Even if a relationship between a man and a woman truly begins as a friendship, over ti it will slowly change, and developing feelings over ti is the most common occurrence.
Often, this kind of emotion is imperceptible before the feelings on both sides change.
An Feng’s words greatly comforted An Mingji, preventing him from overthinking.
"Child, keep it up! Auntie believes in you; you’ll definitely catch up to the girl you love."
This was the first ti An Mingji revealed the feelings he had kept in his heart, unable to hold back from speaking out.
Buried in his heart for so long, he couldn’t help wanting to find soone to share with, and it felt pretty good.
And Auntie was also his first supporter, giving him great confidence in pursuing Ajin.
He curved a gentle smile on his cool and sensual lips, nodding gratefully at An Feng.
"I will."
In the spacious VIP room, a female voice singing a soft Italian song ringed out.
Kasi imdiately took out her phone, and seeing the na displayed, she answered the call.
She responded amicably, "Hello, Mr. Jacob."
"No, Miss Kasi, I’m not good at all," a weary and feeble voice ca through the receiver into Kasi’s ear.
At the sa ti, this French conversation also entered the sharp ears of An Mingji.
Kasi spoke in a very business-like manner, "Mr. Jacob, what is the reason for your call?"
"Kasi, I want to know why Night Paradise was acquired by soone else. Mrs. Darwin had promised to help ; was she delayed by sothing?"
Hearing the reproachful inquiry on the phone, Kasi rolled her eyes. These guys always bullied her, each as fierce as lions in front of her, yet as gentle as cats in front of Mada.
She took the phone and walked beside An Feng, lowering her voice: "Mada, it’s Jacob’s call. He already knows Night Paradise was acquired by soone else."
An Feng reached out to the maid who imdiately handed over the phone with both hands.
"Jacob, my friend, how are you?" An Feng greeted in fluent French.
"Mrs. Darwin, I’m alright, just heartbroken."
Hearing her voice, the reproach in Jacob’s words disappeared, replaced by a touch of cautiousness.
An Feng glanced at the well-behaved young man sitting quietly on the sofa, and she squinted her eyes, smiling with pleasure, "Jacob, I’m very sorry; I couldn’t fulfill my promise to you."
"Why?" Jacob asked eagerly.
"Because on the way, I didn’t expect to encounter my grandson, and my granddaughter-in-law was very interested in Night Paradise. When the children like it so much, how could I, as a senior, bear to let them be disappointed?"
"..."
There was no response on the phone.
"Heavens! Heavens! Mrs. Darwin, you have a grandson?!"
After quite so ti, Jacob’s shocked voice ca through.
"Yes, he is my only family in this world," An Feng’s voice remained joyous.
As for An Mingji’s talk of Uncle An, in An Feng’s eyes, he was worse than a beast, unworthy of the term ’family’.
"Then I am very honored that they are interested in Night Paradise. Had I known earlier that they were interested, I certainly wouldn’t have auctioned it."
This was Jacob’s sincere sentint.
What he had cared about before was the bread right before his eyes, so evidently within reach, yet seeing guests from afar take what was his, that sense of frustration left him stifled.
