Your Turn to Chase Me, Reborn For Revenge - Chapter 154

Back in the living room, Bernie had excused herself to go finish breakfast and Sam followed her to give the young couple some space.

April felt less self-conscious sitting on Dean’s knee when they were alone. She snuggled into his chest, “So are you okay with the news?”

“Okay? Are you nuts? I’m over the moon with our news. Our wee family is growing.” Dean smiled and replied. He had so much to get ready for now. They had to find a suitable home and resolve their internal family issues.

April smiled but saw his facial expression change, she knew his concerns as she felt them too, “About Rachel and my mother’s death, do you think we will find out anything. It’s been so many years since then?” April asked.

I will make a phone call today to a private investigator, he is very good at his job. Don’t worry we will solve this.” Dean reassured her.

April nodded, “I have a phone number for my mother’s friend. Maybe she knows something, I was going to ring her today.”

Dean kissed her forehead, “Okay but don’t stress too much. It will all be okay, nothing buried ever stays buried for long.”

April nodded, he was right fate works in mysterious ways after all they had both been reborn to get another chance in this life. She smiled, “Everything happens for a reason.”

Dean agreed with her, “Yes and I was very lucky to get another chance to love you.”

“Dean, you say got another chance but we only met the one time.” April gazed up at his honey brown eyes as she asked.

“We only met once but once was enough for me. I kissed you on the forehead that night and kept an eye on you. You seemed happy so I didn’t interfere but now I wish I had of taken you with me that evening. Why where you living in that small and damp apartment?” He know could get the answers he wanted from her so he didn’t hold back.

“You kissed me, when?” April asked, she was surprised that he had kissed her and she had never known.

“While you slept on the sofa,” Dean replied simply as he kissed her forehead again.

“That’s assault.” April teased back.

“Yes, it is.” Dean laughed.

“I moved out of my father’s house because I had got into a row with Lucy and James had said he had somewhere for me to live. I foolishly thought he was being kind till I moved into the apartment. They had moved me out of the house so they could take advantage of my father’s money and steal my mother’s paintings.” She was exasperated at herself for her own stupidity in her past life.

Dean saw her furrowed brows and he smoothed out the creases with his thumb, “Don’t frown so much.” He scolded.

He hated that she had loved another man, though he doubted it was love it was more like brain fog. She couldn’t possibly have loved James the way she now loved him.

April looked away from him, she felt ashamed of her past self, “Thankfully I have learnt my lesson and stopped this all from happening again. James and Lucy don’t even seem that close in this lifetime.” She shared with Dean.

Dean frowned, “Stop saying other men’s names in my presence especially that imbecile.” He despised James for his part in April’s downfall in her past life.

April rolled her eyes, “So possessive! Well, I’m sorry to tell you but I will be meeting with him next week at Walker Interiors to go over his home renovation.”

Dean smirked, “Oh I know.”

“You do?” April enquired, “How do you know?”

“He asked Casey for you in particular so Casey informed me. Michael will be with you during your meeting.” Dean announced.

April laughed, “Okay fair enough, it’ll be an eventful meeting then.” She could only imagine what Michael would do or say to James.

She thought of Aarna at that moment and remembered she hadn’t told Dean yet about her pregnancy, “I forgot to tell you Aarna is pregnant too.”

“Really? I will have to phone Zane and congratulate him. That will be nice you and your friend both pregnant together.” He said.

“Yes, we can go shopping, talking about friends I will go phone my mother’s friend.” April then stood up and Dean got up with her.

Bernie came out of the kitchen at that moment, “Breakfasts on the table.”

“Looks like I will ring her after breakfast,” April said, she noticed then how hungry she was and she checked the time. With so much going on it was now late morning nearly the afternoon.

April and Dean then walked towards the kitchen. Dean noticed his grandfather and Robert appear behind him so he asked, “How was your walk?”

“Eventful.” Robert quickly answered and he wiped his brow. He felt like he had just been used by the old man.

Dean was confused and looked at his grandfather for answers, “Just what have you been up to?”

“Nothing, he is being dramatic,” Joseph answered as he frowned at Robert.

He didn’t want to Dean to know what he had just done. He would tell April on her own and she could convince that grandson of his what is best for the family.

In the kitchen they had all sat around the table and enjoyed a full home cooked breakfast. Bernie had made scrambled eggs, fried eggs, bacon, sausage, potato bread and soda bread. April had helped herself and felt full afterwards.

She made a cup of tea and excused herself to the garden to ring Marie her mother’s friend, she sat at the gazebo and searched for her number and rang it.

She was nervous and didn’t know where to start or what to say. The phone then connected and she heard a female voice say, “Hello?”

“Hello, my name is April Jones.. Is this by any chance Marie Wisdom?” April asked nervously.
