Jason remained silent, looking at his Grandfather who refused to say any other word as he struggled to get a grip on himself. The ambiance of the room was entirely engulfed by a sudden tension that refused to leave, causing everyone to feel this awkwardness creeping into their bodies while they barely even looked at each other. “What happened afterward, Grandpa?” Jason became impatient waiting to hear the rest of the story while his Grandfather sighed softly before he continued. “Everything went back to normal, and I thought I was not going to see her or the boy again until after five years when someone started to show up here, and even seemed to be following David around. At first, we felt that the strange occurrences were just mere coincidences until David started to receive threat notes slipped inside his car and sent to him as parcels. The sender threatened to kill him for taking what was his.” “David told me about the threat messages he was receiving, and we decided that

Hearing the suggestion the Butler made, Jason and his Grandfather began to give it a thought instantly. But while Jason was considering it as a good idea, Lord Walker was struggling with himself to make up his mind. “Grandpa? I think he has a point. We should definitely get to him before he gets to us. He sounded really dangerous, and we have to be very careful.” Jason said with a low tone, and then he turned to look at Harry. “Get the boys ready, Harry. We are going to find him before he comes to us…” “No!” Lord Walker said at once, causing Jason to look at him with so much curiosity written all over his face. “No, Jack. Don’t for that…” Lord Walker at once. His utterance caused Jason to widen his eyes in shock, wondering why he made such an utterance.“Why not, Grandpa? He poses a great threat to us.” “Because…” Lord Walker paused for a few seconds while Jason kept his eyes on him, waiting to hear the rest of what he intended to say. “Why Grandpa? Why don’t you want us

Harry handed over the phone to Jason who demanded it almost immediately after he was done with the call and texted the address of the glasshouse to Julian. “You have done well, Harry,” Jason said, and then he turned to look at Lord Walker who looked dissatisfied with the way the call ended. “What is it, Grandpa? You don’t look too happy.” Jason took a step closer to his Grandfather, wondering why the old man looked so troubled. “We didn’t get to know what he wanted to say. I think he needed something from me. Maybe he needed me to get him something. I think he might want some money to get fresh clothes, or even get something to eat. I wonder how he has been surviving ever since he got out of prison.” “Escaped you mean?” Jason said with a smirk on his face. He kept his eyes on the old man who stared at him for a few seconds without being able to say a word in response to the things he said to him. “You shouldn't be worried about a grown man, Grandpa. I am sure that he had pla

Jason looked at the red card his Grandfather handed over to him. The design captivated him, and he admired it for a few seconds before lifting his face to look at his Grandfather who was waiting to get his attention. “What is this, Grandpa?” Jason lifted his face to look at Lord Walker who chuckled softly, and remained silent for a few seconds before giving him a response. “That’s a premium rose card, Jack.” “Premium rose card?” Jason returned his gaze to the card while his father nodded to affirm his words without discarding his smile. “What’s this used for, Grandpa?” Jason expressed the ignorance and curiosity that lingered in his mind while Lord Walker scoffed at how naïve he thought his Grandson was over things like that. “You really don’t know what a rose card is, Jack?” “Am I supposed to know what it is, Grandpa?” “Probably, you should have heard about it at least.” Lord Walker hoped that Jason was going to give him a positive response, but when he shook his head t

In less than two minutes, Jason was done with his meal, and he finished all the water in his glass before he stood slowly and pushed the seat backward with his right leg. “Rose? I have to go now, I need to be somewhere soon.” Jason said while he looked at Rose whose countenance changed slightly while she dropped the fork she was eating with on the plate, and sighed softly. “Are you okay?” Jason asked at once, but before Rose could give him a response, he was able to figure out the reason behind her mood change. “This is about the painting, isn’t it?” Jason nodded when Rose expressed a look that confirmed his word. He took in a deep breath which he let out slowly, and when he was certain that he had Rose’s attention, he continued with a smile on his face. “I am sorry we couldn’t do the painting today, but I promise that we are going to do it some other time, that’s a promise.” Rose sighed almost immediately and nodded her head in agreement while Jason chuckled softly. “To
