Chapter 63 - Widowed

"Mm... the Sports Car? Is that yours?" Jacob asked her while focusing on the road.

"Hmm..." J replied waiting for Jacob to ask further but he didn't.

Jacob didn't reply, he was waiting for J to tell him more but she didn't. He wanted to know the secrets of J but he will not force her to tell if she doesn't want to. He will just wait for her to reveal it herself just like what she did at the orphanage. Or just wait for it to be revealed to him accidentally just like the sports car, her alias as The Black Heiress and Martha's Home.

J assumed that Jacob didn't want to know more so she just settled in looking outside the window feeling dismayed. It is better this way, any way, she is not yet ready to tell him more about her. She took out her phone and earphones and start listening to music.

Jacob saw her putting earphones to her ears so he thought that she doesn't want to talk about it anymore. Maybe it was enough for the day. She already showed signs that she wanted to open up to him but he will not rush her.

J noticed that she is not familiar with the road so she took off her earphones and turned to ask Jacob, "Where are we going?"

"Oh.. I'm sorry I forgot to tell you that mom invites us for dinner at the mansion," Jacob replied apologetically.

"W-what??" J's eyes widened in shock. How come he didn't tell her about it? She is not prepared. The last time was a disaster, she was so sleepy that she didn't know how she was able to escape his mother's insulting gaze.

"I had no choice. The last time I shooed them out of the apartment. I can't disappoint her this time or I'll be dead without a child and you will be a widow at the age of 30."

J leaned back with mouth wide opened. "You're unbelievable," she said as she dropped her shoulders.

"Yep... that's my middle name." Jacob replied with a teasing smile. "What? Afraid of the in-laws?"

"Huh... you wish. Just what did I do in my past life to deserve this. Why do I have to deal with these so-called in-laws?" J muttered as she pouts her lips looking outside the window.

Jacob can't help but smile at J's reaction. He was so mesmerized by her.

Finally, they reached Parker's Mansion. It was inside a private Country Club. The mansion is almost as big as her house in the Lodgepole Estate but more elegant and sophisticated since her house is more of a country and coastal vibe.

They were welcomed by the Parker family's butler, Mr. Han. He is 75 years old but still looks brawny and sophisticated. He leads them to the family room.

"Uncle Jacob!" J saw two kids running towards them. Jacob bowed down to reach the kids. The kids give him a kiss and hug which Jacob pleasantly received.

"Glad you came." Leticia came from behind and gave J a hug. J was surprised, it was the second time that she met Leticia, Jacob's elder sister. The first time was when she found out about their marriage. Leticia then turns to give Jacob a hug.

"I'll be dead if I didn't," Jacob replied.

"By the way, you already met Jenny." Jacob turns to J, he wrapped his hands in J's waist. J looked at Jacob's direction with a raised eyebrow and a cautious look. Jacob' returned the same look on J.
