Your Turn to Chase Me, Reborn For Revenge - Chapter 156

“I mean it had crossed my mind. But that would be your call.” Joseph felt a little shy, which wasn’t like him. He could be in a business meeting and be under heavy fire with his employees and not feel as unnerved as he did right now. “So what do you think?” He added.

April wasn’t sure if he was teasing or if he had really gone next door and bought a whole house just to keep her close by, so she asked”About moving next door? You already bought it, didn’t you?”

Joseph answered honestly, “Yes.” He had hoped she wouldn’t be annoyed by his presumptuous tactics at keeping her close by.

April giggled, “Okay.”

“You said yes!” Joseph beamed at her response. His gamble had paid off, he was overjoyed with her response.

“You’re surprised?” April smiled at his behaviour, she wasn’t aware that she had impacted his life so much that he would buy a whole house just to stay close. Is this what family is, she wondered.

She then added, “I love spending time with you and I don’t want to move far away from my family. Moving next door would be the most sensible option.”

Joseph slapped his knee, he was delighted, “Great. The old goat, I mean Mrs Sheridan is moving out in a week so you can go and view it then. Let Robert know what needs to be done and he will get everything ready.”

“You have thought of everything.” April smiled, he had really everything sorted it seemed like she only had to agree to it.

Joseph then added, “I was excited and didn’t want to miss the opportunity.”

“Well you can tell Robert that he can remove the boundary fence, one huge garden sounds perfect. We can come and go as we please that way without having to go through the front door all the time.” April wanted to be part of a family unit and whatever made Joseph happy she would do.

“I leave you both alone for ten minutes and you both have planned out my life.” Dean’s melodic voice came from the side. His tall and broad body leaned against the gazebo’s pillar.

Both April and Joseph jumped at the deep cello voice that came from beside them.

April smiled and she felt slightly guilty for planning their future without him “Are you mad?” She questioned.

Grandpa Joseph saw that the two would need some alone time. He was smiling on the inside though as he knew April wouldn’t go back on her word and Dean would be easily swayed by her. He got up and excused himself, leaving the two alone in the garden.

Dean then joined April in sitting in the gazebo and replied, “At you never.”

“What about living next door?” April asked sheepishly, she leaned against his arm and held on to it. He was warm and he gave her comfort just by being near her.

Dean thought for a moment and glanced around. It was peaceful and quiet, April felt at home here. It was what he was looking for so he replied honestly, “Well it’s not ideal and yet it is. We will have less privacy but also you will have more company and I will feel at ease because you have family here so it will be safer.”

“I had also thought that. It will be handy too after the baby comes, we will need help. Babies are a handful and…” April was on a rant of all the positives but Dean cut her off before she could finish.

“And we will need babysitters nearby,” Dean announced. He wanted the baby and April to be safe and the more people around her the better. His uncle and her step mother was still a huge problem.

“Babysitters?” April questioned.

“Yes, we still need us time. I have seen far too many relationships fall apart after a child comes along and that is because they forget to still keep the spark alive.” Dean added. he didn’t tell her it was for her safety because he didn’t want her to stress or worry about the negatives while she was pregnant.

“I don’t worry about that, I love hard and love for life. I won’t give up that easily either.” April reassured him, she didn’t worry about her future with Dean. He was grounded, loving and affectionate, he was the complete package. There was no wavering from a man like that.

“Good, me too. So we are in agreement.” Dean gave a small laugh, yes he loved her and would never leave her side.

“Agreement?” She glanced up and saw the warm honey flecks in his eyes sparkle. She felt the need to poke his dimple.

“Yes to forever,” Dean added, he thought that this was now the second small proposal he had done in a few days. He should really start thinking of the next step. He didn’t want his girlfriend to have his baby, he wanted his wife to be having his baby.

“I thought we had already settled that but yes.” April then answered. She had more in this life in regards to friendship, relationships and good fortune in her career than she had ever dreamed of in her past life.

“Let’s go inside, it’s getting cold.” Dean then guided her inside his grandfather’s house. He wanted alone time but now he had something to plan. He wanted to return to his office so he could do so in privacy.

Meanwhile, in the five star Fitzwilliam Hotel Rachel and Lucy were staying in the penthouse together. They were both in the living room of the large penthouse suite and the butler had just served them some champagne.

This is where they had stayed ever since they had left the Davis house.

“I have to admit this is better than that idiot man’s house,” Lucy said as she sipped her champagne and lounged on the sofa.. The view was beautiful and it overlooked the whole of the City.
