Chapter 499 - Jacob and Madam Victoria Join Forces

Unlike Madam Kelly, Madam Victoria doesn't have patience with preparing foods. It's not in line with her interest. But she is a very poetic person, one would be surprised that she writes her own book. She even published some of them under her pen name M.V.D.

For a person who cannot go outside the other than around the vicinity of The Robin Hood Society, Madam Victoria has a lot of spare time on her sleeves. So, aside from managing the charity foundations under the Society, she writes books in her spare time.

So, J and Diana volunteered to prepare dinner for New Year's Eve. On the morning of the New Year's Eve, J and Diana decided to go to a nearby supermarket in Naupaka to buy the things that they will be needing.

But, Jacob objected to the idea.

"Honey, we are not in Lotus City. Remember that we are in Naupaka. In the headquarters of the Robin Hood Society. If anyone from the Novus Rex sees you walking around, they could follow you and you know what would happen next." Jacob said with his arms crossed in his chest.

"Jacob, that is why we are taking Leo with us. Or you can go with us as well. We will be extra cautious. I am an observant person, I can definitely notice the presence of Novus Rex." J was being stubborn again.

President Martin sigh. He doesn't want to be involved in the couple's bickering but he knows that Jacob has a point but doesn't want to go against his daughter's stubbornness. He just doesn't have the patience to deal with it.

But Madam Victoria is different. "Sweetheart, Jacob is right."

"Mom!" J was disappointed that her mother takes Jacob's side.

"Sweetheart, you cannot take risks. As long as you are here at the loghouse, it is just ideal that you do not go out and in of the premises. Even if you take Leo and Jacob with you, the danger is still out there. You are right, you can easily identify the presence of Novus Rex. But what if they use someone that is not a member of Novus Rex to watch over you."

J glared at Jacob, her mom has a point but she just thought of a solution. "How about we wear a disguise?"

"Oh, God!" Jacob can't help but hit his forehead with his palm. He never thought that his wife would actually put on a disguise just so she could go to the supermarket with Diana.

"What?!" J scowled at Jacob.

Diana who was watching them bickers silently exited the living room. There is no hope. She thought, she just decided to find Leo and Timothy.

"Honey, I just never thought that you were the type of person that would wear a disguise." Jacob takes a step closer to J and reached out to touch her cheek but J swatted his hand away.

"Don't touch me!"

"Sweetheart. You are being unreasonable." Madam Victoria frowned at J's demeanor. "Why are you so eager to go out?"

J lowered her head and remained quiet. Actually, her reason is simple. She just wanted to spend time with Diana. Back at Lantana Province when things were not that complicated yet, she and Diana would go around the town of Lantana just once a week. She would never do that with anyone except with Diana. They would buy ingredients and then they will cook at the Lodgepole Estate. They were like that until Elder Do died.

After that, Diana and J went back to Lotus City, they find a job and has to live separately.

She just missed those times. She missed living normally.

But they were right. Things were not normal. And she is being stubborn and insensitive.

She knew she could not win against Jacob and her Mom not unless something came up that would let her go to the supermarket, which quite impossible. So, she just went to her bedroom sulking.

Jacob and Madam Victoria looked at each other with a sigh.

"So, you guys successfully bullied my daughter." President Martin said but there is no hint of anger in his voice. They knew that he is on their side as well.

"Diana!" President Martin stood up and called for Diana.

Diana rushed back inside the loghouse. "Yes, President Martin?"

"List down all the things that you and Jenny will need for dinner and have someone buy it for you in the supermarket." He ordered Diana and walked upstairs. He is obviously going to pacify his precious daughter.
