Chapter 140 - New Arrangement

She's having complex emotions. She is happy that she might be able to be reunited with her parents and at the same time she is sad. Why does it have to take them 5 years to be able to talk to each other? Why does it have to take them 20 years to be able to see each other?

It took her almost 30 minutes to calm down. She went to the bathroom to wash her face before she goes back to the living room but she didn't find the six men that she left there.

She searched around the house and found Felix in the kitchen drinking water from the refrigerator. When Felix saw her, he almost choked out and spit out a few waters from his mouth.

"Ah... Miss J."

"Where are they?" J asked him nonchalantly.

"By the poolside."

"Okay," she replied then walked out at the back of the house where the pool is and found them talking. James probably was back to the hospital since she can't see him around.

"Hey, Honey. You're done?" Jacob said as soon as he saw her approaching them. They were all sitting in a black rattan dining set by the poolside. Felix arrived then sat on one of the armchairs next to Stefan.

"Yea... what are you talking about?" J asked with a blank face.

"Nothing, just planning on a new arrangement."

"New arrangement?" J raised an eyebrow. Why does she felt like she's not going to like this new arrangement?

"I've decided to make Arthur your right-hand man while the others will still watch over you but unlike before, you might be able to see them around you once in a while," Jacob said.

"What? No!" J was furious. Arthur as her right-hand man? Would that mean that he will follow her wherever she goes? And what does he mean by seeing the others around her once in a while?

"I already have a right-hand man!" J said thinking that Lance will be outraged if he finds out that he was replaced.

Jacob raised his brow. "Right-hand man, means a man?"

J was bewildered. "Yea... if it's a woman then I would say that it's a right-hand woman. Right?"

She heard Felix chuckled which earn him a cold gaze from Arthur and Daniel.

"Ah..." J seemed to understand that Jacob is having an issue with her having a man as her right-hand.

"Does it make a difference if Arthur is my right-hand man? He's also a man, doesn't he?"

Then Felix cannot hold in his laughter. Everyone now looks at him with a cold gaze which silences him in an instant.

Jacob looked back at J with his hand crossed in his chest, J stared back at Jacob equally with her hands on her waist standing behind an empty armchair in front of Jacob.

"It does make a difference because I know Arthur, while I haven't seen your so-called right-hand man. I don't even know his name. Now please, stop bickering with me. I know mom and dad told you to listen and trust me, so that's what you should do. And I'm also going to tell them about this, I'm sure they would agree with me." Jacob said while maintaining his eye contact with her.

J rolled her eyes and said, "Your mom and dad have nothing to do with this."

"I'm talking about your mom and dad," Jacob replied propping his head on his hand.
