Chapter 1782
Jacob took the cat back to his bedroom.
He got two glasses of water, then walked back to the living room, set the water in front of Rosalynn, and sat across
from her. “Did Paige have the baby?”
“Uh huh.” Rosalynn nodded, “She had a really cute baby girl.”
“Congrats.” Jacob nodded, took a sip of water, Was Erica there too?”
“Uh huh.” Rosalynn nodded again, “What about you? How are you feeling now?”
Jacob forced a bitter smile, looking up at Rosalynn, What do you think?”
They say time heals all wounds.
Jacob used to comfort Wayne with the same words.
But when it was his turn, he realized that time is not a healer, but a slow poison that erodes him.

Jacob frowned.
He was going to ask if Erica sent Rosalynn to see him.
But now, he doesn’t need to ask anymore.
“Shawn is losing it, he’s been coming to me and Wayne for days. Rosalynn looked at Jacob, “Jacob, what are you
thinking? You’ve cut off ties with Erica, are you going to fall out with your friends too?”
“You don’t need to worry about this,” Jacob finished his water, put down the glass, “You mind your own business, I’ll
handle mine.”
With that, Jacob planned to head back to his room.
Rosalynn sighed, looking at Jacob’s thin and decadent back, “Jacob, have you considered how many people you’re
going to piss off doing this? If you don’t care about your future, what about the Strand family?”
Jacob didn’t stop.
Rosalynn raised her voice, asking again, “What about Erica?”
Jacob finally stopped, turning around, “What does this have to do with Erica?”
“You’re a member of the Strand family. No matter what you do, you have the powerful Strand family supporting
and protecting you, but Erica doesn’t!” Rosalynn frowned, “You’re cornering so many people, even if Erica didn’t do
anything, people are saying you’ve gone mad for her. They might not dare to hurt you, but can they resist hurting
Erica?”
“They wouldn’t dare!” Jacob’s brows furrowed.
“Not openly, but what about behind the scenes?” Rosalynn stared at Jacob, “Car accidents, unexpected incidents…
If Erica goes overseas, it only takes a few hundred dollars to buy off a small gang and stage a fight where Erica is
present!”

“It’s not too late to cut your losses.” Rosalynn advised earnestly. “Jacob, everyone else is moving forward, you

1 can’t let go!” Jacob shouted in anger.
“Most of the time since I’ve had memories, I’ve been with Erica, many of my habits were formed because of her,
how could I possibly let go?” Jacob’s eyes were full of anger and confusion.
“So you’re going to dwell on the past, are you going to live like this, holding onto the past for the rest of your life?”
Rosalynn countered, “Look at you now, it’s as if Erica has coldly neglected you for a decade, then abandoned you,
do you find yourself ridiculous?”
During this time, including Jacob’s parents, everyone around him was walking on eggshells, no one dared to
reprimand Jacob like Rosalynn did.
Jacob anxiously rubbed his hair, his breathing became rapid, forcing him to stop and take a deep breath.
After a while, he looked at Rosalynn, “I know I was wrong…
“Jacob, it’s not about right or wrong anymore “Rosalynn’s voice softened a bit.
Jacob covered his face with his hands, unable to hold back his tears
He felt like a person with a split personality, constantly telling himself to accept the reality that Erica no longer loved
him.
