Chapter 460 - He’s Back (2/2)

God! She missed him terribly!

Jacob looked at J and noticed that her eyes have become watery. He was not mad at all that she slaps him. In fact, he prepared for the worse. He already expected that she'll be mad at him. He didn't call her for the entire day, which he didn't intend to. God knows how much he wanted to call her but the circumstance won't allow it.

He promised that he will arrive before Christmas to attend the ball with her but he failed. He came late and allowed J to suffer socializing alone. He knows how much she hated socializing. Though he was thankful that Arthur was there to accompany his wife. But, he would prefer it if he was the one to accompany her.

J staggered to close the distance between them and wrapped her arms around Jacob's waist. The breeze was cold but J felt warm because of Jacob's body. It reminded her of their fireplace back at Lodgepole Estate. When she was young, Christmas Season was always cold and breezy at the Lodgepole Estate and her grandfather would light up the fireplace to keep her warm. Jacob's warmth feels like home.

Jacob's arms engulf her and pressed her body gently into his. His palm stroking her hair lovingly to comfort her. He took out a car key from his pocket and passed it onto Arthur.

”Take the car with you.” Arthur takes the key from Jacob.

”Tell the others that you guys can go home now for the holiday. Just wait for my call.” Jacob said. His hand continued on stroking J's hair and down to her back.

”Yes, Boss.” Arthur nodded his head.

”And… thank you for looking after her for me.” Jacob's words were not intended for Arthur alone. It was for all the four of them. He knew how they all care towards his wife and he never had a second thought when he left his wife in their hands.

Jacob's hands reached out for J's and they walked back inside the hotel.
