One last time - Chapter 329
Jones Mansion
Tightening her grip around his hand, Liza sighed, “I really dont think this is a nice idea Jackson.”
Wrapping his arms around her waist, he said, “You are gonna be fine, we will just stay until lunch and leave immediately.”
Looking at him, she asked, “Aren’t you worried that I’ll kill your sister in your house?”
Leaning towards her, he whispered, “Well, we have a big yard and I also have a very nice shovel.”
Liza chuckled and was about to say something when someone squeezed in between them.
Bending down, Jackie lifted Ethan in his arms and smiled, “Hey champ, ready to meet you grandparents?”
When Ethan smiled and nodded his head, Liza smiled and fixed his hair, “Remember what I have told you okay? Dont—”
Cutting her off, Ethan snapped, “Dont leave mommy and daddy’s side.”
“Yes, our Ethan is such an intelligent boy,” Liza chuckled.
After rescuing Ethan, Liza and Jackson took him home with them until the police manage to find his parents or anyone related to him. During the entire course of time, there were multiple people who claimed to be his distant relative and came up with weird stories of Ethan being mentaly challenged but Jackie and Liza were clever enough not to fall for those tricks.
To make sure that everything was okay, they insisted on taking a DNA test first to confirm the blood relation between the claiming party and Ethan. But whenever they mentioned the DNA test, the party would either back out or never show up again which made everything even more suspicious.
“If I behave, will mommy take me to meet aunty Silvia?” When Liza smiled and nodded his head, Ethan gave her a peck on her lips and grinned. He then hooked his arms around Jackson’s neck and said, “Let’s go in daddy.”
Jackson chuckled and guided both of them inside the mansion.
…
Inside the mansion.
“Will you stop already? My head hurts only by seeing you move her and there Jerry,” Grandma Jones complained.
“Why isn’t he here yet? Isn’t it time already? Is he planning to not come at all?” Grandpa Jones whined, he had invited his son over for lunch along with his girlfriend but it was almost lunchtime and they were nowhere to be seen.
“They will be here soon and how will your whining about it again and again help? It’s not like they will magically appear or something. You know how your son is, if he says that he will come that means he will definitely be here no matter what happens,” she explained. She understood why grandpa Jones was acting so weird and nervous. After the revelation and the return of Sabrina along with George, Jackson had left home and had never stepped foot into the mansion ever since.
Grandma Jones knew that her husband missed their son a lot and partially blamed himself for whatever had happened in the past. She still remembered how excited he was after coming back from the banquet where he saw Jackson with a woman. He had also made sure that everything for today’s lunch is perfect and he also supervised it personally.
Just then Jackson entered the mansion along with Liza and Ethan.
The sight of his son holding a child made the old man’s heart melt in joy. After the heart wrenching demise of Matilda Brown, he had given up all his hope on Jackson starting a new family of his own. But now when he had finally moved on, grandpa Jones left very relieved and happy.
“Ahh there you are, your father was about to crack the floor with all his right, left and front back pacing,” Grandma Jones chuckled.
Placing Ethan down, Jackie gave his mother a hug. “How are you mom?’
Caressing her son’s face, she smiled, “After seeing you all happy, I am perfect now.”
Placing his hand on Liza’s back, he said, “Mom she is Liza my—” he stopped midway and gave Liza and ‘I don’t know what to say’ look.
Pinching his waist, Liza turned towards grandma Jones and smiled, “I am Liza, Jackson’s girlfriend. He is always very reluctant to use the word ‘GIRLFRIEND’ because he thinks he is very old to have one.”
Grandma Jones chuckled and said, “Well, maybe he won’t be this reluctant once you become his wife.”
Picking up Ethan in his arms again, Jackie added, “And this is the cutest member of our family, Ethan.”
Pinching his cheeks, Grandma Jones smiled, “That is such a lovely name, I am sure that Ethan and Grandma will have a lovely time, right handsome young man?”
“Am I getting ignored here? Will I be graced with the lovely opportunity to meet my daughter-in-law and grandson?” Grandpa Jones frowned.
Jackie chuckled and gave his dad and hug before introducing Liza and Ethan to him.
After a few minutes, both Grandma and grandpa Jones completely forgot about Jackie and Liza and kept on coaxing Ethan.
“I think they love Ethan more than us,” Liza chuckled.
Jackie sighed and helplessly shook his head, “They always do this, you know when Silvia was small they used to play with her non-stop, especially mom. But after Silvia had to leave they became very lonely, it’s nice seeing them all happy and cheerful again.”
“So you finally decided to forgive all of us and come back.” Walking towards them, Sabrina added, “It’s good that you came back, mom and dad missed you alot.”
When both Liza and Jackson ignored her, Sabrina pursed her lips and made her way towards her parents and Ethan.
When Grandpa Jones saw her, he frowned and snapped, “What are you doing here? Didn’t I tell you not to come out of your room?”
“I just wanted to meet my big brother, is that wrong?” Sabrina retorted.
“You—”
“It’s okay dad, just let her be,” Jackson interjected, he didn’t want to create any kind of scene in front of Ethan so he decided to let Sabrina be.
Looking at Ethan, Sabrina frowned and forcefully grabbed his chin. Before anyone could say anything, she lifted his t-shirt up, revealing a red eagle shaped burn mark which was hardly visible.
She was about to touch it when someone grabbed her wrist and twisted it.
