Chapter 85

Everyone stared at them as they drove into the neighborhood, never in her life have they ever seen luxurious cars like that, some women even followed the car, they wanted to know where the car was heading to

Jane was busy in the kitchen, it was a Saturday and they were some chores to do, they were already done cleaning the whole house so they were busy cooking, it was almost afternoon and they were preparing for lunch

Jane phone rang and she went ahead to pick it up, she saw the caller ID and it was Grace

"good morning Miss Grace" she greeted

"what? in front of my house" she was astonished, what was Grace doing in front of her house? was she joking or what

she put down her phone and made her way outside, she was surprised at what she saw Grace was right there with Christopher the man that gave her a sleepless night

she didn't even know how to react, and she couldn't help but blush

Christopher and Grace alongside Jack moved closer to the door

Jane felt a bit shy, people were watching them and it was embarrassing

' who do you think those people are, they look so rich ' one of the onlookers said

' do you think that man is Jane's suitor? ' another said

' I don't think so, I have never seen her with any man since she came into this neighborhood '

' me too '

' no I don't think so, that man is too rich he can't have interest in someone like her '

' but can't you see there's a resemblance between those two people and Christopher '

' I thought so too '

' keep quiet all of you, let's just wait and see ' they kept gossiping and discussing among themselves

Mrs Whitney noticed something was off and made her way outside to see what was going on, she came outside and met some strangers that she has never seen before

immediately she saw Grace and Chris a sense of familiarity and warmth spread through her and she could not shake it off

she wondered who those people were

"won't you ask us inside?" Grace was the one that spoke while Chris said nothing

"please come in" Mrs Whitney said gesturing for them to come in

"and you all should disappear and stop looking for what to gossip about" she shouted at the onlookers

Jane followed quietly after them as they all went inside

"please kindly have a seat, I hope you don't mind how our house looks like" Mrs Whitney said

"it's totally fine" Grace said, she sat down and gestured for her brother and Jack to do the same, Jack however didn't sit until he got permission from Chris

Jane didn't know how to react around Chris, she was deeply shy and couldn't help but blush her heart was racing rapidly in her chest, she couldn't even look up, she just stood there

"come on Jane, aren't you going to say anything?" Grace asked her seeing that she wasn't saying anything

"do you know them?" Mrs Whitney asked

Jane didn't say anything she just nodded

"this is my brother her boss and we are just here to clear some few things, I was the one that called yesterday and I want to believe you were the one that picked my call at first" Grace explained

"and I told you not to call again, what your brother did is very uncalled for" Mrs Whitney said wrapping her hands around Jane as if protecting her from danger

"I know and he his very sorry, it was just a misunderstanding, and it has been cleared up" Grace said, she looked at Chris gesturing for him to say something

Chris got what she meant, he looked at Mrs Whitney and quickly recognized that she was the one that he saw on Jane's phone, he then looked at Jane, she looked very beautiful and innocent this morning too

he cleared his throat and spoke

"I made a mistake and I misjudged you, and that's why I'm here to give you back your job" he managed to say

Jane wasn't expecting to get her job back, she was quite happy but still she wanted an apology

Mrs Whitney seems to read her mind

"that doesn't sound like an apology, you are not in your house Mr and you can't do as you please, if you want to her come back to work for you, you have to apologize to her for calling her names" Mrs Whitney said and placed her hands on her waist

there was no way she was standing by and watching her child get bullied, ' just who do they think they are ' she scoffed

Christopher felt helpless, he doesn't apologize to anyone, at least not anymore, and this woman was ordering him to do it, does she even have any idea of who he is

Christopher felt suffocated he didn't know how to react, he wanted to say something when Christopher came in

"mummy, mummy I've been waiting for you and grandma in the kitchen I think the chicken is ready cause the oven stopped working" Christopher said while running to the living area

his mother and Mrs Whitney told him to wait for in the kitchen for them that they were coming, and that he should looked after the chicken

when he didn't see anyone he decided to look for them, but be didn't expect to see visitors which was strange his mom or grandma never brought in visitors, he brought his voice low as he saw them

"baby we will be right there" Jane said to him

"okay mummy" Chris replied his mother

Christopher felt strangely happy and warm when he saw the little boy, ' was it because they bear the same name, so this was the most important man in her life ' he felt sweet

"so you must be little Chris, I've been wanting to meet you" Grace said, she loved the boy in an instant

"come on Chris, say hello" his mother urged him

Chris moved closer to Grace and hugged her as shee opened her arms
