The Robin Hood Society (Jacob And The Heiress) - Chapter 656
“Chairman Jacob,” Hannah Li quickly stood up when she saw who arrived.
“Miss Hannah Li,” Jacob bowed his head to greet the visitor. “Thank you for visiting my wife.” He smiled showing his gratefulness.
Hannah Li felt shy and a little awkward at the presence of her husband’s boss. “It’s nothing. I hope you don’t mind that I came without further notice. I even brought my daughter with me.”
Jacob smiled. “Of course I don’t mind and I was glad you did. Whatever makes my wife happy.” Jacob said and look at J with fondness.
He likes what he is seeing in J’s face.
“Your daughter grows up fast,” Jacob said fighting the urge to snatch the baby from J’s arms.
“Yes, that’s true and false at the same time.” Hannah Li said while looking at her daughter gently.
J and Jacob looked at her with confusion on their faces.
Seeing the confusion in Jacob and J’s face, Hannah smiled at them.
“I mean, it’s true that babies grow so fast, but every moment I spent with her nothing seems fast at all, it was like an eternity. You’ll understand when you have a baby of your own.” Hannah Li chuckled.
“Once you have your own, spend more time with her and cherish every tiny moment. Because you’ll never notice it until the little baby in your arms is gone and replaced by a young man.” Hannah Li continued.
“Now you are making me guilty about giving Daniel too much work.” Jacob scratched the back of his head.
Hannah Li was taken aback. It wasn’t her intention to sound like she is complaining that Daniel spends most of his time with J than his daughter.
“Jacob!” J glared at him worried that he might’ve offended Daniel’s wife.
“Oh, I didn’t mean anything about that. I know Daniel understands what I mean, right?” Jacob said then turns to look at Daniel who was standing silently behind him.
“Yes, Boss.” Daniel nodded his head.
“By the way, have you had dinner?” Jacob changed the topic to avoid making Hannah Li feel awkward.
“Yes, Miss J prepared dinner for us.” Hannah Li suddenly became timid.
“Good, I was worried that my wife will lose appetite eating alone. I’m glad she had your company.” Jacob said then reached to stroke the cheeks of J who was still sitting on the sofa and holding the baby.
Then Jacob glanced at the sleeping baby on her hands. He felt a sense of longing.
“You want to hold her?” J saw the look on his face and asked.
“Nah. I’m afraid I might squeeze her.” Jacob chuckled.
The two couples continued chatting until it was time for Daniel and Hannah to leave.
“Thanks for the visit,” J said as they send Daniel and Hannah at the lobby of the main building.
Daniel is already holding his daughter in his arms.
“Your welcome. I hope, your arms don’t get sored after holding the baby for too long.” Hannah said apologetically glancing at her arms.
“Don’t worry about it. I enjoyed it. I hope you could visit often.” J said glancing at Daniel. She is sending the message to him indirectly telling him to bring his wife and daughter more frequently.
“I’ll try.” Hannah smiled back at her then looked at Daniel and her baby. “We better get going.”
J nodded her head and the family of three left leaving her and Jacob at the lobby.
There were few lights turned on in the lobby not making it totally dark.
J and Jacob walked back to their home with hands intertwined.
“It seemed that you are starting to enjoy making new friends,” Jacob commented making J pout her lips.
“She’s easy to get along with,” J said casually. She doesn’t believe in making new friends as it was easy. She believes that friends will casually come and you’ll never notice that you just made real friends when they stayed.
She is not the type of person that will try hard to impress and make friends.
“I’ll make sure to have her and her baby around you more often,” Jacob said. Especially now that Diana and Timothy cannot just go and visit her. While J cannot just leave the Twelve Army Headquarters.
“And why is that?” She asked.
“I can see how happy you are with the presence of the baby,” Jacob said and looked at her with tenderness. They were already at the elevator.
“Huh?” J didn’t realize how happy she looked with a baby in her arms.
“I can’t wait to have a baby of our own. I am sure you are going to be the most beautiful and gentle mother.” Jacob said sounding like he was in a dream.
But J suddenly felt downcast. They’ve been trying for a while now to get pregnant but they are in no luck.
“What if…” J trailed but Jacob eventually noticed the sadness in her eyes.
