“Your date doesn’t seem good enough though.” Jacob looked at Heidi and complained a bit.
How could he slander me as a human trafficker? I would have taught him a proper lesson if my
daughter weren’t present. Jacob shook his head and sighed.
Jacob felt that it was a waste of time if he continued staying back, so he lowered his head and waved
at his daughter. “See you tomorrow, Heidi.”
Heidi looked at him and pursed her lips. Then she nodded lightly.
Jacob was happy to see his daughter’s positive reaction. He decided to try harder tomorrow and get
her to call him daddy.
However, two policemen stopped him just as he approached the restaurant’s exit. One of the
waitresses had rung up the police before the situation had gotten rowdy earlier.
This restaurant was famous for its delectable food. Many wealthy businessmen frequented the
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtrestaurant, so it was one of the notable hotspots of the regional police station.
Therefore, the police arrived within five minutes shortly after they received the call.
“Sir, please lend us your cooperation.” One of the taller police officers pressed his right hand on his
waist. His eyes shone with alertness.
Jacob frowned lightly. “I’m here just to have a steak.” He reached into his pocket as he spoke.
The two policemen suddenly became nervous. They pulled out their guns and shouted loudly, “Put your
hands where we can see them!”
“Don’t worry. I’m only taking my phone out.” After saying that, he took out his phone.
At that moment, Moira carried Heidi and approached them.
Jacob pointed at Moira and said, “She can testify for me. I’m not a human trafficker.”
Moira glared at him and spoke coldly, “I’m so sorry, sir. I don’t know him.” Then, she carried Heidi and
left.
“Great. That’s absolutely great.” Jacob nodded and switched his attention towards his phone once
more.
“Sir, please don’t do anything that might cause us to misunderstand you!” The police officer warned.
Jacob glanced at the police officer and turned on his phone screen nonchalantly.
Two minutes later, he left under the scrutiny of both police officers.
After more than half an hour later, Jacob asked his daughter gently before Moira. “I’ll go and pick you
up from your kindergarten tomorrow, okay?”
“Dream on!” Moira gritted her teeth and snarled at Jacob. She pulled Heidi into the residential area.
“See you tomorrow, my dear daughter!” He smiled and waved at them.
Jacob suddenly received his father’s call on his way back to The Pavilion. He gently shook his head
and steered in another direction towards Rowan Lane.
“Where did you go today? Why can’t I reach your phone?” Franklin asked his son as soon as he arrived
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmhome.
“I went to the mountains.” Jacob simply answered.
Franklin gave his son a disapproving look and responded with dissatisfaction. “What are you doing in
the mountains? Didn’t we agree on meeting Master Roman?” Little did Franklin know that his son had
gone to the mountains to wipe off a hundred-year cult.
“Dad, didn’t I tell you that I’ll go see Master Roman myself?” Jacob blinked helplessly.
“Why do you still need to choose a timing to show someone your gratitude?” Franklin glared at his son.
“Master Roman saved your life. Do you want others to think that you were brought up as an ungrateful
brat?”
Jacob saw that his father was on the verge of getting angry. He decided to relent. “Why don’t we go
tomorrow then? It’s already afternoon now.”
Just as he finished speaking, his phone rang.
