"So, you are Jack."
When he had her words, Jack let out a smile as he replied. "That's me Aunt."
"You look no different as the time that I saw you on the video." Anita continued with a smile on her face. And although she was trying to hide it well, Jack could already perceive that she was feeling sad.
This was something that didn't surprise him because he knew that his appearance reminded her of her sister. Having been separated for over two decades, it was just normal for her to feel sad after knowing the fact that her sister had passed away already.
As for Anita, she completely ignored the gaze that she was receiving from her husband. As for the girl who had come over to cause trouble, she had never taken him seriously at all.
According to her, the guy was just going to blubber around her before he finally leaves empty handed. She had never thought that the person was really going to take whatever she had in possession at all.
Perhaps this could have taken place if Jonathan was not around. But now the Johnathan was back, she wasn't afraid that there's anyone who could beat him. This was the confidence that she had in her son.
"Come and take a seat." Anita smile as she stood up from her seat and welcomed Jack.
Jonathan on the other hand had a shift in his expression. He couldn't talk but think that this was just too much. Weren't people just favoring Jack too much? Not to mention Celine, even his mother was now favoring Jack?
All the same, he decided to put that aside as he decided to focus on the person that had come over to cross trouble. This was something that he had to deal with as soon as possible so that he could get rid of the foul air that was in the house.
"Since you are not welcome here, why don't you leave?" Jonathan asked coldly as he looked at the long nosed guy.
"What do you mean that I should leave? Not to mention that I am your senior, and I am here to pay a visit, I have just asked you a question but you have not answered." The guy sneered.
But all the same, he was no longer arrogant as he was before Jack and Jonathan came in. This was such a drastic change because he knew the position that he was in was not favorable as long as Jonathan was present.
With Jonathan's abilities, it was a sure bet that the family elders would not there to try causing trouble for him considering that he was someone who had a good chance of taking over the position of the family head.
Someone like Jonathan was very valuable to the family considering that the elders were nearing their end. They had been in the position of the family elders for a good while now.
They were supposed to have abdicated their position during the past generation. But due to Anne, They were left with no choice but to continue holding the position so that the family rules could be followed to the latter.
"I don't think I have any obligation to answer to any of your questions. And since I have stated that you are not invited here at the moment as we are going to deal with something private, I would like to ask you to leave." This time, As Jonathan spoke, he had a threatening days fixated at the guy.
The guy, although he thought that Jonathan would not actually there to make a move on him, he had no choice but to get on his feet.
To say the least, he was intimidated by Jonathan. Jonathan was well known in the family as the person who usually used his fists if there was I need for him to.
Knowing very well that Jonathan was well versed in combat abilities, he had no intention of trying them out himself. Although it was true that the family rules would protect him, that was only if there was evidence that proved that he was the one who was at the receiving end and not the other way round.
The fact that he was currently present in Jonathan's house was enough to make him at a disadvantage during the judgment. What was he doing there if he was not invited?
There was yet another fact that, he was only a single person while inside this room, there were four people who were not on the same side as him.
With a snort, he left after glaring daggers at Anita and Gregory. As for those who are the receiving end of the glaring, they completely ignored him.
After the guy left, Gregory could not hold it anymore and asked Anita. "Do you mind introducing me to this guest of ours?"
"Oh, I never thought that you are interested." Anita, Who was just chatting with Jack shifted her gaze towards him as she spoke sarcastically.
"What do you mean that I'm not interested? What part of me shows that I'm not interested?" Gregory asked as he looked at Anita with a stern gaze.
"Alright, I'll do the introduction." Anita rolled her eyes at him before she looked at Jack. "Jack, this is your uncle and my husband Gregory. Gregory, this one here is Jack. He is my sister's son."
Jack got to his feet and extended his hand for a greeting. Gregory received the hand and shook it. At the same time, he looked at Anita and asked, "By your sister, do you mean Anne?"
He knew about Anne. During the time that he was dating Anita, Anne had yet to leave the family. He had met her several times and they had made an acquaintance.
"How many sisters do you think I have?" Anita questioned.
Although he had a hunch about this, Gregory was completely surprised. He looked at Jack and he could see the semblance that he heard with both Anne and Anita.
"And where is Anne?" Gregory asked.
"Well, she passed away about 4 years ago." Jack replied. He said all of these plainly without showing much of emotion.
"Oh, I'm sorry to hear that." Gregory stated after noticing that he had touched on something that wasn't supposed to be talked about.
"No problem at all. It has been a while and I've already gotten used to it." Jack replied.
After that, Jack engaged himself into a long talk with what Anita and Gregory. They talked about a lot of things as they tried knowing each other.
Jack came to know more about them just as they came to know about him through the questions that he gave answers to. But of course, there were several things that he didn't reveal to them.
It was not like you had to say anything or had to reveal any secrets that he had to them simply because they were related. There are things that even Celine didn't know about despite the fact that she was his wife to be.
Jonathan on the other hand couldn't help but sulk on the coach as he looked at the three people who were engaged in a conversation.
They were talking and laughing at each other while completely ignoring about his presence as if he never existed at all.
His lips couldn't help but twitch at that. In the end, he could only check his head before he got up and headed for his room that was located on the second floor of the mansion.
After about 30 minutes of chatting, Gregory finally bid his good-byes as he left for work. He had a lot of things to do considering that there were several things or businesses that were under his management as a son-in-law of the Jesda family.
This was something that all the sun-in-laws that were married into the Jesda family had. They were given several businesses that were under the family for them to manage.
But of course, this was something that was not done blindly. Only those who had capabilities were the ones that were given the opportunities to keep more.
If one of the son-in-laws was just a wastrel, then, he might end up with nothing at all. This was just how the family worked.
On the other hand, after Gregory left, Jack continued spending time with Anita. He chatted with her and discussed a lot of things concerning his mother.
It seemed that that after Gregory left was when Anita had gotten a freedom to ask about her sister. She could finally show her saddened emotions.
In the end, Jack spent the whole day there. It seemed that Anita had enjoyed his company because he reminded her of her sister.
When it was evening, Anita had wanted Jack to stay over but Jack refused. He still had other things to do. Additionally, there was a round trip that he had to do with Celine for her training schedule.
Left with no choice, Anita could only agree. "You should remember to pay me a visit more often." She stated as she looked at Jack who was standing at the door ready to leave.
"Don't worry aunt. I'll make sure to pay you more visits as long as I am free." Jack replied with a smile on his face.
"Okay then, have a safe trip." Anita stated.
After that, Jack who was accompanied by Jonathan who was grumpy left the mansion. They got into the car and Jonathan drove away.
…
Somewhere else in the Jesda manor. Two men were facing each other. One of them was the long nosed guy and the other was a man who looked to be in his late forties.
"So, you are trying to tell me that there is another person other than Jonathan?" Nathan asked as he looked at the long nosed guy.
At this moment, his expression wasn't good at all. He was currently under house arrest. This denial of freedom was something that he never liked at all.
Now only people could come to see him and not the other way round.
