Chapter 188 - Confrontation

They reached the Parker's Mansion. Jacob held J's hands as he walks inside the mansion. They were eventually received by Madam Kelly. Seeing their hands intertwined Madam Kelly was delighted.

With her sparkling eyes, Madam Kelly exclaimed. "Oh God is so good to this family! I might be able to see my grandchildren from my son in just a couple of months!"

Flush crept up J's face when she realized what Madam Kelly meant. She forced a small smile on her face.

"Ha-ha. Mom, don't put too much pressure on me, please!" Jacob said ecstatically.

J coughed in embarrassment.

"Where is Dad?" Jacob asked after giving his wife a wink.

"He is in the study. He's been waiting for you. Oh, don't just stand there. Come... " Madam Kelly hooked her arms into J's leading her inside the mansion. "Go find your Dad." She gestured him to go upstairs.

Upstairs, Jacob found his father in his study, wearing his reading glasses reading papers on his desk he looked older than his age of 60. When he senses the presence of someone, he raised his head to see Jacob. "You're here." He put down the papers he's been reading and take off his glasses and put it in the drawer.

"Hmm..." was Jacob's only reply, then he takes a seat at one of the armchairs.

"Where have you been?" He heard his father asked him as he stood up to walk towards the window, with his hands on his pocket.

Jacob peered at his father with a cocked head. Chairman John looked at him with inscrutable reaction.

"In just two weeks your wife has been abducted and had an accident. She almost lost her life twice in just two weeks! What the hell have you been doing instead of protecting your wife?" Chairman John glared at him.

Jacob pressed his lips together. While tapping his fingers on his father's wooden desk he said, "Her abduction will never happen if I have known earlier about her identity. Fortunately, my men were skilled and we were able to find it on time. And that accident was an accident. I will never restrict her from doing whatever she wants. As long as it will make her happy."

"You obviously knew about her identity, why didn't you tell me sooner?" Jacob had a grim expression. He has always wanted to confront his father about this but he never got a chance. It is good that his father had the initiative to open up the topic.

Chairman John turned to him and stared at him indifferently. "Ten years ago, your mom has been pushing you to get married. And you keep on saying that you are not planning on getting married. You don't want to be stuck up in the complications of being married. Girls are too complicated for you to handle. And they are too troublesome." Jacob cocked his head. Did he really say those words?

"When you find out that you are married, the first thing you want to do is to divorce her." Chairman John continued as he walks towards his armchair and sits.

Jacob smirk. Yeah. That was his moronic idea.

"And you expect me to tell you that you are married to a complicated and troublesome woman? Her life got a lot of secrets and threats and I underestimated you for thinking that you wouldn't want to be involved in her life's struggles."
