"Being married to you means the world to me. Don't worry about my family, they knew, and they were much eager to protect you. I don't care if my life would be in danger as long as you are safe. My life is not normal without you in it. Ah… what was the last one?" Jacob stopped and rubbed his chin trying to remember J's last word before he interfered.

"Ah! Right!" Jacob's eyes gleamed when he seemed to remember. "I was so glad that your grandfather dragged me into this messy and complicated life of yours. Because if he didn't, I would be forcing myself into your life, even if you don't want to."

"Was I able to answer all your questions, Mrs. Jacob Parker?" Jacob asked, emphasizing how he addresses J as Mrs. Jacob Parker indicating that whoever she is, she would still be his wife.

At the age of 10, J's parents died in an ambush leaving her in the care of her grandfather who years later sent her away along with her best friend to hide her and her identity from those who would try to kill her after her parents.

20 years later, a lot of things had already happened. Her grandfather died. She is back in the country for good though still hiding her identity. Everything was peaceful until a man came claiming her as his wife.

Since then, her peaceful life flipped upside down. People who want her dead found her but his so-called husband never left her. He was even willing to kill and be killed just to protect her.

"Mom," Stefan sounded as if he didn't want to talk about it. It only made Trixie feel uncomfortable.

"Well, I could see that he still has a long way to go," Trixie only said, and then she lowered her head to focus on her food.

"That is why I was telling him to start working on it," Trixie heard Julie say but she didn't see Julie glare at Stefan while the latter only rolled his eyes before he looked at her.

"Uhm...this is good, Mrs. Mayers," Trixie decided to change the subject and focus on her food because it was truly delicious. It was a salmon with a hard-boiled egg on top of olives, potatoes, beans, and lettuce.

"Oh, dear. Stop calling me Mrs. Mayers. Just Julie,"

"Of course, Julie," Trixie raised her head and smiled at her.

"So, Trixie. I heard that you are teaching at a university. Are you coming back to teaching?" Trixie was thankful that Julie decided to change the topic as well.
