Chapter 346 (Money Issue Resolved)

"I was just curious as to why she isn't here to keep you company," Jacob explained.

"Melissa has her work to attend to. She can't possibly keep me company every day she has been skipping work for the past few days to stay with me. Have you handled all your matters in Shallow Falls? Why don't we return to Pentagon tomorrow? I feel ill at ease leaving my dad alone at home," Stefanie said bitterly.

Additionally, Jacob planned to drop by the Martial Arts Gathering that would be taking place next week.
