Chapter 384 - It’s all over your face

As soon as Timothy and Stefan stepped out of the kitchen, Lulu came to start preparing for dinner.

"You can go home now Lulu. I'll take care of dinner. I have someone here to help me." J said with a genuine smile. Aside from her and Jacob, there was Arthur's team and another three agents in the control room and two guards at the gate that she has to feed. So, Lulu was hesitant to leave all the cooking to J.

"Are you sure Miss?" Lulu asked.

J nodded her head. "Yes."

"Okay." Then Lulu left.

J looked at Diana and said, "You heard that? You have to help me cook dinner before Jacob arrives. We will cook dinner for eleven persons plus you and Timothy."

Diana was ecstatic. "Leave that to me!" J and Diana were naturally good at cooking. This was their bonding when they both still lived at Lodgepole Estate. That was the time that Elder Do is still alive in his last year. Diana stayed at Lodgepole Estate to help J take care of Elder Do.

As they were preparing a couple of dishes to cook, Diana never runs out of topics to discuss until she came to her main point.

"Uhm… you know that Leo and I were preparing for our wedding ceremony, right?" Diana said.

"Mn..hmm" J nodded her head while washing the vegetables.

"Actually, well... It turns out, there is no need for that." Diana looked shy which amaze J. She rarely sees Diana this way.

J stared at her as if reading her thoughts. Then she sighed. "You're already married." She said with no hint of surprise at all.

Diana dropped her shoulders. "How did you know?" She asked with her mouth gaping.

"It's all over your face," J said motioning her hand in her face.

Diana puffed her cheeks. "So, what do you think?"

"What would I think? It's not as if you are a teenager. You should've done that four years ago." J said. It's not that she doesn't care. In fact, she is really happy for Diana.

"I think you should do all the cooking. You owed us a meal after all." J said with a smile.

Diana hugged J. "Thank you."

"Why?" J asked confused.

"Even if you don't show it, I know that you are happy for me," Diana said teary-eyed. Although Diana has a lot of friends, J is the only one that truly cares for her. She is the first one to know that she already got married to Leo. In fact, she is the only person who knows her past.

"Are you not going to ask me how did that happen?" Diana peered at her.

J rolled her eyes. "Do you think I am not aware of what is happening between you and Leo?" Surprisingly, since Leo is an orphan, he doesn't have anyone to confide his feelings and thoughts except to Madam Victoria. While Madam Victoria shares this gossip to J because she knows that J is Diana's best friend.

"Okay fine. I can't hide anything from you. I am still going to tell you anyway. You probably heard a different version."

Then the two started chatting while preparing dinner. Actually, it was Diana who talks most of the time and J was forced to listen.

Soon, Jacob arrives and Diana helped J prepare the dinner at the dining table by the poolside. J prefers to eat by the poolside instead of the dining room. J and Diana prepared five main dishes, two appetizers, and one dessert. They have a company of five men who usually have a hearty appetite so the food that they prepared were that much.

"Thank you for coming and accompanying her," Jacob said sincerely to Diana before Diana leave the villa after dinner.

"You don't have to thank me. I would do that to my best friend even if you don't tell me so." Diana said with a smile.
