BXBX NOVEL Chapter 106 - Dinner. Part One.
"Welcome, Jason..." Amelia said as she was invited inside the mansion.
"Thank you... These flowers are for you." Jason replied.
"Aww... That\'s so sweet of you." Amelia said.
"Thank you... And thank you for inviting me for dinner." Jason said.
"Ahh... No worries..." Amelia replied.
"Come... Please have a seat..." Amelia said and Jason nodded his head and sat on the couch and Amelia sat in front of him.
"Valentina will be down soon." Amelia said as Jason looked around the Mansion.
"Ahh... Yeah..." Jason replied.
"Don\'t be so uncomfortable. This is like your home too..." Amelia said and Jason nodded his head with a small smile.
"Of course, it\'s your first time coming here... So, it will be a little uncomfortable... But just make yourself comfortable." Amelia said and Jason just kept nodding his head as he was not at all sure about what he should talk about.
"Jason..." Amelia called and he looked at her.
"Thank you... Thank you so much once again..." Amelia said and Jason shook his head in no.
"No, Mrs. Jackson... Don\'t say thank you... I didn\'t do anything in the first place... And you are thanking us... Mom was feeling so uncomfortable as you are thanking us again and again when we didn\'t do anything..." Jason replied.
"No... You did a lot... For me... I am really blessed... You bought my daughter back to me... Without me asking you... I didn\'t expect that my daughter will come to me... I lost all hopes the last time I meet her... I thought she will never forgive me ever... But... It was so sudden. She is here... Finally... All because of you and your family... I am so grateful for you and your family till my last breath..." Amelia said and Jason shook his head in no.
"No, Mrs. Jackson..." Amelia cut off Jason in mid-sentence.
"Call me... Amelia or Aunt Amelia... That would makes us family..." Amelia said and Jason nodded his head in yes.
"Yea... Yeah, M... I mean, Aunt Amelia." Jason replied making Amelia smile.
"Good. Ohh... Where are my manners... I didn\'t give you anything to drink." Amelia said to herself and was about to get up from the couch when the maid walked towards them with the juice.
"Here... Please have it..." Amelia said with a smile as Maid walked to them.
"Thank you!" Jason replied as he took the juice and the maid walked away after Amelia shook her head in no for her drink.
"Jason, you guys don\'t at all have any idea on what you did to me... You guys were like a blessing to me... You bought my daughter back to me... I couldn\'t ask for more... This is all I want and today, after 10 years she kept her foot in this mansion. And she called me Mom for the first time today... I... I... I don\'t have any words... To tell how grateful I am feeling right now... All this is because of you... Just because of you and your family... If not you guys, then I don\'t think, I would get my daughter back to me... And she wouldn\'t call me Mom at all to me..." Amelia said as tears rolled in her eyes.
"No, Aunt Amelia... Don\'t talk like that... It\'s all your prayers that bought your daughter to you... Valentina is a woman who understands everything and everyone... She has this kind soul inside her too... But everyone calls her a devil who is so cruel to this outside world and I will not lie too... She is cruel to herself too... All these years, she wanted to give you a chance but she was scared... I know her... She doesn\'t want to be away from you... But things made her get away from you... If not the circumstances made her like this... Then she would have given you a chance a long back ago... She used to cry for herself a lot of time... There is a different Valentina inside her... Who is kind and a so emotional... None knows her... Except for a few people who are so close to her. I didn\'t at all know about it too... Until I because close to her... Well, she was so cruel to me too... But... We somehow connected and became closed... We shared each other pasts and we became good friends... Or I should say best friends... My mom became close to her too... Valentina used to talk a lot about you with her... But at the same time, she used to share with my mom on how cruel you were with her at her young age... Well, as Mom knows about you and Mr. Jackson... She was behind to make you both one... But the chance never got her to make you both one... But now, she is really so happy for you both." Jason replied making a tear fall down from her eyes but she wiped it immediately and smiled brightly at Jason.
"Thank to Margaret... She is such an understanding person ever... She bought my dagger back to me... If not she understood me and let me understand everything to Valentina... Then Valentina would never give me a chance... Finally, my daughter is back to me... What else... Do I need more than my daughter? I waited for almost 25 years to hug her... And now, I got the chance... You and your family are such kind souls... I would never forget your help... I will never... Many tried to make her understand but didn\'t get succeed... I know that... Because she is such a stubborn girl... She would never listen to anyone and just do as she wishes and wants to... If anyone tells her anything... She will only shut their mouth. It\'s hard to make her understand... She is really a different girl... She is a danger in everyone\'s life and as well as in her life too... She is dangerous for herself too..." Amelia said making Jason chuckle and nod his head.
"I am not gonna lie... But she is!" Jason replied and he and Amelia laughed.
