Chapter 130 - Meeting the Parents

Jacob sits on one of the accent chairs near President Martin. Jacob has a habit of studying the persons that he has to deal with before he speaks his first words. Jacob studied the man first who is smiling at him, he is probably around 55 to 60 years old. There were streaks of silver hair in his well-groomed hair. His broad chin shows a cleft chin and stubble. He has deep-set eyes, thick eyebrows, thin lips, and visible crow lines and forehead lines. He is wearing gray slacks and coat with a white long sleeve under it. He looks dignified and looks like he is observing him as well. He is the President of the Robin Hood Society, Jacob thought.

The lady, on the other hand, looks quiet and reserved. Probably around early '50s. Although she has a focused gaze towards Jacob, he quickly noticed that she looks beautiful, and probably a charmer during her younger days. She reminds him of someone he knows. Her face is well proportioned with a broad forehead, beautiful nose, prominent strong jaw with a smooth edge, brown eyes, dark brows, and small lips. Her black long hair is neatly combed. She looks domineering wearing a black dress and a glove.

Jacob was quick-witted. He eventually recognizes them as J's parents. J's looks were a combination of both her parents while her aura is more of her mother's that makes her look more like her mother. Jacob thought. A small smile appeared at the corner of Jacob's lips thinking about J, which made Madam Victoria raised an eyebrow.

"I'm President Martin Do, and this is my wife Victoria Do." Jacob heard President Martin said.

Jacob smiled and replied, " It's an honor to meet you."

"Thou I'm curious... did I do something preposterous that made the dead come back to life?" Jacob said with a Cheshire cat grin.

President Martin laughed at Jacob's humor. While Madam Victoria looked at the two of them with indifference.

"You're quick-witted Chairman Jacob." President Martin said with a sparkling eye.

Jacob noticed Madam Victoria rolled her eyes. Very much like Jenny. He thought.

"Please drop the formality. It makes me feel old. Just call me Jacob." he said.

"Well, then Jacob. I'm not sure if you already have an idea as to why did I trouble you to come up all the way here. But definitely not to witness the dead come back to life." thou serious, President Martin's tone was light.

Jacob smiled. "Please enlighten me."

"It's about our daughter." President Martin looked at Jacob waiting for any sign of inquisitiveness. Madam Victoria looked at him with suspicion.

The moment Jacob find out that Jenny's parents were still alive and are still the leaders of the Robin Hood Society, it came clearer to him that they called him here to talk about Jenny.

"We have a couple of questions for you." President Martin continued, this time he looks more serious.

"Go on," Jacob said anticipating.

"Are you fine with it? Being married to my daughter? You know she's dull and reticent, I don't think she's the type of your kind." President Martin reveals his hesitancy towards Jacob.

Jacob narrowed his eyes. It would be a lie if he said that he is not at least affected by President Martin's doubt on him for Jenny. Who would want their in-laws to have doubt on them?
