Ch. 461..465: The President's Pregnant, Ex-Wife Chapter 461-465

Chapter 461: Chapter 461 - I Want More

His words touched a delicate part of Laura’s heart, and she thought for a while. "Okay. I will keep checking. If it happens, I will protect what we have."

Jacob sighed with relief and dropped the drinking glass in the wine cabinet; the door automatically slid to a close.

He unbuttoned the shirt he wore, exposing his well-defined chest. Laura gulped at the view, feeling the urge to touch it.

As she made a move to do so, Jacob bent a little and removed his pants, leaving just his boxer shorts on, as his eyes scanned the room once again.

"I can’t figure out where the bedroom is," he said in a deep voice. Laura pressed a remote, and a blind on the wall, which Jacob thought was concrete, lifted up, exposing a luxurious bedroom. He smirked.

"I love it here. Everything is so hi-tech," Jacob remarked, and Laura smiled. He instantly swept her off her feet into his arms without warning, causing the towel to fall, exposing her complete nakedness.

"You are hot," Jacob remarked. Laura smiled as he dropped her on the bed gently, their lips instantly locked. Jacob’s touch on her skin caused her to shiver from the sensation sent across her whole body.

He feared that he might never have a time like this again if she doesn’t get pregnant and took his time to feel every inch of her firm, flawless skin. As he kissed in between her breasts, he saw a scar and confirmed that everything he learned about Laura during the investigation was true.

"How did you get this scar?" He asked. Laura froze slightly. Jacob was planting soft kisses on the exposed parts of her body while waiting for an answer to his question.

Laura bit her bottom lip and responded truthfully, "I was shot, but can we not talk about it?" She asked.

Jacob was a little pained. If she was willing to give him her first time, then why couldn’t she trust him with that information?

"I want to know everything about you, Laura. You are going to take my first time, and it means a lot to me." He captured her nipple in his mouth. She replied through moans,

"It’s my first time too, so we are even."

Jacob saw other scars on her body, which were only visible because of their close proximity, but his only concern was the one on her chest.

He understood from the nature of her job that she would sustain injuries and was glad that she quit the agency. After getting her revenge, they could have a quiet life together.

"I want to know everything about you, Laura," Jacob kissed the top of her intimate part, Laura squirmed, feeling self-conscious.

"I will tell you everything if I survive," she finally said.

Jacob was a little pleased, inserting a finger into her tight hole. She squirmed and twisted her waist from the erotic sensation heating up her blood.

"I hope you keep your promise because I will be waiting for you," Jacob said and licked her intimate part, causing all her desires to increase. Her first release was already nudging in.

"I want to pee," Laura panted and spoke. Jacob chuckled. He knew that she was close to releasing.

"Pee in my mouth. I want to taste you," he said. Laura covered her face with her two palms in shyness.

As he resumed what he was doing before, she screamed from pleasure as her release came rushing down.

Jacob did not allow her to catch her breath before he penetrated her tight hole with full force all at once. Laura screamed, not expecting pain from something so exciting.

Jacob’s lips quickly covered hers as he kissed her passionately, thrusting gently in and out of her. The pain soon turned to something different and Laura wrapped both her arms and legs tightly around his waist and body.

Jacob increased the pace without breaking from the kiss, his thrust becoming harder. Laura was finding it hard to breathe as another release nudged her.

She pulled away from the kiss and with her head turned back, it gave access to her long slender neck and Jacob sucked on it while thrusting harder into her tightness, his groans meeting her sweet moans.

As his release neared, it was intertwined with Laura’s, and their bodies shook against each other.

Jacob did not pull out and remained in that position, his head resting in the crook of her neck, as he kissed her lips ferociously.

They kissed and caressed each other for close to ten minutes before Jacob pulled away and rolled to the side, satisfied with the job he had done.

"I’m certain that my seed is deeply buried inside. Ovulation or not, you should bear our child," he stated seriously.

He felt that if Laura found out that she was pregnant, it would make her more careful and she would return to him in one piece.

He discerned her love for kids from the way she took care of Robert and Savannah, which resulted in this plan. Laura chuckled and turned to face him.

"I have to go now."

Jacob nodded, but sadness filled his eyes. However, after Laura had dressed and was at the door, he rose swiftly from the bed and blocked her path.

"I want more."

Laura’s eyes widened, but he had already aroused so many things inside of her with the request.

Within seconds, their clothes were scattered on the floor, and this time, they were both exhausted by the time they were done, sleep stole them.

When Jacob woke up, Laura was not in bed, and there was a note waiting to be read where she had laid. Jacob picked up the note with trembling hands and read it, as if he was picturing Laura telling the words to him.

’Jacob, what we had was great and I will forever cherish it. Somebody I loved before took my family, and I’m going to take his in exchange. It’s going to be bloody, so please forgive me if I’m not able to keep my promise to you. I love you and would like you to keep the card. You will see me again if I make it out alive. Love, Laura.’

A tear dropped from Jacob’s eyes, wetting the note as he began to fear for the woman he loved. However, he couldn’t stay and do nothing. An idea instantly crossed his mind, and he began to dress up.

Chapter 462: Chapter 462 – My King, I love this

"Robin, can you check with Peter about the information I requested about Laura’s boyfriend?" Jacob asked hastily when he arrived at the villa.

Robin was having dinner with the family when Jacob returned and was surprised that Jacob had not asked about his mother but rather Laura.

"Sure, but where have you been?" Robin asked calmly, sliding his cutlery through the delicious beef he was having for dinner.

Sabrina did not interfere in their conversation and neither did grandma. Robert was asleep, but Savanah was with Margaret.

The family never lacked caretakers for the twins at all times.

"Laura’s apartment," Jacob said truthfully. Robin’s brows raised and he dabbed the corners of his mouth with a napkin.

After a little thought, he excused himself from the table and walked to the study as Jacob followed him.

"Oh, will you tell me what happened or..." Robin was speaking when Jacob cut in.

"She loves me, Robin. She said it herself," Jacob stuffed the note Laura left behind into his hand.

After reading the content of the note, Robin’s brows raised in shock. There he was thinking that nothing was happening between those two when in actual fact, something massive was happening.

"You two had sex?"

"Is that what matters to you?" Jacob asked in annoyance, his desperation for Laura’s ex at the edge. For a moment, he wished that he was an agent too.

That way, he could hunt down the bastard to give Laura justice. However, he knew that if faced with Laura’s ex, he would not be able to stand against him.

The only thing he could do was to pay another agent to be on the lookout for Laura. Still, he had to be careful, as he couldn’t tell who was on which side.

"Of course not, but I’m happy for you. At least you aren’t a virgin anymore," Robin said teasingly. Jacob could feel his cheek heating up.

He was in his late twenties and yet, this was the first time he had sex. Not only that, Robin was teasing him because of that.

Robin, I need to help her somehow. I can’t allow her to do this alone," Jacob said desperately, driving back to the initial conversation.

Robin relaxed and urged, "Calm down. I will call Pete for help."

Jacob sat in front of Robin, who dialed Pete’s number. As he answered, Robin said, "Pete, sorry to disturb you. It’s about the information I requested about agent one’s ex."

"Oops. I haven’t sent that yet?" Pete asked from the end of the line. Robin replied, "No."

"Sorry. I guess I’m growing old. I will send it in a jiffy. Also, I forgot to congratulate you on your newfound freedom."

"Thank you," Robin smiled and said. He had drastically reduced the number of bodyguards and felt at peace.

When Robin received the information, he forwarded it to Jacob without bothering to check it. Jacob clicked on the new message and anger filled his heart.

"The son of a bitch. He has a family and yet, he took hers. His name is Julius."

Robin saw the fire in Laura’s eyes when she was bent on leaving and was not worried, believing that Laura would be able to take down Julius or whatever his name was.

"Is there a location?" Jacob scanned through the documents and shook his head frustratedly. He paid so much for this information and yet, he couldn’t use it for anything.

"More like he is everywhere and never at the same place for more than twenty-four hours."

"He must be very busy," Robin shrugged but Jacob could not help being afraid and worried for Laura.

"He is also the best in his batch."

"So how do you suggest helping Laura?" Robin asked. Jacob was helpless, asking in return, "You should suggest something."

"You want my advice?" Robin glared at Jacob; the latter glared back.

"Yes."

Robin maintained eye contact and cautioned, "Stay away from her business. Only Laura knows how to get to him. Right now, you can’t even get to Laura so how could you get to him?"

Jacob scratched his head, feeling his frustration multiply. "I feel so useless. I can’t even help her. She might even be pregnant with my child." He was almost in tears but the last part of his confession caught Robin off guard.

"You didn’t use protection?" He asked seriously, slightly disappointed at what his twin brother had done.

Jacob had no regrets and spoke sincerely, "I did it on purpose."

The corner of Robin’s lips curled up into a smile. He never imagined his brother to be a sharpshooter.

"Then she will come back. Don’t worry," Robin encouraged him, but it didn’t seem to work as Jacob was still greatly disturbed.

"But..."

"You need to see your mom," Robin cut him off and revealed. Jacob’s expression changed as Robin went on to explain, "Sabrina suggested to her that we take her to the hospital, but she refused."

"Is her condition alarming?" Jacob asked. He feared losing his mother anytime soon as there was nothing medicine could do for her anymore.

"Isn’t it?" Robin asked in return. He knew that Jacob already knew the condition of his mother, for which reason he asked him to be on the lookout for her.

Being caught like a deer, Jacob came clean. "She’s been like that for ages and there isn’t much doctors can do since old age has become another strong opponent."

It was just as Robin thought, and no matter how he tried, he couldn’t feel saddened for Ethel’s condition.

"Then I think you should prepare to say goodbye from what Sabrina said."

"I will go and check on her," Jacob said and rushed out of the study.

A few days later, Robin had a surprise for Sabrina, taking grandma and the twins along. The eight-and-a-half-hour flight seemed to be worth it after they arrived at their destination.

Grandma, who didn’t like traveling, surprisingly liked the place, and Sabrina’s excitement was equal to that of a little girl. She was mesmerized. "My King, I love this."

Chapter 463: Chapter 463 - Honeymoon Surprises

"My King, I love this," Sabrina exclaimed excitedly, her eyes glimmering as she stared at the well-lit buildings along the coast through the car window.

The journey to the hotel was a short one, but because the driver had forgotten to install two child seats like Robin instructed when making arrangements, they were forced to hold the twins through the ride.

The driver drove at a ridiculously slow pace because of this problem, which indirectly gave the younger and elderly women enough time to admire the scenery along the coast.

Sabrina snuggled Robert to her chest as Robin carried Savannah in his arms. The little girl was awake and seemed captured by the lights. Her eyes were wide like saucers.

"What is the name of this place?" Grandma asked, intrigued by the environment. It looked like a place she had seen in a magazine sometime back, and she had to admit that she was very happy to have come on this trip.

Being close to the sea had a different vibe to it. "This is the Amalfi Coast, in Italy. I wanted to bring Sabrina before, but after Paris, I decided for us to make it a honeymoon destination."

"I’m glad you didn’t come without me," Grandma said, ready to have a little adventure. Thanks to her grandchildren, she has become vibrant and better looking than before.

It was magical how these little creatures brought her life. Even her health improved tremendously, and she had not for once thought about or suggested going back to the old villa as was previously arranged.

"This is so beautiful," Sabrina said again, not taking her eyes off the well-lit houses along the coast. Everything was so close to nature, and it brought a different feeling.

To Sabrina, it was hard to picture a more classically romantic scene than Positano’s steep village streets, Moorish architecture, azure water, and colorful loungers and umbrellas lining the sandy beaches.

"Just wait until we get to the hotel," Robin said with a smile. He had so much planned for her, the thought of it all making him grin internally. Sabrina smiled back when Savannah began bawling for no reason.

"Hey, don’t you like it here? Or are you hungry so soon?" Robin tried coaxing his daughter, but strangely, it wasn’t working this time.

The father and daughter shared a special bond, but something seemed to be bothering Savannah this time. Whether it was the environment, no one could tell.

"Let me take care of her," Grandma proposed, stretching her arm to take the little girl from her father, but Robin was reluctant.

He had come here solely to make it up to his wife for their inability to go on their honeymoon right after the wedding.

Their first marriage was also without a honeymoon, so he had a lot to make up for at the moment.

Planning on a long night, Robin wanted to spend the remaining time with his little princess before they got to their hotel rooms and refused.

"We shall soon be at the hotel and then they will both be yours," he turned to his daughter and coaxed once more, rocking the little girl gently in his arms.

"It’s just me and you until we arrive at the hotel. You better stop crying, enjoy the view together with daddy’s warmth."

The little girl stared at him with her teary gaze as if she understood what her father said. Soon, she stopped bawling and fell asleep on her father’s chest. Both grandma and Sabrina were impressed.

Robin sure had a hang on his kids. His time spent away from the office to be with them was not in vain after all. The driver pulled over at the hotel car park.

"I’m glad we arrived in the evening," Sabrina said when the valet opened the door for her. She summarized the Le Sirenuse five-star hotel with one word, ’Glamour."

Robin was excited to see Sabrina so happy, which was part of fulfilling his mission to give her all the happiness in the world.

He began to think about all the places he had booked for a tour for them and discerned that she was going to love everything and perhaps ask for more.

Sabrina rarely asked for anything, which made it difficult for Robin as he constantly had to think about ways to maintain that smile on her face.

It would have been easier if Sabrina consistently made demands for the things she wanted from him.

"There are a lot of places you will like."

"Hahahaha, I can’t wait and I trust you because of what happened in Paris," Sabrina giggled like a little girl, and Robin’s smile bloomed.

If she still hadn’t forgotten about Paris, then it meant that he did his job well.

"For now, the twins and I will have a good rest. Are we all touring tomorrow?" Grandma asked, hoping that she wasn’t going to be excluded.

Before agreeing to come on the trip, she had informed Robin that she would only stay at the hotel with the twins, as she didn’t like going out much. But upon reaching here, she regretted making that request.

"Won’t it be boring to just stay at the hotel? I only need my wife away from the kids at night, so we should all be together during the day, don’t you think?"

"Now that is why you are one of my grandsons. I would have hated you if you had taken my reservations before the trip seriously," the elderly woman chuckled.

Robin could only shake his head but did not utter another word.

Sabrina thought about something and said to Robin when they reached the entrance of their honeymoon suite,

"Robert isn’t sleeping so let me empty my breast before I join you."

"Okay. I will be waiting for you," Robin winked before he leaned in and whispered in her ear, "why don’t you shower first? Perhaps Savannah would wake up and want to eat too."

Sabrina was heated up, feeling like Robin was up to something and agreed. She showered and changed before going to Grandma’s room, amazed by Robin’s thoughtfulness.

"Grandma, this room is so huge and pretty," Sabrina said in awe. Grandma chuckled. She had the same reaction when she entered earlier.

"Well, we are three and everyone should be respected, irrespective of size," she said, referring to the twins. Sabrina giggled and as expected, while breastfeeding Robert, Savannah woke up and had her share.

Sabrina returned to her room after helping grandma put the twins to sleep, but she was stunned at the doorway as everything had transformed from white to red when she turned on the light.

There was a gift box in front of her and she picked it up, but her eyes searched for Robin as she opened the box, freezing with excitement at what was in there.

Chapter 464: Chapter 464 - Sometimes I feel like I married a gigolo

The lingerie inside the box was naughtier than what Laura had given her. Sabrina’s cheeks reddened, but she saw a handwritten note in the box.

’My queen, there are just three simple rules for tonight. One, remove your clothes and wear the lingerie in the box.’

Sabrina only realized the depth of the naughtiness of the lingerie after putting it on. She was instantly self-conscious.

The cupless Bra Set Sexy Lingerie left her feeling naked; she covered her exposed breast with her hand

Her buttocks were equally exposed, but then again, this was her husband and he had already seen everything before.

She slowly relaxed, but as soon as she took a step, her foot stepped on something hard. Crouching down to pick it up, it was a card.

’Rule number two, sit on the bed and let your back face the closet. Please don’t lie down.’

Sabrina was very anxious, wondering what kind of game Robin was going to play tonight, but her sensuality was heightened as the lingerie made her feel sexy and naughty. She felt she was ready for anything.

Sitting on the bed with her back facing the closet, there was a note on the nightstand. ’Lastly, let your hair down, wear that blindfold beside the switch and switch off the light.’

Sabrina obeyed the instructions on the note and did as told. She switched off the light before blindfolding herself and letting down her hair.

Suddenly, two strong arms covered both of her breasts from behind and a voice whispered in her ears, sending shivers down her spine.

"I won’t stress you out tonight because of the tour tomorrow, but you have to promise to not question anything I do to you."

Sabrina chuckled, knowing there was nothing Robin would do to her that she would hate. The only thing he would do was give her immense pleasure, which she was ready for.

"I’m ready."

"Good." She felt Robin pull away, but the moment he did, his deep voice resonated in her ears,

"Open your mouth."

Sabrina found it strange, but she obeyed and let the cold, sweet ice cream melt in her mouth. "Don’t swallow it," Robin said from behind her. She was tempted to disobey him as she savored the taste of the chocolate ice cream.

Pressing his naked body against hers, he turned her head to the side and met her halfway. As their lips met, he sucked all the ice cream from her mouth.

"That’s delicious," Robin said, feeding her another spoonful. "You can swallow it this time," he said.

As Sabrina gulped down the ice cream, she moaned as Robin’s fingers snaked toward her intimate parts.

She leaned back, letting all her weight on his chest as he sucked on her neck from behind, leaving hickeys.

The front of her panties was bare, just like the back, with only two straps supporting it. It was the same with her bra, which had no cut, so Robin was taking advantage of his wife’s succulent body.

Moving her blonde hair to the side, he kissed her back and whispered, "Open up, my queen, I want to make you feel good."

Sabrina spread her legs as his finger penetrated her. She moaned as Robin covered her lips with his, kissing her passionately while his finger moved in and out of her wetness, and his other hand fondled her medium-sized breast from behind.

"Ahhhh..." Sabrina moaned into his mouth as her release approached, and she released her warm juices on his fingers.

Robin licked it and smirked, "You are too sweet, my queen."

Sabrina was still panting as Robin positioned her on all fours. The tip of his manhood teased her entrance, earning another moan from her before he thrust inside, causing Sabrina to yelp.

It was as if Robin had grown bigger down there with every sexual adventure they had. A groan escaped Robin as he thrust into his wife.

"Oh my God, you are too sweet, my queen," he said. His one hand pressed her slender waist closer as he thrust deeply into her from behind.

His other hand squeezed her breast, and there were a few drops of breast milk as Sabrina’s moans increased. He was directly hitting her G-spot very hard, making her release multiple times.

Robin didn’t show his wife mercy that night, thrusting hard and deep, his grip around both her waist and breast tightening as his groans turned animalistic before he released, panting and out of breath, shaking violently.

Sabrina was trembling from her own release as Robin pulled her into his arms and asked, "Did I hurt you?"

Sabrina caught her breath and chuckled. "No. Let’s do it again tomorrow night."

Robin sighed with relief as she asked him, "How do you come up with all these?"

Robin chuckled and replied, "Every time I see you naked, I get new ideas."

Sabrina laughed but didn’t say anything more. She was exhausted and had given in to sleep. She woke up the next morning to a sweet sensation, as Robin was busily licking her intimate parts as if he was hungry and she was the only food available.

Sabrina caressed his hair, pressing his head closer and lifting her waist to meet him halfway, moaning all the way until she had her early morning release.

She didn’t allow him to go this time, pinning his back against the bed before he could make a move. Sabrina took his manhood in her mouth and sucked until Robin released everything inside her mouth.

As they lay on the bed, they suddenly burst into laughter as Robin said, "I don’t know about you, but I found my soul mate. I was afraid that you wouldn’t tolerate this side of me."

Sabrina chuckled and responded, "Sometimes I feels like I married a gigolo. You are so adventurous and I love it. I love you so much, my king."

"So you don’t regret giving me a second chance?" Robin asked as Sabrina shook her head. She turned to face him, kissed him on the lips, and said,

"Giving you a second chance was the best decision of my life."

Robin was so touched, his eyes filled with tears as he pinned her on the bed and took her one more time.

The intercom in the hotel room rang and when Robin answered it, grandma said, "I can see a lot of fun activities from my window. We have showered, dressed up, and eaten, so when are we going on this tour?"

Robin’s eyes widened in shock when he checked the time. "Oh, shit."

Chapter 465: Chapter 465 – Your Sweetness Caused Me to Lose Control

Grandma could tell that Robin was not ready by his confused responses, getting agitated. "Robin, don’t tell me that you are not ready yet. You sound like you just woke up from bed," Grandma complained bitterly.

She was so expectant of today and Robin was messing it up for her. This was also the first time since her husband died decades ago that she took interest in a tour.

"Easy grandma, please give me an hour. We shall meet you soon," Robin said and quickly hung up. Dragging Sabrina with him to the shower room, he said,

"Your sweetness caused me to lose control of the time and now grandma is angry. I guess the twins would equally be upset with us." He paused at the entrance of the shower room and turned to pick up the intercom to make a call.

Mentioning their room number, he ordered breakfast from room service instead of the buffet since they had limited time.

They began showering as they chatted along. "Well, this is the main reason why we came here, right? I don’t think we should feel bad about it. Grandma would be fine as soon as we begin the tour," Sabrina comforted and Robin agreed,

"You are right."

By the time they came out of the shower, breakfast was waiting for them. They dressed quickly and had breakfast before Sabrina went to breastfeed the twins.

They had already had some formula but still sucked the breast milk. Their tour guide arrived and they began to tour around.

Because they carried the twins along, they used the boat a lot of times to not get tired as a result of the long walk, observing some historical attractions, including the Amalfi Duomo.

With the attractive beaches along the way, Sabrina suggested, "Can we spend tomorrow at the beach?"

"Anything for you, my queen."

Grandma did not object as she developed a great attraction to the beach as well. The next day, they visited the picture-perfect Fiordo di Furore, which garners praise from travelers for its beauty. Due to its location, the sun only ever hits the beach in the morning, creating a cool hideaway in the afternoon.

Sabrina confidently rocked some bikinis and went swimming with Robin. Grandma and the twins watched them from afar, while playing in the white sand.

The coast had so many beaches that one could never get bored. That day, they visited three of them, returning exhausted to the hotel.

However, Robin never allowed her to sleep until after giving her another wild night.

The third day was Robin’s surprise for the second day, but it was still in the plan, so he got the reaction he wanted from Sabrina.

"My King, can we spend the whole day here?" Sabrina asked excitedly as soon as she stepped into the Villa Cimbrone Gardens.

Robin’s arms wrapped around her as he spoke. "Yes, we can, but the reason I brought you here is to check whether there are flowers you will need from here for your new garden."

Grandma was taken aback. "More flowers for the garden? What do you want to turn the villa into?" Grandma asked, bewildered as Robin chuckled and explained,

"It’s a different garden, grandma. There is a beautiful place I’m changing into a garden for her. I want her to have all her favorite flowers there."

He didn’t want to give the details because he didn’t want to mention the names of the dead. Their lives were peaceful, and they wanted to enjoy everything that comes with it without looking back.

"Then I guess this is the perfect place for that," grandma agreed, looking around the garden admiringly.

The Villa Cimbrone Gardens are the most important example of English landscape and botany culture in the South of Europe, housing both rare species and centuries-old plants.

"My King, let’s take a lot of pictures here," Sabrina said excitedly. They had group pictures and individual pictures.

By the time they finished touring the garden and had lunch, the twins were sleeping. They used the remaining time for shopping before returning to the hotel.

Dinner was a feast as they had returned a bit earlier than the previous day. Food was equally an adventure as they ensured to have Amalfi ice cream as dessert. Another passionate night awaited Sabrina before they continued to tour more places the next day.

By the time their one-week honeymoon ended, Sabrina wanted more, so Robin extended their stay for another week.

Even grandma was happy with the extension as it gave her time to explore some nice places at the hotel as well.

Returning to New York, they were met with sad news. Jacob was sleeping on the sofa with tears in his eyes while the maids went about their duties with melancholy.

"What happened?" Robin asked one of the maids.

"Aunty Ethel was rushed to the hospital yesterday, but Master Jacob returned looking like this."

Robin froze. He didn’t like Ethel, but neither was he happy with her death. He knew that if Ethel was alive, then Jacob would have been with her at the hospital, but being here meant that she had indeed passed on as expected.

Not wanting to disturb Jacob, everybody walked on eggshells. Robin covered his twin brother with a blanket and laid on another sofa by his side.

He could tell that Jacob had not slept throughout yesterday. In the middle of the night, Jacob woke up without the knowledge that Robin was back.

The lights were turned off, and he was wailing like a child. The sound of his tears woke Robin from his sleep.

For the first time since they got married, Sabrina slept alone, but she understood that Jacob needed Robin and the latter had to be there for his twin brother since no news was heard about Laura since she left.

Robin hugged his twin brother and comforted him, "It’s okay. We are here for you."

Jacob was happy to hear Robin’s voice, and his mood improved. "When did you return?" He asked, hugging Robin back.

"Last night, but you were already asleep," Robin said after he pulled away.

"How did it go?" Jacob asked. Robin smiled and replied,

"Better than I wanted it to be."

Jacob forced a smile through the pain. He was indeed happy for his twin brother, but his expression was still moody because of the loss of his mother.

"What happened? Tell me. Have you heard from Laura?" Robin asked all at once.
