Chapter 159: Chapter 159

"Hm." She knew well that he likely said those words when they were having a cold war because of Charles Sharp.

Jacob Green brushed his face against the top of her head, "Some words are just empty talk, some words you know even if unspoken."

"Which words do I know even when unspoken, unclear, please explain clearly."

Lucy Eaton was momentarily speechless, her hand resting on his waist, and replied after a while, "Got it."

Jacob Green closed his eyes, "Slept throughout the day, can you still sleep now?"

"Have to sleep even if I can’t, need to adjust back, right." She added, "Not to mention you’re lying beside me, I can sleep even better."

If the mind is free of clutter, then it is enough to calm the soul, and having a good sleep state isn’t difficult.

Lucy Eaton was exactly .

Sleeping comfortably throughout the night, also because she napped during the day, she woke particularly early after falling asleep at night.

She woke at five and had no more sense of sleepiness.

Lucy Eaton simply got up and ran in the vast estate.

The morning air carried a chilly humidity, refreshing her heart.

Jacob Green woke up not seeing her figure, asked downstairs and found out she was running.

He leaned against the living room door, gazing longingly at the agile figure not far away.

She ran very fast, looking light and effortless, vibrant and full of energy.

Her every move was enough to keep his gaze firmly fixed.

After breakfast, Lucy Eaton went to the Joy for You Store, checked accounts for two hours, and only after confirming no errors did she have time to chat with Robert Langley’s wife.

"Sis, is your health really okay?"

"Yes, thanks to your help, if it weren’t for you, it wouldn’t have gone so smoothly."

"You’re welcome, Robert and I are friends, you are naturally also my friend as his wife, helping friends is a given."

Mrs. Langley smiled gently, "My husband having a friend like you is truly fortunate."

"Robert is a good man, he truly has the demeanor a man should have towards you and your family, you are the truly fortunate one." Follow current novels on novel⸺fire.net

Mrs. Langley nodded in agreement, "They say couples are birds of the same forest, and when disaster strikes, they fly separately, but I haven’t seen that in him. Truly as you said, I am indeed blessed, so I cherish it greatly."

"Exactly, having a confidant is enough."

"I’ll go upstairs to busy myself."

James Foster smilingly placed the coffee he held in front of Lucy Eaton, "Miss, your coffee is here."

"Thanks, little James."

"A loving nickname granted to you."

"Sounds awful, I don’t want it," James Foster protested, "I suggest you call me big brother James, that I like."

"Save it for your future wife," Lucy Eaton laughed while drinking coffee, "Have you met any new girls recently?"

"No mood to meet anyone."

"Looks like you’re quite hit by Chloe White."

James Foster was indifferent, "In this restless society, wanting to meet someone who truly likes me isn’t that easy."

"How about Mary Pond?"

James Foster turned to glance at the woman washing a customer’s hair, "After some contact, she’s nice, but not suitable for me."

"Why?" Lucy Eaton guessed, "Still remembering she deceived you?"

"I know she had her reasons, but thinking of it brings back the memories of that night and your ordeal. If it hadn’t been Jacob Green you met, or if you hadn’t reached where you are with Jacob Green today, how much loss would you have suffered?"

"Though it began because Mary Pond took your clothes and wallet, I can’t entirely blame her for what happened with Jacob Green that night. She’s one-third of the reason, the remaining two-thirds are partly because you didn’t tell me your room number, and also my own carelessness. It’s all in the past, don’t dwell on it," Lucy Eaton reached out and patted his shoulder, "Hmm?"

James Foster looked at her, then withdrew his gaze to look at his phone, "Anyway, I won’t have anything beyond a colleague relationship with her."

"If you won’t, then you won’t," Lucy Eaton chuckled, "No one’s forcing you."

James Foster put his phone in his pocket, just as he turned around his gaze fixed on the woman coming through the door, "Why is she here?"

Lucy Eaton looked up to see Sophie Bennett with an elegant figure approaching the bar with her sunglasses on.

Lucy Eaton didn’t know what she wanted and walked out from behind the bar, "Follow me."

In a private room, Sophie Bennett took off her sunglasses, her gaze cold and sharp, "This store’s location is truly prime real estate."

Lucy Eaton didn’t follow her lead but went straight to the point, "What brings you here?"

"I had someone watching the entrance of your store for days just to see you come in, seems you don’t care much for this store."

Seeing her answer evasively, Lucy Eaton leaned back on the sofa, legs crossed on the coffee table, "What’s it to you?"

"After all, it’s bought with my husband’s money."

"Was it that fool Ivy Fern who told you?" Lucy Eaton sneered, "Besides her, no one else would shamelessly think that, looks like you and Charles’s ex are getting along quite well."

"Of course not," Lucy Eaton told her plainly, "I have a husband, do you think my husband would allow another man to buy me an expensive store front?"

"Not necessarily, what if your husband is a useless man living off a woman? People often cave to money and have no backbone, letting their wife accompany other men for money isn’t impossible."

Lucy Eaton’s gaze sharpened, "Who are you to speculate about my husband? Do you know what you are yourself? Just a tool handed out by the Presidential Mansion to entertain the wealthy, thinking you’re something special?"

Sophie Bennett’s face froze, "What did you say?"

"What I said you heard, didn’t you?" Lucy Eaton sneered, "Truly pathetic, doing nothing every day except endlessly doubting your husband’s faithful relationships, isn’t it exhausting to live like that?"

Sophie Bennett stood up furiously, "Don’t think being a doctor and owning a store makes you remarkable."

"I never said I’m remarkable. I’m busy, unlike you, the idle rich lady with grievances, I’d rather do something else rather than waste time arguing, take care, not seeing you out."

Lucy Eaton stopped talking to her and exited first.

Sophie Bennett had planned to teach her a lesson but unexpectedly ended up being lectured, feeling infuriated, surveying her left and right, up and down, couldn’t see anything special about Lucy Eaton.
