"What about us? We are married aren't we?" Xavier asked confused as to where his grandfather was trying to go with the question. "Oh I see you want to keep your grandfather in the dark don't you?" "In the dark?" Xavier could not be more confused. The words and the sequence of everything his grandfather was saying did not make sense to him. "I know that you and Jessica have decided to be a real couple," Dawson says and it finally dawns on Xavier what he had been trying to say. "The kind that can give me great grandchildren" he adds in a whisper. "Dawson?" Jessica draws out in a warning tone. "What?" Dawson said casting her a look. "I mean it is what I had always wanted so it's like a dream come true. Jessica I leave my dreams in your hands please do ensure that they come true" he added again. Jessica bent her head in embarrassment. She wanted the conversation to be over soon. "Is the doctor coming soon? We need to get Genevieve settled in so she can run some tests and start tre
After Ross successfully accessed Genevieve and handed her over to ten nurses for extra tests he invited Xavier in. "The serious expression on your face tells me that there is something wrong" "I guess you know me too much for my good then?" "I have known you since I was a child. You were the one who pronounced my mom dead and a little while after my dad" Xavier said. Ross was stunned, this was the first time that Xavier was bringing up his parents. Maybe time does really heal wounds. Maybe he was finally growing up. Maybe his wife had an impact on him. He did not know what it could be but he was grateful that it seemed like he was healing.After the burial of his parents, Ross had suggested therapy for Xavier but he never opened up and never was able to get the help he deserved. He watched him go from a lovely nice young boy to a closed up shell. "So what is up?" "Well, I always hate to be the bearer of bad news but I am a doctor and a doctor has to do what a doctor has to do"
"What took you so long? Shall we go?" Jessica asked Xavier immediately after he entered the room. "Yeah," he said absentmindedly. "Dawson, I'll see you soon, I'll come visit," she said as she walked to the door. "I know you will" Dawson teased and Jessica rolled her eyes at him. Xavier Walked out of the room without uttering a single word. Jessica knew from the expression on his face that something had gone wrong. She wanted to ask but she did not want to be seen as pushy. "Isn't Genevieve going with us?" "No, she still has a lot of tests to go through and it might take a while. I have phoned home and they will send a driver to take her home" Xavier replied. "Oh okay," she said when she could not think of anything better to say. She was glad he was still responsive. She did not know what to do or say to him to make him feel better. They entered into the car and Xavier began to drive. She hated the silence in the car. He had acted all flirty when they were on their way there bu
Jessica watched as the car rushed into the street and got lost in the numerous cars. She felt her blood boil and she gritted her teeth. How dare he drop her off here? She called a taxi and it took her to the restaurant for the first part of work she could not concentrate as her mind kept going back to Xavier. Although she was pissed at him she could not help but worry about him and why his mold suddenly changed. Her phone chimed on the table. She has been trying her best to curate the perfect menu for her restaurant. It was Xavier and he was asking for his lunch. Her eyes flew up to the clock. It was an hour left to lunchtime. She stood up and then sat back down when she realized. Why was he demanding lunch after the way he treated her this morning and yet his text had no atom of repentance in them? She found the nearest restaurant to his office that did delivery. She ordered his meal and asked it be delivered to him and told him to pick up his lunch from the front desk because sh
"I am sorry, I mean I should not have passed out my frustration on you when it was obvious that you only wanted to help me out. I was just overwhelmed" he said and she froze. Nope, she was not expecting him to apologize so easily the way he just did. "What was the matter?" she asked. "Am I forgiven?" "If you tell me what happened I can decide" "If you come over I will tell you everything and even more" he added the last part in a whisper. "I am actually busy now, we will see later at home," she said trying to play hard to get. She was not going to bend to everything he wanted because she liked him. "Then I will come to you," he said. "No Xavier," she said dropping the earlier formal tone she had taken up with him. "I am really busy and I am sure you are too so let us work hard now and see you later at home" she added. "But what do I do?" "About what?" "I miss you so much that I want to see your face immediately" "Hold on," she said taking the phone away from her ears. She
Olivia finally plucked her courage and climbed up the stairs. She looked around hoping no other person was up there. She rubbed her palms together as they were sweaty. How did she think of doing such a thing? If only Jessica had given her what she wanted in the first place. What she was doing was a criminal offence but she rather spend a night in the police cell than spend a day with those moneymongers. She shook in fear and opened the first door she encountered. The room was covered in darkness. Her hand roamed try wall beside the door to see if she would find the wall switch. She did and then noticed the room was empty. She switched off the light and shut the door behind her. She wanted to turn back and leave but the thought of what those men could do to her or Jessica pushed her to get what she needed. She just needed to either find his room or a study to ensure that she got something she needed. A checkbook or a document containing his signature which she could forge would be w
Olivia stopped in her tracks and turned to face Roselle who stood with hands on her waist. What was she going to say led her into the room in the first place? What was she searching for in the drawers and then in the closet? She knew she was going to get caught today. It was her first time doing something of such and she was caught? And then some would say bad luck was nonexistent. "What are you doing in here?" Roselle said again. "Erm, I came in here to get something from Jessica that was originally one but I did not find it," she said as she tried to walk past the woman who had used her whole frame to block the doorway. "Please next time just ask the young lady to give it to you," Roselle said. "What do you mean by that?" Olivia said pretending to be angry. She was glad that her lie was bought but she needed to play the part to the end. "Jessica is my niece. So are you insisting that I can not get something that is mine from my niece?" she asked as she prayed within herself th
Jessica left the restaurant extra early because she could barely concentrate on what she was doing and she knew that Xavier would be there to pick her up even though she protested against it so vehemently. She went straight to the grocery store. She was going to make a special dinner tonight to substitute for the missed lunch with Xavier today. She went ahead to get extra fancy seafood as she was going to be making a seafood platter and pasta. When she had gotten the seafood she unfortunately ran into Emma at the checkpoint. Unlike the other times she had met Emma where she had this high-defense today, she was looking low and even smiled at her. "Hey Jessica," she said as she walked closer to her. "Hey Emma" Jessica replied. She did not want to talk to her but she did not want to be rude either. "Did Xavier tell him that I ran into him? It was when I went to the hospital for a check-up. The doctor said my little one was not stable so I had to get rid of it" she said trying to gai
