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
Jason stared at Rose who pleaded to carry the baby, and he gently handed him over to her while she smiled at once, discarding the previous look on her face. “Careful so that you don’t wake him.” Jason grabbed his phone from the dining table while he watched Rose and the baby. “Yeah,” Rose whispered as she gently carried who cooed while he slept. She placed him on her shoulder, and then she turned toward the exit of the dining hall while Jason started to walk toward the exit as well. “Come with me,” Jason said with a voice a little above a whisper while he went ahead of her. He ascended the stairs, and then he walked through the hallway, giving Rose a short distance while they headed to Henry’s room. He opened the door the moment he grabbed the handle, and then he left the way for Rose to walk in slowly while she carefully held onto the baby with both hands. “That way,” Jason whispered, pointing at Henry’s cradle which was positioned by a corner of the room, and Rose quickl
Jason stepped aside at once while Rose walked out of the room and shut the door behind her. She had a bright smile on her face while she looked at him. “Thank you for bringing him upstairs with me.” “It’s nothing, your son is so adorable. Anyone would definitely want to carry him.” Rose retorted at once, nodding to affirm her words while Jason smiled at her. For a few seconds, none of them said a word to each other while Rose stood in front of the door looking at the floor as though she was searching for something. “Do you have something that you do? I mean, do you have any hobbies?” Rose discarded the silence, her tone almost sounded like a whisper, but it was audible enough for Jason to hear. “Hobby?”“Yes, hobby. You know? Like playing tennis, fishing, gaming, or even eating.”“Eating! That’s so funny.” Jason chuckled at once, his eyes still staring at Rose who was glad that she was able to tickle his fancy. “Yeah, I suppose you haven’t met anyone whose hobby is eatin
The road that led to the mall was free with just a few cars driving through it, and in less than twenty minutes they arrived at the mall which had a multitude of cars parked in front of it. “We are here.“ Jason announced while Rose was busy looking out through the window beside her. She eventually turned to look at Jason who gestured to her to unbuckle her seat belt which she did almost immediately after struggling with it for a few seconds. “Let me help you with that…” Jason extended his hands toward Rose when he realized that he was finding it a bit difficult to unbuckle the seatbelt, but before he could get to her, she was able to unbuckle it. “Alright, shall we?” “Yes, I can't wait.” Rose nodded excitedly, looking at the talk building in front of them which had several people tripping in and out of it. “Let’s go.” Jason quickly opened his door and alighted from the door while he rushed to the other door and opened it for Rose as well.“Thank you.” Rose chuckled as she j
The mall attendant pushed the trolley through the hallway while Jason and Rose followed behind him, giving him a distance of a few steps. “Can you go to your right? Please, Nelson, to the right.” Jason pointed to the right which led to another section of the shopping mall. “But that’s the way to the cashiers’ desks,” Rose said with a low tone, trying to remind Jason just in case he had forgotten. At that time, Nelson had to stop instantly, while he waited to hear what Jason was going to say afterward since Rose seemed to be reminding him of something. “Don’t worry, I want us to get some other things.” Jason smiled softly, looking at Rose who nodded even though she seemed a little bit confused. Turning to look at Nelson, Jason nodded, giving him a go-ahead gesture to move to the clothing section of the mall. Slowly, Nelson wheeled the trolley, and Jason turned toward Rose whose eyes were already gazing at him. “Come on, Rose.” He gently grabbed Rose’s hand, without letting
While Jason drove back to the Villa, Rose was unable to take her eyes away from him while she maintained the evergreen smile on her face. Jason didn’t realize that she had been staring at him until he decided to check if she was alright after realizing that she had been quiet ever since they went into the car. “Are you okay, Rose?” He asked calmly before returning his eyes to the road, but after waiting for a few seconds without getting a response from her, he returned his gaze to her with an inquisitive look on his face. “Rose! Are you here with me?” “Mmh? What?” Rose quickly snapped out of her drift and cleared her throat before speaking with a tone laced with a little confusion. “Sorry, what did you say?” “You were gone for a while, awkwardly quiet since we got into the car. I was asking if you were okay.” “Yeah, sure. I am perfectly fine.” Rose nodded to affirm her words even though she didn’t sound convincing enough. “Are you sure? You seem to have a lot of things
