The Pampering CEO: Don't Mess With My Secretly-Married Sweet Wife novel Chapter 486

Anna looked at him. “I'll only accept what you tell me to my face."

Jacob's heart quivered.

Taking a deep breath, Anna then added, "I want you to tell me that you have never loved me before. I want you to tell me that all my efforts were futile. Jacob, if you can say that to my face, from now on, I'll stop bothering you."

Jacob closed his eyes to hide all his emotions.

"Say it!" Anna shouted, her voice trembling with emotion.

Blanchett tightened her grip on Jacob's arm, as a hint of nervousness flashed across her eyes.

"Jacob, you can't say it because I'm somewhere in your heart, right?" Anna looked straight into Jacob's eyes.

In any case, she had to get an answer today.

There was silence, and then Jacob let out a soft sigh. After a long while, he said, "The reason I texted you is that I didn't want to make you look too bad. However, since you insist that I say it in your face, I have no choice but to grant your wish."

After saying that, Jacob opened his eyes and looked at Anna, his gaze firm and direct. "Anna Wright, I've never liked you. I've never liked you in the past, I don't like you now, and I'll never like you in the future."

'He said it...’

A hint of despair crept into Anna's eyes. "I don't believe it, Jacob!” "Well, it's up to you whether you want to believe it or not, but the truth is that I've never liked you. Don't you realize it? Out of the two of us, you're the one who kept pestering me. I’ve never made a move before. You're not my type. Unless red rain falls from the sky, I'll never fall in love with you," Jacob replied flatly.

'Unless red rain falls from the sky...' Jacob had made it very clear that he had never loved Anna before.

"Do you have to be so cruel? You really don't want to give me even the slightest hope?" Anna said, her voice hoarse as a raven's.

"Since I don't love you, if I still gave you hope, don’t you think that would be even crueler?" Jacob said in a calm voice.

Anna tightened her hands as darkness began to flood her heart.

What Jacob had said was true. If he had not told her outright that he did not like her at all, the pain she would have felt in the future might have been 100 times worse than the pain she felt right now.

Even though she knew Jacob was right, she still could not help but sink deeper and deeper into a quagmire of sadness and despair.

"Alright, I'm done. If you've understood what I mean, then I hope you will stop bothering me now." Jacob's eyes were cold.

'Bothering...'

"So you are saying that everything that I've done so far was nothing but a nuisance to you?" Anna's voice was raw.

"Exactly," Jacob replied matter-of-factly.

"Okay. I get it now." Anna stumbled to her feet.

Even though Jacob wanted to hold her, he gritted his teeth and forced the urge down.

However, these changes did not escape Blanchett's eyes. She held his arm even tighter as a strange light flashed past her eyes.

“You guys have fun. I have to go now." Anna turned around and walked away as if her spirit had left her body.

The road was thronged with vehicles, and she nearly got hit by a car when she wandered off the road absentmindedly.

Jacob’s heart somersaulted, and he was so shocked that he nearly shook Blanchett off and rushed forward. Fortunately, Seth had been watching Anna because her condition worried him. He went up to her with a few quick steps and dragged her back to safety.

It was only then that Jacob commanded himself to stay frozen on the spot.

"For God's sake, could you do me a favor and please watch the road? Fine, fine, fine. Let me take you home,” Seth said as he called his driver.
