Chapter 38

When she took a closer look, she did not expect Jake to be there. But it also made sense. The place was also Jake's house, and during the summer vacation, Jake sat in the back garden. Natasha saw him, but went directly in and sat down opposite from where he was sitting. She had nothing to scruple or be guilty about, she did not owe him anything. Jake, on the other hand, was furious, staring at her all the time, as if she did not have the right to appear there. Natasha found that he had been staring at her, and she felt something. "What are you looking at me for? I'm your little aunt. Am I not supposed to appear here? It's not the first time you've seen me here." Jake folded his arms and shrugged off. "My little aunt? Can I really call you my aunt?" "Why can't you? I am your aunt now." "You..." Jake gritted his teeth, but he did not speak out. He thought that he was facing the girl he loved before, but now he did not know why she became his uncle's woman, which he never expected and did not want to see. "I know, you certainly don't want them to know about our past relationship, so you have to be quiet if you really want to." Natasha said, and also specially took a look at him. She was deliberately angry with him. He was like a pig. He believed what Maxine said in front of him. He did not have a trace of trust in Natasha, only suspicion. In that case, why should Natasha be polite to him? "Aren't you also unwilling to let them know?" Jake responded. "You cross with me sometimes in front of my uncle because they don't know our relationship." He added. Natasha smiled and faced his accusing eyes. "I sometimes don't know why you are always targeting me." "What can I do against you? You are my aunt." When Jake said the word aunt, he bit his teeth tightly and stared at her deeply, as if he wanted to swallow her alive. "Jake, you mentioned the breakup at the beginning. At that time, Maxine was not there. Wasn't it because you and Maxine have already got along? Her mom had already regarded you as her son-in-law." "Don't talk about other people. It is obvious that you refused to see me during the holiday. In fact, you have already hooked up with my rich uncle behind my back. You are simply a vain woman and dumped me." Natasha listened to Jake's words and only felt funny. "Jake, what made you think so?" "You refused to see me during the summer vacation. Maxine said you were going to marry a rich man. She said you didn't like me at all. I didn't believe it at first, but when I saw you with my uncle, I believed it. What made you think I have already gotten along with Maxine?" Clearly I have always liked you! He didn't dare to say the last sentence, he just clenched his fist tightly. Looking at Jake, Natasha took out her mobile phone. She showed him the screenshots sent by another person. The content of the screenshot was Maxine's circle of friends, which was the summer vacation when Natasha refused to see Jake. The pictures sent by her friends were photos of Maxine and Jake going out to have fun together, and the comment areas were full of contents wishing them an everlasting relationship. It turned out that Maxine had already created an illusion that they were together and blocked Natasha. Jake was surprised to see the words. The photos were indeed taken by them, but he didn't care much at that time. Obviously, he just took a photo casually, and he didn't know about her sending it to her circle of friends. "Jake, you said that my family was poor and I didn't refute it at all. That's true, but you should know what kind of person I am. I never asked for your money when I was with you." "Why have you been avoiding me during the summer vacation then? Are you already his girlfriend? You clearly hooked up with my uncle." Jake said, unwilling to be outdone. "I have been working during the summer vacation. I did not want you to know. I am afraid that you will lose your face, so I avoided you during the summer vacation. I did not expect you to be with Maxine during that time. You two were so sweet and even met her parents." Natasha looked at him coldly. He could not say a word, he obviously wanted to say something, but her words blocked him to death. Was it really his mistake? "Those were just misunderstandings. I didn't mean it like this." Jake wanted to explain so much, but he did not know how to say what he was thinking in words. Maxine and him were together only because Maxine was her good friend. He wanted to be angry with her but he couldn't. "It was already in the past, so there is nothing that could be done. Now that I am your aunt, don't say anything." Natasha's words fell, and then she left the garden. Their chat suddenly made her feel dull and she already had no mood to enjoy looking at the flowers. Jake looked at her back without saying a word. In his heart, it was clear that she deceived him first. Why was she so confident, and he couldn't refute anything?  Was what she said true and he was wrong? Time flashed by and it was already the afternoon the same day, and it was almost time to celebrate Miss Abby's birthday with everyone. Natasha went out wearing the white dress that Penny bought for her. It was very sunny outside. Natasha took a taxi to go there. When she arrived, she met many classmates at the door. Because Natasha's family was not very good, she usually had few friends in the class. She nodded politely to several people, and they walked into the private room one after another. When Natasha wanted to push the door to enter the room, she heard a very loud voice chatting inside. It was very loud, even the voice of Maxine came clearly, and her hand pushing the door paused. "Maxine, didn't you get along well with Natasha? This is the point. Why is Natasha not here yet?" She counted the number of people and found out that it came to too many from what she expected, especially the people who were poking fun at her. "I think it may be that her family is not very well off financially, and she is afraid that she will have no face if she comes. After all, everyone here is well off. Maybe she is afraid of coming to this place. She has no budget to consume here." Maxine mercilessly ridiculed. "Maxine, your clothes look good. Where did you buy them? Natasha may not be able to afford it for a lifetime." A girl quickly leaned in to kiss up. Maxine's family was very well off. There were only a few people in her class who were richer than her family. Maxine had always been the focus of everyone. "How can Natasha compare with Maxine? Can you not bring any more Maxine?" Another girl quickly refuted the flattering girl. "This skirt is the latest one I bought after saving for two months. It was only sold yesterday." Maxine was satisfied with her words, but she still pretended to be elegant and generous. "But how can you say that about Natasha just now? Although she seduced my boyfriend before, I still regard her as my best sister." "Maxine, you are so kind. Natasha has seduced your boyfriend, and you still treat her as a sister." "Don't say that about Natasha. Natasha's family is not good. You also know that after all, her father worked at a construction site to help others work, and her mother cleaned other people's houses. Natasha had already suffered a lot so do not ridicule her." Maxine said, her voice amplified a lot, and everyone heard it clearly. "Natasha doesn't go to school now. I was not sure about it but she wants to find a big man to marry." "What? Who would be the unlucky man that wanted to marry her like that?" "Yeah, I didn't expect her to seduce Jake in the first place, but fortunately Jake didn't..." Maxine stopped talking, but sent a lot of information to everyone. "In any case, Natasha is my good friend." What a double faced woman. Natasha's face turned indifferent when she heard those words. At the moment, she just wanted to rush in and tear her nonsense mouth up. "You are the one who stole my boyfriend!" She wanted to scream at her but held herself back. Her mood really turned black and white then upside down.
