Chapter 396 - Love triangle has been shredded..
Jean and Scott had a blissful night and it is already past twelve of afternoon when Scott woke up to prepare lunch for both of them.
As Jean is exhausted he let her sleep and tucked her carefully so she would not wake up. Kissing her forehead he caressed her face "I will not let anyone harm you Baby..." he pecked her lips and went downstairs.
At exactly one at noon, the door bell rang and it is only when Scott remembered that Enrick would be coming to talk with both of them. But Jean is still sleeping...and Scott is still cooking with his apron on.
He looked exactly like a house husband that when Scott opened the door, Enrick coughed to hide his sudden amus.e.m.e.nt of seeing him like that. But however Scott didn’t care because he is intentionally flaunting that he is a wife doting slave...
"Rick you have to stay for lunch alright" Scott said as he went back into kitchen.
Enrick almost coughed his blood due to the unexpected warmth in his tone..
First, Enrick or Mr. Richards got improvised to Rick...Wow.....its a wonder.
And he himself is taking initiative to talk with him and moreover he didn’t try to throw him out as fast as possible.
HE ASKED TO STAY FOR LUNCH...
Anyway Rick understood this sudden change in Scott’s opinion on him. It is because in the last night’s party he revealed how he has been protecting Jean from the unknown danger.
And to his wonder Scott didn’t ask the reason but have also said that he will wait patiently till Jean finds about it and herself reveal it to him. So she will not feel bad that he has been hiding something important from her since long back...
Such a loyal husband...
So it is natural that Scott changed his opinion on him. There are also chances that they might become good friends because both of them wanted to protect Jean.
"Sorry for this but Jean is still sleeping upstairs. She will come down soon" Scott apologized and continued cutting vegetables.
Enrick nodded his head and looked at time....it is one O clock and still she is sleeping...
How much was she tired because of Scott.....
.......
Jean woke up with sour body. Give him an inch and he will take a mile....cursing his pervert actions Jean donned her bathrobe and exited the room.
Her stomach is growling for food and she didn’t have even ounce of energy to go downstairs. Walking near to railings of the first floor Jean rubbed her eyes and tied her disheveled hair into bun.
"Hubby.....my lunch" her voice is still husky and sleepy. She is still rubbing her half closed eyes that she failed to notice a person who is gawking at her.
Not at her....but her neck. Which is full of hickeys that red color dominated her skin complexion.
He always thought that his big brother is more beasty but after looking at Scott’s art he realized that his brother is not much when compared to Scott.
"Five minutes...honey. Fresh up and come down" Scott said and instantly Enrick snapped back into reality and averted his eyes.
Scott who noticed this saw the changes in Rick when compared to before. Hope has really started changing him...
Till yesterday Scott have only thought of making Rick stay away from Jean but after finding out the truth he didn’t wanted Jean to loose a good friend like Rick.
Meanwhile Jean flushed red as she realized they had a company and that they were not alone. It was so embarrassing for her that she sprinted into her room and then into bathroom to get fresh up.
....
Jean greeted both of them and sat down for lunch. She is still flushed due to embarrassment but Scott is grinning ear to ear looking at her cute red face.
Rick coughed to hide his chuckle, Jean really looked cute when she is shy....he never came across ’shy’ Jean till now. But he felt Hope looks even more cute in this aspect.
It felt good for three of them to be this harmonious. There was no tension and cold war like before...it felt peaceful that they decided to continue it like this.
Moreover they have to work together as well...
"So what happened...." Jean is the one to talk first.
"Uhmm.....it seems like Johann will make his move soon. As you expected he might try to destroy that evidences but he have also started suspecting if Kiara is alive" Rick said.
"So Jean, if we follow your plan it might also expose Kiara. Though chances are less we still have to be careful with him" Scott continued.
"We have to plan a alternative.." Rick said.
"But Rick, we still have Hermes and they are waiting to see how you guys are connected to me. Coming to the base would not be ideal." Jean worried.
"Exactly, But Jean that Elder Wright is not that powerful in country X and his sources are limited...so what all he could do is to watch your company and the base of the council" Rick said.
"Anyway you have agreed to work in Valdez’s on the research right. So it is natural for you to visit their hospital.....and moreover they are not aware that Rick is also a member of it. According to them he declined the offer and is working on his own chain of hospitals" Scott said.
"So we two can meet their often...when they will start lowering their guards we can work on our mission" Rick said and Jean nodded her head.
Little they knew that this will backfire...because they might not have expected Johann to be secretly working for Mr. Wright (Father of Edward)
Who is also the Johann’s secret boss....which is not even known to Elder Wright. Because Johann is banished from working for Braxton’s.
