"Mr. Jacob, you are back."

Lily walked up to Jacob and helped him take off his coat happily.

Jacob was a little surprised. He couldn't help but look at Lily and asked casually, "what's wrong? Why are you so happy?"

Hearing that, Lily chuckled. "Miss Nicole went shopping today and brought gifts for us."

"Really? Really? " The person didn't report this to Jacob. He was a little shocked.

Jacob was infected by Lily's smile and smiled too. "Yes, it's really good."

"Have a seat, Mr. Jacob. I'll ask Miss Nicole to have dinner downstairs."

"Yes."

Besides, she was the sold to Jacob, so how could she spend his money?

"Don't think too much. I'm not considering for you. I'm considering for myself. You're mine now, and it represents my image. People will misunderstand that I'm not generous enough if you are too mean on money."
