Chapter 327 Oneida stood rooted to the spot, her gaze fixed in Jacksonâs fering figure. Just then her phone started to ring The shrill tone echoed throughout the empty hall, winding particularly grating Oneida dido pick up at Brit. After a momentâs pause, she finally pulled her phone out of her pocket. On the seen flashed the number belonging to Samuel Samuel was her unde. Truth be told, she hadnât seen any of her cles in quite some time. These three ureles of hers were always jetâsetting, too caught up in their busy lives to get together. So most of Oneidaâs interactions with her uncles took place over the phone, catching up in brief chats Of course, Onida hadnât shared the latest drama of her life with thern. If she did, knowing their temperaments, theyâd probably show up on her doorstep, ready to stand up for her in an instant.
But now. Samuel calling could mean he was just checking in on her like he always did. Oneida tapped her finger on the screen, accepting the call.
âIdaâ His deep, distant voice came through the phone, tinged with a pleasant raspy quality.
âUncle Samuel, Oneida called out to him without even thinking.
Samuel instantly noticed the distracted tone in Oneidaâs voice and frowned, asking, âWhatâs wrong? Whoâs made my Sweet Ida upset?â
Oneida responded with the same nonchalance she always had, preferring not to unload her burdens on him. âNothing... just feeling a bit tired.â
âTired, you say...â Samuel mused, his voice tinged with concern. âWell, what are we to do, Ida? I had planned today...
Hearing this, Oneida immediately pressed, âUncle Samuel, what plans did you have today?â
âWell,â Samuel continued in his calm and cool voice, âyour Uncle Charles and Uncle Jacob are both in Jeahron. We three brothers have finally managed to get together, so we thought weâd call you to join us. You still havenât met your third uncle Jacob.â
Oneidaâs eyes flickered at the news. These past months, all three of them had been consumed by their own hectic worlds. Top dogs in their respective fields, their schedules barely allowed them any free time. It was rare for the trio to be in the same city at the same time. And today, of all days, they were all in Jeahron. Oneida had indeed never met her third uncle Jacob, and now she might have the chance.
âBut if youâre feeling tired...â Samuelâs voice trailed off with a hint of reluctance.
âIâm not that tired,â Oneida quickly clarified. She gripped her phone tighter, her gaze inadvertently scanning the stairs. At this moment, Jackson might be taking Cece to the doctor. If that were the case, meeting her uncles would be a better option. Being around them was far better than lingering alone in Garrison Mansion. Plus, she hadnât seen her uncles in such a long time; meeting Jacob was something she looked forward to. However, she The Second Act Revenge (Oneida and Jackson)
ï¤The Second Act 326 remembered that Jackson had asked her to wait so they could talk. Oneidaâs lips curled into a cryptic, cold smile. She had the right not to talk. With that thought, her eagerness to meet her uncles grew stronger.
âUncle Samuel, itâs been too long since Iâve seen you guys. Todayâs a rare opportunity, so I definitely want to join you,â Oneida maintained her composure, even imbuing her voice with a hint of excitement. She spoke with the zest of a young girl.
Hearing the cheer in her voice, Samuelâs usually icy demeanor couldnât help but warm a fraction. Oneida always brought him joy. âGreat, then itâs a plan. Iâll come to pick you up myself.
