Chapter 369 - Have a Break

"Oh… right! Let's now have a dinner." Madam Kelly exclaimed. After a while, the tension that builds up between J and Andrew slowly dissipated as the family started to have dinner. As expected, Madam Kelly indeed prepared fertility-boosting foods for J but no one noticed it except for J and Jacob. The two of them shared a meaningful glance at each other.

After dinner, Lily decided to leave the mansion eventually saying that she has to return to Mt. Celandine while Andrew has to report back at the base early in the morning tomorrow. But the truth is, she is just avoiding any encounter between J, Andrew, and her brother.

After sending the twins to their bedroom and tucking them up to sleep, Madam Kelly returned to the family room to have a chat with J and Jacob. The twins have been staying in the Parker's Mansion occasionally as per Madam Kelly and Chairman John's request to alleviate their longing for their kids who have already grown up now and started to have a family of their own. Their only hope now is for Jacob and Lily to give them more grandchildren to relieve their boredom.

"Tell me, isn't there any news with your tummy?" Madam Kelly started. This is the very reason why she invited the two for dinner. She just didn't bring it up during dinner because of the presence of Andrew.

J glanced at Jacob slightly embarrassed.

"Mom, we'll tell you immediately if there's good news. Don't be too impatient." Jacob said as he held J's hand in his.

"Well, you can't blame me. You two are not getting any younger. A couple of years more and it would be much harder for the two of you to have kids. You know what I mean, you two are in the field of medicine. So, you of all people should know what I am talking about."

"Mom, we're trying, okay!" Jacob is starting to get irritated.

"Just trying is not enough. I think your body is not in condition. You two are working too hard. Why don't you have a break? Take a week vacation. You haven't had your honeymoon yet. Don't worry, I'll plan everything out, you just have to leave for work."

All this time, Chairman John was just listening. Although Madam Kelly is going a bit overboard, he thinks that his wife has a point. He too is longing for a grandchild from Jacob.

This time, J has to speak up. "Mom, we are not over working. We are actually having a time out at Lantana Province during my day-off. A week of vacation is not necessary."

"It is. It is decided. I'll arrange for it."

"Mom. The Novus Rex is just around waiting for the right time to make a move. I don't think this is the right time to relax and have a vacation. If having a grandchild is your concern, we'll definitely have it but I cannot compromise Jenny's safety just because of it." Jacob said with a grim expression. J sensed that Jacob is trying his best not to explode in front of his mother.

Madam Kelly and Chairman John were stunned. Jacob is right, but Chairman John didn't show his emotion at that moment.

Later on, Madam Kelly said, "Okay, I understand. I won't persist anymore."

J knew that Madam Kelly is disappointed but she is just hiding her real emotion.
