Chapter 214 - Grow old together

"After that trip, I tried to buy this estate and give it to Jenny as a dowry, but I failed. This little wife of mine didn't tell me that she owns this place until I found out about it one day and that was the second time that I came here, thou it was just for a short moment." Jacob chuckled as he reminisces about that day.

Jacob's expression turned serious. "I can see how my wife loves this place. And if one day she decides to settle and grow old here... without a second thought I would leave my life in Lotus City and stay and grow old with her here." As Jacob said, his gaze turned to J who was now sitting on a chair beside him.

As soon as their eyes met, J's cheeks turned crimson. This guy really knows how to talk. J thought to herself. The couple stared at each other for a couple of more seconds until they heard everyone clapped their hands.

After the breakfast gathering, J had a couple of words with the supervisor of the horse farm and to Mr. Bai before she followed Jacob inside the mansion who went first to prepare before they leave.

J entered the mansion from the back door and found Mary who was walking back and forth from the lemon orchard to the kitchen. "Have you seen Jacob?" J asked her.

"Yes Miss, I saw him went upstairs," Mary replied.

"Thank you." Then J walked upstairs. She scanned the whole second floor to find that Jacob is not there until she walked towards the master's bedroom. She didn't knock on the door since it is her bedroom in the first place. When she entered, she saw Jacob standing in front of the window gazing at the ocean outside.

When Jacob sensed the presence of J he turned around and gave her a warm smile.

"What are you doing here?" J furrowed her brow.

Jacob smirked. "You should get used to seeing me here, after all, this bedroom belongs to me now as well."

J rolled her eyes. "I mean, we should get going now. The elders were waiting."

Jacob didn't reply instead, he slowly walked towards J. When he is a couple of inches away from J, he stopped and reached out for her chin and raised it to his eye level.

"You really are full of surprises." after saying that, Jacob give her a light peck on her lips, then pulled her into his embrace. "Thank you." His voice was so warm and gentle. J can even feel the warmth of his breath on top of her head. "Do you realize how much you made me happy? Hmm?" She felt him kissed the top of her head making her want more of his warmth so she circled her arms around Jacob's waist and snuggle tightly into his chest.

"Honey, why don't we just stay here for the rest of the day?" Jacob who doesn't seem to want to let go of her yet made a suggestion.

"No, we can't. Miss Nancy and the elders are waiting." J who is now seemed to be drugged by Jacob's show of affection almost agreed to his suggestion but regained her senses and replied with a gentle yet dignified tone.

Jacob laughed and pulled her away from his embrace. With both his arms on her shoulders, he looked at her and asked, "Are you going to introduce me as your husband as well at Martha's Home?" His face was vibrant and expectant.

J frowned and said, "No."
