Chapter 110 - A Toddler!

Javier's shaky voice from behind sent her into a dilemma.

She turned around to look at his face to notice that he was looking at her with a deep, intense gaze. "Are you sure?" She asked with a lot of uncertainty.

But her voice wasn't able to hide her excitement to touch flowers for once. "Yep. I'm sure. They are really beautiful and I'm sure that you will find them attractive as well."

With his approval, Jennifer bent on her knees and touched one flower, but it immediately closed itself. 'Probably this is, 'Touch me now..'

It was silky and beautiful to the next extend. Back in her state, she rarely saw anyone developing a love for gardening. Jennifer found herself having an interest in the same when she went abroad for further studies.

"They...are so beautiful.." she mumbled in between her breaths. Her gaze never tore from the flower for the slightest second.

It was a sight to witness which was also soothing to her heart. Deep down, it was very much unusual for her to even get fascinated yet this was another case, to begin with.

Feeling her heart being full of whatever she has gone through ever in her life.

Javier walked near her, and his brother nudged his elbow, averting his eyes to ask what happened in the cabin, related to Lucas.

Passing his brother an assured gaze, made him feel satisfied and content to tell that Lucas is still under their control and going according to how they planned out.

"Who gives water to these plants? they are so beautiful, I can't believe that they have grown so much" Jennifer expressed her satisfaction through which, Javier answered her back with his words, "There is a Gardner.. and sometimes our maids do."

Lifting her eyes, she stared at Javier with an innocent face. "Can I water them whenever I will be free! Please?"

Jennifer had no idea from where her childish nature appeared all of the sudden. Moreover, she isn't someone who asks for anything. But this time, it was about plants and gardening!

Javier noted her frail expressions, with his heart suddenly having the urge to pull her cheeks.. 'She is acting as if she is the cutest and smallest baby who needs whatever she has asked.'

His mind was constantly comparing her with a young toddler but at the same time, he knew she is eagerly waiting for his answer. "You can but only with a gardener. I don't want any kind of cut on your hand.. when you will touch some flowers. They have thorns too."

"Alright! Thank you so much." Jennifer clapped her hands with a big grin appearing on her face. She forgot that she was a hostage here, not exactly their family member. Was this her fault? Both the brothers have made her feel the comfort that she is liking their nature and presence too.

They are treating her so well that she can just explain her feelings as if they all are friends, not a kidnapper and a hostage.

While Jennifer actively gathering some flowers with a happy gaze, she finally lifted herself on her toes and turned around. "They are pretty.. I would love to take care of them.."

"You like gardening so much… probably you will want one in your own home as well right?" Javier asked leisurely, while Charles looked puzzled by the same question

As predicted, Jennifer nodded her head in return, to which Javier didn't say much but a piece of simple information was printed freshly in his mind.

"Um… you guys talk and have a tour. I have one important meeting in the next two hours so I will take my leave." Charles interrupted them in the middle and looked quite apologetic.

Both of them nodded their head in his emergency since he stayed back only till Javier conversed with his father.

At the same moment, Charles's departure made her once again the reason why Javier went back to his father and what kind of conversation did they both had!?

She was curious to know what have they demanded and what was the reaction of the Smiths? Probably because she saw both of them from close sight, and knew how high the egos of the Smiths can reach up to the sky.

Both of them started walking on the footpath of the garden when Jennifer tried to strike a conversation in the hope to have some information in her pouch too.

"Um… Javier. How was the conversation with your father? Was she angry?" She asked cautiously to which Javier replied, "No. Why would he be angry? He has no right and can't be. Everything was fine."

His words didn't provide her with the information she was grinding together with herself. "Oh. I mean, did you talk with Lucas? Is he still after me?"

Javier passed her narrow gaze and at this moment, Jennifer knew that she has asked too bluntly, "i...I mean that if.. he is willing to break the marriage? You know I have no interest to be entangled between you two.."

"No, he hasn't and will not do the same in the future too. I don't know why but he is willing to stick to you like glue, keeping you close to him. There must be some reason, are you aware of the same?"

In return for answering her question, he asked her something more challenging which threw her into another thought. "Reason for marrying me?"

"Yeah!"

Since Javier knew that he has no idea about and no clue in his hand, probably there is only one person who can help him. And that was her!

Jennifer thought for a second and opened her mouth, "Probably because I'm beautiful and other things… he was also trying to offer my family a lot of things in return for this alliance."

"Maybe our business was down.. so they approached. Otherwise, what can someone ordinary person like me give to a big man like him?"
