Chapter 160 To See My Mother Happy 1

After a few more days Jake began his training to run the marathon, in the first week he intended to run 10 km and then increase 10 km after each week, so after a month he would be ready to run a marathon.

The system said that Jake could run up to 50 km with his current resistance statistic, but the speed would be less than average to run a marathon with chances to win.

With that Jake figured he could run fast enough to win for 30 km, so he would need to use a stamina bar and could finish the marathon with energy after all his problem was that his muscles could not withstand the distance and intensity of the race.

If he ran for 50 km at medium speed then his muscles would have to be able to run for 45 km at a slightly higher speed, so first, he could put his body in a position to withstand the intensity of the race and the great distance.

As he wanted to do this correctly he asked the school to open the athletic field for him to run on the track, Jake thought it might be harder to do the 50 km on a track that was circular so he had to make turns than on the normal road.

As Jake was the star of the basketball team and the school president liked him they allowed him to use the track for 5 hours the day the athletic team was not using the track.

On the first day of training as he was not running in a hurry he made the 10 km in 50 minutes after he finished training he did not feel too tired and felt he could run for longer and faster.

But he decided that it was better to increase his stamina by the few, so on the second day of training he managed to run in 45 minutes the 10 km, he felt he could intensify and on the third day he did in 40 minutes the 10 km.

With that time he began to feel more tired, on the fourth day he did in 35 minutes the 10 km so he felt that he was very tired, as the training was not for only 10 km but for a marathon he felt that this intensity was enough.

So when he finished the 7 days he could easily make the 10 km in 35 minutes, he felt that if he wanted he could improve, but it was time to move on to the 20 km race day.

On the first day he decreased the intensity of the race and made in 80 minutes the 20 km, he felt a little tired more thought he could intensify so he ran the 20 km in 70 minutes on the second day, this time he became much more tired.

So Jake decided that this training was intense enough so that the 7 days he could easily make the 20 km in 70 minutes, Jake was satisfied that it was so because he still did not need any stamina bar with that distance and at that speed.

This showed that his body was much tougher than in the past, but he could not continue with this training for now because another day would be the false opening of the restaurant and would also be the day when he would tell that this restaurant was Eva’s, so he needed to talk to Anna better today.

As Jake needed to train and did not want his mother to suspect that he was doing anything while he was training in those two weeks Anna was doing her part in the plan this week.

Jake felt Eva was a little strange at home this week, but she did not tell him why she was like this, Jake figured it had something to do with their plan, but Jake held it today to go to Anna’s house to see what was happening.

When Jake got to Anna’s house she opened the door and looked tired, not weeks ago, so Jake was sure it had something to do with her mother this week.

"Has anything happened in those weeks, Anna? Something went wrong with our plan?"

"While nothing has happened to the plan, I can tell you it was better than I expected, but I suffered a lot this week to make it work."

"Did you suffer? What do you mean by that?"

So Anna started to tell what happened this week, according to their plan. Anna would take Eva to the restaurant and say she would have been working in that bout in a few months, so she would invite Eva into the fake restaurant opening where Jake would say that The owner of the restaurant was actually Eva.

But before Anna started with the plan she had to improvise, this was because as the day when she would have to start working in the restaurant was near Anna had to end the cooking classes.

Besides some people Anna planned to invite to work in the restaurant she was not very close to anyone other than Eva, and it was the same with Eva.

But that’s when the problem began, some of the women who were taking the course told Eva that the course would close, Anna had not said anything to Eva yet because she would personally go to her house to start with the plan.

So Eva who loved the course was anxious and went to Anna’s house to ask about it personally so Anna decided to start with the plan ahead of time and said she would start working again in a restaurant and that she would talk to Eva in person and even taking her to know where Anna would work.

When Eva knew that Anna would start working at a restaurant was when she started getting weird at home was what Jake was thinking, so Anna took Eve to the restaurant and showed her everything, and so said the restaurant would open in a few weeks and that Eve was invited to appear on opening day.

Until then Anna and Jake’s plan was perfect, but Eva, besides saying that she was going to say something neither of them expected, she asked Anna to talk to the owner of the restaurant to give her some work.

It seemed like Jake said and Eva is very willing to work after Jake got older, but Eva knew that Jake would not let her work in a place to earn a little, so Eva decided to ask Anna to work with her, Eva could give the excuse to Jake that she wanted to work with Anna.

Since this was out of their plans, Anna did not know what to say, but she could not say not because Eva was very hopeful about getting this job, so the only thing Anna could say was that she would talk to the owner on opening day and introduce Eva to the owner.

So Eva agreed to go on opening day, but she was a bit sad because she thought it was as if Anna had indirectly rejected her, so Jake understood why Anna and Eva were strange this week.

Even though the plan worked Jake was sad to know that his mother was so anxious to work and was avoiding talking about it with him, Jake only wanted to take Eva from the other job because she knew Eva was suffering, but if it was a good work he would approve even if the salary was low to see his mother happy.

After all, what Jake has been doing is to see his mother happy and not being selfish, he was sad because it seemed that Eva still did not want to say everything she thought about him, that’s how she died in the past life and Jake thought who had changed that being closer to her.

But it seemed like nothing had changed yet, it showed that it had been a wise decision for Jake to ask Anna to keep an eye on Eva when he was not around, otherwise he would still be unaware of many things.

Anna was also sorry for Eva and with even more pity for Jake that she knew she wanted Eva to talk to him more, so Anna stopped talking to comfort Jake a little, she felt even more of the family, it was just like Eva was his shy daughter and Jake was his grandson who suffered from his mother who did not know how to be honest.

Soon after Jake recovered after being comforted, at least the plan had worked and thanks to Anna he could know more about what his mother thought the same way, so after a few days at the opening of the restaurant Eva would know of his gift.

After a few days, Jake told Eva that he had talked to Anna and was also invited to open the restaurant, so he called Eva to buy some clothes at the mall, Eva did not think necessary because Jake had taken her to buy some clothes in the year past.

But Jake had only bought some clothes for parties and formal dinners, he thought that the clothes for an opening would have to be different, especially when the clothes were for the owner of the restaurant.

Jake also grabbed some social clothes for that opening, he did not want to wear a suit at the opening of his mother’s restaurant, so he thought it would be good to pick a new outfit for that special day.

After they returned home together, after dinner Jake returned to his room and Eve also went to sleep, after all the other day would be the opening of her friend’s restaurant.

Jake can tell that Eve was distracted all day, he was a bit sad because she did not tell him anything about having applied for a job at the restaurant that Anna would work, it shows that she did not trust him much, but he found that this proved to be a good idea to open this restaurant even if it was hidden from it.
