Chapter 487 - It's okay to be cheesy

Hearing that question Lily and Jacob looked at her and eagerly waiting for her reply. Much to their relief, J confidently replied with. "No, I didn't"

"You didn't?"

J just pursed her lip and shrug her shoulders. "I don't know. But I really didn't. I just saw him as a big brother. That's all."

Somehow, everyone was convinced and didn't dwell much on the topic. They continued chatting about politics, business and once in a while entertainment. It made the twins and J bored to the max. Although J could understand and relate to the topic involving politics and business she just can't seem to be interested in talking about it unless it is necessary. While when it comes to entertainment, aside from country music, she cannot relate at all.

After dinner, they continue their chat at the balcony of the villa. It was overlooking a lake. It was a scenic view that made J immediately attracted to it. The moon shines in the lake and is reflected in it. The surroundings have yellow dim lights making the atmosphere calm and relaxing. J is sitting on a swing bench looking at the calm lake. The twins were running on the lawn although it was already dark, the lights were enough to see them.

Chairman John, Madam Kelly and Leticia were chatting on the sofa while Lily is sitting on an accent chair in one corner talking to Lance over the phone.

Jacob and Mark take a stroll around the villa to talk about something which J doesn't have an idea at all.

The swing bench where J is sitting is just across the sofa where the others were chatting and once in a while, she would join their conversation or Madam Kelly and Leticia would ask her something which she would just reply casually. But she prefers it if she would just stay there, listen to their conversation while watching the lake.

After a while, Leticia joined the twins, Chairman John and Madam Kelly went to their bedroom upstairs and Lily's now cannot be seen. She was too engrossed in talking with Lance. Don't they get sated? J thought internally.

She was startled when she felt Jacob covered her shoulder with a blanket.

"It's cold out here. Why didn't you get inside?" Jacob said with a frown. When he and Mark walked back inside the villa, she noticed that J was still sitting on the swing bench. He thought that she probably liked it there so he went to their bedroom to get a blanket to cover her in case she wanted to stay for a little bit more. Which, he was right.

"I'm fine. I want to stay for a couple more minutes." J assured him with a smile.

Jacob walked around the swing bench and sits beside her then he pulled her to his embrace. J planned to get inside the villa in just a couple of minutes since it is getting colder there but Jacob brought the warmth that her body needed making her want to stay there longer. She snuggled closer to his body and Jacob tightened his embrace. He kissed the top of her head before he rested his chin on it.

The breeze of the night touched their skin. "It's cold."

"Not until you came." J boldly replied which made Jacob chuckled.

"Since when did you become so cheesy?"

J blushed when she realized that he was right. Her words were a bit cheesy. She frowned and felt embarrassed.

"I liked it. Going out of your comfort zone once in a while is good." Jacob sensed her embarrassment and comfort her.

J thought of it and realized that going out of her box sometimes felt good. She smiled.

"Do you always spend Christmas here?" J asked.

"Mm..." Jacob nodded his head. "Ever since I could remember. Well, except for the last five years that I was abroad."

"Hmm... This place is so beautiful."

"I'm glad you liked it?"
