Semua Bab Love Conquers All: Bab 151 - Bab 160

Nancy went to a bar near that nightclub, which happened to be doing a masquerade event.Any pretty woman could get a mask at the door, and all the drinks were free.Nancy picked out a mask with black feathers on it. After all, it was free. She went in and downed two bottles of beer immediately.After a moment, the bar manager brought her a cocktail. "Miss, this Iris Mist is a treat from Mr. Getson.""Mr. Getson?" Nancy turned around in tipsily, asking, "Which one?""Look over there."Nancy followed the bar manager's hand and saw Julian at a seat on the second floor with a good vantage point."So it's him?" Nancy pursed her lips. "Who cares about a drink from him? Take it away!""Miss, Mr. Getson is a very important customer of ours. It's quite a prestigious thing to get a drink from him.""Who cares? Do you think I've never been flirted with before? Take it away!" Nancy waved her hand in annoyance. She did not think she would need to meet that icy man when she was just getting

Since Nancy had no one to keep her company, she was forced to eat alone after school that day. Afterward, she found a bar to drink in.Of course, she did not go to the same bar as the night before. Nancy was worried she would meet Julian again and that he would recognize her.After all, she had slapped him. She had felt a bit frightened after waking up.This time, Nancy went to the bar just to get drunk. She rejected any man who tried to buy her a drink or pick her up and did not cause any trouble.When she met her goal of getting tipsy, Nancy walked out. However, she had failed to take one thing into account: taxis were not easy to hail in front of this bar.She waited for almost twenty minutes, but not a single taxi drove by.Instead, it was those 'pick-up artists' who were waiting in front of the bar, staring at her hungrily. They were eagerly waiting to see how long that woman who was swaying around would be able to hold on.That was probably the bar's usual atmosphere. No w

"Why are you so against Uncle Benjamin? He treats me well. There's no reason why I can't be friends with him," Nancy asked, confused."How naive. No one will just suddenly be nice to you for no reason. Do you know how many people are trying to get on Benjamin's good side every day? Why would he suddenly pay attention to a regular girl like you?""That's just your speculation. He seems quite genuine when we interact. Honestly, I don't think I'm just a regular girl at all!" Nancy said emphatically."Could you be daydreaming about being his long-lost daughter? He's still single at this age. If he really thought that you were his daughter, he would have done a blood test with you and accepted you into his family. Why would he just try to get closer to you and make his intentions vague?"What Yaacob was saying did make some sense.However, Nancy was angry. She felt like he was looking down on her.Uncle Benjamin did treat her a bit strangely, and he kept on bringing up his 'daughter.'

That night, Nancy stayed up late, but she never saw Yaacob return. She could not help but feel uneasy whenever she imagined other women entering Yaacob's car. She resisted the urge to call him to come home a few times, managing to stop herself before she did.That was because after she seriously thought about it, the possibility of Yaacob asking for a divorce was high.That man knew how to handle her. Every time they quarreled, he never failed to comfort her, no matter how bad it got.Yet, this time, he had let their relationship deteriorate without doing anything. Was that not a sign he wanted to end things?Even though Nancy could not figure out what she had done to make him want to leave her, she knew she needed to do something if she did not want a divorce.The next day, much to her surprise, Lola received an invitation from Yaacob to attend a business banquet with him.The day before, the restaurant Lola had invited Yaacob to had been closed, so they had gone to her apartm

Yaacob drove back that night, with Nancy insisting on leaning on his shoulder.As she stuck to him, she complained, "You're so annoying."Yaacob said nothing."Mr. Getson, you're so annoying," Nancy said again when he did not respond. "Do you know why you're annoying?""Why?" Yaacob asked her."It should be the man comforting the woman, but every time you get angry, I have to take the initiative. You're not nice to me at all.""Didn't a certain someone complain that I was too nice in the past? Shouldn't I allow you to show how good you are?""That's different! You know why you're so hard to comfort this time." Nancy pouted and said, "I won't press the matter anymore! Mr. Getson, can we just get along well in the future?"Yaacob fell silent for five seconds before he answered, "Yes."Even though Nancy had gone on the offensive this time, she was still concerned.The next day, Yaacob was there when she woke up. That was how she knew she had finally managed to placate the man.
