After a moment of silence, Abigail held Lina’s hands with sincerity and spoke each word deliberately. “Please love
each other… Please be happy forever!”
Lina was taken aback. She felt a strange atmosphere surrounding them.
But that was what good friends wished for each other.
She looked down and smiled, nodding earnestly. “Thank you.”
Abigail seemed relieved, her smile becoming more relaxed.
“Enough about me!” Lina’s playful doe eyes sparkled. “What about you? You’re really amazing, so I’m sure there
are many men who are interested in you. Is there anyone you like?”
“I…” Abigail paused before speaking honestly. “I do have someone I like.”
Lina’s eyes lit up.
But then she heard Abigail continue. “But he doesn’t know, and I haven’t told him.”

“Because… I’m afraid of rejection.”
The waves overshadowed Abigail’s soft voice.
A subtle veil of sadness covered her beautiful face.

Meanwhile, Zuko met Jacob at a bar.
It was a small, quiet place. A singer passionately belted out the blues on stage while the customers below enjoyed
their drinks, trying to keep their voices low even when chatting.
Zuko and Jacob raised their glasses in a toast. The intense taste of tequila lingered in their mouths.
At that moment, Jacob’s phone rang. He looked annoyed when he saw Gia’s name on the screen.
He hung up, she called again, and he hung up again.
She sent a message, a voice recording. He listened to it, and the woman on the recording used an extremely
flirtatious voice, calling him “hubby.” She asked, “What are you doing? Why aren’t you picking up?”
Zuko almost spat out the tequila he had just swallowed and glared at Jacob. “Don’t you dare play her voice
recordings out loud again!”
Jacob smiled. “You asked me to get close to her to investigate her!”
“I asked you to investigate, not to be repulsive!” Zuko retorted.
“How else am I supposed to get information from her if I don’t do that?” Jacob added ice to his drink.
Gia kept sending him messages, but he didn’t even look at them. He only picked up his phone when she stopped.
However, he suddenly paused when his thumb scrolled through the contact list.
Zuko looked at him, then at his phone. He noticed that Jacob was staring at the number saved as “Joy” on his
phone.
“Haha, who is it?” Zuko playfully asked. “The love of your life?”
Jacob was taken aback. His response was honest. “Can’t anyone else have feelings for someone?”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“Really? I got it right?” Zuko was quite surprised.
The Jacob he knew had always been oblivious. He thought Jacob would become a monk one day after quitting his
job as a lawyer.
Never did he imagine that Jacob had fallen for someone.
“W-Who is she?” Zuko couldn’t help but gossip.
Jacob glanced at him and put his phone away, leaving him guessing. “She’s… Joy!”
“Can you be serious?”
“Joy represents happiness.” Jacob smiled. “So she is my happiness.”
The more Zuko listened, the more perplexed he became. He went straight to the point. “So, does your happiness
know that you like her?”
Jacob’s expression changed. He finished his drink.
“She doesn’t know, and I haven’t told her.”
“Why not?”
“Because…” Jacob said sadly, “I’m afraid of rejection.”
