today, it seemed that his good brother had completely emerged from the shadow of his divorce.
Due to the alcohol, Guan’s little face was already flushed, and hearing Jacob’s question made her blush even more.
“Mr. Jacob, my sister has never had a boyfriend! What kind of wolfish words are you saying!”
Lina, who had become familiar with Jacob, teased from the side.
Jacob shrugged innocently, “Guan said she wanted a boyfriend for half a day, I had to ask clearly!”
“Daytime, to be precise, just a few hours will do.”
Guan took over the conversation and explained, “When I was in school, my parents watched me like a hawk, not letting me date. Now they’re urging me to go on blind dates every day, it’s so annoying!”
“So you want to use me as a shield?” Jacob finally understood the intentions of this big doctor.
“Please help me, Mr. Jacob!”
“You look like a good person, have some pity on the child~!”
Guan clasped her hands together and bowed repeatedly, looking quite adorable.
Chuks and Lina were both speechless, so this is how you manipulate people!
But this kind of cute and pitiful act is something most men can’t resist.
“Alright then, just a few hours, but we can’t stay overnight!” Jacob joked.
“Mm-hmm, thank you, Mr. Jacob.”
Guan nodded repeatedly, her eyes curved with a smile.
Lina then joked, “Mr. Jacob, I think you’re speaking in reverse!”
“Lina, you have to believe in Mr. Jacob’s character!”
“We’ve been brothers for over thirty years, we’re all honest people!”
Chuks said with a serious face.
“You?”
“Honest person?”
Lina shot her boyfriend a roll of her eyes, as she was somewhat aware of Chuks’s rich romantic history.
“It’s normal to have a few relationships when you’re young!”
Chuks replied sheepishly, then patted Jacob’s shoulder, saying, “But I can vouch for Mr. Jacob’s character!”
“After the divorce, he’s been raising his child alone, diligent and honest.”
Chuks began to build up his good brother’s reputation, but just as he was passionately speaking, Jacob’s phone suddenly rang. It was a call from Mira.
Jacob hesitated for a moment but still pressed the answer button.
“Mr. Jocob, I’m looking at beds. There are a few pretty good ones. I’ll send you a video, you can see which one you like?”
Mira’s voice was very sweet, not intentionally affected, as if she was born with that charming quality.
Although she didn’t speak loudly, the other three instinctively fell silent when Jacob answered the call, allowing them to vaguely hear the voice coming from the phone.
Jacob didn’t expect Mira to start working so soon, but he naturally didn’t want to get involved. If he had to decide on a bed, it would be almost the same as doing it himself.
Since the father had designated her as the executor, he would leave it entirely to her! “You can decide for yourself, no need to ask me again.”
Jacob replied lightly.
“Oh, I understand.”
“Then I won’t disturb Mr. Jacob anymore.”
Mira quickly sensed that Mr. Jacob seemed to be in a situation where it wasn’t convenient to talk, so she decisively hung up the phone.
This thoughtful little sister had a high level of awareness.
Jacob put down his phone and then noticed that the three were all looking at him.
“Mr. Jacob, what’s going on?”
“I just praised you a moment ago!!”
Chuks was the first to ask.
“It’s nothing, just a friend.” Jacob calmly waved his hand.
“Ordinary friend?” Chuks pressed.
“Mm, helping me with something.”
Jacob didn’t want to show off in this situation, after all, it was his good brother’s girlfriend’s birthday, and he couldn’t steal his brother’s thunder.
As for his own success, he could discuss it privately with Chuks.
Seeing that Jacob didn’t seem to be lying, Chuks didn’t continue the topic.
The meal was very enjoyable, mainly because Lina and Guan both had outgoing personalities and wouldn’t let the atmosphere go cold.
As the four were preparing to leave, Guan’s phone suddenly rang, and someone sent her a video call invitation.
However, Guan frowned, looking conflicted.
“Auntie?”
Lina leaned over to take a look: “Answer it, or it’ll ring to me later.”
Guan nodded and reluctantly answered the video call.
“Guan, it should be over by now.”
“Are you satisfied this time?”
On the other side of the video was a poised middle-aged woman, who bore some resemblance to Guan.
“Very satisfied.”
“Shall I take you home to meet her?” Guan pouted, somewhat sulking.
“Sure!”
“Just in time, your dad is resting today.” To Guan’s surprise, Ms. Daniela readily agreed.
With that, Guan didn’t know how to respond.
Although she had planned to use Jacob as a shield, that was for later; she hadn’t expected it to come up so soon.
