Chapter 136 - Are you fine with it?

She just keeps staring at Jacob who is also staring at her with anticipation. Waiting for her next question. Just as he was about to open his mouth, J was startled and tried to say something, but the words were stuck in her throat.

"I… "

J closed her eyes then take a deep breath to calm her emotions, just like what she always does.

"You… are you fine with it?" Finally, she was able to ask not looking in his eyes. "I mean… you are married to the heiress of the Robin Hood Society. We steal from the rich, exploits money. We are an underground society. I have a complicated life. A lot of people are hunting me. A lot of people want me dead. Being married to me means you might be drag down with me. Your family might be inflicted. Your life might be in danger. You should be living a normal life. My grandfather, my family should not be dragging you with our messy and complicated life…" J must have gathered too much courage to be able to talk longer than she used to. But she was stopped when she heard Jacob laughed. She raised her head to see me looking at her amused.

J frowned. Is he not giving attention to what she was saying? Does he know how just uncomfortable she feels right now?

"Ah… why everyone asks me if I'm fine with this marriage? Is it very unlikely of me to be fine with this marriage? First, it was Miss Nancy, then your parents, now you. Why does everyone doubt me?" Jacob who was seated in an armchair in the corner of the bedroom pursed his lips then forced a fake smile then stand up to walk towards her.

Just as he was just a couple of inches away from J, he stopped.

"To answer your questions. Yes, I'm fine with it. I don't care to whom I'm married to as long as it was you. Who cares if you steal from rich and exploits money, actually I can help you with that? Who cares if you are from an underground society? I would love to be part of your complicated life. I will block whoever hunts you. Who wants you dead? They will have to deal with me first before they could ever lay a hand on you."

"Being married to you means the world to me. Don't worry about my family, they knew, and they were much eager to protect you. I don't care if my life would be in danger as long as you are safe. My life is not normal without you in it. Ah… what was the last one?" Jacob stopped and rubbed his chin trying to remember J's last word before he interferes.

"Ah! Right!" Jacob's eyes gleamed when he seemed to remember. "I was so glad that your grandfather dragged me into this messy and complicated life of yours. Because if he didn't, I would be forcing myself into your life, even if you don't want to."

"Was I able to answer all you question Mrs. Jacob Parker?" Jacob asked emphasizing how he addresses J as Mrs. Jacob Parker indicating that whoever she is, she would still be his wife.

J had her eyes almost red and dry from staring without blinking for too long at Jacob was speechless. Jacob's answers were more than what she wanted to hear. He just wants him to say 'Yes' but he was able to memorize all her words and was able to reverse her worries.
