Chapter 83 He Wanted To Confess To You
Seth only managed to get a moment of rest before his phone started ringing.
He took a glance at the name displayed on the screen and immediately got up to answer the call.
"Did you find the IP address?" It was Julian.
Seth scratched his head, "Sorry, Jacob is too clever. I couldn't track him."
Julian was silent for a while.
"Okay," he finally muttered.
Seth couldn't help but notice the weariness in Julian's voice. "Hold on," Seth added.
"What's wrong?" Julian asked.
Seth felt a little guilty. He coughed, "I was just thinking... Since Susan has already contacted you, I don't think Jacob and she will be in trouble. Besides, it's Madam Shaw who chased Susan out. Knowing Madam Shaw, even if you manage to find Susan, Madam Shaw won't let her have a good time either. I think, if you want Susan to return, it's better to communicate with your mom first.” 1
Seth found his logic very convincing, so he waited confidently for Julian's response.
There was another moment of silence from Julian. NôvelDrama.Org holds © this.
After what felt like a century, Julian asked, "So, how did you know that it was my mom who chased Susie out?"
Shit! i
Seth covered his mouth in shock. He was screwed — h e had just exposed himself!
It was not intentional!
But would Jacob and Susan believe him?
Seth held on to his last strand of hope and asked carefully, "If, if I say I guessed it, will you believe me?"
"Where are you." Julian's voice was menacing.
"I... I am not in Ningcheng City! I am out on a trip." Seth answered quickly.
"Good," Julian snickered, "I am going to your house right now." 1
"No, seriously, don't come. I'm really not at home! Even if you come, no one will answer the door for you!" Seth babbled. "Julian, this matter, I think..."
Julian ended the call.
Seth blanked out, and the robotic beeping of the phone echoed around the room.
Seth fell into despair.
"AHHHHHHH!"
He cried in agony and slapped himself repeatedly across the cheek. "Speak more, speak more! Have you got nothing else to do?!" i
And yet, it was too late to regret.
Julian was already on his way, and based on his driving speed, he would probably arrive in less than 2 0 minutes.
Seth stood up and paced around the room.
What should he do? What could he do?
Should he just kneel before Jacob and Susan and beg for forgiveness?
Or help them escape?
However, it was a bit too late to run away now...
Besides, Julian sent so many people to search the town, so it would be extremely difficult to hide from him.
Unfortunately, if they did not run away now, Julian would arrive anytime now.
Seth felt like his life was miserable.
What if Jacob thought that he broke his promise and stopped working with him?
'God, I really did not do this on purpose.'
'Why the heck is Julian so sharp?’
After much battling with himself, Seth finally mustered the courage to walk out of his room.
Jacob and Susan were still sorting out their luggage in the living room.
Susan heard him and smiled, "Oh, you're done? I found some milk in the fridge and warmed it up. It's on the stove. You should have some later, it will help you sleep better.”
Seth was on the verge of crying. He walked to Susan and kneeled before her, "Susan, you’re too nice. I-I am s o sorry for what I’ve done.”
"Huh?" Susan was confused.
“Susan, look,” Seth grabbed Susan’s arm. "I really didn't do this on purpose. Can you please, please, please forgive me? I-I won't get up until you forgive me
H
Seth knew that the key to resolving anything with Jacob was to start with Susan. If Susan forgave him, Jacob would too, right...?
Regardless, he was set on begging for forgiveness shamelessly.
"Huh... What happened?” Susan had no idea what Seth was talking about.
"I-I, listen, I..." Seth was just about to spill the truth.
Jacob looked at him long and hard, "Susie, he might want to confess to you.”
"Huh?"
Both Seth and Susan looked at him in shock.
Jacob nodded, as though to confirm what he just said. "I've seen it on TV before. When men want to propose, they kneel on one knee the way Seth is kneeling. Seth will probably take out a ring soon."
Then, Jacob turned to look at Seth for confirmation, his eyes twinkling proudly, "I'm right, right?"
Seth was in a mess, "No, no..."
Oh God, Susan was Julian’s wife. Never in his life would Seth ever even think of the possibility of proposing to her.
"Don't be shy, voice your feelings bravely." Jacob said seriously, "Susie is an amazing person. There’s nothing wrong with having feelings for such a good woman."
"Susan is quite good," Seth agreed subconsciously.
"See, Susie. He likes you." Jacob looked at Susan proudly.
Susan was a bit embarrassed, "Quit lying, Jacob."
"Yeah, yeah. This is not something to joke about." Seth quickly added.
Jacob's expressions grew even more serious. "Seth, don't beat yourself up. If you like someone, you must say it bravely. Although you are a bit annoying and a bit too talkative, I still think you're slightly better than Julian." "No, it's not that I'm not confident. It's not what you think..." Seth was just about to explain.
Jacob interrupted him again, "Is it because you feel that Susie is too good for you? Well, you're kinda below my standard, but if you promise to treat Susie well, I won't stop you from pursuing her."
Seth was dumbfounded, "Susie, I mean, Susan is really good, but I-"
Jacob suddenly stood up and grabbed Susan's hands t o put it into Seth's, "I will temporarily hand Susie to you. Susie is not in a very good mood, so I hope you can cheer her up a little. At the very least, don't upset her the way Julian Shaw did."
Susan was amused, surprised that Jacob had noticed the change in her mood, but...
Even if she was upset, there was no need to cheer her up this way.
Susan was just about to speak when the door suddenly opened.
Everyone turned to look at the intruder.
Julian was there.
His expression changed from panic to suspicion.
What did he just see?
Seth was kneeling on one knee, and Jacob was giving Susan’s hand to Seth?
