He was curious about the person that his brother was hiding from him. He did see some telltale signs that someone was living with him in this apartment. He liked to know why Jacob was keeping that a secret from him.
"We still have an early duty tomorrow. I don't want to disturb my friend. She also needs her sleep." Jacob also placed his hand on top of his, stopping him from twisting the knob.
He just hoped that his brother would not insist on it. Because if he did, he was afraid that Nick might discover what he was hiding from him.
"Just a peek. I won't make a sound." He did not heed his brother's words.
Despite his brother's hand stopping him, he continued to twist the knob open. Jacob had no choice but to let him go. He slowly opened the door to look inside and inspect the room and its occupant.
