Chapter 527 - The hardest battle (1/2)

”What did he say?” J asked curiously. They were still holding each other standing but this time, they already managed to get in Jacob's room. They decided to stay at the mansion for the night.

”Nothing.” As much as possible Jacob doesn't want to talk about it to her.

J frowned. ”He wouldn't call you there for nothing.”

Jacob sigh. Of course, she will not stop until he speaks so Jacob reiterated what Jack Ogden told them.

Disbelief was plastered on J's beautiful face. Jacob expected that because that was their reaction as well.

”Why would my grandfather do that?” she asked.

Jacob shrugged his shoulders. They wouldn't know what Alexander Do is thinking back then because he is already dead. Unless he told about it to Benjamin Parker. So Jacob just said what he thought. ”Because they were friends?”

”What?! That's ridiculous! Complete nonsense!” J was astounded.

”I know.” Jacob wrapped his arms around her and settled his face into the crook of J's neck. ”Don't worry, we are already married. And he can't do anything about it.”

J became silent.

”What else?” She asked later on. She knew that that's not all. She can feel it. She can sense it by the way that Jacob is holding her.

”That's all,” Jacob said without moving. He didn't raise his head because he knows that his eyes will betray him. J would be able to read him and she will find out that he is hiding something.

She became silent again waiting for Jacob to say something but he didn't. So she voiced out her thoughts.

”He asked you to leave me in exchange for what?”
