Chapter 354 - Forged and Fake

Driving his SUV with J on the passenger seat Jacob asked her. "What is that thing that you asked of Lance?" As much as possible, Jacob never wanted to involve himself with how his wife manages her assets. But her last words to Lance caught his attention.

"I…" J stared at Jacob calculating his reaction. "We were looking for your grandfather."

Jacob was not surprised. Because he himself is also looking for his grandfather.

"Is it because of the marriage contract?" He asked and J nodded.

There was silence before J speak again. "Are you mad?"

Jacob chuckled then reached to stroke J's cheeks. "Silly. Of course not."

Then there was another silence. J looked outside the window. "Although Lance said that the marriage contract was real, still I don't remember ever signing that kind of contract. What if it turns out that Lance was wrong and the marriage contract was a forged and fake?" J said without looking at Jacob. It was almost as if she was just talking to herself.

Jacob reached out for her hand and brought it to his lips. He kissed the back of her palm. It looks like, they were both worried for the same reason. He smiled to himself.

"If that's the case, then, I'll marry you and this time I will make sure that it is real. I'll watch over as you sign the contract."

J snaps her head to look at Jacob. Her heart is beating erratically.

"So, are you going to marry me?" Jacob said with a mesmerizing smile.

J can't control a small smile that appeared at the corner of her lips. "Dr. Jacob Parker, is that how you are going to propose to me?"

"Haha. Of course not! This is just a sampler. And besides, we are already planning to have a baby, do you think I would let you reject my proposal however way I do it? Hm?" Jacob said amused as he pinched J's cheeks. Somehow, Jacob was right. J thought internally.

Jacob just dropped J at the entrance of the hospital then left her in the care of Arthur and Stefan while he went to the Twelve Army Headquarters.

…..

After his short visit at Evergreen Villa, Lance headed towards Mt. Celandine. It has been a couple of days since he last visited the set.

Upon arrival at the filming location, he scanned the whole place until he finally saw that particular person. Lily is sitting in a director's chair while reading the script.

It has been a couple of weeks since they last talked. The last time was when Lily gets drank and fell asleep in his shoulder at the viewing deck. Actually, after that incident, Lance thought that the two of them will get along well and become friends. But it looks like God has another plan. Because since that day, Lily never talked to him or maybe they didn't get a chance.

In fact, ever since that day, Lily decided to distance herself from Lance. She already learned how to control her emotions whenever he is around. And she has also started to act normal around him. But, as much as possible she would avoid any encounter with him. She also stopped asking about him to her sister-in-law. She knew that her feeling for him has always been one-sided and he doesn't even care about her. She is not the type to run after a man so why would she waste her time and get hurt. So, she just chose to pretend that he doesn't exist.
