[quote=Sixsmith] He weighed his options."Lifelong happiness doing what you love, find a love I would die for, and be able to say I lived the best life I possibly could when I die? Or become the jaded, non-feeling corporate body that my father was. Get married, have a lot of children. Be disappointed in all of them because they can't live up to faulty expectations. Not even care about the person he married. And die unhappily with no heir to take over the family business?"I think it's obvious what he favored more over the other. [/quote] Allow me to reiterate: "He's awesome. Nothing further." [quote=Mizuho] Hmmm... True, there's bad rumors about the lovely father. But none about Yuki specifically! A scandal like that would ruin her forever, and the prospects of making money.And Acacia respects him for it, don't worry XD [/quote] Call it paranoia. Trust me, you'll all see in due time why Jacob is paranoid and twitchy. He just needs a friend/lover to vent to.
