The Pampering CEO: Don't Mess With My Secretly-Married Sweet Wife novel Chapter 489

After a long while, Jacob Shelby loosened his hold on Anna Wright and looked at her with a smile in his eyes. "How was it? Is m y technique alright?"

"It's not bad," answered Anna subconsciously before she reacted to the situation. She could not help staring at Jacob in a furious yet shy manner. "It was a forced kiss."

"It was a seducing kiss at most. You were rather cooperative too." Jacob objected.

"You, you, you, you...” Anna looked at Jacob incredulously. That b*stard was behaving indecently now?

Where was his default ice-cold temperament? He had to stop messing with his temperament setting!

It felt as if Jacob was determined to destroy his temperament setting completely today. The smile that had not been on his face for a few days was constantly on his face now, as though it was free.

Even his ice-cold gaze had been replaced b y a gentle glint in the meantime.

Anna felt especially terrified as she looked at him.

She took a few steps back silently and looked at Jacob with an alarmed expression. “Don't look at me with that gaze. I'm begging you, go back to your normal self. I can't stand this!"

The corners of Jacob’s lips twitched once instantly.

He was planning to confront his deepest feelings, which was a rare occasion. Was there a need for Anna to be so alarmed?

Jacob took a deep breath and then said in a soft voice, "Anna, is it okay if I look at you with this gaze from now on?"

Anna was stunned for a long while before she stepped forward and stretched out her hand to feel Jacob's forehead silently. "Uh... You're not having a fever, right?"

Jacob grabbed her hand and looked at her." Anna, I like you. No, I love you."

The confession came so unexpectedly that Anna was dumbstruck with bewilderment.

After a long while, she managed to stutter," Jacob, stop joking around!”

Had this man not rejected her earlier?

Besides, he had done nothing when Blanchett had wrapped her arms around him!

As soon as she recalled the earlier scene, Anna felt wronged.

“I'm not joking." Jacob held on to Anna's hand and refused to let go. "I fell in love with you a long, long time ago. I just didn't have the courage to confront my innermost feelings all this time. As for Blanchett, I only wanted to use her so I could make you angry and drive you away."

"Why... Why did you have to do that? You're sick!” said Anna furiously.

It was fine if Jacob did not like her.

However, if Jacob liked her, why had he hidden from her constantly for the past four years? What was the point of her chasing after him painstakingly for four years?

Anna had called him sick out of rage, yet Jacob could not help chuckling bitterly. " Yes, I'm sick. Anna, you know that I have a latent heart disease. This disease is extremely rare, but the probability of it being hereditary is very high."

"Of course, I'm aware of that." Anna felt even more baffled. She was well aware of this issue, so why had Jacob suddenly brought this up?

"I don't want my children to suffer from the threat of this disease. That is why I most likely won't have any children of my own i n this lifetime."
