Chapter 96 - Leaving without Goodbye

"About two hours ago. He already brought the supplies and the toys that the kids asked him. He was such a good person. He is going to be such a good husband. His future wife is lucky." J felt that Miss Eve's last words have a hidden meaning.

Hmmm.... is she lucky? She thought.

After they were done cooking, they bring out the food in the dining table in the garden. Then Miss Eve handed her a towel. She shot her a confused look.

"You might be needing that." after she said that she walked out to call the kids.

The kids including Jacob fled towards the garden and they eventually saw J.

"Miss J!" the kids screamed out in unison then run towards her to give her a hug.

J laughed and said, "Oh you guys stink! Come on wash your hands before we eat." she teased them then smiled.

Jacob came holding Nana's hand. She looked at him and their eyes met. Her heart flutter, his face had bits of sweats, his hair is messy, his shirt and jeans have a trace of dirt on it but he still looks even more handsome. He placed Nana into an empty chair of the dining table before he walked towards her.

"I thought after yesterday you wouldn't be appearing today," he said smiling at her.

J blushed when he mentioned the event that takes place yesterday. She pouts her lips the rolled her eyes.

"I came an hour ago. You were all busy playing that you didn't notice that I arrived."

"I did." then he grabbed the towel that J is holding and used it to dry his sweat.

"I saw you peeked at the window." he gave her a teasing smile.

J frowned realizing that the towel that Miss Eve gave her was intended for Jacob. Is she playing matchmaker or something?

"Where are you going?" why do I have to ask? J thought to herself.

Jacob turned to her and said, "I'm going to change my shirt. Would you like to help me?"

J frowned and said, "You wish!"

Jacob chuckled before he left. J turned around to see Miss Eve watching them with a meaningful smile.

She returned her smile before keeping herself busy with Nana.

Soon they were all seated and devouring the delectable dishes that Miss Eve and J prepared.

After lunch Jacob stayed a couple more hours playing with the kids then he decided to leave. He said that he has a meeting to attend to.

He left without having a word at J. Which irks her. It's true that she had hope that he would not bring out the event last night but left without even saying goodbye. She was dumbstruck.

Then after a couple of moments, she received a text message from Jacob that makes the corner of her lips curve.

"Miss Eve has been suspecting us so I have to make a distance. I'll see you at home tonight."

She stayed at the orphanage until dinner and once the dinner is done, she had said goodbye to the kids and promised them that she will be back next month.

J parked her sports car in the private garage then take a taxi going home.

When she reached the apartment Beauty and Beast pounced on her waggling their tales. It has been two days since she last saw them and looks liked they missed each other.

She gave them dog food then went to the bathroom to take a warm shower.
