Chapter 71

**Philippines-Pop music playing**
 One of Jacob's hands gently held Freya's hand as he drove towards where Yael and Diana were. They have already visited Jackson and are now currently being watched by the police.
 "Do you still plan to file a case against Kuya Jackson? Tito Ramon has already withdrawn the cases he filed. I'm just asking because there are policemen guarding outside his room." Freya glanced at Jacob's face. She didn't speak for several minutes.
 Jacob questioned his wife back "If you are asked, will you still sue him? What he did had a bigger impact on you because you witnessed Yael's growth. You've been together through ups and downs. Whatever you decide, I am going to respect it.” He tightened his grip on Freya's hand.
 "I will think about it. Right now I'm still a bit confused. He did everything to save me but he also did everything to harm our son. Let me weigh it." Freya removed her hand from Jacob's grip but her husband immediately grabbed it as well.
 A few minutes of silence passed. Both Freya and Jacob were thinking.
 'Why am I feeling like this? A bit awkward. It's quiet when it's just the two of us in the car,' Freya thought. Set and Hulyo were supposed to be with them in the car but the two groups chose to ride Don Vandolf’s car so that they could talk.
 When Jacob noticed that Freya looked troubled and sad, he broke his silence. "How are you? Are you still scared?" he asked.
 "Eyes on the road." Now, Freya's thinking about her Tito Ramon. She missed him. She forgave him and now, she couldn't understand why he still chose to run away. In fact, she is even grateful to him because he was able to save Yael from the brink of death.
 Jacob bit his lip and quickly turned to Freya.
 "I said, eyes on the road." Freya was surprised when Jacob suddenly kissed her hand that she had been holding while she was looking at the road. Somehow, the heavy weight she feels was somehow reduced.
 "Are you sad because of Tito Ramon?" Jacob stopped the car.
 "How did you know?" Freya wiped her tears. She didn't see it coming.
 "Because... I'm your husband?" Both of Jacob's eyebrows rose. "Come here." Freya just looked at him.
 "You need to drive. Our son is waiting for us." Freya looked away.
 "I won't take you to our son's place until you feel better. We've been separated from him for a long time and as his daddy, I don't want him to feel sad when we meet. It's the first time we'll be together, right? I want it to become memorable." Jacob grabbed Freya's waist. Now he hugs her. "I know I can't take away the sadness you feel right now but…let me give you my warmest hug, wife. Let me comfort you the way I know how."
 Time seemed to stand still. In an instant, all of Freya's sadness gradually melted away. "Is this what they call magic?" she whispered.
 Jacob laughed. "Love. That's called love." Freya smiled at what he said. He removed his embrace from Freya and kissed her on the forehead. "I missed that."
 Freya frowned.
 "I miss your smile. You don't know how powerful it is. It can change my mood swiftly…literally. Do you remember when I got mad at you in Florida and then you just smiled at me? It's like I transformed from Squidward to SpongeBob," said Jacob.
 Freya laughed. "Your smile is just the same. It's bewitching...even your hugs, kisses and words." She suddenly kissed Jacob quickly on the lips. She laughed again when she saw his husband’s reaction.
 Jacob's cheeks were red as he held his lips. He just stared at Freya who was now laughing at him.
 "I'm sorry. I couldn't help it…What are you doing?" Freya smiled when Jacob suddenly wrapped his arms around her neck as his eyes darkened.
 Jacob gradually brought his face closer to Freya's face. He looked into her eyes and then slowly lowered his gaze to her red and soft lips.
 "Papa and your men have passed us. You need to get back to driving. Hin—" Freya's eyes widened as Jacob suddenly kissed her.
 'I fucking miss you, wife! You've worried me too much!' Jacob's fiery tongue slipped inside Freya's soft, ravishing mouth. She kissed him back.
 The two stopped kissing when suddenly police cars passed by. Their sirens were so loud that they were surprised. They looked at each other and later both burst out laughing.
 "I told you, eh! Just drive." Freya touched her lips. She opened the car window and breathed in the cool breeze.
 "It’s too tempting," Jacob whispered.
 Freya heard that.
 "Wife." Jacob's face suddenly became serious.
 "Oh?" Freya stared at Jacob's face. She couldn't figure out why Jacob seemed to be doing more in front of her, whether she was smiling or not.
 "Our next kiss will happen in front of our loved ones," Jacob said.
 "Ha? No! Don't do it. It's embarrassing for them! Jacob, I'm warning you! Don't ever kiss me in front of mom and dad," said Freya.
 "We're married, Freya. It's normal." Jacob got something from his bag. "You forgot to wear this," he said.
 Freya's eyes widened. She immediately looked at her husband's hands.
 "I'm sorry. Actually, I thought that I had misplaced it. Where did you find it?" Freya immediately took the ring from Jacob's hand but her husband also took it back. "Hey!"
 Jacob parked his car again. He opened the window.
 "What will you do?" Freya asked, confused. "Shít! Why did you throw that away? It's our wedding ring!" She was annoyed as she looked at Jacob.
 Jacob didn't answer Freya's question. He turned on the engine again and sped it off. He looked at Freya. The anger was obvious on his wife’s face.
 Freya crossed her arms and looked away from her husband. She couldn't believe her eyes! Jacob threw away something really important to her...to their marriage.
 They have reached the mansion but they are still silent. Jacob opened the door for Freya. He was about to hold her hand when she suddenly walked away from him.
 "I guess she's really mad. Well, it's part of my plan." Jacob smiled before chasing his wife. He can't wait to hug and hold his son, Yael.
