Young Master Vance Has An Enchanting Wife!-Chapter 169: A Woman Who’s Hard on the Outside but Soft on the Inside

How could Vincent Vance wish for someone to die? The horror of that subordinate being devoured by the Poisonous Insect that night remains vivid in his mind.

But May Morgan is carrying his child in her womb, and his child is also a life. If it weren’t absolutely necessary, he truly doesn’t want to give up this chance.

"Let me think about it a bit more. If it really doesn’t work out, we’ll have to find a way for May to terminate the pregnancy, but..."

Vincent suddenly looked up at Jacob Jennings in anguish. The reluctance in his eyes pierced the heart, making anyone feel too pained to persuade him further. 𝕗𝐫𝚎𝗲𝘄𝐞𝕓𝐧𝕠𝘃𝕖𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝚖

"But the child in May’s belly, I’ve longed for and hoped for. How could I just give up like this? Jacob, you don’t have a woman you love yet. One day, when you do, you might not persuade me to give up my child so lightly."

After finishing his words, Vincent couldn’t help but take a big swig of beer. Seeing him like this, Jacob felt his heart soften a bit and decided not to persuade him anymore.

"I’m sorry, young master. It’s my fault. As for that woman, I’ll do my best to find her for you." Jacob quickly grabbed a can of beer, clinked it with Vincent’s, and then downed it as well.

"No need, don’t bother with that woman for now. We can’t fight her anyway. The priority is to find a way to remove the Dragon Insect from May’s body."

Vincent didn’t want to bother that woman for now. After all, she was too powerful. Even if he found her, he might not have a chance against her. Besides, didn’t that family on the mountain say? That woman is about casting spells, not removing them. To remove them, we must find a person on Mount Caelus.

Thinking of these things, Vincent said to Jacob once more, "Tomorrow, you must personally go to Crestwood and surely ask that farmer for help. He’s been to Mount Caelus once; he should know the specific location. Be fully prepared with everything you need this time and find that person on the mountain to help lift the curse from May."

After Vincent finished speaking, he carefully instructed him again, "The piece of Fragrant Bone Wood I gave you can ward off the Poisonous Insect. I’ve tested it, and it’s very effective. Keep it on you, and if you’re really in danger, this thing can save your life."

Jacob nodded silently and answered seriously, "Okay, get some rest tonight. I’ll contact Director Lawson first thing in the morning and then head over to Crestwood."

Vincent also knew how dangerous the place was and realized that asking Jacob to go there repeatedly was quite demanding. He sighed softly and suddenly embraced Jacob gently, "Sorry for putting you in danger again."

Jacob smiled faintly, showing a casual demeanor, "You flatters young master. I said long ago, my life is yours. Naturally, anything I have is yours, and serving you is my honor."

"I know I’m being a bit selfish. I should go personally, seeing as it’s about my wife and child’s lives, but I’m scared. I’m afraid if I leave, things will get worse with my grandfather. Yet if we don’t find Mount Caelus, until the last moment, I really don’t want to give up the child. Can you understand my predicament?"

"I can. Although I don’t have a woman or a child, I can understand your difficulty. The young master is someone who values relationships, so I can understand."

Having been with Vincent for so many years, Jacob knew Vincent too well. He appeared cold-blooded, but once he developed true feelings, he was so resolute that it was admirable. He didn’t want to easily give up the child in May’s belly because of his love for her, right?

If a man doesn’t deeply love a woman, why would he cherish the child she bears?

The two of them sat on the balcony, drank several cans of beer, and due to exhaustion, Vincent didn’t go back but stayed over at Jacob’s place for the night.

Since Vincent was the master, Jacob had to give up his bedroom, leaving himself to sleep on the sofa.

In the middle of the night, he suddenly received a message, surprisingly from May.

"Jacob, is it true Vincent isn’t coming back tonight?" May asked, sounding unsatisfied.

It had been two hours since she called Jacob. May estimated that this bastard Vincent should be back by now. She waited and waited on the bed, but after a long time, there was no sound at home, which made her very angry.

A quarrel and then staying out all night, Vincent, you’re really something, aren’t you?

Jacob, still somewhat clear-headed, answered her truthfully as she messaged, "The young master is really too tired and slept at my place."

He’s tired? Isn’t she tired too? She didn’t sleep all night, was harassed and threatened—how come she doesn’t shout she’s tired?

"Didn’t he rest at Crestwood Hotel last night? I was nearly kidnapped and went through chaos all night, and I didn’t say I was tired."

"Is that what the young master told you? Then he lied to you. He was also up all night and only flew back at dawn. It’s his luck that he even made it back."

May knew Jacob wouldn’t lie, so she hurriedly asked, "What exactly happened? Was he in trouble?"

So, Jacob, despite his sleepy state, recounted to May the ordeal Vincent went through in Crestwood with the Poisonous Insect. May felt her heart pounding and her face turning pale as she read.

Although she wasn’t there in person, just hearing Jacob’s words made her feel terrified. Thinking about her previous stubborn and unreasonable difficulties with Vincent, May felt particularly ashamed.

"Is... is he okay now?" May asked Jacob, her voice slightly nasal with emotion.

"Of course, he’s fine. Otherwise, how could the young master be standing right before you alive?"

"That’s not what I meant. I was asking, where is he sleeping now? Did you cover him with a blanket? Don’t let him catch a cold at night."

Jacob listened to May’s long-winded queries, which were all about Vincent’s well-being, and could only respond with speechless resignation, "The young master is fine, sleeping in my bed while I’m on the sofa."

"Then... where do you live? I want to go over and keep him company." Feeling increasingly guilty towards Vincent, May got up from bed, intending to go to Jacob’s place in the middle of the night.

Jacob glanced at the night outside and reluctantly advised, "Young madam, you’d better not come. If you genuinely want to apologize, why not make some porridge in the morning and have someone bring it over?"

Mainly because Vincent had already taken over his place, forcing him to sleep on the sofa, which would be fine. But if May comes over to stir things up again in the middle of the night, how will he get any rest?

Remember, he has to drive to Crestwood tomorrow!

This sounded like a good idea to May, who nodded in agreement, "Alright, I’ll have someone send porridge to your place first thing in the morning, tell him to wait."

"OK!"

Finally managing to send May off, Jacob let out a helpless sigh, shut off his phone, and had a good night’s sleep.
