Trapped I can't escape from the Billionaire
Chapter 146

Letta immediately turned to face someone who was now patting her shoulder. After that, she fell silent when she saw a man smiling and looking at her.

"Hi, long time no see. How are you?" the man asked, leaving Letta speechless before furrowing her brow. Is he one of the friends I forgot, Letta thought, now only able to smile awkwardly.

"Yeah, I'm fine," Letta replied, trying to adjust to the situation and his question. Letta also didn't know whether the person was really someone she knew before or not, because Marco had once said that there were many people around them who might have ill intentions toward her and Marco. That made Letta realize that she seemed to have been out for too long, and she also didn't know how far the distance was from her current location to the hotel.

"Thankfully, I also see you in good condition right now. I didn't know if you were pregnant too. That's happy news, but why didn't Marco ever tell our family?" Jacob said, examining every expression that Letta displayed. "Maybe they just haven't told yet," Letta replied, making Jacob walk closer, causing Letta to blink.

"Really? Well, it seems my cousin wants to hide his good news for himself. He's very selfish," Jacob whispered in Letta's ear, leaving her silent. It turned out that the man in front of her was Marco's cousin, Letta thought, feeling less afraid because this was still part of Marco's family, she thought.

"Not really. Don't misunderstand Marco. Maybe he's just busy. Oh yeah, who are you here with?" Letta asked with her friendly tone that was starting to feel less awkward, because Letta's thought was that Jacob was someone she didn't need to fear, although on the contrary, if Letta remembered, Jacob was someone she should avoid, and it was also evident from Jacob, who was now looking at Letta with raised eyebrows. Of course, his response now was very different from what he had shown before, where now Letta smiled broadly when looking at him. There was no expression of discomfort, making Jacob feel even more that this was a very interesting game, he thought.

"No, I'm alone. I happen to be in this country to oversee a project because your husband easily kicked me out of the project that I was supposed to handle," Jacob said, making Letta widen her eyes.

"Really? Isn't that very cruel of him to do to his own cousin? Don't worry, maybe Marco is just being sensitive," Letta said, patting Jacob's shoulder, making Jacob fall silent for a moment before finally laughing.

"Well, this is a very interesting encounter. What are you doing here? Where are your guards?" Jacob asked, making Letta shake her head.

"I'm just strolling alone, no guards are following me," Letta replied, making Jacob feel something was amiss, because as far as Jacob knew, Marco would never let his wife wander around in a crowded place like this alone, especially in a country that was very dangerous for her.

"Are you sure there are no guards following you?" Jacob asked again, making sure, as Letta nodded her head.

"Yes, I'm sure. You relax, and of course, I know someone in this place, so I don't feel too lonely," Letta said, making Jacob smile as he approached. Didn't the last time they met, Letta always say to stay away from him? But now, what she was showing, Jacob thought, nodding his head.

"That's good, so we can spend our afternoon here. You relax, I will contact Marco later and tell him that you are with me, so he won't worry," Jacob said, making Letta nod enthusiastically.

"Yes, that's a good idea. He won't be angry, right, if I stroll around with his cousin?" Letta said, making Jacob smile once again.

"Alright, so where should we go?" Jacob asked, looking around at the crowd.

"There's actually a food I wanted to try, but I forgot to bring anything," Letta said with her awkward smile, making Jacob reply with his typical smile.

"So you're asking your cousin to treat you today?" Jacob asked again, making Letta shake her head.

"No, no. I just want to ask for your help. Maybe you can lend me some money. I promise, after I meet Marco, I'll pay you back," Letta said, making Jacob burst into laughter.

"What kind of exhibition is this? There are only simple foods here that won't cost me too much. You can choose whatever you like, and I'll pay for it," Jacob said, making Letta look at him with sparkling eyes. "Are you really okay if I choose whatever I want?" Letta asked, making Jacob nod his head.

"Yes, just pick whatever you like, and I'll just follow you," Jacob said, making Letta finally step forward, followed by Jacob who was only looking at her small back. It was noticeable how Letta showed her smile without any doubt, making Jacob even more curious. Actually, what happened to his cousin's wife? Could she have forgotten the last time they met, Jacob thought, now becoming curious about Letta's condition, or maybe it was because of her pregnancy hormones, Jacob thought again, ultimately choosing to follow every step interspersed with some conversations between them, seeing amusement park rides, looking at some paintings, until they didn't realize that the sky was getting darker. It was as if they were enjoying their time together without any fear, and that only made Jacob more curious.

"Aren't you afraid of me?" Jacob asked, finally throwing the question that had piqued his curiosity, making Letta stop her hand that was spooning ice cream into her mouth.

"Why should I be afraid? You're not a criminal, are you?" Letta asked, making Jacob look at her with raised eyebrows.

"Well, I'm not a criminal, but I could still do something bad to you," Jacob said again, making Letta nod her head again.

"You couldn't possibly do anything bad to your own cousin's wife, could you? Come on, don't scare me. Besides, you've been giving me what I want since earlier. You're a very kind cousin," Letta said again, making Jacob just smile thinly as he looked at her.

"Yes, I am a kind-hearted cousin, but unfortunately, your husband never looks at me with a kind gaze. In his mind, I'm just a cousin who always bothers him. I don't know, even though I have a heart of an angel," Jacob said, making Letta nod her head.

"Yes, you're right. You're very kind, but why doesn't Marco like you? Next time, I'll ask him and also tell him that he's just being suspicious of you. You relax, your relationship will surely improve," Letta said, still busy with her ice cream, making Jacob fall silent. Jacob wanted to see for himself how Marco's expression would be when Letta said that his wife spent time with him. It would definitely be very interesting, Jacob thought, until finally, Jacob looked at some people wearing black clothes in the crowd. Jacob seemed to know that these people were synonymous with Marco's guards. They seemed very busy inspecting everyone.

"Alright, in that case, I should also leave now because I've been getting calls. You can go back to your hotel by yourself, right?" Jacob said, realizing that he had to get away from Letta.

"Yes, of course. It's not far, right? Thank you for today," Letta said with a big smile, making Jacob finally step closer. After that, he quickly kissed Letta's cheek, leaving her speechless as she watched Jacob smile and wave his hand as he walked away.
