The Robin Hood Society

Chapter 74 - A Surprise Visit

After taking care of the dogs, the old lady walked towards the bedroom. She gently turns the knob before slowly pushing the door open. Inside the room, she found J asleep in a man's arms while the man is cuddling her. She furrowed her brows at the sight.

After a couple of minutes studying the two, she cleared her throat in an attempt to wake the two.

J felt the presence of someone in her bedroom so she opened her sleepy eyes. When she finally regained her clear vision, she was surprised to see Mrs. Potters standing at the foot of her bed. In her panic, she pushed Jacob away from her and get up from the bed.

Jacob who was awoken by J's sudden movement opened his eyes to see an old lady standing in front of them. She looked at the old lady and then to J with a confused face.

"Mrs. Potters..." J said.

"I came for a visit." the old lady said to J while looking at Jacob.

Urgh... why is she acting peculiar? J thought to herself.

"I brought breakfast. Quickly wash up then follow me in the dining." the old lady said then turn around to walk towards the kitchen.

Jacob looked at J then said, "Who is that?"

J gave him a deep sigh then walked out of the bedroom. Jacob was left fazed.

In the kitchen J cautiously muttered to Mrs. Potters, "Mrs. Potters what are you doing here?" although she was furious, she maintained a tone of respect to the old lady.

"Miss... I came here to skin the man alive. I have to make sure that he is treating you fair despite this arrange marriage. Well, it seems to me that you were well taken cared of." the old lady answered with a teasing smile.

J rolled her eyes and said, "Don't make assumptions."

"Oh...Did I?" Mrs. Potters replied with a silent chuckle careful not to be heard by Jacob.

As soon as Jacob appeared in the kitchen the old lady returned her serious expression on her face.

Mrs. Potters quickly introduced herself to Jacob after serving the foods in the dining table.

"By the way, my name is Mrs. Potters. I'm a family friend and an old friend of Mr. Do." J looked at Mrs. Potters with a small smile at the corner of her lips when she heard the old lady call her grandfather as Mr. Do instead of Elder Do. It looks like this old lady is up to something.

"When Mr. Do died, he left her to me to take care of. But this lady is old enough, so I just visit her every now and then to check out on her." Mrs. Potters continued as she sat down the armchair in front of Jacob while J is sitting beside him.

"So... may I know who is this young man here and why is he here?"

J realized that Mrs. Potters is pretending that she doesn't know Jacob and their relationship.

"I'm Jacob Parker. I'm Jenny's husband."

Mrs. Potters raised her eyebrows. "Husband? As far as I know, J never had a boyfriend before and never planned to get married in the future."

J who was busy eating raised her head and look at Mrs. Potters. The old lady is seriously taking her disguise. She even dropped her title instead called her by her name only.

Although Jacob hesitated at first but later on decided to tell the old lady the truth about their marriage.
