Forgotten Romance: Take Me Back To You - Chapter 173

She reported to work at exactly 6 in the evening as per Marcus’ order.

Since she knew how to get to Marcus’ house, she decided to ride the bus since she decided to go to the bank first and foremost. She needs to check her savings account because they will be needing to secure a big amount in hopes that she can bring those guys to the mall tomorrow.

“Huh?” She blinked her eyes not just twice but many times. Is she dreaming? How did she accumulate more than a million in her savings account? Seems like someone deposited an amount in her account accidentally. She needs to check her statement real quick.

Jade went inside the bank and requested a copy of her statement. What kind of discrepancy is this? More than a million? How did it happen?!

As soon as the teller handed her the copy, she immediately reviewed the deposits. What?! She widened her eyes in disbelief.

Since she left the city, Enchanteur Chemicals company continued to give her salary. The company did not fail to release her wage per cut off. Surprisingly, it seems like they’ve been giving her double of her pay.

Who wouldn’t become a millionaire in this case?

Jade folded the paper and placed it inside her bag. It won’t hurt her if she asks Sonny about it.

“You’re 5 minutes late.” A cold voiced greeted the woman as soon as she entered the house.

Ah, the ambiance brings a lot of memories. She smiled within her not minding Marcus’ cold treatment.

Nothing changed, every furniture is on the same place just like before. Only the curtains changed and a few men posted outside the house were added. She never thought that Marcus would ask for security guards knowing that he loves his own freedom.

“Sorry, I needed to drop by somewhere and I didn’t expect to be caught by the traffic jam.” She apologized but her eyes are still roaming around the house. Something seems to be missing inside but she couldn’t figure out what it is.

Few minutes later, Sonny came into view holding a tray with two cups of tea on it.

“Thank you.” Jade muttered as soon as Sonny placed the other cup before her. Sonny nodded in acknowledgement before sitting opposite her. Marcus was sitting majestically at the middle chair while reading a business magazine.

“Why don’t we start this small meeting with you Sonny telling me why I went to Benjamin City?” Marcus started. Still, his eyes are on the magazine.

“Mr. Hanes, you went their to meet Dr. kirei.” Then he handed the project proposal for Paris. “You are planning to expand the business therefore you decided to join their 3 days conference few weeks ago.” Sonny gave him all the details he wanted to hear.

“Hmm…” Marcus reviewed the documents that Sonny gave him. The project proposal seems great but the question now is, was he successful? “Now the problem is, was I able to secure the project with him?” He creased his brows. He was obviously forcing his head to recall.

Seeing how he struggles recalling, Jade immediately opened her bag and took out a folder. “I’m not sure but I think this might help you answer your question.” She placed the folder on the table. “Dr. Kirei gave this to me before they left Benjamin city. I didn’t have the chance to give it to you given your situation. But I didn’t open it, I ȧssure you that.”

Marcus picked up the folder, opens it then read the content.

After reading the content, Marcus placed the documents back on the table then glanced at Jade.

“Now it’s your turn.” He voiced as he leaned his head on the headrest.

“My turn?” Jade didn’t know what he meant.

“Aha… your turn to tell us why the hell did I ended up getting shot.” His voice tells her that he is accusing her of his misfortune while he was in Benjamin city.

“I…” Jade doesn’t know how to start therefore she glanced at Sonny’s direction pitifully as if asking him to save her.

“Tell us what happened, every detail of it. Don’t leave out anything even the tiniest and useless detail, I want to hear everything.”

“T-that…” Jade heaved a heavy sigh. Of course, she needs to filter her story. She can’t let herself be embarrass in front of these two guys.

Jade started the story when they accidentally met until they came back to Z city. But of course, she did not include those steamy moments they’ve shared including the fact that Marcus did his best to court her back.

“Don’t you think it’s a bit suspicious that someone is trying to kill you? And don’t you think it’s too ironic that I came rushing to save you?” Marcus questioned his own action.

“I have one question, though.” Sonny interrupted, not minding Marcus’ question.

Instead of thinking how to answer Marcus’ question, Jade gave her attention to Sonny instead hoping that his question can be easily answered.

“The child who was with you, is he your own child? Like flesh and blood?”

Sonny’s question stunned both of Marcus and Jade. Why is he asking? Jade’s heart started to beat wild.

“Mine.” She answered softly.

“One follow-up question, who is his father? Could it be….” Sonny looked at Marcus.

Jade on the other hand, held her breath. Why the sudden is he asking the obvious? Doesn’t he really know or what? What is his point? Jade couldn’t tell what the man is thinking at the moment.

Marcus looked at Jade as well. Now he’s curious.

“What are you trying to point at, Sonny?” Marcus asked.

“Why don’t we wait for the answer, Mr. Hanes?” Now their attention is fully on her.

She has already decided to keep the child from him for the meantime until he recovers his lost memories. It will be easier for him to accept the child as his own. But now that Sonny is asking, will it be okay to tell him the truth?

Now she’s perturb!
