The Robin Hood Society

The truth is, the manager knows J since she was a child. Elder Do is quite known in Lantana Province as a nobleman who helped in less fortunate people in the province and J being raised by the Elder Do receive the same reverence as her grandfather.

J held her back a little and then said "Stop talking nonsense." with an irritated look.

"No seriously. Who are you?" Jacob was about to say something when his phone rings. Damn, who could it be? Jacob answered the phone without looking at it. "You better have a better reason for interrupting me!"

"You punk! What am I interrupting?!" J heard the loud voice of a woman from the other line. Jacob was startled, he looked at the caller ID and realized that it was his mom.

"Hey, mom! I thought you were James." Jacob laughed while scratching the back of his neck.

"Where are you?" the women's voice seemed to be angry. "Mom I'm in the countryside. What's wrong?" Jacob said.

"You rascal! What are you doing in the countryside! Are you with a woman that's why you don't want to be interrupted?! I told you to look for your wife, instead, you are somewhere playing with some random women! When are you going to act like a grown-up man?!" the woman on the other line almost like shouted at him in anger.

Her voice was loud like it was on a speaker so J was able to unintentionally heard it. This guy... is she really married to this guy. What kind of person is he? What kind of family does he have? Why did his grandfather marry her off to this man? She was in deep thought when their food arrives. Jacob was done talking to his mother as well.

Jacob looked at the delectable dishes in front of him and started to devour it. J's order was a corn and crab chowder and seafood pasta. That's what she usually orders in this restaurant. Almost all the employees of the restaurant memorized it already. Yes, she is a regular customer of that restaurant. Whenever she goes to the Lodgepole Estate she would always drop by to eat. She loves seafood and pasta, those were her favorite.

Jacob looked at J's plate. So that's the "usual" that she ordered. She must've love seafood and pasta.

"Why didn't you tell her about me?" J interrupted him. She is talking about Jacob not telling her mom that he already found the wife that they are looking for.

"Urgh...not yet. If I told her as soon as I found out, we're probably living in the mansion right now. And she will be doing anything and whatever it takes for you to be fit to bear a grandchild for them. I knew you wouldn't like that. Right? So, it is better not to tell them yet. Besides, I have no plan of staying in the mansion. As I've said, it's either my villa or your apartment."

When J and Jacob finished their lunch, they continued their road trip around Lantana Province. This is Jacob's first time at Lantana Province and so far, he is enjoying it because of its view and the person beside him. Although most of the time the girl is sleeping or so he thought and facing the window with the earphones on her ears.
