Chapter 473 - Midnight Date

Before Jacob left for a business trip, he already planned for this kind of Christmas Eve date with his wife. Although there were bumps on the way he still makes sure that everything will proceed as planned. He didn't know that he could be this romantic when it comes to setting up a date because he never wanted this before. He never exerted this kind of energy and enthusiasm when it comes to dating women before. He only realizes this with J.

J is a boring person, fortunately, Jacob is the type of person who would put a lot of energy into their relationship. Again, only for J.

In his previous flings, Jacob doesn't give much effort or attention into a date because he knows from the very beginning that his relationship will eventually come to a dead end.

And his marriage with J is something that he sees as a long term. And J thought the same.

"You liked it?" Jacob asked her, his eyes beaming with satisfaction when he saw the sparkle in J's eyes.

"Yes." She said with her eyes fixed at the center of the rooftop.

"How did you do this?" She turned her head to look at Jacob. Her mesmerizing smile is plastered on her lips.

"I had someone do this for me. I originally planned to prepare this on my own, but I struggled with time." He replied. His thumb is stroking J's hand which is still on his.

J sighed. Ever since she stepped foot on the rooftop, her breathing seemed to stop. And until now, she still can't breathe normally. She has released the air that wasn't able to come out of her lungs.

"This is our first Christmas Eve together, so, it has to be special." She heard Jacob stated.

She felt guilty that she didn't prepare anything for tonight. She was used to celebrating Christmas Eve and Christmas alone, in fact, she doesn't even celebrate them. She just let it past. So, she never thought of preparing something for tonight.

"Let's go." Jacob pulled her to the center of the rooftop and helped her sits in the cushion. He laid down and pulled J into his arms.

J was still out for words but she knew she has to say something. She stared at the sky now filled with stars. Just earlier, there were only a few stars visible and Arthur said that it will probably rain, which it really did. Though it was just a light one and didn't take long.

"Thank you." She said although she feels like it was not enough to show how she appreciates everything that Jacob is doing for her.

She heard Jacob chuckled so she looked up to see his face. Her husband is as handsome as ever. She thought.

"It is my responsibility to keep you happy, so you don't have to thank me. I actually feel that this is not enough. You deserve much better than this." Jacob stated, his eyes fixated on hers.

J frowned. "This is already too much. I cannot ask for anything more as long as you are here. I didn't even think of doing something for you."

Jacob sensed the hint of guilt from J's tone. He positioned himself that he is now faced to face with her. "Honey, you don't have to do anything. Just letting me hold you like this is already something. Just staying by my side and allowing me to love you is more than enough for me. You don't have to tire yourself. Just let me pamper and spoil you for the rest of our life. That's what you can do for me."

J become teary-eyed. She wanted to bring her grandfather back into life and thank him for finding such a man for her. She had really prepared herself to grow old and die alone but this man just asked her to let him pamper and spoil her for the rest of their life. This is something that she really never expected.
