The Robin Hood Society

After dinner, the family gathered in the family room except for Jacob that is nowhere to be found. J was playing board games with the twins. Madam Kelly, Leticia, and Mark were sitting on the sofa chatting and Lily is playing the grand piano. While Chairman John went to look for Jacob.

Chairman John found Jacob sitting on a bench at the backyard talking to James over the phone. He wasn't able to come to the hospital since J left the apartment, so he was just checking. When Jacob saw his father approaching, he straightened his back and ended the call.

Chairman John sat beside Jacob. There was a moment of silence before Chairman John took the initiative to speak first.

"How's your marriage going?" he asked without looking at Jacob.

Jacob sigh then stretched out both his arms before placing them behind his head. "She's tricky, lots of secrets. Weeks ago, I bumped into her at Lantana Province driving a luxurious sports car. A car that only elites can afford. I wonder how could she afford that. She doesn't have any relatives in the elite circles." Chairman John didn't speak although he already has an idea as to how did J get a luxurious car.

"Then she went into an orphanage, If I didn't insist, she wouldn't let me come. She brought a lot of supplies to that orphanage. And today she also went to a home for the aged to bring them supplies. It seems like she spends all her monthly salary to buy all those supplies."

"Yesterday she sneaked out of the apartment. she's not answering her phone. I couldn't find her anywhere. Guess where I found her?" he paused to look at his father then but answered his questions afterward. "Lotus City Motor Speedway, driving a race car in the speedway, wearing a racing suit and helmet!"

"And she is using an alias! She keeps her identity in everything she does. She is so peculiar." Jacob slouched in the bench with one of his elbows on the armrest while he rested his chin on it.

Chairman John nodded. Although he is very much aware of J's identity and why she keeps it a secret he cannot tell it Jacob yet.

"As her husband, it is your responsibility to keep her safe and protected. She might be peculiar but you should treat her like a precious gem. Although you didn't want this marriage in the first place, protect and defend her like she is your intended wife." although Chairman John said that with a staid look on his face, Jacob listened to his father earnestly.

After hearing his father's words, he finally felt the weight of responsibility that has been passed on to him but he won't back down. He felt a strong sense of responsibility towards Jenny.

After a couple of minutes chatting the father and son went back inside the mansion to meet the others in the family room.

"Ah, there's your possessive husband!" Lily exclaimed looking to Jacob then to J.

"Shut it, Lily!" Jacob was getting irksome at Lily who is now laughing beside J. J glared at him.

One by one they started to leave the family room and went to their respective rooms. Madam Kelly already prepared Jacob's bedroom for them. Jacob opened the door and let J enter first.
