Chapter 139 - A Call from Mom and Dad

Looking back at the phone's screen she immediately answers it when she saw that it was her father that is calling, afraid that she might lose the chance of talking to them. Although she doesn't show it, she missed them badly.

"H-Hello?" J stuttered waiting for a response from the other line.

But after a minute there was only silence. "Ah..."

"Jenny? Sweetheart is that you?" then she heard the voice of his father after five years. And tears started to well up from her eyes, which she tried very hard not to fall. She wondered how does he look right now. Last time she saw him was 20 years ago, that was when she was only 10 years old. The only image of him that she remembers is that of an old family picture of them in one of the master's bedrooms in their mansion in Lodgepole Estate. But he was 20 years younger.

While she frequently sees her mom's silhouette inside the bulletproofed luxury sedan that Leo drives whenever they go to see Diana inquire about her. And she always heard Diana talk about how her mom looks like now.

"Yeah."

"Oh my god! Sweetheart are you ok? Did something happen to you?!" that's the voice of her mom. J smiled.

"No... I mean yes. I'm fine. Nothing happened."

"Then why did you called Jacob a while ago to come home?" she heard her father asked.

"Ahm... he was with you?" J remembered that she seemed to hear Jacob said something about that but she was quite in a daze that she didn't give it much thought.

"Yes... but why did you call him? It seems urgent. We thought that you were... after what happened last time at CEO Wang's mansion, we were scared about you." she heard her mother's worried voice.

"Mom, I'm fine. Don't worry, I just called him to talk about something that's irrelevant." J forced fake smile thou they can't see it.

"Jenny... listen to me. Please, this time. Stop being stubborn and listen to Jacob. He will protect you. You should trust him. I and your mother trust him." President Martin's tone became serious.

After a long pause, "Ok, I will." J's reply was short and sincere. She never doubts that Jacob will protect her. He already came to the point of killing someone to protect her, why should she doubt him.

"Good." his father replied.

"Hmm... I should hang up now." thou against her will she has to hang up but thought about something.

"Having Jacob around... do you think I can visit you one of these days?"

There was silence on the other side. "If it won't work, I can..."

"Yeah... I guess it would work. But you have to promise me. You are not coming here without Jacob." President Martin replied after a while which makes J smile with a sparkle in her eyes.

"I will. I promise." then they both hanged up.

After she heard that the other line was off, the tears that she had been suppressing throughout the call started flooding her eyes. She melted down on the floor of the bedroom with her back leaning on the floor to the ceiling glass window. The whole room was filled with her faint sobs.
