I blinked many times to see the man standing right in front of me. Oh my... He is more handsome than I remembered him to be, more muscular, his hair is bit longer than his usual, his beard was grown and trimmed perfectly for his diamond shaped face. But his Hight was the same 6'2 and his chocolate brown eyes too that is always has dark as ever it always reminds me of dark chocolates. I actually love dark chocolates than the sugar one’s. ohm I wonder where I kept my dark chocolates, I think I have kept it in the refrigerator I am going to eat it later in my room. I don’t share my minis to anyone. I was lost in my own thoughts that I didn’t know I was just staring at him the whole time until I saw the clear his throat that made me slap myself internally. I turned away so that he would come in. ‘Is it the time to think about dark chocolates when your husband is home Anabella after all this years?’ I scold myself. When he came inside mom Gia hugged him and had happy tears in her that her son was back now. Then the others welcome him. They started talking to each other. And I just stood there still didn't know what to do, I was debating within myself whether I should hug him or not. At last I just decided to hug him it was unfair to me that everyone where hugging him and his wife is not. I went near him when we caught each other’s eyes we just stared like that for 3-4 seconds until I took one step close enough for a hug and went to move my hands to a hug, he knew I gestured for a hug but he just turns to his mom and said he was hungry. At that my chest was heavy, my heart pained till I couldn't breathe, my stomach twisted in uncomfortable manner. After realising that I wasn't breathing and the tears threatened to come out I just blinked away the tears and took a deep slow breath and ignored the feeling with a deep sigh. ‘maybe he was really hungry that he couldn’t see that I came for a hug’ I said to myself. I just went back to the dining table where all were seated Jack sat beside his mom which disappointed me but I ignore it again. So, I went and sat beside dad who happily welcomed me to sit beside him. I just waited for Jack to start eating first and no his reaction. And when he did, he looked at me and then looked down at his plate to continue to eat with blank expression on his face. I frowned I wanted to no whether he like it or not. ‘He did not smile which mean he did not like it’ I thought. Then I started eating. When I tasted it was same as he used to like but maybe he got bored of it. " so ‘J' how were you? Why didn’t you pick up the call whenever we called you? You only talked to your wife why wouldn't you speak to us? How was business? Is it solved? Or you still need to be there? " mom asked all the questions that I wanted to ask him. When mom said that 'he used to talk to me' he looked at me to which I bit my lower lip, thinking what he will say to that. I turn away because I lied to them that he picks up my calls and I talk to him cause I didn’t want them to worry that I stayed here leaving him alone when he needed me the most there. This was also the reason that she let me stayed otherwise she would have kicked me out to him. And now I will get caught that I lied to mom. But I really wanted to ask him why didn't he call me or replied to my call or texts? Was he angry that I left him to go alone? Or was he busy that he didn't have the time to pick up our calls? " there were some serious problems that I needed to take care of. When you people have been calling me but I was busy and stressed out I didn't want to take that on you so I never received your calls and as for 'my wife' here I just used to call her so that I could reduce my stress by talking to her sometimes. And she is the reason for me to come back here so soon then later. I manged to solve it as fast as I could so now I don’t think they require me there for a while now and then here I am eating lunch with you all. “he answered looking at me now and then especially when he said 'my wife' making be blush and turn away. Even though we both no its a lie he covered up for me, somewhere I could sense a hint of anger or maybe it’s just my ascensions. And dad was silence from the moment Jack came. He was just staring at jack the whole time. I sense something wrong but I brushed it off. So, after our lunch I gave dad his medicine to drink but as always, he acted like a kid while making excuses not to drink it. But as always, I win. After taking the tablets. We went to the living room where all were seated on the sofa. It is a huge hall where in the middle is kept a large wooden polished table. With large light brown sofa with dark brown patches in it was placed at one side near the table. And two single chair at either side of the table. Mom was sitting with Kate talking about something and dad went to sit with George and Jack who was talking about some business. So, I went and joined mom and Kate who were talking about a new spa that was open nearby and we three should have girl’s time together. " so, did you bring anything for me from L.A big brother " Kate spoke. " Yeah I did little sister” he mocked and continued “You go open up that black suitcase that’s on the table for me Katie ". Kate open the suit case that was on the table in front to us. Then she picked up a vase which was beautiful with leaves painted on it which was for mom. Then Kate’s favourite perfume for her. For George he brought a locket watch (like the old time watch that was ever hard to find these days) he loves watches he have collection of watches. Then there was Romanee conti 1945 ($ 123,900….) dad was every happy and went to bring glasses to take a drink. And there was nothing else in the suitcase. I was disappointed with it there was nothing for me. And my face makes a frown for 1 second and then back to normal. Kate spoke " there’s nothing for Ana 'J' did you not bring her anything " with little disappointment in her voice. " oh no, I did bring something special for her that will blow her mind off but I wish to give her in secrete when we two are all alone and I think it will be the best surprise for her " he spoke staring at me not even blinking when he says it with a deadly smirk on is face that scared me to death, cause he have that kind of smirk when someone is in trouble and now I think that someone is me.
