Chapter 586 - The Limited Edition Gift

After dinner, Chairman John and Madam Kelly decided to go upstairs in their bedroom to rest.

"Are you going to wait for Jacob?" Madam Kelly asked when J said that she will be just at the backyard of the mansion.

She nodded her head in reply.

Madam Kelly's expression showed disapproval. "You should call him and tell him to come home early. It is not wise for you to stay up late." She said.

J understands what Madam Kelly is worried about. But instead of arguing back she replied, "Yes, Mom. I'll call him now."

"Good. It's cold out there so don't stay out for too long. If you will have to wait for him, wait in your room, okay?" Madam Kelly continued which made J felt like a child.

She should be irritated but she was not. She chuckled. "Okay, mom. I will. Goodnight." She doesn't want to sound like she is pushing her mother-in-law away but she did. But Madam Kelly didn't mind, she knows how stubborn her daughter-in-law is. Instead, she cursed out on her son as she walked away from J.

J can't help but smile.

The backyard of the mansion is landscaped with trees, green plants, and lawns. Since it was night time, the lanterns hanging on the trees and on the side of the pool were lit up. It gave out a calming ambiance.

She walked towards an outdoor sofa set under a tree with lanterns hanging on it. She takes a seat on the sofa and looked around. The whole place is huge and quiet. She cannot see any maids walking around. J thought that they would be probably resting in their rooms already.

Although the whole place seemed empty she was sure that guards were lurking around in the shadows and one of them is Arthur. She clearly remembers Jacob's instruction to him. 'Stay with her.'

If it was before, she would be conscious to know that there were eyes watching over her in the shadows. But she already got used to it as time goes by. She also learned how to ignore them.

She took out a book that she got from her bedroom. It was a classic novel that she has been reading this past few weeks but she cannot bring herself to finish it. She needed it to keep her mind busy and stop worrying about Jacob who was gone out to meet with Alex Ogden.

After 30 minutes of reading under the lantern lights hanging in that tree, J didn't understand anything. She was too preoccupied and worried since Jacob hasn't sent her a message ever since he left. She wanted to call him but doesn't want to leave the impression that she doesn't trust him.

She sighed and put down the book on the coffee table. That moment, she saw Arthur approaching her with a huge box on his hands.

As soon as he reached her, she raised her head at looked at him with a questioning look. "What's that?"

"This arrived yesterday. There were also flowers but Madam Kelly throws it out in the trash bin." Arthur said.

"Oh." J instantly understands that it was what Alex Ogden sent yesterday. She was initially surprised to hear that there were flowers as well that her mother-in-law throws like trash.

Arthur placed the huge box on the coffee table and remained standing in front of it.

J just stared at it before she looked at Arthur. "Do you think Jacob would be mad at me if I open this?"

"Your husband is not a narrow-minded person," Arthur replied.

J chuckled. He was right. Though he would be jealous, he wouldn't stop her from opening a gift from Alex Ogden. Not that she is too eager to open it, she was just curious.

Arthur took out a swiss knife from his pocket and handed it to J.

"Thank you."

After a couple of seconds, J was looking at the item inside that box and was a little surprised.

It was a 3-piece riser Limited Edition Takedown Traditional bow constructed from Black Maple with red accent stripe. She reached out for the bow and lifted it so that she could examine it.

She could see the limbs are fascor powered and backed and faced with high strength black fiberglass.

The tips are hand-crafted with hard-core maple and black fiberglass.

It was the bow that is seen in a recent action movie that is based on a novel. Only 199 of it were made in the world. She could even see that graphic of the title of the movie on the handle and limb to commemorate the movie.

She thought that it was too considerate of Alex to make research on her and find out her fondness of archery but unfortunately, she is not a fan of that particular action film.
