Chapter 464 - Am I Ruthless

When J heard that, she can't help but frown. "You mean you haven't eaten since this morning? You never ate anything for the whole day?" She stood up from the bed and glanced at the clock on the wall. It's almost midnight.

"Mm...hmm." Jacob hummed as he pulled out a chair for J.

"James didn't remind you to eat?" She questioned him again. Jacob was busy setting the plates on the table.

He stopped and think for a moment. "I guess he also forgot to eat."

"What? What kind of boss are you? Never mind that you forgot to eat, I could just chastise you for that, but you also forgot to let your subordinate eat? What will James' wife think of you?" J was irritated.

"Honey, are you mad that I forgot to eat or you are mad because I forgot to let James eat? Do you care about him more than me?" Jacob said acting dejected.

J glared at her man in front of her. She sighed, that day must've been terrible for him. She thought internally. She looked at him with caring eyes.

"I missed you. And I am so worried about you." J said with misty eyes which made Jacob stunned. It was the first time that J expressed her emotions towards him and he was lost for words. His heart is pounding that he could even hear it. He thought that he was just hallucinating but he clearly heard her say those words. He could still see the emotions in her eyes.

He stretched out his arms and reached for her hand which is on the table holding a spoon which she wasn't even able to lift.

"Honey, I'm sorry. Promise, this will never happen again. I'll never leave unless you are coming with me." He said while looking at her lovingly.

J realized what she just said and felt embarrassed. She is not used to expressing her emotions easily. She blushed when she felt Jacob's hand squeezed hers. She lowered her head and bit her lips to avoid looking into Jacob's eyes.

Jacob knew that J is uncomfortable so he changed the topic which J was thankful for.

"So, how did it go?" Jacob said as he helps her slice J's steak.

J raised her head and picked up a fork. "Arthur's team was able to retrieve the Galaxy. They were surprisingly good."

Jacob smiled. "I never doubted them." J could sense that Jacob is proud of his men.

"You are proud of them," J stated with a smile.

"Of course, I personally chose them to.protect you and be part of your team." He replied with a beaming smile.

"Everything went as planned."

"Aivy must be furious right now," Jacob remarked as he put another sliced steak to J's plate.

"Mm... She lost over 120 million dollars." She replied after taking a bite of steak.

Jacob gasped in astonishment. "That much!" J nodded her head. "She must be mad!" Jacob exclaimed. Jacob was born with a silver spoon in his mouth but he is not mental to spend all of his fortunes on a gemstone.

"She had a guarantee that she will be able to take them back all through The Children of Mt. Celandine. But, now she lost that guarantee." She explained after she wiped the corner of her mouth with a tissue then she leaned on the chair.

"Well, she has all the reason to be mad. I never thought you could be that ruthless." J was stunned upon hearing Jacob's remark.

Is she that ruthless? She just reclaims what is originally hers. It was stolen from her. So, was it wrong if she refused to spend a single penny on reclaiming it?
