Chapter 61 - I don't trust you

Jacob told her about the marriage contract that his grandfather gave him and the events that happened after that.

"So it's fine with you? Being married to her?" Miss Nancy said with doubt.

Jacob confidently said yes looking at Miss Nancy's eyes. Where did he get the confidence to say that he doesn't know? But he is serious when he said that.

Miss Nancy shake her head and said, "Elder Do wants Miss J to be protected that's why he married her off to you. To tell you honestly, I don't trust you. I don't know what he saw in you that he chose you for Miss J. But I have to trust Elder Do."

Jacob was slightly irritated at Miss Nancy for being straightforward. How could she judge him that easily without knowing him first? Does she think he cannot protect his wife?

"I am the Chairman of the CLP Group of Hospitals. Base on my status and capability I am confident that I can protect her. I will protect her with my life if I have to. And with all due respect Miss Nancy, I was married to her without my knowledge and opinion. It is true that we share the same animosity here but I accepted it, I embraced it. I don't know what I will get out of this marriage but I've said it before, I am seriously considering this marriage." Jacob stood up with his temper rising. If it wasn't for J he would have already left after saying those words but he remains standing.

Miss Nancy was amused but later on said, "She doesn't know you."

"I don't know her either, so what difference does it make?" Jacob instantly replied.

Miss Nancy smirk, "We can only trust you...S-she..." Miss Nancy sighed deeply while her face softens. "She deserved to be happy. Can you do it?" she said it beseechingly.

Jacob was amused at the sudden change in Miss Nancy's articulation. Miss Eve, Nana, Harry and the rest of the kids, and now Miss Nancy. They were all beseeching him to protect J. This is getting more peculiar. To others, they wouldn't understand why does completely unrelated people care too much about J's welfare.

J grew up with Elder Do and Mrs. Potters. And sometimes, Mrs.Potters would send her to Miss Eve's or Martha's Home where Miss Eve and Miss Nancy would take care of her. So, technically, she grew up with these peoples. They knew of her situation being born from a family that has to create a heist to help other people and then hide their identity. With her situation, they never heard J complain ever since she was young. She had learned to think first about other people before her. She has preferred to be alone and never talks to anyone to keep herself and her family safe. That's why Miss Eve and Miss Nancy hopes that someday, things will change for her and that someone would take care of her the way she should be.

They don't want to see her be alone for the rest of her life just like what she always says. J deserves more than that.

"Jenny doesn't trust me either, but I've already been trying my best to make her happy. Although I don't know what I will get after this, I decided to not expect anything from her in return." he let out a gloomy sigh as he shrugs his shoulders.
