Chapter 435 She Is On A Long Trip
“Yuliana, will I never see Mom again?”
His voice was very calm, as though he was simply stating the facts indifferently. However, Yuliana felt increasingly terrible when she heard his words.
“No, it won’t happen.” Yuliana reached out and embraced Jacob’s shoulder. “Jake, do you remember what you said to me when Dad passed away?”
Jacob recalled for a while and nodded.
Back then, he saw that Yuliana was extremely sad because of Damian’s death, so he wanted to comfort her.
He said that the death of a person was not the end for his soul. It was just the end of someone’s journey as a human being. Damian would exist in another life form, and those who were still alive would also transform into that life form one day. The universe was vast, and he was sure that they would meet Damian again one. day.
This was what Jacob saw in a book when he was studying abroad. Exclusive © content by N(ô)ve/l/Drama.Org.
When Damian passed away, it was still acceptable for him, although he was sad. After all, before Damian passed away, he had been alone with Sabrina for several years abroad. Therefore, he had already adapted to life without Damian.
It was different with Sabrina. Jacob had never left Sabrina’s side since he was born.
“Can I ever see you again? When we meet again, can Mom recognize me as her son?” Jacob wondered.
After parking his car, Christopher went into the barbecue joint with Yuliana and her brother.
Today was not a weekend, plus it was just an afternoon. Hence, there were only a few tables in the barbecue joint with some customers seated.
Jacob straightaway chose a seat by the window and sat down, followed by Yuliana and Christopher. The waiter brought the menu for them to order their meals themselves.
Yuliana pushed the menu in front of Jacob and said, “Jake, you should order. You must know which dish is delicious since you have come here before.”
Hearing what Yuliana said, the waiter stared at Jacob and sized him up and down before saying with a smile, “Didn’t you often come with your mother before?”
Jacob’s actions froze. He glanced at the waiter and nodded, humming gently in acknowledgment.
“No wonder you look so familiar.” The waiter smiled kindly. “Why didn’t your mother come with you today?” asked the waiter.
The reason why the waiter had a deep impression of the mother and son was that both of them exuded an extraordinary aura, and their appearances were outstanding. The waiter remembered them after several visits. Besides, their restaurant was long-established, so they would subconsciously pay attention to regular customers who had been visiting them for a long time.
When Yuliana heard the waiter’s words, she looked at Jacob nervously.
However, she didn’t expect Jacob would react so calmly.
“My mom is on a long trip.”
“I see. Well, it doesn’t matter. Just wait until your mother is back, and you can come together next time,” the waiter said.
Jacob smiled faintly and said, “Okay.”
After saying that, Jacob picked up the pencil beside him and looked down at the menu in front of him. However, he couldn’t control his grip on his fingers, and his vision became blurry little by little. He checked the menu, relying on his memory.
Soon, Jacob checked his orders and gave the menu to Yuliana. He said in a heavy nasal voice, “I ordered some already. Yuliana, you guys can take a look at what you would like to eat.”
Jacob kept his head down. Yuliana couldn’t see his expression, but she could tell his emotions just by his
voice.
Yuliana didn’t expose him and answered lightly, “Okay.”
She glanced at the dishes Jacob selected. Most of them were vegetarian.
However, Jacob didn’t like vegetarian meals.
Sabrina liked them.
Those dishes that Jacob ordered were all Sabrina’s favorites.
Yuliana’s nose was a little stuffy. She slowly breathed out and ordered a few more dishes. She then handed the menu to Christopher. Christopher glanced at it and didn’t order anything more. Instead, he handed the menu to the waiter directly.
“That’s enough.”
The waiter left with the menu.
Since there were only a few customers at noon, they were served very quickly.
Jacob was grilling the meat clumsily with a pair of grill tongs. Perhaps when he was here to enjoy the grilled meat before, he was simply busy eating while Sabrina was in charge of the grilling.
“Let me do it.”
Yuliana took the grill tongs from his hand.
Jacob stared at Yuliana blankly while she was grilling the meat.
It took them nearly two hours to finish the grilled meat. It was already past four o’clock when they got home. Jacob sat quietly on the sofa for a while. He looked at Yuliana, who had been accompanying him the whole time, and said, “Yuliana, I want to go back to my room and have a rest.”
Yuliana was also lost in her thoughts. She was momentarily stunned when she heard this.
“Go ahead.”
Jacob stood up and went upstairs to his room.
After having smoked a cigarette outside, Christopher came in. He saw Yuliana sitting on the sofa in the living room alone, staring unblinkingly in a certain direction.
He looked in that direction and found out that she was looking at Damian’s memorial plaque.
Yuliana was staring absent-mindedly. She didn’t even notice when Christopher came in. She only tilted her head reflexively and glanced until the sofa beside her was sunken in. However, her pupils were not very focused, as if her gaze just slid across his face.
Christopher frowned slightly and looked a little displeased.
Seeing that Yuliana was about to turn her face around, he reached out and held her chin.
“What are you thinking about?”
Yuliana finally regained her senses because of the slight pain in her jaw, and her gaze finally focused.
She furrowed her brows and pulled Christopher’s hand away, asking rhetorically, “How much longer are you planning to follow me around? Aunt Sabrina is dead. You can go back and report to your boss.”
“What about you?” Christopher stared at her for two seconds. “Since those people can hurt Aunt Sabrina, do you think you and Jacob are still safe?”
Yuliana pursed her lips and said, “It’s my business whether I’m safe or not. It’s none of your business.”
“None of my business?” Christopher repeated. “Then whose business is this?”
He paused for a while.
“Ana, I know what you want to do. I can help you.”
“I don’t need your help!”
Yuliana showed no appreciation and said indifferently, “Just go. This is my family’s matter. It has nothing to do with you.”
“Why don’t you want me to help you?”
Christopher was observing her reaction.
“Is it because you don’t trust me, or you don’t want to drag me into this mess?”
Yuliana just slightly moved her eyebrows but didn’t answer him.
Christopher’s mouth twitched as he smiled. The expression on his face softened a little, but he was very
serious
“Ana, you should think carefully about it. If you really want to avenge Aunt Sabrina, don’t refuse me Your know that I am capable of a lot more than you”
Then, he suddenly changed the topic and said, “Go upstairs and have a good sleep. I’m downstairs Call me if you need anything”
Yuliana indeed didn’t have much energy to deal with hirm here. She hadn’t had a good rest these days After seeing Sabrina’s body today, she immediately proceeded to give her statement for a few hours. Her mind was also full of Sabrina and Jacob.
Yuliana only gave herself a break after Jacob went upstairs to take a rest
However, when she looked at Damian’s memorial plaque, she thought of a lot of things.
Just like what Christopher said, even if Sabrina was dead, those people might not let her and Jacob go
Therefore, she couldn’t just sit there and wait for something to happen.
Yuliana went upstairs to Sabrina’s room. She freshened up quickly and lay on Sabrina’s bed. She thought it would be difficult for her to fall asleep, but she quickly lost consciousness once she closed her eyes.
She slept deeply and for a long time.
She didn’t wake up until she heard a knock on the door the next morning.
Looking out of the window, she saw it was already very bright outside. She picked up her phone and checked the time. It was almost nine o’clock.
