Chapter 494 - Be with a conventional family

J knew that Jacob needed her to salvage his sister.

"Lance came from a conventional family. They have principles and traditions to follow. So, I don't think that you proposing to him is a good idea." J explained which made Madam Kelly and Lily's mouth fell. On the other hand, Chairman John looked like a huge boulder of rock is lifted from his chest.

Thou it was kind of ironic to have a very conventional family as a member of the Society which others deemed as unconventional, the Kho's have their own principles, values, and traditions that they follow and believe which others might find unorthodox but for them, it is not.

Jacob already knew this after a deep investigation of Lance just to find out if he has a romantic affection towards his wife. He let J explained it to Lily because he felt like he might strangle his sister there in front of their parents.

"You want me to help you with that, Mom?" When J noticed that Madam Kelly has brought all the buckets of fishes in the back kitchen, she volunteered to help in cleaning them. Madam Kelly is not a meticulous woman, unlike those rich heirs that were born with a silver spoon and got married to rich men.

She didn't mind getting her hands dirty if it is something to do with cooking for her family. She didn't mind cooking and getting scalded in the process while in the kitchen. More so, getting dirtied by cleaning fishes.

"No need sweetheart. Just go and prepare the table on the porch. Lily come over here and help me!" Madam Kelly motioned Lily to stand up and follow her.

"Urgh... mom!" Lily complained. Obviously, she doesn't like cleaning fish.

"If you want to be liked by Lance's family, then you should know at least how to cook and clean fish. Come on! Stand up!" Madam Kelly seems like she is determined to have Lance as her son-in-law.

This time, Chairman John stood up from his seat and walked over to Lily and dragged her to follow Madam Kelly.

J and Jacob looked at each other. It seems to them like Chairman John and Madam Kelly were on the same page.

J and Jacob walked out of the kitchen to prepare the table at the porch. The porch is overlooking the lake. It has a long table that is enough to fit all of them.

After a while, the table is ready with the dishes that Madam Kelly prepared including the fish that they caught from the lake.

"By the way, any news from grandfather? He should've called us since it is Christmas season." Jacob asked while having lunch which made everyone silent.

Chairman John sighed and put down his spoon and fork. "He never called. You were the last person he called. I know that you've been searching for him all this time. Haven't you got any leads yet?"

"No. The last time he called, he just told me to take care of Jenny. Which I would do even if he won't tell me." He purposely missed the part when Elder Parker told him that their marriage will keep her alive.

"Why are you looking for him? For all we know, you and sister-in-law are getting along much better than expected so I don't see why you would still want to confront him about this?" Lily said in a matter of fact tone.

J watched Jacob as he bickers with Lily. She knew that Jacob has been searching for his grandfather with James helping him. And he also knew that she is searching for his grandfather with the help of Lance. Although they could just help each other in searching for the old man, each has their own way of doing things. The Twelve Army has its own connections while the Robin Hood Society has its own as well.

And J knew that they were searching the old man for the same reason. That is to found out the reason for their arranged marriage. They cannot let the Novus Rex finds any loophole in their marriage and forced their way in between.

J doesn't want to be separated from Jacob while Jacob doesn't want to let go of J.
