Chapter 279 - 279 Settling

279 Settling

After coming back to City E, the first thing that Jake did was to ask for his parents to help him arrange his marriage. The two people seemed to be injected with chicken blood because they began to excitedly call people here and there as if they couldn’t’ wait to announce the fact that their son would get married.

Lotte’s parents even had to hear from Jake’s mother and they confirmed it with her.

At this moment, Lotte just felt intense embarrassment when she recalled the way her parents talked about it. Her mother kept on reminding her that she had to know how to protect herself and a few dozens more advices.

She began to feel that getting married was such a hassle.

But she also wanted to be with Jake.

Thus, Lotte was in a great dilemma.

“But that’s the truth...” Jake was about to complain but when he saw Lotte’s expression, he decided to wisely shut up. It would be better for him not to irk his girlfriend in fear that she would suddenly lash out to him.

He didn’t want to have a taste of her wind element again.

It was enough that he was beaten up from time to time in the past. He didn’t have the hobby to make Lotte angry all the time.

.....

“Will Dylan also come? I heard that his family is going to make him busy,” Marc remarked from the side.

After they returned to City E yesterday, he had been staying in his room. Dylan’s sister came and brought him away, saying that Dylan will be working in his family’s business for now on.

It seemed that this incident had caused quite the scare.

Without the healing elements, it was indeed very dangerous.

“Don’t worry, he’s not the type to stay holed up in one room all the time. Even if he loved working with computers, he also didn’t want to miss out on the fun.” Jake grinned.

The main reason why the three of them were good friends with each other stemmed from the fact that they were all actually troublemakers. They liked to cause troubles here and there.

While Dylan would not say much, but he himself was also involved in many of Jake and Kyle’s schemes.

The other two aced their lessons while Jake was hovering between passing the line or not.

And after their graduated, they all took different path. But it was clear that Jake was steering away from the academic path and instead took other methods for him to earn money.

Though, it hadn’t been successful so far.

Still, with his easy going personality, he didn’t seem to care that much about his failed business and so on.

It was Lotte who had headache when she watched her boyfriend being like this. But in the end, she just left him be and chose to support him in whatever he wanted to do without having much expectation.

“That’s because Jake never paid any attention to his lessons.” Kyle glanced at Jake and ruthlessly exposed the other party.

Jake chocked.

He didn’t like those lessons, got it?

It was torture for him.

Seeing those lines on the book and everything, he only felt that he was going dizzy and that everything was truly difficult. He didn’t know what he was supposed to do to make these words made sense for him.

In the end, Jake simply gave up.

It was not for him.

He only worked enough to be able to pass the lessons so that he would not be punished by his parents. After that, he went on and played around with the other two boys, who never experienced what he felt.

How could they experience it?

Whatever was thrown to them, they could master it quickly.

It was to the point that Jake was thoroughly confused. Just like how a child was learning how to read and write a sentence. When Jake was still struggling with reading the first word, Dylan and Kyle had already finished rewriting the entire sentence.

He sighed.

Comparison was truly painful.
