Chapter 365 - Declaration of love

J opened her eyes. She straightened her sit and stared at Lance seriously. "She is dating the youngest son of General Irwin Brown. Arthur's cousin." J said as if challenging Lance's conviction.

Lance was stunned. "G-general's son?" Lance stuttered.

J nodded her head.

"Arthur's cousin?" Lance seemed like he doesn't want to believe it.

"Mm-hmm," J replied nonchalantly. "He is also in the army. A Major General." J said afterward.

Lance stared at J for a couple of seconds. "Are you kidding me?"

"Am I the type of person that joke around? You can even ask them. They knew." J rolled her eyes and pointed her chin at the direction of Felix and Stefan.

"Damn!" Lance suddenly felt stressed out. He leaned his back on the lounge chair with her hand on his curly hair.

"Mom is highly in favor of him, with his status and family background. Plus, he is also good-looking. Just imagine another version of Arthur in the military. And not to mention, Jacob is not in favor of you. I'm sorry, but you broke his sister's heart before. So, what will you expect?"

Lance was feeling downcast but then he suddenly lifted his spirits up. "Who cares about who's in favor of who?! We are not even sure if they were in love with each other already! I am the one who truly loves her. So, I will fight for her."

J looked at him with disdain. This man was just uncertain and confused with his feelings just a while ago then now he would flaunt that he is the one who truly loves Lily!

J shrugged her shoulders. "That I am not sure. Lily has been talking about him with admiration. And the man seems to be into her as well."

"Whose side are you? Really?" Lance scowled at J. Earlier she was pressuring him to confess his true feelings towards Lily and now she looks like she is discouraging him.

"I am just giving you a heads up," J said nonchalantly. J was just torturing Lance. Because the truth is, Lily doesn't feel anything towards the Major General. And the same goes for the latter. They were just keeping on dating to please their parents. The man actually is in love with another girl. But Lily and that Major General were really getting along well, but only as a friend.

The man has the same demeanor as Arthur and having a company like Lily is quite refreshing to him, not because Lily is a celebrity but because of her personality. While to Lily, the man is like her brother, Jacob but less scary. And she also likes the company of a Major General, she feels safe.

The next day, Lily received a bouquet of red tulips. Although Lily was not surprised because she often received flowers from admirers and fans, this is the first time that she received tulips. Because, usually it is Lily, Sunflower, Roses or Orchids. In the Victorian language of flowers, giving tulips to someone means you are declaring your love for that person. She took out the note but it only shows the letter L on it. She didn't ponder longer for it because she thought the L means Lily.

"Lily received a bouquet of Tulips at the set," Jacob said to J as he prepares to get into the bed.

"Is that unusual? She is a celebrity, she is bound to receive flowers from fans." J said ignoring the meaningful tone of Jacob.

"It is highly unusual because there is a note with a letter L on it. And their filming set is confidential, no one knows the location except for the crew and others that are involved in the film."

"Probably Major General sent them," J said as she lay in bed facing Jacob then she wrapped her arms in Jacob's waist to stop him for thinking any further. And she succeeds because Jacob's attention was diverted towards her.
