Chapter 1793
“I’m simply letting go of some responsibilities I don’t enjoy and taking care of a few things that have been on my mind,” Jacob said, while gently stroking the kitten sleeping on his lap. “I’ve booked a flight to the R Country, and starting tomorrow, I’ll embark on a journey around the world. I’m not sure when I’ll be back.”
Jacob’s birthday was in three days.
He wanted to blow out the birthday candle on a beach, the one Erica had hoped to blow out with him eight years ago.
“President Strand…” Kenny looked at Jacob.
“Kenny, when you first came to me, your foolishness made me forget all about my gentlemanly manners. But now, you’re really something, Jacob said, looking at Kenny. “Rosalynn has been trying to poach you for quite some time now. Go to her, make a name for yourself. When I come back from my trip, if I’m broke and homeless, I can always turn to you.”
“Even if you don’t work, your wealth is enough to last you several lifetimes…” Kenny wiped away his tears.
Kenny was born into extreme poverty.
He was born in a poor mountainous area, his father died in a mining disaster before he was born, and his mother, unable to afford postnatal care, passed away a couple of years later due to ill health.
His grandparents, who made a living by making handicrafts, worked hard and saved to raise Kenny.
When Kenny was seven, a mine was discovered near their village.
Half a year later, Kenny met the proud and distinguished Jacob for the first time.
Jacob, in his white shirt and black trousers, stood out among the crowd that day at the village chief’s house.
Kenny had never seen someone so radiant, and he was immediately smitten.
Later, the village chief told the visitors that Kenny’s parents had passed away, his grandparents were seriously ill, and he was a good student but couldn’t afford the tuition fees.
Later, Jacob sponsored Kenny’s education.
Kenny moved from the muddy mountain trails to the bustling city, to Jacob’s side.
To him, Jacob was like family.
“Who knows? Maybe I’ll get to a prairie, see some cute animals, and impulsively donate all my money to an animal protection organization,” Jacob said with a light laugh.
“That’s something Miss Erica would do, not you,” Kenny muttered.
Jacob’s smile faded slightly.
“See, you know Erica better than I do.”
In Erica’s travel plans, she actually wrote, “Remind Jacob to supervise me before I set off, so I won’t donate all my money to an animal protection organization when I see cute animals!!”
Jacob remembered that around that date, Erica’s photographer wrote in an article that Erica had just donated all her assets and had a rough couple of months.
“President Strand…” Kenny looked at Jacob with mixed feelings.
“Don’t pity me,” Jacob warned.
Kenny lowered his gaze and didn’t respond. He pointed to the third document, “What about this one?”
Kenny was still a bit nervous because the first two documents had shocked him.
This third one…
“These are a few standing order authorizations.”
“You want to make regular transfers to Miss Erica?” Kenny asked in surprise. “President Strand, you might need to reconsider, Miss Erica might not like
this!”
Kenny didn’t interact with Erica often, but it wasn’t infrequent either.
Erica seemed easygoing, but she had strong principles when it came to certain things.
So sometimes, Kenny would describe Erica as a rational lover.
“This isn’t for her,” Jacob’s eyes dimmed a bit. “This is for Wayne and Rosalynn’s two kids, and a few kids at home whom I’m quite fond of. On their birthdays, Children’s Day, and Christmas, I’ll send them some gifts.”
