Forgotten Romance: Take Me Back To You - Chapter 161

He was actually happy that Jade have been close to him the whole day but he can’t still help but be bothered by her unusual actions. It’s not like her to stay beside him and be so friendly all day.

It was too unbelievable!

Something isn’t right and it probably have something to do with that man who keeps on shadowing Jade the whole day.

The disgusting man had been eyeing his beloved!

It was not hidden to Jestoni that Jade and Marcus might have known each other before but he couldn’t tell what their relationship is. He only hopes that he is not the man whom he is thinking— the man who got her pregnant. Cross-finger!

Though Jade had been with her almost all day, he couldn’t help but remember what he said this morning. How he wanted to asked her about it.

The man had been wearing Pajama as well, so it’s possible that it was Jade’s pant.

Thinking about it, he clenched his fist into a ball and looked at the man from a distance. His eyes were filled with disgust.

How can this man use Jade’s things as he pleases? He’s acting as if he is Jade’s husband!

As for Marcus, he was looking around searching for Jade when his eyes came in contact with Jestoni. Seeing the disgust in his eyes makes him raise his brows in sarcasm. He could feel his evil intent but he doesn’t have the inkling to retreat.

He wanted to annoy that man who was called Jestoni even more. He was able to see how he fancies his wife but he never intends to back down either.

They were staring at each other intensely, no one wanted to give up. This is a battle of the will.

They could have stayed having a staring contest for hours but good thing, someone from Jestoni’s crew interrupted the battle.

“Sir, something happened and we need your decision!” It was the female head of the kitchen crew who came to see him.

“What is it?” He asked as soon as he retreated from the staring contest. He hates to retreat first. But what can he do? The situation seems urgent.

Marcus, on the other hand, smirked triumphantly while watching the guy crumbles his face in defeat while following the fat woman walking away.

“Huh, loser!” Marcus mumbled. He then looked at his wristwatch, it’s almost six in the evening and dinner time is seven. Since there are no other things to do, he decided to explore the area. Who knows he might bump into Jade somewhere?

He smiled at the thought.

He’s been walking in circle but he didn’t see Jade’s shadow. He was about to go back to the tent designated to him when his eyes caught a way up to the hill. He looked at it for a few minutes thinking whether to check that side or not.

He wanted to check since the hill seems to be a good spot if you want to see the whole town from up above. It looks like a good place to rest as well.

Isn’t it dangerous? He was thinking about the pros and cons when he suddenly remembered what the old woman said yesterday. Her daughter went to the hill.

Could it be that the daughter who she was pertaining to was actually Jade?  A ray of hope penetrated his heart and it gave him the energy to start trekking the narrow and rocky road.

It did not take him 15 minutes to reach the highest point which was facing the whole town.

He breathes a sigh of relief as soon as he saw the beautiful scenery below. On the top of the hill, one can see the beautiful, vast horizon.

He can even see Benjamin City from a far.

He’s been into many places but this one can be his new favorite beside Switzerland. It’s just too pure, too innocent and too refreshing to believe that a place like this exists in the planet. He thought that he already visited all the beautiful places in the world but this moment only proves him wrong.

His hair started to dance with the wind and the coolness of it seems to be penetrating his soul as well. Ah, so refreshing! He never had a refreshing break for a while and he never thought he would enjoy his vacation in the poorest region of the country.

Too ironic.

The refreshing view almost made him forget the time. Good thing he heard a woman’s voice from a distance. Jade? He paused so he could hear where the voice is coming from.

He followed the sobbing voice and he was led to a very secluded area, not far from where he was standing a while aback.

And as soon as he steps towards a big rock, a figure suddenly came out of the blue and shocked the hell out of him.

“Ahh!” Both screamed in shock. Then their eyes met.

They were both frozen and rooted to where they were standing.

Jade never thought she would meet Marcus at the hill. Is it really Marcus? Or was she dreaming? was it her imagination?

She was visiting her deceased daughter’s grave and telling the story of how she met Marcus—the twin’s father in the city, but he never thought that she would come to see him face to face at the moment.

Oh no! Jade suddenly covered her mouth, shock, worry and fear is visible in her eyes. She got mix emotion at the moment but one thing she wanted to know is if the man standing in front of her was the real Marcus.

She unconsciously raised her hand towards the man then poke at the man’s right cheek. She was not satisfied at poking him only but she pinched his cheek as well.

“Ouch!” As soon as she heard the man yelped in pain, she jumped in surprise and staggered backwards. With her sudden action, she didn’t see the rock behind her and stumbled on it and was about to lose balance.

“Damn!” She unconsciously curses as she closes her eyes preparing for the fall. However, instead of hearing a loud thud on the ground, she felt a big hand that pulled her. She then landed onto a seemingly hard wall.

Marcus! Her eyes widened in disbelief while leaning against the man’s ċhėst.

“Are you okay?” Marcus asked worriedly.

“I-I am…” She immediately pushed the man away as she straightens her body. Her face turned red in embarrassment. She couldn’t even look at him in the eyes.

“Thank you…” She shyly muttered. “What are you doing up here?” She tried to be as casual as she can

“I got curious about the path so I followed it. I did not expect to see you here either. Are you with someone?” Marcus tried to look past her as if looking for someone. “I heard you talking to someone…”

Jade, once again, shuddered in fear. Did he see the grave? Did he possibly hear all the things she said?

No…No… He must not go that direction! I must do something… Jade was thinking of away on how to avert Marcus’ attention.

She can’t let Marcus go that way because he’ll discover one of her secrets.. Once he sees the grave, he will surely know that the grave belongs to their deceased daughter.
