But instead of a luxury car, he was riding an electric scooter!
Well, what a low-key rich person!
Having worked in the fitness industry for a few years, Layla had encountered quite a few wealthy individuals, some of whom were very low-key.
The big brother probably lived nearby; riding an electric scooter was indeed much more convenient than driving.
Layla thought to herself.
“It might be a bit cold on the electric scooter; you should wear my jacket.”
Jacob took off his jacket. Layla’s denim jacket and fitness tank top were both short, leaving her slender waist exposed. The temperature outside was 12 degrees, and riding the electric scooter would be quite chilly.
“No need, I can hide behind you to block the wind.”
“And it’s only a five-minute ride to Starlight City.”
Layla smiled and pushed the jacket back to him. Jacob was wearing a plaid shirt under his jacket, which would definitely let the wind through while riding.
“Alright then.”
Jacob didn’t insist; after all, the distance was indeed short.
He put his jacket back on and took out a pink helmet prepared for his daughter, Macy, from under the seat of the scooter and handed it to Layla: “It’s my daughter’s; it might be a bit small.”
“It’s fine, it’s quite cute!”
Layla took the helmet and put it on her head.
But inside, her heart stirred a bit.
So this Jacob has a daughter, which means he has a family.
In fact, Layla hadn’t really thought about developing anything serious with Jacob; she just felt that this big brother was generous and upright, and it would be nice to make a friend.
However, she didn’t realize that the goodwill she had accumulated over time had subconsciously made her see him as a potential romantic interest.
So when he candidly mentioned having a daughter, she felt a slight disappointment in her heart.
She had fantasized about what her future partner would be like, but she had never imagined stepping into a role as a stepmother right away!
Moreover, this Jacob might even have a wife.
Phew~ I’m thinking too much.
It’s just making a friend!
Layla pulled her wandering thoughts back and swung her long legs over to sit on the back of the electric scooter.
“Hold on tight.”
Jacob reminded her, then twisted the throttle, and the electric scooter sped off towards Starlight City, cutting through the cold wind of late February.
However, sitting on the back, Layla underestimated the chill mixed in with the wind. Once the scooter started moving, she felt a chill in her lower abdomen and even her chest. She suddenly recalled some lewd nicknames often used by creepy guys in games: “The Wind Blows Grandma Cool.”
Oh no, it’s really cold!
Layla instinctively shifted her b**t forward and tightly hugged Jacob’s sturdy waist.
Once their bodies were pressed together, Layla immediately felt much warmer.
Don’t underestimate a chubby person; they really block the wind at critical moments! Jacob, weighing 191 pounds, stood in front of Layla like a towering mountain, shielding her from the cold wind ahead.
Soon, they arrived at the intersection in front of Starlight City, where the traffic was heavy. Jacob had to stop the electric scooter at the crosswalk and wait for the red light.
Meanwhile, the male drivers in the cars waiting at the red light couldn’t help but stare at the stunning beauty sitting on the back of the electric scooter.
Shouldn’t such a top-notch beauty be sitting in the passenger seat of a luxury car?? One man, who usually liked to film videos, even raised his phone to record a short clip, skillfully posting it on his social media with the trending song “Actually, It’s All Nothing” as the background music, captioning it: “I smoked a pack of cigarettes but still can’t figure out where I lost.”
Unbeknownst to Jacob and Layla, as they waited for the red light, the green light finally turned on. Jacob twisted the throttle and drove the electric scooter directly to the bike rack next to the side entrance of Starlight City.
“Are you frozen?”
After locking the scooter, Jacob looked at Layla with a hint of guilt. It was quite rare for such a beautiful woman to ride an electric scooter with him in the cold wind.
After all, a beauty of her caliber could easily sit in the passenger seat of a luxury car if she had any ulterior motives.
It was clear that this beautiful trainer had good character.
“I’m not cold; you’re blocking the wind for me!”
Layla smiled. In reality, the sides of her slender waist were already reddened by the cold wind, but she couldn’t just say that.
As Jacob bent down to put the helmet back in the storage space under the seat, he happened to catch a glimpse of Layla’s reddened waist from the cold wind, and he felt a pang of guilt.
