Chapter 3100 Tell Joan
“Let her rest for a while.” Jake looked up at Gabriella.
That made the woman even angrier. Why is there only one woman in his heart? This is so unfair!
She was losing the battle for Jake’s heart, even after Joan withdrew herself from consideration.
“You tell her that yourself!” Gabriella said in a huff as she turned and disappeared.
What’s wrong with that girl? Why did she lose her temper all of a sudden? Jake shook his head at the departing figure of Gabriella.
Women were prone to change; there’s no telling when they’re in a foul mood.
Jake distilled the root of life’s problems to woman’s fickle nature, then thought no more about it. He stood up and headed toward the kitchen.
Sure enough, Joan was still busy and was sweating profusely.
“You look like you’ve worked really hard. Why don’t you take a break,” Jake said as he strode in. He grabbed some paper towels to mop the sweat off Joan’s brow.
Sh*t! Why is he in here? Where’s Gabriella? Joan glanced toward the living room in a panic.
“Get out! Hurry! Out!” She shoved Jake back outside.
What’s going on? Why is she in such a panic? The man glared at her with displeasure as Gabriella observed the entire turn of events from not far away.
Looks like Jake has not given up on Joan. I have next to no chance. Gabriella sighed and turned toward the window, feeling hurt.
Why is God so unfair? Larry likes Joan, and so does Jake. Why doesn’t anyone like me? Gabriella searched her mind for an answer, her eyes filled with sorrow.
“What’s wrong with you? Did someone dump you?” Suddenly, Jake appeared behind her. As he passed by, he knocked on the back of her head playfully.
Perhaps they were a bit more acquainted with each other, but Jake treated her differently than before.
“What’s wrong with you,” Gabriella muttered as she stroked her hair.
What’s going on with this girl? At her tone, Jake squinted curiously at Gabriella.
“You like Joan, don’t you? Why don’t you go to her? Why are you coming to me?” Gabriella muttered again.
Why can’t I come to her? Besides, Joan is consumed with thoughts of Larry. Where would she find the time to think about me? Since he had been unceremoniously expelled from the kitchen by Joan, he thought he would come to Gabriella for a chat.
“What happened to you? Did someone bully you? Tell me who, and I’ll go kick his ass,” Jake stated with a righteous pat on his chest.
He must be joking! Who would dare to bully me, Gabriella Ward? Gabriella turned away from Jake, afraid that he would be able to see through her thoughts.
“Still ignoring me?” Jake resumed knocking on her head teasingly.
It sounded strange as Jake was usually cold and calculated at work or in life in general. But these days, he was always in a playful mood when he was with Gabriella.
Perhaps he wasn’t even aware himself that he had developed feelings toward the woman.
Unbeknownst to the both of them, Joan was silently observing them from the kitchen.
These two are pretty good together! Joan smiled in satisfaction.
“Damn it, Jake, stop messing up my hair!” Gabriella exploded.
“It’s fine; you can straighten yourself up afterward,” Jake said as he continued teasing her.
What’s with him and his fetish for my hair? Gabriella was slowly growing very annoyed.
“Jake, I’m going to get you!” she shouted.
