Amber slowly squat beside him and hugged him tightly , she was trying so hard not to cry since watching Jacob cry made her so emotional.
She suddenly got her text from an unknown number, telling the address of where Jacob mother was buried
Until now, she has no idea on who sent the text.
Maybe she did a bad job by bringing him to her grave
Now he has been hurt twice.
She does not know how to console him and the only weapon she has now is her hug
"I am sorry jacob" She sniffed back her tears "I had no idea you did not know about this"
Jacob disengage the hug and wiped his tears while staring at the grave "I suddenly feel like a bad son. My mother has been here for the past four years but I.... Really had no idea"
"It is not your fault jacob"
"Mom must be so sad I have not visited since all this years" tears started to gather in his eyes "it's such a pity"
Amber hugged him , while stroking his hair
Few minutes later, they both sat on the grass in front of the grave, Amber linking her arms with Jacob's and placing her head on his shoulder
"This is the first time I would be seeing your Mother" Her voice trailed to her picture "She is so pretty. No wonder you are so handsome too"
"Really?" Jacob scoffed
"I am sorry, if only I knew your mother was not buried, I would have told you beforehand"
"It's okay" Jacob sighed "By the way, how did you find out about it? My Father must have tried all his best to hide it from both you and me"
Amber sat up and brought out her phone, showing him the text she got from the unknown number "I got a text from an unknown number. Do you know who this could be?"
"I am not sure" Jacob brought out his phone and typed it on his phone and since it did not bring out any name, they both just assumed it is someone they do not know
"Who could it be?" Amber arched her brow
"It seems the person do not want us to know their Identity" he said while typing some stuffs on his phone "I just sent the number to Enzo, he would identify the person soon"
"I guess we should wait then" Amber sighed and kept staring at him "Are you okay?"
"I was not a while ago but the fact that I am here made me feel so okay. At least I know where mom is now"
"I don't know what it feels to lose someone but trust me Jacob..." Amber placed his head on her chest "If you are hurting, then I am also hurting"
"Thanks for coming here with me Amber, I really appreciate"
"I told you not to say things like that anymore. There is nothing like Thank you between couples" Amber clicked her tongue
"If you say so then" Jacob grinned.
They were in this position for a while, enjoying the cool breeze and atmosphere until Jacob's phone started to ring
He would have loved to ignore the person disturbing this moment but since it was Enzo, Picking up the call would actually be a great idea
"Hello" He sat up to pick up the call
"Young master, I took your uncle to the hospital just as you ordered"
"Is that so? Did you run a brain test on him?"
"Yes young master but...."
"But what?"
"Your uncle is perfectly okay and even though he has no idea as to why he was brought to the hospital for a Brain test, He seems a little mad"
"Uncle is mad? Why?"
"Because he thinks he had no reason to undergo a brain test. Trust me young master, he is really mad at you right now"
"That's not good" Jacob sighed "Alright, I will make sure I meet him soon" He said and hung up.
"You want to meet your uncle?" Amber asked and he replied with a nod "Then you better get going before it gets too late" she stood up, dusting her clothes but Jacob suddenly grabbed her wrist
"You want to come with me?"
"Me?" Amber pointed at herself
"Yes" he nodded
"Would it be okay for me to come? Would I not make the conversation awkward between you guys?"
"I feel like my uncle would be so happy to finally meet you"

Seated in a secret restaurant which has been rented out, Uncle lewis, Amber and Jacob were all enjoying their meals.
Lewis took a sip from his wine and looked at Amber with a smile "So you are the beautiful wife of Jacob I have always heard about. You are just as beautiful as I have heard"
"Thank you uncle" Amber seems flattered "And you are also handsome"
"You did not have to say that" Lewis Chuckled "You are so humble and kind, I am glad this big guy ended up with someone like you"
"And I am glad this big guy has a sweet uncle like you"
Lewis Chuckled again and looked at Jacob "Jacob, you should be thanking the universe right now. She is a rare type"
"I have a great eyes for wonderful women, don't I?"
"Of course you do" Lewis could not stop chuckling "So you two got married three years ago? I heard you maltreated my nephew"
Amber suddenly choked on her food and started to cough
"Are you okay?" Jacob immediately handed her water
"Yes" she gulped the water and sighed
Once she was calm, Jacob turned to Lewis and sighed
"Uncle, I told you we solved that out already"
"Did you?" Lewis gasped "I am sorry, I had no idea and still brought it up"
"It's okay" Amber cleared her throat "To be honest, I was once a bad wife to Jacob but now I realize that what I did was so bad and I am ready to take responsibilities for my actions"
"You are too nice" Lewis was impressed "Are you an angel or what?"
"Of course she is my angel" Jacob looked at her and winked
"You guys are so lovey dovey. I remember that year when I used to take you to the sauna with me, you are so grown up now"
"I grew up to be a great man all thanks to you uncle" Jacob smiled "By the way Uncle, Enzo told me you were mad at me"
"Of course I am!" Lewis snapped "Did you tell Enzo to take me to the hospital? For a brain test at the worst?! Do you think I have been acting strangely or what?"
Jacob and Amber exchanged glances and immediately darted their gazes to opposite directions
"It's not that" Jacob waved his hand "I am so sorry I told Enzo to do that. I was just worried about your health. You were also involved in the fatal accident and since you are the only survivor, I was so worried about all your organs"
"I spent most of my days in the hospital after the accident, how could you do this to me Jacob? How could you make me go back to the hospital when you know I would hate it?" Lewis said sullenly
"I am so sorry" Amber voiced out "I was so worried about your health so I told Jacob to let you have a medical check up. To be honest we were not only going to do a brain test but we were also going to make sure Enzo take you for other tests too. X-ray test was probably the next"
Jacob looked with his jaw hanging in the air
How come Amber is so good in telling lies without blinking?
Now that is somehow disturbing.
"Well...." Lewis cleared his throat and adjusted his sitting position "Since you are the one who came up with the idea then I am no more mad at you guys"
Both Jacob and Amber heaved a sigh of relief, thankful that he actually fell for the lies
"For a minute I thought you told Enzo to run a brain test because you think I have been spewing nonsense to you about your mother's death"
Jacob gasped softly
Has uncle lewis always been this smart?
"By the way uncle, did you know that Mother was Buried?" Jacob asked
"What are you saying? Your mother was cremated, it was all over the news" Lewis said while chewing
"No, Mom was buried. I went to her grave with Amber today"
Lewis suddenly stopped eating, staring at Jacob with a shockingly look
"W...what?"
"I guess you did not know too" Jacob looked disappointed
"What a joke?!" Lewis banged his hand on the table angrily and stood up "What in the world does Grey thinks he is doing? Why in the world does he think he can keep telling lies"
"The one who has been telling lies is you, not me" Grey Hennessy came in the restaurant with his bodyguards glued to his side
"Father?" Jacob arched his brow.
