Back in Love
Chapter 245 Everyone Knows That I Love You

Hearing that, Jacob looked at her, with a tinge of coldness flashing through his eyes. "Did they say that? Do you believe them? Did I tell you that who the one I love most is?"

"You didn't say it before. That's why I ask you face to face now! I don't want to guess it again. What you told me that day is completely different from what happened to you, Mia and Ellie! So please tell me what is true and what is a lie! What kind of promise was it? What did it have to do with Ellie and Mia? If you don't tell me today, I won't listen to you anymore."

He clenched his fists and stared at her silently for two minutes before he finally compromised. He sighed slightly and said, "Okay, I'll tell you. It was just a promise I made to my friend in the past. But I didn't expect that things would go on like this. "

Lola listened quietly without saying a word.

"You know that Mia is my best friend. But you don't know why she had an accident..."

Lola frowned and pursed her lips. She looked at him with a pair of deep and sad eyes.

All she could remember was that Mia suddenly disappeared and she didn't know what had happened.

"I was about the same age as Mia, and we were close to each other. Everyone thought that we should be a couple, and there were many people who matched us in college. But we both knew that we were just friends of each other and couldn't be lovers. But all of a sudden, something happened to Mia, which made her be paralyzed for her life. Before she went abroad, she asked me to take care of Ellie and let me promise to take good care of her for the rest of her life... I agreed. "

"You... Why did you agree to such an unreasonable request? For what? Why?" She asked in confusion.

Jacob smiled bitterly and his eyebrows were full of worry. "You know that Mia was a dancer. She danced well and won a prize on the international stage at a young age... Her legs were her life! But in order to save me, she had an accident... I felt guilty. How could I refuse her request? So I agreed..."

Tears welled up in Lola's eyes. "You promised Mia to take care of Ellie all your life, but did you know what it meant..."

Jacob looked at her in a daze, as if looking into the distance. "I didn't know at that time. Later, Ellie acted as my girlfriend and appeared by my side. Then I realized that something was wrong... But it was too late. In front of everyone, Ellie regarded herself as my girlfriend and used that promise as her bargaining chip. I... Besides, I didn't know my love for you at that time... So... "

"So you let Ellie become your girlfriend without hesitation." She sneered, "You are really ridiculous, Jacob! People all think that you love Mia and your ex girlfriend, Ellie, but you tell me that everything is just a beautiful misunderstanding, just a joke?"

"I tell you the truth because I don't want you to think too much. Only Ellie and I knew that promise. Later, Ellie left. I thought I got my freedom and could make decisions on my own. I didn't expect that I would be forced into a marriage before I made my love for you clear... How could I not be angry? How could I accept you at that time willingly?"

His eyes were red and there was a touch of pain between his eyebrows.

At that time, he was experiencing the first awakening of love. He was still confused about love, and he was also in a daze when facing Mia and Ellie...

Moreover, he couldn't figure out what he loved at all, but he was forced to marry Louisa by the elder. He hated that Louisa had played tricks on him, and he also hated why he was always forced to do something he was unwilling to do again and again!

"At that time, I was very clear that I liked you and loved you. So I wanted to marry you. But you didn't know who you loved. So you just wanted to resist. But you couldn't resist grandma's decision, so you put all your resentment and anger on me, kept away from me, and hated me... Jacob, I was more mature than you years ago, but now, why haven't you made any progress?"

Jacob stood up and said angrily, "For so many years, I naturally know who I love in my heart! Let me tell you, Lola, the only person I have loved and the only person I really love is you! Why do you have to play dumb with me when others can see it? "

'Everyone knows that I love you, but you don't think so.'

He didn't know whether it was his own sadness or Lola's.

Seeing that he was angry, Lola also stood up and looked into the man's eyes. "What about your promise? Do you want to ignore it? Or do you not only want to maintain the marriage with me but also continue to take care of Ellie for the rest of your life?"

"When she went abroad, she had voluntarily given up that promise. Now I will help her no matter what difficulties she has. But I can't give her love, nor can I marry her. I have tried my best to take care of her fo the sake of Mia. Even if she blames me in the future, I can't give up my love for her!"

Her heart was beating fast and her face was red. She said, "Does it mean that you break your promise? Is it worth breaking your promise to your best friend for the sake of your love? "

Jacob looked at her deeply, took a deep breath and said calmly, "I said it was Ellie who gave up everything voluntarily... Even if I break some bullshit promise, I will take the consequences alone. It has nothing to do with others. In the past, I was always pushed by others, but now, I just want to choose what I love. I don't want to be controlled by anyone. Lola, if you still can't trust me till now, I really don't know what to do."

She looked at him and saw sadness, helplessness and disappointment in his eyes.

He was really tired.

Why didn't she trust him when others knew his heart?

Was it because she was hurt too much that she lost her confidence?

Obviously, Lola was afraid of losing now. She was not as brave and stubborn as Louisa at all!

Back then, he was rebellious and paranoid, and didn't know what love was, so he missed Louisa, who was pursuing love bravely.

Now, Jacob knew who he loved and how much he loved her, but who he met was Lola who was insecure... Fate must be playing tricks on them!

Lola covered her chest and felt a little pain. She pursed her lips and said, "You don't need to do anything more. I just want to know the truth of the matter. If you didn't hide it from me from the beginning..." "Lola, trust is mutual." He sighed and smiled bitterly, "Well, if you don't want to go back, I won't force you. I know you are very busy, so I won't take up your time..."

After taking a deep look at her, Jacob turned around, paid the bill and left.

However, this time, Lola did not chase after him. Instead, she stayed where she was, in a daze.[
