The Prodigy Boy Is Actually A 25 Old Girl!?

Jacob frowned disapprovingly at Nick's last sentence. What did he mean he lost Kaylee because of his own fault? Is this guy looking for a fight at him?

"Are you done talking? I don't want to talk to you." Jacob turned to go to Kaylee instead of attending to the ridiculous behavior of the prodigy boy.

"You don't love her, Jack. I've met many lads like you who approach her."

Jacob's steps stopped when he heard Nick's provocation word.

"I love her."

"No, you don't. Yes, you might like her, but it was only a crush on someone you admire. You don't actually love her."

Jacob turned again to face Nick without subduing his hostile gaze. This guy knew nothing and yet pretended to be able to understand his feeling. Who this guy think he is?

"Don't meddle too much with my personal affairs. You don't know me. Don't ever act like you understand me."

Nicholas was silent for a moment hearing this. His eyes narrowed to probe Jacob's now flat expression looking at him.

He tried to digest the boy's last sentence and began to wonder, did Jacob know it?

Nick remembered that Kaylee had said that the only friend she had been closest to and understood since she entered this college was Jacob. If someone had known Kaylee for a long time, no matter whether Kaylee disguised herself as Nick or not, the people who knew Kaylee best would surely notice the difference.

Even so, Nick continued to act like he didn't realize that Jacob already knew about it and decided just to be himself.

"Right. I may not know you, but I know very well that your feelings for her are not as great as… Mister Black."

Jacob didn't understand why Nick seemed hesitant to continue his sentence before the young man finally said his uncle's name.

"If you truly love her, you'll try to keep courting her like there's no tomorrow instead of relying on someone else to pave the way for you," said Nick firmly as he stepped closer to Jacob's standing position. "If you genuinely love her, you will never vent your selfishness on her."

Jacob was glued to his spot and couldn't deny the young man's words which emitted a dangerous aura like a dog ready to pounce anyone who hurt its master.

"And if you indeed love her, your heart, your mind, and even your whole body would always think of her and long for her. Now I have a quick question for you. Have you ever felt like what I just said?"

"…"

"The fact that you relied on my help and waited for me to pave the way for you already proves that you're not a man enough to get her. You doubted in action and too confident that she will be yours at the end of the day. You don't deserve to be with her. That's why you lost her."

Nick's speeches were like a knife thrust through the other guy's heart, and Jacob realized his mistake.

Jacob should have chased Kaylee more vigorously and tried to find her without waiting for Nick. Jacob was a normal young man like other lads his age. He was attracted to beautiful girls and wished to spend a long time and date the girl.

When he first met Roe at a piano competition, Jacob was attracted to the girl. Of course, because Roe was lovely and elegant. But come to think of it… he was more attracted to her because Roe had the same habits and allergies as Nick.

Jacob was curious, and without realizing it, he allowed his curiosity to become an attraction to the girl.

He was happy and enthusiastic when he met Roe, but as soon as he returned home… Jacob didn't think about it anymore and was busy with his online game. Nevertheless, Jacob truly liked Kaylee and was heartbroken when he heard the girl's engagement with his uncle.

Yes, he had a broken heart, but miraculously Jacob wasn't too sad about it. Unfortunately, he instead vents his broken heart by antagonizing Nick.

He knew it wasn't entirely Nick's fault because Jacob had never really pursued Kaylee. It wasn't that he didn't want to pursue her earnestly, but he didn't have the courage to face her rejection.

Jacob had expressed his feelings for Kaylee impulsively, and he could feel her subtle resistance. At the time, Jacob regretted it for rushing to say it, but that was the greatest mistake he'd made.

He shouldn't have given up. Nick was right. He was not a man enough to pursue Kaylee.

He vented his pain by antagonizing Nick. At the same time, he discharged his anger towards Nick by hurting Kaylee's feelings.

What a jerk he was.

Jacob's lips curled upward slowly before giving a light chuckle in amusement, earning a confused frown from Nick.

Is there anything funny about his words?

"This is the first time you gave me an earful scolding. Based on your experience?"

"Not mine. It belongs to some guy I know."

"So you had no feeling towards her?"

"..." Nick didn't answer right away. "Whether I have feelings for her or not is none of your business. Even if I did love her, I would never hurt her like you did this evening."

Jacob gave a regretful smile then glanced at where Kaylee was still standing where she was looking at her phone.

"You were right. I don't deserve her. She is too good for me."

"I think it's because she was not the one for you." even though Nick had only become close to Jacob for the past two days, Nick instantly understood what Jacob's true nature was like.

Jacob just needs to meet the right girl for him. When that time came, Nick was sure that Jacob wouldn't relax until he let someone else grab the girl first.

"Let's go back. I need to pack my broken 'baby.' Hu Hu Hu."

Jacob laughed, amused at Nick's ridiculous expression and his movements that wiped his imaginary tears. This kid acts like a fierce protector when they talk about Kaylee, but his puppy demeanor returns the next second.

"You go first. I'll talk to her. Don't worry. I know my mistake, and I won't do it again." Jacob said so confidently as soon as he noticed the disapproving frown on Nick's forehead.

"Alright, then. If you make her cry again, I will beat you to death." joked Nick, but the threat was valid.

"Roger that."
