Chapter 58 - Piece of Advice

J told Mrs. Potters about her marriage to Jacob. She needed someone to tell her about her situation. And she thought it is best to tell it Mrs. Potters since she is the person who knew her and her grandfather the most. Mrs. Potters might know her grandfather's way of thinking since she grew up with him. Mrs. Potters had served their family since she was a kid, that time her grandfather was still in college.

J never had a mother figure. Never had a lover or suitor before, not because no one is interested in her but because she just didn't give them a chance to approach her and pursue her. Now that Jacob appeared as her husband, she has no idea how to deal with the situation. She is now following Lance's advice which is to go with the flow. But it seems that the flow is not going where she wanted it to be.

Her original plan is to divorce Jacob, but Jacob rejected it and said that he wanted to try out this marriage first then decide whether to divorce or not later on. But based on their situation right now, how Jacob treats her and how she reacts, there is no way that the divorce is going to happen soon.

That is why she is now seeking a piece of advice from Mrs. Potters.

Mrs. Potters seemed to understand J's worries. She seats on the armchair across J's and said, "Elder Do must've been worried about you. You were so hard-headed and persisted that you would rather grow old and die alone. Who in the right mind would want their granddaughter to grow old and die alone?"

J's back straightened as her brow jerked and instantly understands what Mrs. Potters meant.

J sighed and asked, "Then what should I do?"

Mrs. Potters stared at J and shake her head. This girl is so innocent and clueless. She appeared strong and hard-headed but inside she is weak and innocent. Elder Do knows this very much that's why he married her off to someone to make sure that she would be protected and taken cared of. She must make a way to get to know this Jacob.

Mrs. Potters gazed at the vast ocean. She didn't answer J's question instead asked her back, "How do you feel about him?"

J was surprised. She was not prepared to be asked with this question. She didn't even know how to answer this kind of question. Because even she is asking her the same questions. She flinched and change her position but find it more uncomfortable.

Mrs. Potters are now staring at her. More like reading her movements and emotions. She felt more uncomfortable so she averted her gaze and look at the ocean instead. But the ocean that she relies on whenever she is stressed didn't help that much. She sighed.

Mrs. Potters gave of a meaningful smile and patted J's hand that rested on the machete of the armchair.

"Know your heart, Miss J." Mrs. Potters said then stand up near the railing of the balcony then asked, "Does he treats you well?"

"Uhm... h-he cooks me breakfast, he protects me from his mother, he gets worried when he can't find me... I-I guess so." J didn't mention the way he cuddles her during sleep and when he embraces her earlier when he found her.
