The Sweet Rival (Mango Shen and Nathaniel Ye) novel Chapter 1956

Rita subconsciously leaned to one side and hid her body in the darkness. Her breathing was also a little hurried.

Jake didn't think too much about it. He directly opened the speaker button of his mobile phone, and a strange voice came from the other side.

"Mr. Fang, Klaus is a little hard to deal with. We can't break through his blockade. What do you think we should do?"

Jake's eyes slightly narrowed.

"Klaus is a powerful character. The arms trade at the border is his business. It's impossible for us to bypass. Moreover, I heard that Amor of the Laurent family wants him to come back and be the spokesperson of the Laurent family. Don't offend this person and think of a way to take him down. It's said that he dotes on a woman named Anne?"

Jake's voice was not loud, but because the villa was too empty, the sound still spread.

Rita frowned slightly, but she just eavesdropped quietly.

Upon hearing Jake's words, the man on the other end quickly said, "Yes, Anne and Klaus had a daughter named Allegra, who was adopted by the adoptive parents not long ago. Because of this, can we still get along well with Klaus?”

"Idiot! It's them who have angered Klaus. At the very least, it can only involve the Maximilian. What does it have to do with us? Tomorrow, send Klaus a letter of respect to say that I want to invite Klaus and Miss Anne to dinner."

"Okay, Mr. Fang."

After hanging up the phone, Rita leaned against the wall, her eyes half-closed. No one knew what she was thinking.

Jake didn't know all of this. He threw the phone aside, quickly made a few home-cooked dishes, and then brought them up.

When he came up, Rita leaned against the floor-to-ceiling window and looked at the sky outside. No one knew what she was thinking. The loneliness and emptiness in her eyes made Jake feel uncomfortable.

"Stop looking at it. What's good outside? Come and eat something. Have a taste of my cooking skills, okay?"

Jake's smile was gentle. His shining eyes had once caused Rita's heart to thump, but now, she realized that there was only calmness left.

Her eyes were so complicated that Jake couldn't figure out what she was thinking now. He could only smile and say, "What's wrong? Did you find that I'm handsome again?"

"I found that I have no feelings for you anymore."

Rita's voice was not loud, but it made Jake's smile suddenly stiff.

"Rita, this joke is not funny at all."

"If you have to comfort yourself like this, then I have nothing to say."

Rita ended the topic directly.

It shouldn't be like this!

Jake felt that Rita had changed too much.

In the past, she always liked to follow him and ask questions. It seemed that she had endless words to say. Her vigorous look could affect everyone around her. But now, Rita was like an old woman, waiting for death day after day. She no longer had any brilliance and positive spirit, which inexplicably made people feel depressed and uncomfortable.

“Rita..."

"I don't want to eat. I want to rest."
