Chapter 390 - Spoiled Hazelnut milk

The next morning, they were having breakfast at the dining table since the weather outside is cloudy with drizzle. And because the weather is quite cold and moist, J requested Lulu to help her make Nutella porridge made up of hazelnut milk, oats, and cacao nibs.

"Do you have plans for today?" Jacob asked J while taking a spoonful of porridge.

J nodded. "Lance invited me to the set of Lily's movie at Mt. Celandine. I wonder why would he want me to go there. It's just too tiring."

"You should go and show some support for your sister-in-law," Jacob said to encourage her. He knew how lazy his wife is when it comes to going to places with a lot of people. But this was his own plan. He will make sure that she will go to keep herself preoccupied.

"Yeah. I've thought of that."

"Good. I'll meet you there, we can stay overnight at Mt. Celandine before we head towards Lantana tomorrow." Jacob said satisfied that his wife will be quite busy today. Tomorrow is her day off, or rather their day off since Jacob make it a habit to accompany her whenever she takes her off at Lodgepole Estate and Miss Eve's or Martha's Home.

"Say, Miss J. Are you pregnant? Why would you suddenly request porridge for breakfast? A hazelnut porridge in particular." Felix can't help but express his thoughts out of curiosity.

Everyone in the dining table shot him a piercing glare except for J who was suddenly frozen. Her face is red in embarrassment. They all knew that she and Jacob were planning to have a baby so the thought of her being pregnant strike her.

But she knew her body well. She knows she is not yet pregnant. It just so happens that she noticed the hazelnut milk in the fridge untouched. So, she thought of making hazelnut porridge before the milk gets spoiled.

"What nonsense are you talking about? We've been having congee once in a while so, what's wrong with having hazelnut porridge?" Stefan tried to ease out the tension.

Jacob looked at J with curiosity. He wonders, is she possibly pregnant and craving for hazelnut porridge?

J saw that look and rolled her eyes. "Don't give me that look. It would be a waste of food so I thought of making hazelnut porridge before the hazelnut milk gets spoiled." J said with a slightly irritated tone.

"You mean the hazelnut milk is about to get spoiled?!" Felix exclaimed at that thought which earned him a cold piercing glare from J.

"Oh! Right, never mind. It doesn't taste like it is already spoiled anyways." Felix quickly averted his gaze and buried his head in the bowl of porridge. That look that J is giving him is like she was about to take away his food. He has to empty the bowl as soon as possible.

"Honey, if the time comes, you should tell me if you are craving for anything. Okay? I will get it for you." Jacob said showing his affection heedless of the presence of four other men.

"That's right Miss J. We are also here if you need anything, or if you want to eat something strange in case Boss is not around. Don't hesitate to ask." Stefan said as he winks at J.

Actually, Jacob already didn't mind if Arthur's team were acting ever so casually around J. Their affection towards her makes him more confident that they will protect her unconditionally. And he was also certain and convinced that their affection towards her is no more than familial or platonic. He already made a background investigation about their present and previous love interest specially Arthur.

J, on the other hand, felt moved. For a person who is used to be alone for over twenty years then suddenly having five men eat with her and express their care, she felt warm inside. That feeling of having a family to rely on.
