Lena couldn’t help but smile. The lovebird completely forgot about him. She quickly replied,’ He left as soon as Ann left.’

She put her phone down after few minutes of no response, then she faced Jimmy. They continued with the wedding preparations. They looked very excited like they were the ones that are gonna get married.

“Aunt Lena with the way dad and aunt Sharon are behaving, I’m very afraid they might never get married. Should we do something to make the wedding preparations faster?,” he asked.

Lena thought of it and smiled before nodding then she glanced at Jimmy suspiciously. “Are you sure you are seven? Where do you get all the ideas and nonsense from?,” she asked him with a suspicious look.

Jimmy smiled nervously and said,“Aunt, what do you think? Don’t have weird thoughts okay? And I’m not seven… I’m seven plus.”

Lena chuckled,“What is the difference? The number is still the same. Seven… Seven plus… The numbers are the same.”

Jimmy shook his head sideways and said,“No…. No aunt. They are not the same. The plus is the difference. So it is seven plus not seven. Don’t forget to add the plus next time.”

He smiled sweetly. Lena also smiled and pulled him closer. She hugged him and he hugged tightly. “Jimmy, your smile isn’t sincere. Is it about your mother? Are you missing her that much?”

“Hmm…. Yes, I miss her everyday. Mom always had a sweet smile on her face no matter how sad or angry she felt unlike aunt Sharon who is always growling at me like an angry mother bear,” he spoke out.

Lena burst into laughter. Angry mother bear huh… She will make sure to mention that to Sharon. She wanted to say something to make sure Jimmy doesn’t have any prejudice against Sharon.

But she suddenly heard him speak again. This time so quiet. Very quiet that she almost didn’t hear.

“But I love the two of them the same way. I love Mom cause she didn’t leave because she hated me and Tia. I thought that was why she left us and dad,” he told her.

Lena smiled sadly. ‘Jimmy, you just won’t understand. What happened to Amber was bound to happen. It happened to mom and dad too. Jasper was just so lucky to escape the accident. But he wasn’t so lucky cause he lost his legs. I don’t understand who would hate us that much,’ she thought.

“Then why do you love Sharon?,” she asked him and he hurriedly shushed her.

“Aunt, don’t say that out loud. Aunt Sharon will surely tease me when she hears that,” Jimmy told her and she giggled.

“Jimmy, why don’t you practice calling her mom now so it won’t feel weird after the wedding?,” she asked him softly.

“No, I don’t want to. I feel uncomfortable calling her mother,” he confessed. Lena pat his hair and asked,“Then why do you love her? Why do you love Sharon?”

He was quiet for a while that Lena was beginning to worry that he had actually fallen asleep. “I don’t know,” he answered. Lena was stunned before insisting,“There must be a reason why. There must a reason why you love her. Are you shy to tell me?”

She said the last statement with a teasing tone. “No, I’m Jimmy Madon. I’m never shy,” he retorted.

“Then tell me why. I need to know,” she replied.

“I love her because she loves Tia. I love her because she treats Tia like her own baby. I love her because… because even if she acts mean or grouchy to me, she looks at me like mom always looked at us,” Jimmy said and Lena looked completely confused.

“How? How does she look like your mommy always look at you?,” Lena asked puzzled. This Jimmy is surely not a seven years old boy. The way he talks… The words he say confuses her that is even adult.

Jimmy sighed and said,“She looks at me with so much love in her eyes. I can feel the affection in her. At least she doesn’t look or act the way that weird doctor Ann acts.”

Actually he didn’t say the last statement out loud. He said it in his mind. Yes! Ann looks at him like she can see the key, the prize that will connect her to Jasper. She is aware of how much Jasper loves his children.

So if Jimmy could at least grow a bit of affection for her, then perhaps Jasper might start noticing her in a rom-ntic way.

“Aunt, do you think that is why dad also love Aunt Sharon?,” Jimmy suddenly looked up at her.

Lena shook her head sideways and answered,“I can’t say. He is the only one that can answer that.”

Just before any of them could say a word, they suddenly heard that familiar scre-m followed by loud cries. The two of them sighed. Apparently, that is Tia’s way of saying I’M-AWAKE-WHERE-IS-EVERYONE?

Lena quickly rushed to her room followed by Jimmy. As soon as they got there, they discovered that Tia actually woke up cause of her dirty diaper.

Jimmy’s face contorted into a disgusted look as he watched her change Tia’s diaper on the baby changing station.

“Eww!! How can this small baby Tia pump out smelly stuff like this poo from her bum,” he said as he covered his nose. He even made a type of gasping sound.

Lena rolled her eyes at how dramatic he is acting. “Shut up. This is how we also changed your own smelly diapers. Your butt wasn’t even as fresh as Tia’s,” she told him.

Jimmy immediately scre-med and held his small bum. He glared at Lena and said,“Aunt! I can’t believe you just said that in front of Tia. What if she tells my future girlfriend or girlfriends?”

Lena rolled her eyes as she carried Tia up. The baby now smell sweet. She giggled as Lena cooed at her.

“Shut up Jimmy. Tia doesn’t even understand what we said. Make sure you dispose her dirty diaper,” Lena teased him. His reaction was clearly worth it.

He gasped, looked at his beautiful hands before looking at the smelly diaper. He immediately turned around and ran out. “Aunt, you are so mean! I’m not gonna talk to you anymore!,” he shouted as he ran out.

Lena laughed as she picked up the diaper herself and disposed it. She then walked to the kitchen, washed her hands and prepared Tia’s milk. Not frozen br-astmilk o. So as soon as she tried to give her the milk, Tia just spat it out and cried.

Lena sighed. This small baby is very cunning. This is clearly her way of saying, I- DON’T -WANT -THIS -FAKE -MILK…. I -WANT -MAMA’S -NATURAL -MILK.

Lena just carried her and walked to Jasper’s room. She mentally apologised if she might interrupt somethings… Hmm… Anything. And she was absolutely correct.

******

“Do you want to sleep?,” Jasper asked as he pats Sharon’s hair lightly. “Yes, of course but how can I sleep when you are hugging me so tightly,” she answered.

“There is nothing wrong in hugging my fiancee,” Jasper replied shamelessly. Sharon rolled her eyes.

“Hey, Mr Man… Sorry, I mean Mr nation husband, you didn’t propose to me. I don’t have any ring so don’t call me your fiancee,” she retorted.

Jasper wanted to hit himself. “Goodness! I can’t believe I forgot to get you a ring. Let’s pick rings together,” he sat up and pulled her up without even asking for her opinion.

Jasper immediately fetched his iPad which was just on the bedside drawer and he opened the shopping app on it. He quickly skimmed through the rings categories.

Finally he settled on a beautiful but not eye-catching diamond ring. He showed her and she instantly fell in love with it. That was until she saw the price.

She gasped and asked,“Are you crazy? I can’t go around wearing a ring as expensive as that. No, I don’t want it. Let’s choose another one.”

“I’m the one paying for it. Not you so why are you complaining? What is so bad in letting my wife have the best of things?,” he mumbled. Cause he was looking at the iPad, he failed to see the blush and the way Sharon looked at him so softly.

An hidden emotion in her eyes. What’s that? Is she staring at him the same way she looks at Jimmy? Hahahaha, very funny.

“But the ring is too expensive. I can’t let you buy something as expensive as that for me. The guilt won’t let me enjoy wearing it,” she told him.

“But the ring is too expensive. I can’t let you buy something as expensive as that for me. The guilt won’t let me enjoy wearing it,” she told him.

“Don’t feel guilty. I can’t let you wear inferior things. The nation’s husband wifey shouldn’t be looked down on by other people,” he told her.

Sharon blinked back the stupid tears almost spilling out. This is stupid but she actually feels touched. When Aiden had gotten her a ring, she was extremely grateful that he got her something simple.

After their breakup, that night…. No one knows about this but she actually google searched the prize of the ring.

Imagine her shock when she found out the ring was a fake. A fake ring! He actually thought so low of her. As if he knew she would accept anything as long as it is from him.

He really played with her emotions well. He thought of her so low that… that he couldn’t find anything else but to propose to her with a fake ring.

She couldn’t control her emotions so she burst into tears. Jasper looked at her feeling suprised. He quickly dropped his iPad not even caring where it landed as he rushed forward to pull her into his warm embrace.

“Ssh… Sssh… Stop crying. What did I do? Is it about the ring? Hey! Stop crying… Wifey…. Don’t blame me. That was the least expensive ring I saw,” he tried to pacify her.

This is the first time that she has ever received such genuine kindness. That too from someone she doesn’t expect it from.

Jasper felt totally helpless. He is completely clueless on how to pacify a crying woman. He doesn’t know how to pacify her but he knows that his heart tugs painfully with every sad sound she makes.

“Thank you… Thank you,” she cried as she clung onto him. Jasper was puzzled. Why is she saying thank you for making her cry?

“Will you please stop crying now?,” he pleaded as he planted k-sses on her hair. “I can’t stop. The tears just keep coming… I don’t know why,” she cried.

Jasper felt like if she doesn’t stop crying, he might soon join her in the crying game. Just then Lena knocked and walked in with the wailing Tia.

Jasper was stunned. Please you two just stop crying! His ears are gonna burst soon. Lena looked at the crying Sharon then at Tia. Did this two plan it?

“Brother, why is sister in-law crying? What did you do to her?,” she asked Jasper who shivered when he saw the deathly stare she is giving him.

Hey! Don’t look at me that way. I’m innocent.

“I did not do anything. I was only showing her our rings and she burst into tears. I swear I didn’t tell her anything,” he said with a sincere look.

“Sister in-law please stop crying. You shouldn’t be crying in your condition. Get well first,” Lena said as she walked closer to the bed.

Sharon nodded and Jasper immediately gave her a handkerchief to wipe her w-t face.

“I’m sorry I made you worry. I was just grateful,” Sharon told Jasper with a cute pout. Jasper immediately pleaded,“Next time when you are grateful, show me with a k-ss instead. No need to cry. I almost had a heart attack.”

Sharon looked at the cunning man. k-ss… What a stylish way to ask for a k-ss? She just ignored him and turned to Lena.

“Please, bring baby here. Thank you for taking of her,” Sharon said and Lena gave her the baby.

“Sister in-law, don’t talk that way. I’m just doing my job as a good aunt,” she answered.

“You are welcome to leave now,” Jasper immediately dismissed her rudely. Sharon and Lena glared at him.

“Shut up,” Sharon told him before turning to Lena,“Please, I’ll have to trouble you again. Don’t let that little brat go to bed on an empty stomach. I’ve realized he falls asleep easily. Let him eat something before going to bed.”

Lena nodded to indicate okay with a smile. As she turned around, she thought of it. Was this what Jimmy was talking about? Sharon is one of a kind. She couldn’t imagine anyone else other than Sharon as her sister in-law.

As soon as Lena left the room, Sharon cooed at the baby but Tia didn’t stop crying. “Hmm… Seems like she is hungry. Jasper would you please help me pull off my shirt so I can feed her,” Sharon requested.

Jasper swallowed as he nodded even though she couldn’t see him. He gently help her remove her shirt and couldn’t help but wish this was happening in another situation.

You know? That situation whereby the couple want to do some sensual stuff. I don’t want to go into details. That time is gonna come.

Jasper stared as one of Sharon’s plump and beautiful b**bs escaped from her b-ra. His eyes bulged as he watched Tia who latched her tongue tightly on the n*pple and s-cked it quickly.

He couldn’t help but wish he is the one s-cking the beautiful pink n*pple instead of Tia. Sharon looked at him when she noticed that he is silient. She surely wasn’t expecting to see the strong desire in his eyes.

“What are you doing? Jasper, why are you staring at my b**bs that way?,” she asked even though she already know the answer.

He looked at her and just spouted what came into his head,“Let’s get married tommorow at the registry office.”

“What!!?,” Sharon was shocked by his request. What is he saying?

******

Alex stared at the phone. So many minutes have passed but he is still staring at the message. He walked to the window of his penthouse and stared the busy city below.

He has everything he has ever wished for but why is there this empty space in his heart? What is the thing that he has been hoping for, wishing for, longing for but can’t have?

He closed his eyes and immediately opened them when he saw his old self been beating by Ben all because of her. Just because of her. She didn’t leave his heart all this while.

She stole his heart and now there is no place to occupy another woman. He knows she and Ben separated due to some unknown reasons but where is she? Where has she escaped to?

Does she know… Does she remember that there is this one person that would never ever stop loving her?

He looked out with determination in his eyes. He has enough influence now to find her and ask her out properly for a real relationsh¡p.

He brought out his phone and immediately typed back. ‘Boss, I need your help. I want to search for someone. I need to find a missing person. That is my only request.’

He laughed as soon as the phone showed sent successfully. He could have requested for something much more better. Something that is worth it but he would rather look for her than acquire something he doesn’t need.

“Alice, wherever you are, I’m gonna find you and bring you here. I’ll show you the haven I have carefully built just for the two of us. I will pursue you properly this time without any hindrance,” he mumbled as he looked out and down at the fast moving cars.

********

Meanwhile somewhere in the same city, Alice rolled and tossed on the bed. She finally sat up with frustration in her eyes. Why the heck is it difficult for her to sleep tonight?

She walked to her mini kitchen and took out a cup and made coffee. She drank it and thought,“Really, Janiece… Why this night of all nights? Why did you suddenly develop insomnia tonight?”

She drained the cup and walked to the tiny room next door. She walked into the room and went to the bed. She smiled as soon as she saw him sleeping so peacefully.

She brushed his raven black hair and k-ssed him softly. He slowly opened his eyes and murmured,“M..Mom.”

She smiled and hugged him as he stretched his hands towards her. “Baby, go back to sleep. Mom didn’t mean to wake you up.”

“I love you Mom,” he said before falling asleep.

“And I love you too. You are my little hope. The one that kept me going all these years. Go sleep honey and have sweet dreams,” she told him.

Seriously! I’m gasping in suprise… A boy child! A freaking child! Alice has a child! A secret child apparently. Will the mysteries in the story ever end?

She put him back to sleep. Now that I’m looking closely at this boy. He should be like Jimmy’s age or just a little bit younger than Jimmy.
