The Pampering CEO: Don't Mess With My Secretly-Married Sweet Wife

Chapter 267 An Accident

Listening to the sloshing sound, Anna could not help blushing.

She spoke with confidence, but it was her first time listening to a grown man answer nature’s call. She did not even know what she should do if Jacob did want her help just now.

She kept her eyes away, trying hard to soothe her nerves. Suddenly, a cockroach inched out idly from the sink. 1

Anna's eyes bulged immediately.

Jesus Christ, she was terrified of roaches!

'Damn you, cockroach. Stay there, don't move. Don’t come over, don't you dare!'

Despite Anna's prayer, the cockroach made its way over leisurely.

Anna’s eyes widened impossibly and amidst her fearful gaze, the cockroach did a little split at the edge of the sink and plopped down to her shoes.

"AH!" The fear that came from within her soul made Anna shriek on the spot. All her mind could think of was to flee.

Her hands loosened their hold and Jacob who was halfway through his urination was thrown off guard.

"What are you doing?” he growled and pulled up his underwear reflexively. However, his body that had just gone through surgery was too weak to handle the motion and he staggered while standing.

"Mr. Shelby! Sorry, sorry!" Anna quickly supported Jacob.

Unaware of the crisis, the cockroach crawled up her pants.

It served to distress Anna even more as she shook her leg subconsciously to prompt the roach down. It continued to clutch her pants, however, and the slippery toilet floor made the girl slip.

To her horror, she was still holding onto Jacob.

"You..." Jacob frowned from the tug, but he was already hauled down by Anna before he could say anything.

Uh oh!

Anna was shocked and twisted her body during the last minute to come under Jacob.

"Ah!" Falling on the floor in addition to a grown man's weight on top of her, Anna cried out in pain.

Jacob was speechless, wanting to stand up, but he could not even find strength in his legs.

Anna wanted to get up as well, but with a person above her, she dared not push him away either.

"Mr. Shelby, try to maneuver yourself slowly to lie on the floor. I'll get up first and help you up. is that fine with you?" Anna said after a few deep breaths. Her face was flushed like a ripe tomato.

What a tragedy. She had pulled Jacob along in her fall and his... his pants zipper was not even pulled up. 1

"Okay." Jacob looked at her speechlessly but nodded i n compliance anyway.

With Anna’s help, he slowly leaned toward the side, but halfway through the motion, Anna cried out again.

"What is it this time?" Jacob glared at her.

With a cough, Anna's face grew redder. "Mr. Shelby, I think my sweater got caught on your pants zipper..."

"... Then get it out quick."

"Yes, yes. I'll do that now." Anna lowered her head nervously and tried to unravel her sweater from the zipper.

"Faster," Jacob urged impatiently.

"Right now, coming up now,” Anna could only respond.

While Anna was busy with her sweater and Jacob's zipper, a crisp voice rang out.

"Jacob, Anna, I'm here to deliver your lunches."

The named ones widened their eyes.

"Susie, wait..." Jacob had just spoken and Susan was already at the door.

She was dumbstruck when she saw the scene in the

washroom.

What - what was going on?

Jacob was on Anna looking disheveled and his pants were unzipped while Anna's head was lowered like she was busy with something. Oh god! 1

Susan turned around instantly. "I didn't see anything, Jacob, really!"

"Miss Shelby, you - you’ve misunderstood..." Anna's face was flushed as she tried to explain the situation.

"It's fine. I really didn’t see anything. I’ll leave lunch here. You guys can - um, you guys can continue?" Susan said and was going to slip away. 1

"Stand right there." Jacob looked at her with gritted teeth. "Didn’t you see that we both fell? Come help me up!"

"Huh? A fall?" Susan was stunned before rushing in to help her brother up without a second of hesitation.

With Susan's help, Anna got her sweater out of the zipper shortly and both of them finally separated.

Half an hour later, Susan fed Jacob his lunch while she looked choked with laughter.

Jacob found it increasingly difficult to eat. 1

He gazed at Susan forlornly. "Do you want to just laugh it out?"

"No need, I don't feel like laughing at all. I’m serious,"

Susan said seriously.

Jacob just watched her in silence.

Holding herself back and failing, Susan put the lunch down and went aside to cackle to her heart's content.

Both Jacob and Anna were speechless.

"Mr. Shelby, I’ll feed you." Anna put down her lunch and went to the man.

"It's fine. Anna. I said that I'll feed him. Take your lunch." Susan came over, but once she saw the two of them, she turned away and began guffawing.

Jacob could not help rolling his eyes.

Awkward for the minute, Anna adjusted herself and fed him meticulously.

After what happened just now, Jacob felt a lingering fear toward Anna but comparing her to the guffawing Susan, he preferred the former.

The lunch ended with Susan's cackle as the background music.

Jacob looked at her in despair. "Still laughing?"

"I'm done." Susan reeled in her laughter, but when she met Jacob's eyes, her lips parted and stretched up involuntarily.

Jacob rolled his eyes again.

"How rare is it that I get to see something so sensational and I didn’t snap a photo! What a waste," Susan said while keeping her laughter in check.

Jacob could not stand her anymore. "Go back now since you’re done with lunch! The chauffeur's waiting outside. His patience must be wearing thin."

"Okay, okay, I’ll leave you two alone." Susan covered her mouth and turned to leave in a hurry.

Watching her retreating back, her shoulders were still shaking uncontrollably.

Once Susan left, the atmosphere turned awkward.

"Mr. Shelby, I'm so sorry..." Anna said guiltily. Content rights by NôvelDr//ama.Org.

Jacob looked at her with a huff. "Nothing to be sorry about. I’ll ask for a substitution after today anyway." 1

A substitution... Anna could not help paling.

She panicked and started. "Mr. Shelby, I know that I was at fault today. I guarantee that it won't happen again. Please, don't send me away."

"Again? If you see another cockroach again? Can you make sure you won't do it once more?" Jacob questioned coldly.

He had always been annoyed by people who only knew how to scream without doing anything.

"I... I guarantee," Anna said through gritted teeth.

"We'll talk about it when you've done it," Jacob sneered.

After what he had gone through with Jenny, he was uninterested in weak delicate women like this and

was even a little put-off.

He had obviously categorized Anna into the same group too.
