The Pampering CEO: Don't Mess With My Secretly-Married Sweet Wife novel Chapter 273

The hard lines on Jacob's face softened a little since Anna's attitude was good.

"You don't have to worry too much. There will no problem anymore after Julian has done all the arrangements,” Jacob said.

"Okay,” Anna replied flatly. After all, she was at their mercy right now.

For the rest of the day, Jacob's eyes never once left Anna, and it felt like pins and needles on her scalp.

When she finally could not hold it anymore, she asked, "Mr. Shelby, it's pretty late now. Aren't you going to sleep yet?”

Jacob raised his brows and replied, "No need."

However, no sooner had he just replied to Anna than h e yawned.

"Let's sleep, Mr. Shelby," Anna hastily said.

Jacob narrowed his eyes to study Anna for a second. Then, he gestured at her and instructed, "Come closer.”

"Okay.” Anna obediently walked up to him.

"Give me your hand."

Anna complied with his order.

Jacob grabbed her hand, and Anna jumped up in shock. She screamed, "What are you doing, Mr.

Shelby? I'm hired to be your caretaker, I won't do anything else other than that."

Jacob rolled his eyes and replied, "Stop being delusional. I'm not interested in a flat-chested woman."

'Flat-chested?'

Anna looked down at her chest and pouted her mouth.

'Alright, I know they seem a little small, but I'm adorable and I'm quite appealing as well.'

However, when she gave it a second thought, she realized she did not have to be charming to Jacob. After all, he was cold and distant, almost robotic. There was no way she would fall for a guy like him.

"I'll sleep now, and I want you to stay put right here," Jacob said flatly. Then, holding Anna’s hand, he turned around and slept.

Anna:"..."

It dawned upon her that Jacob was using the so-called new form of supervision on her.

However...

He could go to sleep now, but how about her?

Anna tried to withdraw her hand, and Jacob immediately cracked his eyes open.

He looked at her and then said coldly, “Don’t move."

"Alright, alright. I won't move now," Anna said, offering him a bitter grin.

Jacob closed his eyes once more.

This time, Anna did not dare to make any movement anymore. She stood motionless as if she was frozen stiff. After a long while, numbness began to set in in her legs and she cautiously sat down beside the bed.

Then, she took a peek at Jacob.

Jacob was deep asleep and he was not aware of her action.

The moonlight shone into the ward.

Supporting her face with her hand, Anna ran her eyes over Jacob's face.

Even though he was mean and unfriendly, one good thing about him was that he was extremely goodlooking. His pale face looked as if it was glowing under the accentuation of the moonlight. Anna had no idea why, but she suddenly felt pity for him.

She was startled by the feeling, and she patted her face.

'What am I thinking? He doesn’t need my pity.'
