Then Comes Spring When Winter Ends - Chapter 128 Wishes

Heather was feeling excited but at the same time she had a very uneasy feeling, like something big is about to happen. She had been keeping an eye on the Lee couple but her men could not trace Derek Lee. However, records showed that he went to the States for some business deal. She shrugged the matter off. Time passes by quickly and it was already the day of her big event. She was planning to threaten all the head clan and keep them in locked down to unite all the clan under one, under her. Hahaha. She laughed out loud. Her people had already managed to held hostage most of head clans’ people dearest to them. Tonight will definitely be a success. She will display her power and might and shut those people who claims she is unworthy down.

Jade had also made plans, she held an auction for the past few days to clear out her gallery under the pretext of the gallery is acquiring a huge shipment and needs to clear the gallery for space. She then shut the gallery door close, the public believes that the gallery must be sorting out the new shipment and can’t help but be excited to attend the gallery once it reopens. Jade gave her staffs a week holiday off, while her assistant resume his duty as her shadow guard.

Derek was also in an elated mood, lady luck finally decided to take his side and he could only be grateful about it. Finally, he sighed in relief. Wifey, I am coming home soon, I will do my very best to stay safe. At the back of his mind, he is a little worried because things has been going too smoothly. He quickly pushed away those negative thoughts. He doesn’t want to jinx his current good luck.

Jade informed April and Chris regarding her meeting with Lee Han Ping and they wanted to tag along. Jade is determined for them to stay away. She doesn’t want to cause them any mishaps. The siblings wanted to ignore her and stubbornly wanted to brave this nightmarish situation with her but Jade objected strongly.

“Listen to me, we are family, because we are family, I do not wish to see any of you get hurt, I don’t want to go through what Derek went through, the guilt of surviving in the expense of a love one. Such cruel fate, I don’t want to experience it nor I want any of you to experience it. I only hope that you guys stay safe and pray for mine, Derek and father’s wellbeing. Plus, if anything were to happen, I still have you two to help out, but if we all enter the battlefield and all of us defeated then who is left to defend the fort? Plus April you are expecting as well, I am so happy, I am going to be an aunt to two adorable little people. Chris, you are getting married soon, you don’t want Jen to be broken hearted on your wedding day right? This is my battle, something I need to face. Okay? I love you guys. I know you guys have my back” Jade said as she hugged the two of them.

“Sis, ever since, we decided to be a family, you have always been around to be our pillar when we needed it and it is only right for us to be with you in your time of need. You are the reason our family is together. ” April say pleadingly hoping for Jade to change her mind. Chris nodded in agreement.

“In all honesty, we gave each other a second chance in life to be a family. We made our choices, we took our chances and our gamble paid off. Life is all about choices, and now is my wish that you two stay out of this meeting. Its dangerous but I am not alone. Father is accompanying me. Just trust me, okay? Plus Derek left me with a lot of reliable and skilled men. Don’t worry. I need you two most once the ordeal has pass.” Jade spoke with conviction to convince them.

Finally the two relented and they left her in her gallery pondering about tonight’s meeting. Father had also been tense and unease. She did not know how to calm him down. Father was trying to persuade her not to join the meet up tonight but Jade was stubborn on this matter as well. “I had provoked the man and caused him to be cornered. He wants me around. Plus, you are my father, even though by marriage, the feelings and warmth you have given me, is the only fatherly love I know of, how could I abandon you at this moment. I am a Lee now, let me share burden with you.”

They both then hugged each other tightly. Hubby, I miss you. I am sorry if I don’t fulfill my promise but I can’t let father face this alone. I love you and I really miss you. Tonight is the deciding night. You stay safe, okay? I miss everything about you and I really hope you are doing fine. Your men reported to me that you’ve been making some progressed and may finish up soon. I hope my present for Heather will help you in getting to her. Hope to see you soon, if not in this lifetime maybe the next one?
