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

Chapter 303 Am I Being Too Selfish?

'Dang it! Jacob seems like someone who is calm and quiet on the inside but volatile and sexy on the inside. He appeared to dislike me on the surface, but in reality, he yearned for my body for a very long time already.’

He got closer and closer to her.

Anna Wright’s entire body tensed up from anxiety.

She watched helplessly as Jacob was about to make his way to her so she said subconsciously, "This is happening a little too soon, right? I feel that we should wait one more week. Your body is still very weak now."

Jacob Shelby stopped walking and narrowed his eyes t o look at Anna. “My body is still very weak? I suppose I'm not weak to this extent, huh. For a trifle like this, I can still do it."

He was very eager just as expected...

Anna’s face blushed even more. "I think it's better for you to take it slow."

'Don't let your sexual desire hurt your body, young man!’

Jacob frowned, then he stuffed the shirt into Anna's hand right away. "If that's the case, why don’t you help me then?" "Help... Help you?" Anna held the shirt and her entire person flushed as red as a cooked shrimp. "I, I don't have any experience in this."

"It's fine. You'll get used to it after a while, I won't complain," said Jacob in all apparent seriousness.

At this very moment, Anna was so shy that she wanted to hide under the ground. "I... I still feel that this is happening a little too soon. Moreover, you have yet to confess your feelings to me. Our status is not official yet, so how is this okay?"

Jacob was stunned for a moment, then he looked at Anna, feeling baffled. "You're only helping me to wash my shirt and you need a status for that? Forget about i t then, I shall wash it myself." 1

Jacob took back the shirt and walked past Anna to head to the washroom right away.

Anna was dumbstruck with bewilderment as she looked at her empty hands.

Huh?

Wash his shirt?

She turned around and looked at Jacob incredulously. "You removed your shirt because you wanted to wash i t?"

"What else?" Jacob shot a side glance at her.

He tossed the shirt into the wash basin, then took out a new shirt and put it on calmly.

Oh oh oh oh!

Anna felt sick.

Jacob had only wanted to wash his shirt yet she made up such a huge show in her imagination. Anna was only glad that Jacob did not know what was on her mind, fortunately. Otherwise, she would be embarrassed to death.

"Leave it be. I shall help you wash it." Anna helped Jacob start hand washing the shirt in dejection.

"Do you know how to do it?" Jacob was doubtful.

"Is there anything that I don't know how to do?! Don't look down on me. The people from our Wright family have always taken care of our own business. Also, I have a Pawpaw Clark at home who is ill

and I'm the one who takes care of him. Not that I'm praising myself, but the caretakers out there aren't as meticulous as I am."

"Pawpaw? I thought your grandfather passed away during the unrest?" Jacob passed her a soap bar.

Anna began rubbing soap all over the shirt skillfully then she said, "I'm not talking about my biological grandfather. Pawpaw Clark is a sworn brother of my grandfather. It is also due to his help that my father and mother managed to stay alive during the unrest. Pawpaw Clark didn’t have any children so my parents invited him to stay with us afterward. My brother and I referred to him as Pawpaw Clark. Pawpaw Clark is n o different than a real grandfather to us." "Ah," answered Jacob. "Family love that is not tied by

blood relationship? That's rather rare."

Anna shifted her gaze and she could not help speaking with a soft voice, "That's right. Frankly, the presence of a blood relationship doesn't play a huge role in the depth of our affection. Take Pawpaw Clark for example. Our relationship had been building slowly from spending time with each other for a few decades. He was not our real grandfather, but it didn't stop us from getting along like family. So in truth, you and Susie are also..."

"It's done, you can start agitating the fabric now," Jacob interrupted her sentence.

"Ah sure," answered Anna, then she began agitating the sleeves in all seriousness.

She could not help blinking her eyes innocently after she was done washing the shirt. What did she want to say earlier?

Bad Jacob. The only thing he knew was to interrupt her train of thought.

Anna peeked at Jacob once. He was already done wringing out the top and had placed it in the dryer.

"Cough cough." Anna let out two coughs.

"Itchy throat huh?" asked Jacob.

"Hey hey hey, stop changing the topic of conversation." Anna looked at Jacob with a serious expression. "Jacob, you said before that you owe me a favor!"

"Yes." Jacob could not deny that.

"Then I demand you to return the favor now.” Anna’s expression remained serious.

Jacob glanced at her then said straightforwardly," Other than making Susie take the DNA test with you, I can agree to do anything for you."

The words that Anna wanted to say were stuck in her throat. She could not help stamping her foot in rage." You've failed to keep your promise."

Jacob pursed his lips and did not speak anymore.

"Jacob, I understand that you have a close relationship with Susie and you don't want to lose your younger sister." Anna softened her tone to speak, "Yet, you can't be too selfish. If Susie is the daughter of our Wright family, she is the heiress of a powerful family. Her status and identity will be worlds apart from her current status. Just take the most basic example - how does Madam Shaw still have the courage to make things difficult for Susie when the Wright family’s reputation is at stake?"

"Whatever the Wright family can provide, I can provide too. I won’t let Susie go through injustice," said Jacob in a rather stubborn manner.

"Alright then, alright then. I know you're good, and even if you can do it, what’s wrong with having more people love Susie? Moreover, the relationship between you and Susie was built over surviving with each other through the years and it can't be broken by just blood ties. Even if she is not your real sister, I believe that it won't change Susie's love for you at all," said Anna.

"It's late, you should go to sleep in the room,” said Jacob straightforwardly.

"I’m not tired yet," said Anna.

"I am." Jacob tugged Anna's collar, opened the door, and shoved her out of the room.

"Hey..." Anna turned around. A bang was heard and Jacob had already closed the door.

Anna pouted gloomily at Jacob shutting the door on her.

'Bad Jacob, why do you have to be so stubborn!

'Hmph, I won’t give up anyhow.

'I'm going to let you off for today and I'll be back tomorrow.'

In the quiet room, Jacob stood quietly facing the window for a long time. NôvelDrama.Org owns this.

The stars were flickering in the night sky. It was a scenic view.

However, Jacob was not in the mood to enjoy the view.

"I think it's possible that Susie is my long lost younger sister." 1

"Jacob, you can't be too selfish."

"It's only a DNA test!"

"If Susie is the daughter of our Wright family, Madam Shaw won't have the courage to make things difficult for her anymore."

Countless voice fragments echoed through Jacob's mind incessantly.

His hands had already clenched into tight fists without his notice.

'Susie, am I being too selfish... If the Wright family is your real family and if I were to stand in the way of your mutual acceptance, will you blame me?'

Countless thoughts flashed past his mind with the final scene that stopped at Susan Shelby's gentle gaze.

Jacob pursed his lips. He was well aware that Susan would not blame him just like how he would never blame Susan regardless.

Yet, the more Susan cared about his feelings, the more he felt this ineffable feeling in his heart.

All sorts of emotions intertwined before they finally fused into Jacob's complicated gaze.

He stood in front of the window for the whole, long night akin to a statue.
