Chapter 372 - It will cause my life

The next day, J and Jacob were in the paddock watching the colts and filly strolling around. Unfortunately, Jacob wasn't able to catch the foal last night as they came a little late. But the equine vet assured him that he would let J know ahead of time if another mare will be foaling so that Jacob could come and catch the foal in time.

The couple saw a Hauler came and was surprised to see a familiar figure came out of it. Upon seeing Lance, Jacob scoffed. "How troublesome." Lance would always come around his villa anytime he wants and now even at Lodgepole Estate, he would just show himself without notice. Jacob is getting a little pissed off.

Because Lance is the first guy that he got jealous off, he has always been wary of him and he can't seem to change that. Although he knew that Lance doesn't have any romantic affections towards his wife, he is still the closest man to his wife before he came and even until now.

And now, it seems that his sister is infatuated with this man and looks like this man feels the same. Jacob knew that he just cannot brush this man off of his life that easy, in fact, that seems to be impossible. He just had to bear with it.

"I'm sorry to trouble you guys," Lance said as soon as he reached the couple. There is a paddock fence that separates them. Not waiting for J's reply, Lance looked at Jacob. "I know that I agreed that we will talk once you're back at Lotus City, but this couldn't wait. Any later, it will cause a life! My life!"

My God! This guy is so embarrassing. Since when did he become like this? How pathetic. J thought internally. She sighed and left the two men to talk. She already knew what is going on and she doesn't have anything to say about that. She doesn't want to be a bias. Lance is her childhood best friend and the person that they would be probably talking about is her sister-in-law. She would just let Jacob handle it. After all, it seems that Lance knew that he has to get Jacob's approval first if he has to take another step.

Jacob leaned his back at the paddock fence with both his elbows rested on it as he watches the young horses. On the other side of the paddock fence, Lance take another step and rested his elbows on the paddock fence in front of him. His hands clasped together as he looked at the young horses. Both of them were technically standing side by side with a paddock fence that separates them.

"I should be accompanying my wife now so don't waste my time." Jacob said with a slightly irritated tone.

Lance frowned, if it wasn't for the fact that he is Lily's brother that he has to get support from, he would've talked back to him already. Who cares if he is the Chairman of Twelve Army and the possible future President of Robin Hood Society? I am the childhood best friend of his wife. The closest to his wife. A position that even he, cannot match. Lance thought internally but chose not to voice it out because if he did, forget about having Lily. Probably even mentioning her name would cost him his life.

Actually, Lance didn't know what to say so he was a bit struggling. This never happened to him before. Usually, before he would come to a battleground, he would make sure that he is fully equipped and always certain that he would win. But this time, he came unprepared. He didn't think about what to say to Jacob because time is his nemesis. If he slacks off, Lily might already belong to another man and he just can't watch her be taken away.
