Chapter 56: Stay a moment...
"Do you stay in the same room?" Desmond asked with confusion brimming in his eyes.
He did not expect Jessica and Davis relationship to have progressed to the point of living together in the same room.
Jessica laughed lightly "Aren’t we married? What is the point of living separately?"
Davis looked at her seriously, with her attitude he didn’t expect she will readily accept it that way or is it just to spite Desmond? Whatever reason she has he was very grateful.
Desmond face twisted, he cannot believe he is losing all his cards in one single day. He married the Brown daughter to Davis with the intention of controlling Davis through her, making him remain in pain at the very thought of remembering his marriage and how it came to be, possibly they should always see each other as enemy but their interactions speak otherwise.
"Dad, it will be wise you pause whatever discussion you have with them and take a good rest looking at your condition" He scowled.
Their presence since the dinner was disruptive and letting them stay further, he didn’t want to imagine the effect. He didn’t want the old man rekindling the love Davis had extinguished when he got into accident.
Jessica, sighed briefly while casting a furtive glance at him "Are you worried about Grandfather’s safety, or are you upset that we’re staying?" She smirked.
Desmond’s jaw clenched, his eyes darted to Davis again. "I have every reason to be concerned. The situation earlier was chaotic. What if—" He stopped himself, his fists tightening.
