Chapter 9 Birthday Gift (Part One)

After the chairman of the Lin Group jumped off the building, it declared bankruptcy directly.

Since then Reese didn't need to work, she lived a carefree life as the daughter-in-law of the Shen family. In the past, she used to work in the operation Department of her family's company. Now, in order to avoid suspicion, she chose to live a quiet life.

However, there were many trivial things in daily life. She needed to accompany Jacob to the hospital for all kinds of examinations, and anything else that could help him recover his eyesight.

During this period of time when they got along with each other, except that Reese couldn't accept intimate contact, she did take good care of Jacob.

Gradually, Jacob liked this gentle and considerate woman more and more. Although he couldn't see her appearance, according to Libby's description, she should have a beautiful face.

Knowing that his physical defect was a weakness, Jacob had enough patience and time to move the heart of Reese.

One day, there was nothing important to do, so Reese went out to have a walk alone.

Although Libby had always been nice to her, and Jacob was also a standard warm man, Reese always felt uncomfortable in the Shen family.

She didn't feel so comfortable until she came out to breathe some fresh air.

Unconsciously, Reese came to her home again. The big seal on it separated her from the memories of her parents in her childhood.

"Beep, beep," the car whistling behind interrupted Reese. She walked to the roadside and made way for the car behind.

However, the car behind her rang again.

Reese was a little angry and made way for it, but the noise of "Beep, beep" kept coming.

"Do you understand...?"Reese angrily turned around and stared at the red eye-catching Ferrari. When she saw the driver through the window, she stopped and asked, "Scott?"

"Get in the car!" The man stopped the car in front of her.

Seeing her old friend, Reese got on the car without hesitation, "When did you come back?"

"I've just been back for a few days. I've heard about the Lin family. Are you okay?" Scott Ai looked at Reese worriedly. She was much thinner than before.

Hearing this, Reese couldn't help crying. No matter what happened these days, she had to face it bravely. Her fragility inadvertently appeared in front of the people who were familiar with her.

"Reese, are you willing to spend the rest of your life with Jacob, the son of the Shen family?" Hearing Reese's words, Scott Ai became a little angry and excited.

Compared with his mood, Reese was much calmer. She took a sip of coffee slowly and said, "He is not bad except for some flaws. I married him because I wanted to save Lin Group. Now my father has left, but I can't do that kind of thing to add insult to injury. "

Reese had calmed down a lot than before. She told Scott Ai everything that had happened these days, except the things between her and Trevor.

"You are too kind!" Hearing her words, Scott Ai shook his head helplessly.

Speaking of kindness, Reese thought of the man who had been protecting her all the time. This word was more suitable for him. He had always been accommodating her, but she didn't know what his attitude would be if he knew what she had done.

Her expression began to tangle. Jacob was already very unfortunate, and she could no longer betray him.

Looking at the painful expression on Reese's face, Scott Ai felt sorry for her. "No matter what you do, I will support you. If you need anything, just call me."

"Thank you, Scott." Reese was deeply touched. In such a situation, her friend was still willing to help.

Scott's father had sent him to study abroad for two years. They hadn't seen each other for a long time, so they talked for a long time.

When Reese looked out of the window, it was already dark.

"It's getting late. I should go back to the Shen family." She ended their conversation.

"Okay, I'll drive you home." Scott Ai had always been obedient to her.

When they arrived at the Shen family, Scott couldn't help but told Reese, "I hope you can live a happy life!"

"Okay." Reese couldn't promise him anything, because there were some things that could only be helped by the Shen family.

The Shen family's old house was very lively tonight. Even Shawn, who seldom showed up at home, came back.

Hearing that Reese had come back, Jacob came over and held her hand. "Reese, are you okay? I called you but couldn't get through."

Reese was confused. She didn't hear the phone ring. She took out her phone from her bag and looked at it. "Sorry, my phone is out of power. I met an old friend today and we talked for a long time. "

"It's good that you are fine." Seeing that Reese came back, Jacob felt relieved.

"Why is it so lively today?" Reese asked as she saw the servants walking back and forth.

"Miss Reese, don't you know it's Mr. Jacob's birthday today?" Kelly happened to pass by and said.

"Sorry, I didn't know it. I came back too late." Reese said to Jacob in embarrassment.

"It's okay. I was going to give you a surprise." Hearing what Reese said, Jacob smiled brightly like a brother next door.

"But it's your birthday. I haven't prepared any gift for you. It's my fault." Seeing his smile, Reese felt guilty.

"It doesn't matter. I know you have that in your mind." Jacob held Reese's hand and walked towards the dining table.

"Dad, mom." Seeing them sitting at the table, Reese greet them respectfully.

"Take a seat, Reese. Kelly, serve the dishes!" Libby ordered.

"Wait a minute. Trevor hasn't come back yet. On the birthday, the whole family should have a family reunion dinner." Shawn ordered.

"It's his brother's birthday. He came so late. I think he did it on purpose." Libby said discontentedly.

"There is an important meeting in the company today. I asked him to attend it on behalf of me. He is on the way now." Shawn said.

At this late time, only Reese and Trevor hadn't go home. At the beginning, Jacob suspected that they were together.
