Chapter 370 - You don’t have to die

"Don't you think you've been a little too harsh on mom?" J asked Jacob. They were now riding J's blue sports car and on their way to Lantana Province to spend two-days off at Lodgepole Estate.

Jacob glanced at J and said, "Yeah, I actually felt a little bit guilty. But that can't be helped. She seemed to have forgotten our situation." Although he is sometimes temperamental, Jacob is still sensitive and knows how to admit that he is wrong.

J's expression turned grim with the words that Jacob said. "I'm sorry that I dragged your family into this." She said with her head down.

Jacob suddenly pulled the car on the side of the road when he heard J's downcast words. After stopping the car, he faced her and reached out for her hand while his right hand stroke J's cheeks.

"Silly, what have you been thinking about. I don't mind being drag into this. You are my wife and they are your family. Even if I have to die a hundred times to protect you, I will." Jacob said.

J's heart melted, she frowned and said, "You don't have to die."

Jacob chuckled and pinch his wife's cheeks. "I know. I am just saying." Then he let go of her cheeks. J reached out to touch her cheeks that Jacob pinched earlier and it felt hot.

"Your mom is eager to have a grandchild from us. And even if your dad does not show it, he obviously feels the same. But our situation is making it hard for us thus making it hard for them as well." She said with sadness.

"Honey, even if we are in a different situation if the baby will come, he will come. Even if we take a vacation if it is not the time yet then its no use. Everything has the right timing whatever the situation is. If it's meant to be, it'll be. We'll just have to wait and let it be. Mom is just exaggerating things, so, don't be stressed out. Okay?" Jacob smiled at her.

J stared at Jacob and quickly understands him. She nodded her head and smiled faintly. "Okay."

"Good." Jacob returned her smile. "By the way, you said that there is another mare that might be foaling any moment now. Can I catch the foal?" Jacob said as he started to get back on the road.

J smiled. She was so happy that Jacob is starting to like the things that she liked. "Sure." She replied.

"Well then, I guess we better hurry. I don't want to miss it." Jacob sped up after saying that.

Lily was dropped off by Andrew at her apartment. Although she now temporarily lives at Jacob's villa, she once in a while visits her apartment to get some things or sometimes to take a bath or a nap. This time, she decided to sleep in her apartment since it is already deep in the night and her brother and sister-in-law won't be home for two days.

When she enters the lobby, she saw her personal security waiting for her. During the first few days having female security, Lily was a bit annoyed but she, later on, realized that the girl is not annoying at all. She even became close to her and got used to it. She didn't feel like she is being guarded at all.

"Have you been waiting for too long?" Lily asked apologetically when she get closed to her personal security who is now standing at the center of the lobby.
