Chapter 240

In the narrow kitchen, the crackling sound of the oil pan reverberated, which should have brought the warmth of the family. However, Anna's eyebrows and eyes had lingering fatigue, even the tight shoulder lines drooped down. She was absent-minded and looked at the zucchini in front of her. She should have continued to cut vegetables, but she was stunned and did not move.

Jacob came back from the bathroom. When Anna heard the news, she turned her head and glanced at Jacob. But Jacob didn't look at Anna at all. She just walked straight behind her, back to back.

Jacob went to the next table, picked up his cell phone, Sam just sent a text message: Sam is still his studio assistant, when he was in London, all the work of the studio by Sam temporarily.

After confirming the text message, Jacob put back his cell phone and heard Anna's voice, "so you have a very good relationship with your colleagues."

Jacob turned around, and his eyes were puzzled. "Er... What do you mean?" His voice was full of fatigue. Instead of arguing with Anna, he sat down against the wall, slowly, as if every muscle of his body was groaning, and his eyebrows were faint under the cream light.

"Why didn't you tell me that you had a relationship with her before?" Anna turns her back to Jacob, picks up the knife again and starts to cut zucchini.

Jacob picked up his wine glass, heard this sentence, the action slightly pause, raised the right hand holding the wine glass, with the thumb pulp gently rubbed the temple, the kind of irritability and tiredness of heavy spread between hands and feet - he was even lazy to use his left hand to do the action just now, gently exhaled, "why do you want to see my mobile phone?"

"I didn't check your phone." Anna's voice rose unnaturally. She leaned over and waved her right hand with a knife. She explained, "I went over and your message just jumped out." Anna gave a dry smile to hide her embarrassment and embarrassment, "it's not so difficult..."

"My message just popped up like that?" Jacob interrupted Anna's words, and his voice rose involuntarily. He said inconceivably that the irony and anger between the words had been suppressed, but it became more and more obvious.

"Yes, I can see..." Anna turned around again and awkwardly picked up the zucchini in her hand. She seemed to confirm whether the section was appropriate, but she was just hiding her confusion. "Not so... You don't need to be Einstein. Tell me what's going on between you

Jacob tilted his head and looked powerlessly at Anna's back. His brows were full of fatigue and he didn't want to continue arguing. He slowed down and said slowly, word by word, "nothing."

But the slowing tone revealed his impatience and boredom. Anna put down her knife and turned face to face with Jacob again. "Why can't you just say it? Jacob

"I said nothing." Jacob played with his hands on the wine glass, closed his eyes and leaned his head against the wall, trying to smooth his tone, but the effect was very bad.

"There's obviously something else going on between you and her." But Anna didn't rely on it. She put her hands on her chest and leaned against the stove. She said firmly.

"I..." Jacob's anger surged up, he said a word, clenched his teeth, trying to calm down, but failed, he simply put the wine glass heavily on the table, but his fingers did not seem to be able to do so, actually picked up the glass again, "there is nothing between me and her!"

He said firmly with his hands on his knees. But Anna didn't believe it at all.

"You have nothing to do with her?"

"No! Not at all

"There's nothing between you?"

"Absolutely not!"

"You're lying."

The words between you and me are in a mess. She interrupts him, and he interrupts her again. At last, Anna disdains to make a judgment, which blocks Jacob's chest. He stands up, picks up his mobile phone, wants to say something, but finds that whatever he says is wrong.

He hung his shoulders, spread out his hands, and stood face to face with Anna. "Don't check my phone any more..." he looked into Anna's eyes, but he couldn't hold on. Then he dropped his eyes, looked up and breathed out a long breath. He sat down in the chair opposite Anna again, and the exhaustion seemed to be unable to support for a second, "It's just... I mean..." every time he opens his mouth, he wants to talk and stops, fearing that he will say something inappropriate. Finally, he can only give up and put down his hands. "That will only make you more and more suspicious."

"Then why didn't you tell me..." but Anna didn't want to give up easily. She continued, "do you still have feelings between you and her?"

"There is no feeling between me and her!" Jacob was tired of explaining at last, and his anger broke through his throat.

"There's a feeling between you and her!" Anna also raised her voice and went back without any concession.

"No! There's no feeling at all! " Jacob clenched his teeth and squeezed his voice out word by word.

"Yes!" Anna went back by bumping the wall, even ignoring Jacob's excuse that "she works with me" and directly accused, "I read your message!"

"She! You Jacob's words are stuck in his throat. He grinds his teeth and yells angrily, "you shouldn't read my messages!"

"Don't shout! Don't shout Anna pressed her left hand to silence Jacob.

Jacob raised his right hand and covered his forehead. He rubbed his temples with his thumb and index finger. His voice calmed down again. He said softly, "you shouldn't read my messages."

But Anna changed the subject. "Why are you yelling at me?"

"Sorry, I roared just now." Jacob closed his eyes and apologized.

"Don't get mad at me." Anna continued, "if you keep yelling, everyone else will be attracted."

Looking at Anna in front of him, Jacob just felt weird, really weird. He shook his head helplessly, put the red wine on the table, and refused to continue the conversation.

But Anna was also angered by Jacob's indifference. "It's important if someone else comes." With that, Anna turns her back to Jacob in disappointment.

This time, it was Jacob's turn to be angry. He widened his eyes and looked at Anna's back. "Who will come? Simon His voice rose again uncontrollably, but this time, waiting for him was silence, a dead silence.

"Card!"

Drake's voice interrupts the tension in the air. Both lenley and felicity don't move. The play is not over yet, but Drake shouts a pause, which means there is something wrong with their performance.

Sure enough, Drake stepped forward, organized his thoughts, and then said, "Jacob, your anger is not enough." His voice has a thick nasal sound, and even some big tongue. However, everyone is used to it. "The sudden anger is still lacking in strength. I don't think you are devoted enough today. I need more, more! "

"Anna, your emotional contrast is not obvious enough." Along with this period of shooting, Drake also gradually entered the state, the two actors are called the name of the play“ You're not in the right state today. You're questioning Jacob, not only because there's something to doubt, but also because you're upset and tired. Compared with Jacob, your mood is so weak that I can't feel it. The balance of the play has been completely robbed by Jacob. I need you to wake up! "

Drake looked at felicity and then at Langley. His voice was very hoarse. "I know it's very difficult to shoot this scene. Do you need to rest and adjust?"

Lanli shrugged his shoulders and didn't speak. The picture of exhaustion to extreme irritability continued from the film to life; Felicity bowed her head, said nothing and refused any communication. Drake stood by, looking helpless, and then took a deep breath, "OK, one minute, we'll shoot again in a minute!"

Today's play is really crucial. It's a critical point, the critical point of Anna and Jacob's love relationship.

Anna and Jacob got married, and then Jacob kept going back and forth between London and Los Angeles. They had been communicating and appealing with the U.S. Embassy in London, hoping to obtain a visa for Anna and that the two people could freely travel back and forth between the two countries. As for where to settle down in the future, we will discuss it after we get the visa.

However, things didn't go well. After two years, they still didn't solve the problem.

This time, the two were rejected by the embassy, but after a long time of efforts, there was no dawn, which made them both tired. Sitting in Anna's apartment, the two began to fall into a quarrel.

Sam texted Jacob about his work and said, "I miss you. When can you come back to Los Angeles?" Jacob didn't respond to Sam, just talking about work. But Jacob's absent-minded performance makes Anna suspicious, so she peeks at Jacob's message, which leads to the above quarrel.

But in fact, Anna is full of holes. When Jacob questioned the relationship between Anna and Simon, whether they had already made the bed, Anna could not answer. This puts two people in a dead circle:

Are their efforts still meaningful? They all have their own lives. Their unremitting efforts are always rejected. Is it meaningful to toss back and forth like this? How much love is left between them? Or to be more precise, what are they pestering each other for? Between Anna and Simon, between Jacob and Sam. what is that? Is it love? Or company?

This is a critical point, two people are struggling to maintain their relationship, but this relationship has been in danger.
