Chapter 461 - A way to say ‘I was worried’

As soon as the door of the suite closed, Jacob pulled J into his body and kissed her. The kiss started gently that later on progressed into a deep and passionate kiss. J greedily returned his kiss. She wrapped her arms around his neck as tight as she could.

One of Jacob's hand is supporting J's lower back while pulling her closer to his body. His other hand his stroking J's jaw down to her neck gently.

Their movements were full of desire showing how much they long for each other, how much they missed each other. J never thought that she could miss this man this much.

In a blink of an eye, Jacob has already pinned J down on the king-size bed still hastily kissing her like there is no tomorrow.

After a couple of minutes, their passionate kissing slowed down and Jacob has to hesitantly pull his lips from J's to catch for breath. J's sparkling eyes met with his lustful eyes. J frowned and questioned him "What took you so long?"

Jacob knew that he had to tell her everything that happened that day in order to completely comfort her. He pulled her up and they sits on the bed. Stroking her smooth and soft face, Jacob reiterated everything that happened to him that day.

J sighed. Arthur was right, something happened there but not to them and she was grateful that Jacob came back safe.

"You should've attempted to send me different random messages telling what is really happening there," J demanded in an irritated tone.

Jacob smiled. It was just J's way of saying that she was worried. And he cannot retort back because he knew that she was right. He succeeded in sending one message telling her that she would be late, so he should have tried sending a lot of messages. Although not all might reach her, there might still be some.

But he was too preoccupied to do that. Too preoccupied to think of a way on how to get to her. That was more important after all.

Jacob pulled her into his embrace, he just can't get enough of her. "I'm sorry, Honey."

Back at the ballroom, Diana and Lance were left waiting for the last show to watch. As everyone is seated, eating, chatting and drinking Aivy and Hector remained in their table. There were a couple of elites who would pass by them and recognize Aivy. She would chat at them and some would congratulate her on taking home the Golden Red.

Then they heard the voice of Mr. Gandy, the Chairman of the GBC Auction Ball.

"Good evening! I would like to take this opportunity to congratulate us on this successful and outstanding fundraising campaign event in which five organizations will benefit. Please allow me to present to you these five outstanding organizations." After speaking, the lights in the ballroom dimmed and an LED screen appeared behind Mr. Gandy.

Normally, the beneficiary will be presented before the auction commence. But after meeting with Lance, Mr. Gandy agreed that the beneficiaries be presented at the end of the ball.

"May I present to you our first beneficiary. Alzheimer's Disease Society of Lotus City." At the LED screen, the headquarters of the organization appeared including its facilities and patients.

The Alzheimer's Disease Society of Lotus City is a foundation under and founded by The Robin Hood Society. Its head is Dr. Carlos Gonzales.

On the LED Screen, the face of Dr. Carlos Gonzales wearing his white lab coat appears and started to discuss matters concerning Alzheimer's Disease. "Alzheimer's disease is a type of dementia that causes problems with memory, thinking, and behavior. Symptoms usually develop slowly and get worse over time, becoming severe enough to interfere with daily tasks."

"Up to date, there is no known cure to Alzheimer's Disease although there were medications used to slow down the progression of the symptoms."
