Chapter 170 His Favor Towards Her (3)

Upon hearing Jacob’s words, Audrey was slightly taken aback.

Her long lashes fluttered like butterfly wings, “Will you… be going out

often in the future? Would that harm dad’s health?”

“Do you care so much about your uncle?” Jacob’s face darkened, hist deep crimson phoenix eyes glaring angrily at Audrey, the finger holding his cigarette jabbing hard at her forehead. “He had a love–hate relationship with your mother, used Elise as a substitute for over a decade, evaded reality, was weak and incompetent, and almost harmed you and the old lady. Why are you still thinking about him?”

“In my opinion, your dad was much stronger than him. If you trust me, I promise I won’t let anyone bully you in the future!”

Before Audrey could say anything, she heard him say coldly, “If any punk dares to mess with you, I’ll punch him straight to hell!”

Audrey’s heart fluttered.

She already had an uncontrollable Sterling by her side, and now there was a father who ruled with his fists. Wouldn’t her life be in chaos?

“After this incident, my dad won’t make the same mistakes again. I’m still willing to give him another chance!”

Upon hearing Audrey’s words, a flicker of jealous fire sparked in Jacob’s phoenix eyes. He irritably ruffled his hair, “In what way am I inferior to your ‘big dad“?” Then, recalling their first meeting and conversation, he realized she didn’t know him well and couldn’t possibly have developed much affection for him. He raised an eyebrow, confidently and arrogantly declaring, “You’ll gradually discover the

good in your little dad“!”

Before Audrey could say anything, her cell phone suddenly rang.

Took out the phone from the bag and glanced at the incoming call display.

The word “elder brother“.

Her heart pounded twice.

In front of my stepfather, if I answered Sterling’s call, would he throw my phone away directly?

Seeing Audrey not answering the phone, Jacob narrowed his deep. phoenix eyes, “Which brother is calling? Real brother or boyfriend?”

“Audrey,

……

“Kid,” Dad warned, “you are not allowed to date, marry, or live with a man before you turn twenty–four–”

The corner of Audrey’s mouth twitched.

“Dad only said high school was not allowed before, he didn’t say until I was twenty–four!”

Jacob’s face darkened, a sudden chill rising in his eyes, “So, it was your boyfriend who called. Who is he?”

Audrey heard the sound of knuckles cracking.

A scene involuntarily surfaced in Audrey’s mind, where Sterling was being beaten by Jacob, yet he dared not fight back.

So tragic!

She shivered suddenly, she couldn’t allow such a thing to happen.

“It was Leonard, he had called Auntie before, saying he would come to see us after the birthday party!”

Jacob snorted, “Abandoning his own wife and children, Isaac will regret it sooner or later!”

“Audra.”

A gentle voice sounded.

Just as he was mentioned, he arrived..

Aunt Michelle and second cousin Leonard Watson came over.

Auntie, true to her name, was born into a scholarly family. Although she had gained quite a bit of weight due to a course of steroid medication she had to take for an illness a few years ago, she still looked quite dignified.

Leonard inherited the virtues of his parents, being quite handsome. From a distance, he looked like a piece of art meticulously crafted by a skilled artisan, so exquisite that not a single flaw could be found. A pair of gold–rimmed glasses with anti–sl*p chains rested on his high, straight nose. His peach blossom eyes were hidden behind the lenses, concealing the seductive and indifferent look in his eyes. Overall, he appeared refined and noble.

If it weren’t for his inability to speak after PTSD, he would have been the perfect prince charming in every woman’s heart!
