BossNovelChapter 1435:
Jacob didn’t even bother with a comeback.
Jessica stepped out of her room just in tto catch that line. She paused, then tiptoed back inside and shut the
door as quietly as possible. She never realized Lawrence could lay on the charm so thick.
“Then go get rid of it,” Jacob said with a casual shrug while heading downstairs.
“It’s only because of you that | went off the deep end.” Lawrence trotted after him, still upbeat. “If | get rid of
this, you'll lose your number one fan.”
Jacob replied coolly, “Honestly, that sounds perfect.”
“You're downright cold,” Lawrence huffed.
Jacob filled a glass with water, unbothered. “Glad you noticed.”
“I'll always have a soft spot for you.” Lawrence grinned, seizing the chance to turn on the charm again. “I don’t

He took a drink, then wandered over to the living room. When Jessica wasn’t in sight, he called out, “Jessica?”
From inside her room, Jessica replied, “Yes?”
“I'm going downstairs. If anything comes up, just reach out to Lawrence.” Jacob lounged by Jessica's door, his
voice thick with laziness. “He knows how everything works around here.”
“Alright,” Jessica answered.
A minute later, Jacob made his exit.
Jessica waited until the soft thud of the closing door before slipping out into the hallway.
Catching sight of her, Lawrence's face brightened with an easy smile. “Seriously, if you hadn't stepped in, |
doubt I'd even get past the entryway.”
Curiosity piqued, Jessica asked, “You mean, you've never actually stayed over before?” From her observation,
Lawrence seemed quick on the uptake, which made it even stranger that Jacob hadn’t warmed up to him yet.

“I've crashed here before.” Leaning against the wall, Lawrence let out a small, helpless laugh. “But | never lasted
longer than two days. Jacob always tossedout. And when | was around, he pretended | didn’t exist.”
Jessica crossed the room, picked up a piece of fruit, and remarked, “That sounds pretty tough.”

A gentle tone colored Jessica's reply as she peeled her orange. “It wasn't just an act...”
Lawrence was caught off guard. He went rigid. “Are you saying that really happened?”
