Chapter 37 - Ms. Eve

J felt uncomfortable. Thou in that moment that her eyes were locked in Jacob's eyes felt magical. For a couple of times, she tried to look away from Jacob's eyes but she can't. She felt like there was a magnet in Jacob's eyes that keep on pulling her.

When suddenly a knock on the window of the car awakes both of them. They were both startled when they saw Lani knocking at the door. Jacob opened the window. Lani was shocked to see a man beside J. She has never seen J with a man before.

"I'm sorry. I forgot. Your book arrived yesterday." she said to J while giving her a book that J preordered a couple of weeks ago.

"Oh...thank you." J didn't know what to say. She felt embarrassed.

Soon Jacob was driving away at Lani's. Aside from J telling Jacob which way to go, both of them were quiet the whole travel time.

After half an hour they stopped in front of the gate of an old mansion near the border of Lotus City and Lantana Province.

J opened the window when she saw a guard approaching them. As the guard saw her, he immediately opened the door and let them enter the compound.

The old mansion is surrounded by a tall fence and inside were fruit-bearing trees. At the back of the mansion, you can see a huge open lawn.

Jacob saw some kids playing at the back of the mansion. J get down of the car, one of the little girls that were playing saw her and hurriedly rushed towards her. "Miss J is here!" Jacob heard the girl scream. Soon Jacob saw ten kids running towards J and give her a hug.

Jacob then saw an old sophisticated lady came out of the entrance door of the mansion.

Soon Jacob found himself inside that old mansion. Some of the kids had already taken the boxes out of his car. He saw J in the middle of the kids opening the boxes.

As he was looking at her, he felt like he was looking at a different person. J looks happy. There are sparks in her eyes and a smile was plastered on her face. Once in a while, he can even hear J laughed. He can tell that her smile and happiness was genuine.

Jacob noticed the old lady approaching him so he gave her a smile.

"I'm sorry but I guess Miss J forgot to introduce us. I'm Evangeline, you can call me Miss Eve." the old lady said as she raised her hand.

Jacob received her hand and said, "I'm Dr. Jacob Parker."

"Hmm... you are Miss J's friend I assume." Miss Eve glanced at Jacob waiting for his reply.

Jacob thought for a while. No. He is J's husband. But should he tell her that?

"Yes." finally Jacob said. If he told Miss Eve that he is J's husband, things might get complicated. J might get angry and it will ruin her day. He doesn't want to ruin her day, he doesn't want her good mood to end.

"I've never seen Miss J with a friend before, nor she talks about one before. I was worried that she doesn't have anyone at the hospital. It turns out she got some after all." Miss eve said then she takes a look at Jacob and give him a smile.
