Chapter 1791
Jacob shifted his gaze and walked out expressionlessly.
“Jacob.
Just as Jacob was about to step out, Shawn’s voice rang out.
He stopped in his tracks.
“We’ve been through life and death together, remember that time we went off–roading together? I saved you from
the lake. I risked my life for you! I might owe Erica, but I’ve never wronged you!”

Rosalynn also stood up, gave a glance to the sobbing Shawn, then turned and left the room as well.

Jacob glanced at Rosalynn, didn’t want to answer at first, but then spoke, “When Hana was born, Shawn was stuck
overseas for some reasons, I took care of the kid for a few months at his request.”
“I see.” Rosalynn’s face showed a look of sudden realization.
Jacob thought that next, Rosalynn would use Hana to persuade him.

It wasn’t until they got back in the car that Jacob couldn’t hold back anymore, “Rosalynn, didn’t you come to talk
