The Man in Power After Being Married into Her Family
Chapter 2575

As soon as Charlie had driven away, Jacob grew a little impatient and hastened his pace.

In truth, ever since Matilda had told him on the phone that she was returning to Oskia, his heart had been filled with thoughts of Matilda.

After Matilda had returned to Oskia, it had ignited the spark that had been buried in his heart for so many years.

In the recent two to three decades, Jacob's happiest moment was when Matilda had returned. When they were at his house and cooked together. That moment when Matilda and himself were embracing in the kitchen.

However, Matilda was a very sensible person. She knew that Jacob and Elaine were yet to divorce, therefore, she had always kept a strong sense of rationality and was unwilling to make any substantial progress with Jacob.

Jacob often found himself distressed over this, but he had never had a chance to replace a breakthrough for their relationship.

Although Jacob had been very useless all his life, he was, at the very least, a normal man. He had been

looking forward to being with Matilda for so many years. He was not only obsessed with her emotionally, but he also yearned for her physically. 4

Therefore, he had always been eager to relive his old dreams with his very first love, but the occasion where the two of them had the most contact was when they were both at the Senior University. Due to this he had had to approach her with courtesy and politeness.

However, things were different this time.

Matilda had suddenly fallen ill and had a fever, and there was no one around to take care of her. Jacob felt that a woman was the most vulnerable during this time of need. She needed someone who could provide her with constant support.

Coupled with the fact that the two of them had a history where they still held feelings for one another and they still do till this very day, in this case, it would be even easier for them to get sexually intimate with one another. 3

Therefore, Jacob hurriedly made his way over to her house as he looked forward to today's breakthrough. 1

As for Elaine, he wasn't even bothered to think about her, nor did he even want to think about it.

After all, in his opinion, Elaine was the destroyer of his life. He had no feelings nor loyalty toward her.

Excitedly, he trotted all the way to the doorsteps at the gate of Matilda's villa.

The single-family villa didn't look very big, but from the design of it, it looked very glamorous. Jacob stood at the doorsteps of her front gate and immediately rang the doorbell.

At this moment, from inside the villa, Matilda, who was wrapped in a thick down jacket, weakly made her way to the security monitor and saw that Jacob was standing outside her gates. She pressed the open button and said, "Jacob, I'm feeling very uncomfortable, so, I won't be going to the door to get you. Come in by yourself." 3

Jacob hurriedly replied, "Matilda, please don't come out lest you suffer from the wind and catch an even worse cold. I brought you some food, so I will bring it i n."

With that said, he quickly pushed the villa door open, walked through the small courtyard, and came to the entrance door of the villa.

When Matilda opened the front door, a wave of heat rushed from within the villa out into the open.

Jacob asked in surprise, "Why is it so hot in your house?!"

Matilda wrapped her down jacket tightly around herself and said weakly, "I was feeling too cold, so I cranked up the heater to maximum heat and turned on the air ventilator." Jacob, seeing her fatigue and pale expression, couldn't help but say in distress, "What's going on?! Why did

you suddenly come down with a fever?"

Matilda replied helplessly, "It was forecasted that the weather was going to be too humid this year.

Although the temperature is not too cold, it's still really easy for people to fall sick due to the weather..." 2

Jacob hurriedly reached out and grabbed Matilda's soft hands tightly as he said worriedly, "Oh, why are your hands so hot?! Have you taken your temperature? How many degrees Celsius is your fever?"
