Chapter 21

The meal was really painful. After dinner, Maxine knew that she was ashamed to stay, so she asked Jake to send her home. After what happened, Jake was uneasy about staying at their house, so he had to send her home as an excuse to get some fresh air. "Jake, why did you not speak for me at the dinner table earlier?" Maxine bit her bottom lip and stared at Jake's eyes. But Jake just gave her a look and did not say anything. "I knew it, I knew you must still have her in your heart!" Maxine clenched her fist hard, but the words did not come out. Maxine understood that Jake had always liked Natasha. If it were not for her own strategies, the two would not break up, and after spending some time with Jake, he finally had some feelings for her, but Natasha appeared again and there was nothing left for her. "Jake, how did Natasha know your uncle and become your aunt?" "I do not know." Jake told the truth, which was also the point he could not figure out. He actually had feelings for Natasha, but Maxine said Natasha had changed. Now, when he looked at it, she really changed. Originally, he agreed to be with Maxine just to stimulate Natasha and made her feel jealous. Jake did not expect the change that day. It was just that Maxine had been begging him to go to his house for a meal. Even Maxine lost her face. He did not pay special attention to it, that was when he saw his uncle spoil Natasha so much, he felt unspeakable in his heart. "Jake, I have one more thing to say. I still do not know if I should say it." Maxine suddenly opened her mouth. "What is it?" "Natasha's family are just ordinary workers. You know that people in her class are unlikely to recognize your uncle easily." Having said that, she pretended to be very embarrassed, trying to say it but not daring to say it. "You are right, and then what?" He asked then looked at her awkward appearance, Maxine succeeded in attracting his attention. "Jake, Natasha came to ask me to let her borrow money before. I was thinking, your uncle being in that condition and his legs like that, there will definitely be no girls willing to be with him. I suspect Natasha deliberately hooked up with you for your uncle's money. You should be careful." Looking at Jake's expression, Maxine knew that he must have believed it, and quickly added a few words. "Natasha has always had no good friends at school because of her poor family, and only I was willing to be friends with her." Seeing Jake's thoughtful appearance, Maxine said again, "These days, girls don't love vanity. It must be Natasha who wants to fly to the branches and become a phoenix, so she hooked up with your uncle, and your uncle's condition was just to give Natasha an opportunity." Was that really the case? Jake obviously believed her. Maxine was Natasha's best friend, and she had no reason to lie to him. "Jake, you must be careful with Natasha. I think your uncle dotes on her. I'm sure these words cannot be heard." Jake nodded, a firm belief arises spontaneously. That was not only about Natasha, his uncle was poor enough, the whole family was very concerned about his uncle, if Natasha deceived him, what would his uncle do? The car arrived at the door of Maxine's house, and Maxine looked at Jake's handsome side face and did not want to leave. "Jake, have a meal at my house before you go." "No." He spoke, still very serious. "Jake, you are not still angry that I have provoked your uncle, are you? I know I was wrong." Maxine tried to put her arm around him and lean on his shoulder like a boyfriend and girlfriend, but he raised his hand and avoided her. "Jake, don't you want to go to my house?" Although Jake was unwilling, she asked again. "It is not like I have not been there before." Jake said carelessly, "Well, you hurry go inside." Maxine had to get out of the car in a mess and look at the man's ruthless dust. She bit her lip. Jake's attitude towards her was not that of a girlfriend at all. Sure enough, there was only Natasha in his heart. "Where is Natasha?" As soon as he got home, Jake asked the family servant about Natasha's whereabouts. "She should be resting in her bedroom." As soon as the servant's words fell, Jake rushed upstairs, his fists clenched tightly, and he was deeply angry at Natasha. Jake felt that his whole body seemed to be full of sense of justice, and he was going to clean up a very bad person in the whole world. "No one could lie to my uncle any more." He thought, speeding up his pace and rushing into Natasha's room. Natasha, who was reading a book, strangely turned her head and looked at Jake, who pushed the door without knocking. When he came up, he closed the door. Looking at Natasha, he said word by word, "How much money do you need to leave my uncle alone? I can get it out for you." Natasha looked at him strangely. "Jake, what are you so crazy about?"
