Talented Hairess A Rose with Thorns (Yvette and Wilson)

Chapter 613

While in Amurria, Jacob received a complaint from lan about Yvette staying overnight at Quinn Manor.

He quickly pieced the information together. That scoundrel Wilson must have been clinging to her. Without hesitation, he sent a warning message to Wilson.

Hearing some commotion coming from the bathroom, Jacob tossed his phone aside and strode toward the noise.

Just then, Nancy emerged from her shower, her wet hair cascading over her shoulders.

Jacob frowned and asked, "Why are you out here with your hair still wet?"

Before she could answer, he grabbed a hairdryer and pulled her close, gently blow-drying her

hair.

Nancy enjoyed his affectionate gesture. She then pulled out her phone to continue working on her design draft.

Watching her concentrate so intensely, Jacob's dark eyes flickered with concern. "You ought to take a break, Nance." She shook her head and said with determination, "No way. The competition's tomorrow night.

I need to make sure everything's perfect."

Jacob knew he couldn't convince Nancy, so he just kept drying her hair, offering his quiet presence as she worked.

He had come to Amurria to accompany Nancy at the design competition. Everything else, including his business, had taken a back seat.

After what felt like ages, Nancy finally set her phone down and stretched with a satisfied sigh.

""All done!"

Jacob looked at her warmly as he pulled her into an embrace. "Are you tired?"

"Not at all!" she replied enthusiastically. "The male model for tomorrow's competition is so handsome and in great shape. He'll showcase my work perfectly."

Jacob tightened his grip around her waist, his dark eyes narrowing slightly. "Handsome? In great shape?"

"Yes! He's really good-looking."

Nancy nodded vigorously, clearly enjoying the playful banter. "And his body is exceptional!"

Jacob's expression darkened as he said coolly, "Aren't you paying a little too much attention?"

Seeing the unmistakable jealousy in his eyes, Nancy couldn't help but smile. "Well, I still think your body's the best."

Her words immediately eased the tension, cooling the simmering anger in Jacob. He gently ran his fingers along her waist and said, "Nance when are you going to make things official with me?"

A playful glint danced in her eyes as she teased, "Make it official? Didn't you say you see me as a little sister?"

Jacob blinked, momentarily speechless. He had indeed treated her as he would a sister before, but he hadn't expected it to come back and bite him so quickly.

Jacob let out a sigh, eager to steer the conversation in a different direction. "If you're not ready to get married yet, how about we get engaged instead?"

Nancy shot him a teasing glare, lifting her chin defiantly. "Engaged? Seriously? I haven't even agreed to be your official girlfriend yet, and you're already thinking about an engagement? No way!" "When can I officially become your boyfriend, then?" Jacob pulled her closer, his gaze fixed on hers.

Nancy playfully pushed him away and teased, "That depends on your performance!"

Jacob felt a headache coming on but couldn't argue with her. After all, he had worked hard to secure his status. But if word got out that he was just an interim boyfriend, it would be utterly embarrassing.
