Chapter 161 To See My Mother Happy 2
Jake was thinking that even if his mother was angry that he had made a restaurant without having talked to her before, he could tell she had asked for a new job without talking to him before too, so she could not be too angry with him.
Jake was thinking that this year he would use his second job more, so he was curious if his stats increased in those months that he cannot check.
"Fate, show me my statistics window for my second job."

Looking at it, Jake saw that many of his stats increased a lot when he did not see it, but his Policy did not increase much, he remembered that when his statistics were in the single-digit they increased a lot in a year other than Policy.
But he thought this was normal as well because unlike physical statistics he would not know how to increase these statistics, maybe if he did several businesses in the next few years these statistics would naturally increase.
After seeing this Jake decided to sleep because the next day would be quite hectic.
Jake woke up early the other day when he came down Eva was preparing breakfast a little distracted, Jake could guess what she was thinking, but he knew that would change after today.
After breakfast they packed up and went to the place where Jake prepared the restaurant, when they got there they found several people, Eva thought this was normal, only Jake thought she was so nervous she did not even realize that this new restaurant did not have a sign yet.
The people who were here were the people Anna hired for the restaurant, then everyone went into the restaurant, everything was set up and prepared as if they were to open today, everyone received gla.s.ses of champagne and toasted.
So the employees went inside as they smiled and chatted, Jake and Anna thought Eva was too distracted by not realizing anything strange so far, after all, there was no way a restaurant opening was like that and with no opening speech.
In a moment only Jake, Eva, and Anna were in the hall, so Eva could not take it anymore and decided to talk to Anna even though Jake was nearby.
"Anna, who"s the owner you said you"d be here?"
"She"s already here," Anna said as she tried to hold back the laughter over Eva"s question.
"Did you tell her about what I asked you before?"
"I"ll leave that decision to you."
Seeing that Anna was happy while playing with Eva who was more nervous Jake decided to end this surprise and tell his mother soon before she had an attack.
"What did you think of this mother restaurant?"
"I found it very beautiful, it had to be that way for Anna to agree to work here."
"Does it look like the restaurant you dreamed about?"
"I think it"s even better than I thought, I dreamed of something simpler ... Wait! How do you know I dreamed of having a restaurant? I did not tell anyone that."
"Secrets are never kept forever mother, like the fact that you want to get back to work."
Seeing this she was shocked, Eva thought that Jake never knew many of her secrets, it seems she tried to hide all this for nothing when she learned that Jake discovered Eva was a bit ashamed of it.
"If you wanted to work you could have told me that, Mom, I think your happiness is the most important thing, even if the work did not pay well or it was tiring, the important thing is that you were happy."
"I wanted you out of that restaurant because it felt like you did not like it there and was not happily working there if you"re happy I"m happy too."
It was supposed to be something exciting for Eva, but she was so embarra.s.sed to have her secrets discovered and also to know that she was thinking about too many things being that her son was so understanding.
Anna was the only one excited to see all this, she thought again that Eva was so lucky to have a son like Jake, in her family instead of winning a restaurant she had until she close what she built with so much effort, in addition, her son did not understand what she felt and even left her alone.
Even if it was not bad envy and only one thought was normal when it made so much difference in situations that had similar situations.
"This restaurant is now your mother, it"s my gift to you, and you can not be angry at me, consider compensation for hiding so many things from me all those years."
Eva was shocked again by this situation, so this restaurant was hers? It was the restaurant she had always dreamed of, but she thought it strange that she only knew it when it was ready.
If it was someone else she might suspect this was a lie, but Eva was accustomed to Jake making several plans just to give her a gift, moreover, she knew better than anyone how much Jake earned from sponsors.h.i.+p per year, should give to buy more than 4 restaurants like this.
So Eva had to accept this gift, she did not even think of rejecting it as Jake thought she would, maybe if it had not been bought or remodeled she might deny it, but after everything was ready she knew it was impossible, moreover, she could work where she wanted it now and could have more freedom.
It was like Jake had thought before, after all this time knowing that the son made so much money to be well for a lifetime, Eva no longer thought it was a waste to spend money on anything, especially because she knew that the child could be more responsible than she is to the money.
"So it"s a lie that Anna was working here?"
"No, that"s true, she and all the people you saw in this false opening will work with you, I asked Anna to help you with this restaurant and it was she who chose those people, but if you want to dismiss someone the restaurant is your."
Eva was very happy to know that she could work with Anna as she wanted, and if it was Anna who had hired these people Eva trusted her friend, moreover, without Anna she knew that nothing could go right in the restaurant in the first few months, it seems Jake had thought of everything.
"So when can the restaurant really be open?"
"This will depend on you, mother, you have to choose the name of the restaurant, with what kind of dishes and public the restaurant will work, hire the necessary people, find the suppliers, make the menu of the restaurant, make a facade for the restaurant and then do some advertising to be able to open it."
Eva realized that Jake had left all the important decisions so she could take, even if she knew nothing about restaurants, Anna could help with all the things she did not know, even though she knew Jake did not care about it she did not I wanted the restaurant to do no harm.
After all this Eva knew the people who would work in the restaurant and then everyone went home, Eva had agreed that she would discuss with Anna about all the things that were missing, in fact, Eva"s dream was just to have a small restaurant.
So she could tell that her dream was already fulfilled, of course, she wanted to see the restaurant full of people every day and also cook in her restaurant, but these things could be easily accomplished, now she had just to think about what the restaurant needed so he could at least keep up without Jake needing to put more money.
After they got home Eva can calm down and finally can think of what the son had done for her to open this restaurant and fulfill her dream, she heard from Anna that Jake had solved everything herself and she only helped after the restaurant was retired.
So after she finished dinner with Jake she got up and gave her son a hug, after a while, she even got emotional and started crying, after so many years she was already getting used to the way Jake treated her until she forgot how good a son she had.
Eva did not know that at first Jake did all these things because she had seen her suffer and end up dying in her past life, but even if she knew she would know that if the same situation happened to thousands of different people, no one would do the same things that Jake did for her.
In addition, Jake never stopped trying to make his mother happy even after 6 years had pa.s.sed since he returned, and it did not look like Jake would stop trying to make Eva happy for the rest of his life.
After that Jake went to his room to prepare to sleep and face the next day he had been very happy that everything went well and his mother had been happy, he also thought that this restaurant could make that in addition to Eva a lot more happy people.
Besides Anna, who was Jake"s main concern after his mother, he thought that everyone who works at this restaurant would be very happy since Eva and Anna were very kind people and with Jake financing the restaurant it was certain that they could never go wrong.
Even though he understood a lot of cooking and cooked so well, Jake was not planning to get involved in the restaurant"s decisions, so he would just wait to know what kind of restaurant it would be when he went there after little more than a month.
So Jake could re-worry about his training over the next few weeks, he just had to worry about training for the marathon because he could keep up the good shape in basketball.
Then he could just do his weight training to increase his strength.
