Meanwhile, as soon as Jason got out of his Grandfather’s room with Brenda right behind him, he shut the door while staring at him with a smile on his face, and then he sighed softly. “I am sorry he had to make you take me to the kitchen.” Brenda apologized at once, not sure of what to deduce from the neutral expression the young man had on his face. “Oh no, you don’t need to apologize. My Grandfather can be really insistent when he wants something and this is one of those instances. Having known him for a while, I have learned how not to give up when I want something.” “Really? How so?” Brenda her arms with a curious expression on her face, staring at Jason who chuckled softly before giving her a response. “Let’s just say that he never gave up on his search for me even when it seemed like it was taking forever, and there was literally no hope of finding me. Eventually, he did, and I have learned that with time, hard work pays off.” Brenda stared at Jason as soon as he was do
As soon as the Chef was out of sight, Jason turned toward the cabinet and moved closer to it with a few steps, but Brenda was still staring at the door until Jason realized she was a bit absent-minded. “Are you okay?” He asked with a low tone, looking at Brenda who snapped out of her thoughts at once and turned to look at him. “Yeah, I am fine. Did you notice that?”“You mean the Chef?” Jason retorted at once, and Brenda nodded in response. “Yeah, she didn’t seem happy that you were trying to do her job…” “That was very obvious. But I will return her kitchen to her once I am done here.” Brenda said with a low tone, and then she sighed with a smile on her face. “Don’t worry, she will be fine. Just do what you are here for, I am sure that Grandpa will be done eating soon, and he will be waiting for you.” “Right. I will just get that…” Brenda moved closer to the cabinet, dropped the black coffee on top of it, and grabbed the kettle with both hands. “Let me help you with th
Jason chuckled softly, and then he looked backward for a few seconds before he returned his gaze to Brenda who was still waiting to hear what he was going to say. “Today is the first day of the week.” “Okay? What about that?” “We agreed that we were going to go on a date this week, right?” “Oh, you remember?” Brenda had a neutral expression on her face while Jason gave her a curious stare. “What is it? You don’t seem excited about the date.” “What? That’s not true, I am excited about it.” “Then why does your face say a different thing?” Jason took one step upward, and then he waited for her to join him with his eyes staring inquisitively at her. Brenda climbed up the step and turned to look at Jason who was still waiting to hear what she was going to say. “I just don’t want to get my hopes high, Jay.” “Oh.” Jason was speechless as he wasn’t sure of what to say to Brenda who looked into the cup as though something had entered into it. “So are you saying that you a
Lord Walker took another sip from his cup of coffee, and afterward, he dropped it on the saucer and cleared his throat to draw the attention of Jason who was staring at the door with a smile on his face. “Whatever you are about to say, Grandpa, I don’t think I am interested…” “But you haven’t even allowed me to talk, Jack.”“That’s because I know what you are about to say.” Jason retorted with a tone laced with so much certainty while he looked at the old man with a smirk on his face. Lord Walker sighed heavily, and then he pointed to the chair in front of him with his index finger. “Take a seat, Jack.” “Grandpa, not this topic again.”“Just take a seat. I need you to listen to what I have to say. I am certain that it’s going to make sense to you. Just take a seat.” Lord Walker urged Jason with a bright smile on his face while his eyes showed signs of deep concern. Left with no choice, Jason took in a deep breath, and after he had exhaled sharply, he moved toward the sea
Seeing the Butler in so much panic, Jason was forced to stand up immediately from his seat while he looked at him walking slowly into the room with the tension on his face still intact. “What is it, Harry? What’s the emergency?” Jason asked at once while Lord Walker waited anxiously to hear what the Butler was going to say. For a few seconds, Harry was busy with his attempts to catch his breath, but the other men in the room had become very impatient, and they couldn’t wait much longer to hear what he was going to say. “Speak, Harry! What is it?” “I am sorry, Lord Walker! But it’s Julian! He is out of Prison!” “What?” Lord Walker gasped in shock, and because he couldn’t handle the situation so well as a result of his body which was still recovering, he went into a panic attack. “Grandpa! Are you okay?” Jason quickly rushed to grab him before he could fall off his wheelchair. “Lord Walker? Lord Walker!” Harry hurried toward the old man at once, but Jason was already stand
For a few seconds, the Butler was silent while Jason kept his eyes on him, waiting to get a response to his question. Harry remained silent for a while, but Jason could tell from his countenance that it was really going to be difficult for him to give him a response, and even if he did, he wasn’t going to like the response. “Harry? Say something.” “I am truly sorry, Young Master. But I think it would be best you hear the response from your Grandfather. I hope you understand.” The Butler’s voice was very calm while he bowed halfway with his hands clasped in front of him. Jason stared at him for a few seconds, and then he let out a soft smile which was followed by a nod. “It’s fine, Harry. I totally understand.” “Thank you for your understanding, Young Master.” Harry bowed again while Jason turned his face away from him to look at Lord Walker who had already fallen asleep, and his breath returned to normal. “I think we should let him sleep now. Maybe we will come back at n
UNEXPECTED CALLER For a few seconds, Jason admired the beautiful outfit Rose had on. He looked at her with a smile while she had her eyes on the baby just like the chef who walked in a few seconds later. “You look lovely in that dress.” Jason complimented, smiling at Rose who looked at herself as though she didn’t know the color of the dress she was putting on. “Thanks.” She said with a whisper, and then she returned her gaze to the baby whose focus was still on the show he was watching. A few seconds later, Jason’s phone began to ring, and he looked at the screen to see who was calling while Henry whimpered because the call had obstructed what he was watching. “I am sorry, Henry. I have to take that call.” Jason slowly grabbed his phone from the table, and then he stood up from the seat while carrying the child on his right shoulder. “May I?” Rose offered to help with an exciting smile on her face while Jason stared at him for a few seconds before he nodded and handed her
For over ten seconds, Jason waited to hear a response from Rose, but she remained silent, her eyes saying a lot of things and her lips slightly separated from each other. “You know you are going to have to talk to me, Rose. That’s the only way I am going to be able to know what is wrong with you.” Jason said calmly, still staring at Rose who sighed softly with her eyes looking at him. “I miss her.” She said with a tone laced with so much despair, she blinked severally in order not to let out some of the tears that were gathered up in her eyes, ready to trickle down her face. Jason sighed softly after confirming the reason behind Rose’s gloomy face. He had already figured that she had been thinking about her missing sister but wanted to be certain that he was correct. “Listen to me, Rose…” He lifted Henry who was attempting to grab his phone from the table, and then he placed him on his shoulder, patting him on the back while he kept his eyes on Rose. “I made a promise to you
