The Kidnapped Bride

Chapter 429 - Not A Mere Business Deal..!

The message itself was self-explanatory where her mind recalled how he had actually asked to spend some time with her.

Since she hasn't initiated anything either, he has himself actually taken the part of texting her as per what she had told.

A playful smirk had curved on her lips where her eyes were shining bright. From behind, she could sense Amelia's sharp gaze over her back.

She was alarmed as if Jennifer was any other sixteen years old child which needs to be taken care of so that she doesn't end up having my boyfriend.

Amelia's curiosity was at its peak where she narrowed her eyes and watched Jennifer smiling to herself. 'To which is she actually talking about? Why is she smiling? like any other fool?' It made her curious about the situation.

"Umm..Jennifer! I need your help. Whose message is it?" Amelia finally asked in a yell while she was dusting the cabinets that were in front of her.

Turning around, Jennifer looked at her mother to sound a bit timid, "I-its...Lucas...if you want my urgent help, I guess I can defer our talks for the time as well..." Jennifer muttered, only to get a shake.

"No No...just go ahead and talk with me. After all, he's your fiance..." Amelia's facial expressions showed a drastic change as well.

The narrowed eyes were converted into a giant smile that even made her eyes seem to be a crystal moon.

When Jennifer saw her mother's reaction, she only gave a small nod before averting her eyes back at her mobile.

But back in her mind, she knew that her mother was keeping an eye on her. A chuckle left out of her lips as she relaxed, "She thinks I'm any teen who will actually fall for any other man...tsk tsk...if I have to talk with Javier, I will do it under the blink of your eyes.." But she never gave voice to her thoughts.

Taking a deep breath, her hands mentioned back on the keys before she typed.

Jennifer- Sure! Send me the time and address.

Lucas- Alright, I will send someone to pick you..

After reading this, a faint smile had already traced Jennifer's lips. But the same joyous situation can't be said for her heart which was immersed in the blackness.

As she clutched the phone near her chest, biting her lower lip, Jennifer turned around to walk close to her mother who was currently in the kitchen.

There, she saw her doing her chores before Jennifer gained her attention, "Muma...I actually got? a message from Lucas.."

"What is he saying then?" Amelia didn't stop doing the work, not paying much other attention for the time. "Um..he asked me to join him at a dinner party tonight which he is attending with his client. To spend some quality time.."

"W-what?"

Amelia, who was currently holding a plate in her hand, already had her wide eyes. Turning around, she looked at the calm standing Jenifer with her stunning breath, "L-Lucas actually asked you out..for a date?"

"Not a date but to just see some alone time with each other. After coming back from Johnson state, I also needed some exposure so this can be used like that..'' Jennifer gave a quick explanation, not to go into the depth either.

"But at least you both are going out.." Amelia whispered where she kept the plate back on the table. Coming out of her daze, she lifted her gaze to follow Jennifer's figure where she told her, "You should actually choose a nice outfit for tonight."

"I will don't worry." Jennifer strongly responded before she continued, "I will go to my room. Since it will get late at night, I will take a quick rest before getting ready."

"Sure, dear!" Amelia had the same happy-go-lucky face, which was very much expected of her.

Immediately, Jennifer retarded to her room to find that Hannah was already working on the laptop. She knew that she does have some work to do, and didn't disturb her either

Keeping the same subtle expression, she walked to her closet to take out her purse. After taking the peak of Hannah once again, Jennifer moved inside the bathroom, to close it behind her, where a sigh escaped her lip.

'I can't let her know that I met with Jack the other night..' no one had any idea about this.? And she found no reason to even reveal it either.

But then, Jennifer lowered her head to find her purse in her hand. Afterward, she opened it to take out another phone that was present in it.

Switching it on, Jenifer nibbled her own nails in the time before she had typed a message that went directly to Jack.

Jennifer- He is asking me to meet. Will send the time and address...

Jack- I'm waiting...

With this, Jenifer waited for a few more seconds. She was constantly tapping her hand on the shelf itself, where her patience was running off until the notification came on her phone where she saw that Lucas had already sent the location.

A bright, yet mysterious smile had curved on her lips where she had given the same address to Jack, as her heart was now blooming in the garden of the flowers.

As her eyes glowed with the mist that appeared, Jennifer adjusted her neck to either side before she stared at herself in the mirror in front, "Let's see, how you face the downfall, Lucas..."

....

In the night, Jennifer was currently applying the cream on her face before she heard Hannah comment from behind, "Are you sure that you don't want me to come with you tonight?"

"Obviously not! it's about me and Lucas today..." Jennifer muttered before she tapped her face.

Knowingly that Hannah was annoyed to the next core, about her leaving Jennifer to go alone with the same bastard, and especially in the night, but she had already been prepared for the same.

After getting ready, Jennifer finally saw Hannah, still making out on her face.

To coax her, Jennifer came near her, to keep both her hands on her shoulders, and tilted her head, "Hannah....there's a reason why I'm not taking you."

"Tonight....it won't be just a business deal...but also..Lucas's downfall's first day.."
