Chapter 568 - Celebration at Loghouse

After the feast, J and Jacob rested for two hours before Jacob said that they have to be back on the road again. J is now getting curious at how many more surprised does Jacob has for her.

It is already four in the afternoon when they left Lodgepole Estate. J still insisted on driving. She really missed being behind the wheels.

"How many more Mr. Parker?" She asked with her eyes on the road.

"You'll see," Jacob replied with a smirk.

J rolled her eyes. Did she expect him to give her an answer? No.

"Okay. Then, where are we going next?"

"Loghouse," Jacob said and J felt that he was just forced because she is the one behind the wheels.

J laughed. "Okay, I guess I already expected that." She said with a smile glancing at Jacob who is sulking on the passenger seat.

And just as she expected, when they reached the Loghouse, everyone was there. The Parkers, her mom, and dad, Lance, Diana, and her family and of course Arthur's team.

"You really are something." J nudged at him who is standing beside her with his hands on his pocket. They were looking at everyone who is waiting for them by the poolside.

"Well, at least I didn't invite the whole of The Robin Hood Society." He said with complacency.

"Well...I commend you on that." She said leaning closer to him. "Did you prepare this?" She asked.

"No, it was Diana." He replied then pull her towards everyone, their hands intertwined.

"I am not surprised." Because Diana has always been the one planning a birthday celebration for the past five years and she would never accept a no for an answer which annoyed Lance because when they were abroad, although he made a plan it never materialized because he would always get a no from J.

"Happy Birthday, sweetheart." J becomes emotional when her mom hugs and greeted her. When was the last time she celebrated her birthday with them? More than 20 years ago.

Then, President Martin did the same. He was emotional as well.

"I'm glad to see you are doing fine. Thank you for this." She said when she hugged Diana who is sitting between Leo and Madam Victoria.

"Everything for my best friend," Diana said with a smile. She originally planned to have the celebration at the Lodgepole Estate but Jacob didn't approve it. Because it would mean exposing J's safe haven and President Martin and Madam Victoria as well. The Parkers were constantly watched by Novus Rex. Coming to Loghouse was already risky but of course, everything became possible with the help of a little disguise.

"So, you are here." She said looking at Arthur then to Daniel, Felix, and Stefan.

Arthur shrugged his shoulder. "Told you we'll see you later." He said and she smiled.

"Looks like you had a great day," Felix said with a hidden meaning.

J smiled. "Yes, I did." She paused. "Thanks for watching over." She said then turned leaving them slack-jaw except for Arthur who chuckled and shook his head. She already warned them, they cannot hide anything from her.

She thanked everyone and gave each a hug including the twins and Timothy before they started preparing dinner that of course, Madam Kelly prepared with the help of Diana and Lily.

After the dinner, Diana immediately excused herself stating that she is tired which J understands. Leo was left to look after Timothy who was playing with the twins which although much older than him, didn't mind playing with Timothy.

J and Jacob were on the sofa under that big oak tree looking at the magnificent night view of the Lotus City. Everyone was around casually chatting, the kids were running around playing.

"Happy?" She heard Jacob asked. His arms around her shoulder and her body are leaning on his muscular chest.

"Very." She replied.

"Good." Jacob nodded his head.

They both fell silent enjoying the moment.

"But why do I have a feeling that the day is not over yet?" J raised her head and looked at Jacob with narrowed eyes.

She knew that Jacob is the type of person that would exert a lot of time and energy to prepare something special for her especially that it is her birthday. Although they had been busy the whole day with a lot of surprises, those surprised were not directly prepared by Jacob.

The race car was prepared by her team with the help and guidance from Jacob.

The feast at the Lodgepole Estate was prepared by Mrs. Potters with Jacob's notice.

The celebration at Loghouse was prepared by Diana, Jacob just invited everyone.

What Jacob did was just to let her drive her sports car again.

Is that it? J thought internally. She doesn't want to feel hopeful but she can sense that it is not just it.
