The Robin Hood Society (Jacob And The Heiress) - Chapter 661

Jacob leaned and kissed her temple before he sits beside her on the sofa.

“A lot,” J replied to her question.

Jacob raised a brow at her. “Like what?”

“Hmm…Senator Rizza and Jack Ogden and now Lance.” J said nonchalantly.

“Worrying about other people when your husband is just sitting beside you is not right, don’t you think so?” Jacob teased her in an attempt to distract her thoughts because he knows what she was thinking.

She has been wondering what happened to Senator Rizza.

In just two days, Jack Ogden’s one-month ultimatum is about to end. Which means after that, he will be back to get Jacob’s answer if he is going to leave J to protect his family or is he going to go against him and declare war.

And Lance has been missing these past couple of days, they cannot contact him and doesn’t know where he is. Although, he told Lily that he will be overseas for a business trip. But his family doesn’t know anything about this business trip.

J jutted her lips outward and gave him a side-eye. “My husband is a very capable man. I have nothing to worry about him unless he’s thinking about leaving me.”

“Then you have nothing to worry about your husband.” Jacob leaned to the sofa then wrapped his arms around her shoulder and pulled her closer to his body.

J wanted to ask ‘until when’ but stopped herself and chose to trust his words instead.

“So where is the Senator?” She asked instead while they stayed in that position to watch the sunset behind Naupaka Mountain.

“At the basement,” Jacob replied casually.

“Can I see her?” She asked hoping that Jacob would agree. She wanted to find out what her father did to her. Even thou her mother-in-law already told her not to go into the specifics with how the husbands do some of their shady and sometimes unethical way of dealing with thins, she can’t help but be curious.

“Tomorrow. I’m afraid you’ll get nightmares if I take you there now.” Jacob said which made J look at him with surprise. So he’ll be taking her to the basement tomorrow? Although he said that he will someday, she didn’t expect it to be this soon.

“Okay.” J nodded her head.

“Uhm…what about Jack Ogden?” She asked after a while.

“What about him?” Jacob asked acting indifferent about it as if it was something that they should not give much thought.

J sighed. “You know what I’m talking about.”

Jacob chuckled. “Of course, I know what you are talking about. It’s just that, he is someone that you should not give much thought about. More so, Alex Ogden. They can keep on threatening us as much as they want but they cannot take you away from me nor hurt our family.”

While Jacob was saying that, his hand that was on her shoulder slip down on her arm and rubs it up and down.

“You should keep that in mind, okay?” Jacob added.

J nodded her head before she said, “Okay.”

“Have you heard from Lance?” She turned her body to face him and ask.

“No, that asshole will get a word from me once he gets back for making my wife and sister worried.” He said as he strokes her cheeks then rubs the crease that forms on her forehead from worrying.

“I wonder where he went,” J said leaning her head on Jacob’s palm.

“He is a grown-up man. He knows what he is doing. By the way, are you sure you are feeling fine?” Jacob suddenly changed the topic obviously not wanting to talk about Lance or maybe to keep J from worrying too much.

“Yes, why?” J said confused with the sudden irrelevant question.

Jacob just stared at her as if studying every pore on the skin of her face.

“Nothing.” He said later on. The truth is, he has been worrying about her. She has been lazy and sleepy this past few days. As a medical practitioner he could count the conditions were he could associate these symptoms as well as the other that he noticed in her. But he doesn’t want to make conclusions yet.

He doesn’t want to give her false hope.

“I’ll cook dinner, what do you want to eat?” Jacob said.

J raised her brow at him. “Are you sure you are going to cook?” She said with doubt.

“You said it yourself, your husband is very capable. Are you now doubting my capabilities?” He said with a seductive smile.

“No, it’s just that. You haven’t cooked for me before. Well except for that chowder which I can’t remember how it tastes.” She replied.

“What chowder?” Jacob already knew what she was talking about but wanted to tease her.

“The one that you cooked for me the night that…” J eventually stopped when she remembers what happened that night after they ate the chowder that Jacob cooked for her. She started to blush and felt embarrass.
