Sara noticed the embarrassed look on Jacob's face, but she did not say it out loud.
"How are you? Bored?" She walked to the sofa and sat down next to him.
"Are you okay?" Jacob glanced at Sara nervously, only to realize that his question was strange and
abrupt.
Of course, Sara was clever enough to understand what he meant. In fact, she figured that his question
had two meanings.
One, he asked to know whether everything was alright about the matter at hand; Two, he wondered if
her father was okay with the news.
Sara shook her head in response, but she looked calm and unfazed. "Don't worry. Everything's going to
be alright."
She paused for a second and continued, "Honestly, I think the reason my father didn't ask you was
because he thought that you could handle it well. Please don't let us down. My father and I think alike."
With a nod, Jacob held her hand and gave it a gentle squeeze. She looked so calm, which made him
feel relieved.
"I'm not afraid of anything. It's just that I'm afraid that you'll misunderstand me." Jacob gazed at her
affectionately. He seemed as though he wanted to see right through her soul.
It took him a long time to realize that there was one thing he needed to do: cherish everything and
everyone important.
For many years, a lot of hindrances came in hopes of preventing him from being with Sara. Now that
they were together, Jacob was determined in sharing life's ups and downs with the person he loved.
As long as Sara was willing to be with him, Jacob would never give up.
"Anyway, I'd better help my father cook. If there's anything else, we can talk about it after dinner." Sara
stretched out his hand and gently caressed Jacob's face. With that, she stood up and went to the
kitchen.
Meanwhile, Jacob finally breathed a sigh of relief. For some reason, he felt that his feelings for Sara
were different than before.
He turned back to the TV and watched a film about a renowned war. Although fictional elements were
added in the movie, he thought that it was reasonable and needed.
Besides, most of the values advocated by those TV dramas were correct. Some of them could even
arouse people's enthusiasm and urge to change.
Jacob was completely absorbed by what he was watching. He even frowned and laughed sometimes.
Little did he know, Sara was watching him. She stared at him from afar but did not judge him for his
reactions. She sensed that he was completely different from before, even though she could not tell the
difference.
People always find new things once they get along with other people. Jacob thought so, and so did
Sara.
So now... the two of them were finding each other's strengths.
