Chapter 221 - Jacob's Surprise

Earlier after spending the whole day at Martha's Home, Jacob is supposed to be driving back to Lotus City when J noticed that they were driving the wrong way. She turned to Jacob with a frown. "Where are we going?"

Jacob reached out for her hand and squeezed it. With a smile, he said, "You'll find out later."

J crossed her arms and said, "Jacob, I hate surprises."

"Haha. Coming from a person who is full of surprises. Really?" Jacob laughed charmingly.

"Honey, be prepared to have a taste of your own medicine. You surprised me early in the morning. I wouldn't let the day passed without making my own surprise." After saying that Jacob pinch J's cheeks making her scowl at him.

After an hour, the road they are passing became familiar to J. "Naupaka?" J asked nonchalantly but Jacob didn't confirm nor deny.

J's gaze remained at the road they are passing, internally she is making a lot of speculations. At the back of her mind, she is hoping for something.

Until another half an hour passed, they came to a road that is going uphill. "This is..." At the sight of the familiar road, J started to tremble. This road leads to only one place. The hill doesn't have any residents and it is owned by her family.

She turned to look at Jacob. Her face was expectant.

Jacob looked at her and smiled. He didn't need to say anything. This road leads to the Robin Hood Society's headquarters and to the log house where her parents reside. J has never been there before and has never seen what the headquarters and log house uphill looked like.

But she had passed this road before with Lance and Diana and they told her where this road leads to. J realized that this is Jacob's surprise to her, he is taking her to her parents. She has always been dreaming of going there but Lance and Diana are always reminding her to not dare, even if she tries to, there is a tall gate mid-way that has a surveillance camera. They would never let her in.

At that thought, J was frozen in place, her heart is racing and her lips and fingers were trembling. Thou, her parents already gave her permission to visit them, she never expected that it would be this soon. Thou she already prepared herself, she never thought that it would feel like this when the time comes.

Soon afterward, they reach a tall gate. Jacob stopped the car, then after a minute, the tall gate opened and let them in. Jacob started driving the car. This time the road is steep, it takes them five minutes until they reached the log house.

As soon as the car stopped in front of the log house, Jacob turned to J. "Honey, this is the log house where your parents reside. And that road leads to the headquarters. This morning I called them and asked them if I could take you here today and they agreed. They said they will prepare dinner for us." After saying that, Jacob reached out for J's hand, then he frowned.

"Honey, your hands are cold." a worried look crossed Jacob's handsome face.

J scowled at him. "I told you I hate surprises! You should've told me beforehand so that I could emotionally prepare myself!"

Jacob laughed. Every time she gets mad, he finds it cute. "You'll be fine. Let's go."
