The Secret Heir's Return to Wealth and Love novel Chapter 1782

Jacob took the cat back to his bedroom.

He got two glasses of water, then walked back to the living room, set the water in front of Rosalynn, and sat across from her.

"Did Paige have the baby?"

"Uh huh." Rosalynn nodded, "She had a really cute baby girl."

"Congrats." Jacob nodded, took a sip of water, "Was Erica there too?"

"Uh huh." Rosalynn nodded again, "What about you? How are you feeling now?"

Jacob forced a bitter smile, looking up at Rosalynn, "What do you think?”

They say time heals all wounds.

Jacob used to comfort Wayne with the same words.

But when it was his turn, he realized that time is not a healer, but a slow poison that erodes him.

"Is this why you let your old friends suffer so much?" Rosalynn asked helplessly.

Jacob frowned.

He was going to ask if Erica sent Rosalynn to see him.

But now, he doesn't need to ask anymore.

"Shawn is losing it, he's been coming to me and Wayne for days." Rosalynn looked at Jacob, "Jacob, what are you thinking? You've cut off ties with Erica, are you going to fall out with your friends too?"

"You don't need to worry about this." Jacob finished his water, put down the glass, "You mind your own business, I'll handle mine."

With that, Jacob planned to head back to his room.

"Most of the time since I've had memories, I've been with Erica, many of my habits were formed because of her, how could I possibly let go?" Jacob's eyes were full of anger and confusion.

"So you're going to dwell on the past, are you going to live like this, holding onto the past for the rest of your life?" Rosalynn countered, "Look at you now, it's as if Erica has coldly neglected you for a decade, then abandoned you, do you find yourself ridiculous?"

During this time, including Jacob's parents, everyone around him was walking on eggshells, no one dared to reprimand Jacob like Rosalynn did.

Jacob anxiously rubbed his hair, his breathing became rapid, forcing him to stop and take a deep breath.

After a while, he looked at Rosalynn, "I know I was wrong..."

"Jacob, it's not about right or wrong anymore." Rosalynn's voice softened a bit.

Jacob covered his face with his hands, unable to hold back his tears.

He felt like a person with a split personality, constantly telling himself to accept the reality that Erica no longer loved him.
