Chapter 554: Chapter 554 - 554 Grandfather?!

554 Grandfather?!

“I have something important to tell you.”

“About what?” Amaira raised her brows in confusion to which Ryan coughed, “It’s about me.”

“Earlier, we decided that Javier will come from abroad and I will accompany him until his work is completed. Now that it’s done, it’s time for me to go back from where I came.”

Amaira’s eyes furrowed as she listened to him. Why was her heart not listening to her commands? She felt abnormal and his twisted and mysterious words overpowered her, willing to not talk, “Are you talking about going back to... abroad?”

“Yes. At that time, I got a job offer from one of the best companies after graduating from the university. However, because of my promise to Javier, I didn’t apply for the same. But since Javier has already avenged his mother’s death and everything appearing to be normal, it’s time for me to go back there...”

Ryan’s gaze didn’t tilt from Amaira’s face. He wanted to know how she would react to this. Was he wrong in predicting that there might be a tinge of feelings left in her heart for him? He doesn’t know but a sudden glimmer of hope was ignited in his heart on viewing her twisted brows

After a while of silence, Amaira regained her senses. Recovering from the daze, she lifted her eyes in a cautious manner, “Are you stating that you will be leaving soon?”

“That is an option,” Ryan told without holding back. He took a step in her direction, and to his disbelief, she didn’t step back from him anymore. He almost came to her face without diverting his attention to whisper in her ears “Only if you want me to go back...”

At this point, Amaira’s face flushed with blush. She watched her eyes glued with his to find him staring fiercely. His gaze held thousands of meanings and it was making her mind go on runs!

.....

“Y-You...w-what are you talking about?”

“You already know what I am talking about, Amaira.” he intentionally pressured her name which made her heart skip a beat. She was in turmoil, almost going to hit the floors if not for her steady legs.

But recovering from her dizziness very soon, she retreated a step back. Yet it didn’t stop Ryan from coming closer and finally her solid back collided with the cold walls. “Why is my permission required? It’s your life, your rules should work on it.”

Ryan smiled at her words and the smile reached up to his eyes, “It should. That’s why I am asking you. Are there any chances or not? If not, I will move back. But if there are then...” Ryan stopped midway to find her losing her breath.

Her red face somehow gained his amusement. He voluntarily stepped back from her, but she stood as a statue stuck to her place, “Don’t answer me right now.” he told with a clear loud voice, “Take time. But not an eternity since it is already known to you I don’t like to wait for too long, especially when I have done it till now.”

With each step, Ryan moved back until Amaira’s eyes caught his back in her sight. Subconsciously, she brought her left hand near her chest to take a deep breath and stop her heart from going crazy from such sudden proximity.

His voice was ringing in her ears but she didn’t want to give up so easily. She traced her eyes to look again, she found him out from the lobby and understood his meaning.

‘Do I want him to stay or not?’

...

While happiness was glooming under one roof, there was havoc created in some distant kingdom.

King Richard stood in the garden where the flowers were blooming. The huge garden was filled with different species of flowers, birds chirping and butterflies sitting on sunflowers. This brought a short smile on Richard’s face. ‘How wonderful it would have been if you were here my love....’

Yet his thoughts were crashed in the middle when he heard the sound of footsteps. Turning around, he found his eldest son coming in his way, “Father.” he bowed and King acknowledged the same, “What brings you here, Arthur? I thought you were in the city while managing your company?”

“I was their father, but...” Arthur paused and raised his head. His shiny blonde hair matched his sister and their eyes were both in crystal shape. He was an inch taller than King Richard but his aura was much more easygoing as compared to the rest of his brothers. “I brought some information for you and others.”

King Richard nodded his head. “I think I will be pleased after hearing this.”

Arthur didn’t say anything until he opened his tablet and got the information out, “It is about our beloved sister.”

“Hmm. I heard she’s back in Johnson’s estate, isn’t she?” King Richard once again turned to view the faces of the flowers as the the wicked smile was now filled with genuineness in them.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

“She’s back there but that ain’t all.” Arthur finally confessed his real motive and how he had his hands on the now known status of his sister, something they failed to track for so long

Arthur sighed, not knowing how his father would react to his piece of news. But recalling his father’s joy on hearing that Ava was alive, he believed his father would be able to stay strong and accept.

“Ava..I mean Jennifer is actually married to Johnson’s son, Javier Johnson. He is the same man who kidnapped her from her wedding with Lucas. Currently, he is looking forward to his mother’s business, The Andersons. They are living in an apartment for now before moving into the main mansion.”

“Is that all you’re here to tell me?” King Richard voiced without turning his face. Yet his words held no amusement, unlike the last time.

Arthur cleared his throat to finally confess the details, “It is found that Ava is pregnant with twins...Javier’s children. Congratulations to you and everyone, we are going to be uncles and you’re going to be...”

“....grandfather.”
