Chapter 60 - Ms. Nancy

Miss Nancy leads J to a group of old females then left her while she began chatting with them. Aside from being so fond of the kids, J also has begun being fond of the elders. When it comes to them she got a lot of patience.

After an hour she saw a familiar figure enters the main door. He was looking at her. Their eyes met but soon his gaze was diverted to Miss Nancy who was approaching him. They talked for a minute then she saw them walk towards Miss Nancy's office. J wonders what could they have been talking.

"I'm surprised by your call yesterday." Miss Nancy said after Jacob was seated in an armchair in front of her table. "I see you found her."

Jacob nodded and said in a formal tone, "I found her yesterday. Thanks for your help."

"Mmm.." Miss Nancy nodded then said, "By the way, I'm Nancy Moore. You can call me Miss Nancy. I'm the head of Martha's Home.

Jacob raised his hands to reach for Miss Nancy's hands and said, "Jacob... Dr.Jacob Parker."

"Evangeline told me about you. I'm her elder sister," she said as she leaned her back to her chair. Jacob had guessed that earlier as they both looked like each other. They were both sophisticated but Miss Nancy looks scarier and intimidating than Miss Eve.

"She said you're Miss J's friend. The fact that you're here means Evangeline didn't believe you," she said nonchalantly.

Jacob was confused, "What do you mean?"

"I mean, you're not Miss J's friend. Who are you?" she replied.

Jacob chuckled and said, "I'm her friend."

Miss Nancy didn't speak instead glare at Jacob with a piercing look, "Miss J doesn't have any friends except for the two that I know, more so, a male friend." Miss Nancy said emphasizing the last words. "She might have close acquaintances but she would never bring them here or to the orphanage."

"I insisted on coming with her at the orphanage and today, I came on my own," Jacob said in a serious tone.

"Even if you insist, she wouldn't let you." Miss Nancy was still persistent. She was staring at Jacob and not moving an inch waiting for his reply.

"Speak." now Jacob felt defeated. How could this woman order him to speak?

"I'm her husband," Jacob said later on with a blank face.

Miss Nancy stared at him for a couple of seconds as if trying to confirm if he is telling the truth or just bluffing.

"Our grandfather married us off five years ago," Jacob said when he felt that Miss Nancy is doubting him.

Then Miss Nancy nodded and said, "Evangeline was right about you." she stands up then walked towards the window where she saw J helping an old man with a walker.

Jacob followed her with his eyes bewildered.

"Miss J didn't know about it but Evangeline and I knew that Elder Do married her off five years ago. Elder Do send us a letter. But he didn't tell us to whom did he marry her off. We didn't have the chance to ask him because, by the time that we received the letter, he was already dead." then the room was filled with silence.

Miss Nancy turned to look at Jacob who is now looking at J and asked, "How did you found out about your marriage?"
