Chapter 64: A rare peace...
~Allen Family House~
The Allen family was relatively calm and peaceful as the maids go about their daily business. Elder Allen always and early riser had woken and is much more better than last night.
Alfred was happy with the changes, he had followed Jessica’s instruction in the administration of his drugs as well as the massage.
He couldn’t help wonder how one who isn’t a doctor could able to detect problems and prescribe such an effective treatment, he has his doubts but as long as she didn’t hurt the Old man it doesn’t matter to him what her agenda or purpose is in the Allen family.
He would have suspected her connection with Desmond but seeing them at loggerhead and the silent battle between puts his mind at ease. It is more to say Desmond had miscalculated on choosing his pawn.
Desmond had left the mansion earlier to go to the office, he musn’t leave any stone unturned as the thoughts of the Old man is getting increasingly difficult to guess.
The situation in Davis room is quite different from the rest of the house. Davis’s biological clock woke him up in the early hours of the morning, despite the late hour at which they had gone to bed.
The room was still bathed in the soft glow of dawn, the rising sun casting it golden hues over the window with its rays penetrating the curtains which had not been drawn so as not to wake the woman on the bed.
Jessica slept deeply, her breathe even and peaceful while Davis sat on the bed his head on the headboard as he gazed at the woman beside him. For a moment, he simply watched her, observing and taking note of the delicate curve of her face, the soft flutter of her lashes, her rosy cheeks and the way her wavy hair sprawled messily over the pillow.
