Chapter 26
Jacob approached Olivia after Tyler left, moving closer as if he wanted to touch
her cheek. She felt a surge of fear as he neared, but he took hold of her
shoulders. “Olivia!”
He held her tightly in his arms. She felt utterly drained.
Meanwhile, Tyler had driven some distance away. However, he glanced at the
rearview mirror when he stopped at a traffic light and saw them hugging
Jacob's sole concern was Olivia's well-being. “Come on, let's go to the dorm.”
He held her hand and led her forward, but she spoke up, “I'm hungry, Jacob.”
He was
as willing to give her anything she desired. He replied when he heard her, “Sure,
let's eat.”
When they took a seat at the restaurant they used to frequent, Jacob busied
himself with serving her, fetching utensils and napkins.
Olivia sat there, observing his actions. In the past, watching him had always
made her smile like a fool, but today, she couldn't muster that happiness.
When their food arrived, Jacob placed a slice of meat onto her plate. “Eat more
meat, Olivia. You need protein.”
She didn’t eat. He couldn't comprehend why she wasn't touching her food. “You
said you were hungry. Why aren't you eating?”
Instead, she stated firmly, “Stop looking for me, Jacob. We've broken up.
This time, she spoke with unwavering seriousness, no trace of hesitation. She
knew the slightest hesitation would give him hope, and she had no intention of
giving him any.
His hands holding the utensils paused, and he stared at her.
Olivia had no desire to stay, so she rose from her chair. As she stood, Jacob
reached out to grab her hand, his expression equally serious. “Can you tell me
the reason?”
“I've fallen in love with someone else,” she declared.
“Who is it? Will you tell me?”
“You don't need to know.” Olivia shook off his hand heartlessly. She wanted to
leave.
Jacob blocked her and said coldly, “I don’t believe you. You're not telling the
truth.”
Olivia pushed his hand away and looked straight at him. “You want the truth?
Fine, I'll give it to you. What's the point of your hard work? You'll always be at the
bottom, no matter how hard you try. What's the point of marrying you? To
compete with you? Stop dreaming. How much time do I have to fight with you?
Jacob, wake up.”
She had no idea how she managed to say all that.

Jacob took a step back, stunned to hear those words coming from her mouth. “Is
that your truth?”
“Yes.
