Chapter 609 - Will his daughter forgive him?
"I literally saw Uncle suffering. Jeff, he loves guys a lot....it is one of the reasons why I and Rick did so much to support you both and protect you both on behalf of him. Five years back he uses to look after you both" iris explained.
"But he went into coma all in sudden and we were so helpless because even we don’t know much about the things in the council. As you two are most important than destroying second young master we decided to focus on you both." Iris said.
Even Jean who is sitting closely, heard all of this. What all have happened in these five years is the evidence of her words. She is not lying at all...
"Jean... I know that this is difficult to take in. I know that this is hard for you to accept that your birth father is someone from the family you hate most. But believe me...not everyone is bad in Braxton’s. It is all because of my brother. I am not making excuses nor I am pushing you into something that is tough for you to accept. Take your own time and think about it properly" her father said.
His eyes are teary and his guilt is written all over his exhausted face....
With one look, anyone can tell that how much he had on his shoulders...
Jean looked at her father for few seconds and then looked at her husband who smiled and nodded his head. He is obvious of her thoughts and he is happy for what she decided.
This didn’t go unnoticed by her father. He could see that Jean started relying on someone and started trusting someone. It is too evident how much Scott meant to her...
May be this Summers boy is not a bad option after all...
Though he uses to prefer Enrick......but who is he on the first place to choose a love for his daughter. It is her own life and he is happy with whoever she has chosen.
If she is happy that is all he wanted....
Meanwhile, while he is thinking, Jean is looking at her father. She couldn’t help feel sorry for him...
He looked too old. His handsome, charming face from five years back flashed in her mind....it made her guilty to see him like this.
Meanwhile, Seeing her sad and guilty face Scott couldn’t do anything but take her into his embrace.
"Don’t think much baby. What happened is already past.... but the present is in your hands. Just don’t worry much...it’s not good for you or for our baby.... Remember" Scott whispered.
Jasper who is still holding his sister’s hand nodded his head.
"See, your little brother agreed me with me for the first time." Scott tried to ease out his wife’s stress and tension. She likes to overthink the things and he don’t want it too happen.
Her pregnancy is not stable and it is not at all good for her health to undergo all these overloaded feelings.
Her father Julian, who just came out from his thoughts looked at wife and husband who reminded him of himself and his wife. Then his eyes moved to her baby bump....
He couldn’t help but scold himself for forgetting that his little daughter is pregnant. He is so caught in asking for her forgiveness that he momentarily forgot about her condition. He only remembered it when Scott reminded her.
"Jean.... there is no need to rush with your answer. You can take your own time and think about this...don’t take stress, Scott is right.... you should first take care of you and the baby. Whatever your answer is I will respect it like always" her father said.
Jasper instantly pouted and clutched his sister’s hand. "Don’t go...please" he asked with teary eyes.
Jean sadly smiled at her brother and ruffled his hair before looking at her father.
She gently detangled herself from her husband’s embrace and sat down beside her father on the bed.
"I don’t understand why you are apologising to me. You are my father and you have been looking after both me and Jeff since the day we are born. Though you want to meet us and reveal yourself, you controlled all those heavy emotions inside of your heart just because you didn’t want anyone to find out that we are your children. But, even in that difficult circ.u.mstances you made your time just for us.... you disguised yourself many times just to fulfil your responsibility as a father. You moulded us into good persons and helped us to stand on our own feet. Even after doing all these, you were again willing to sacrificed your life to protect us" Jean said to her father in her heavy voice.
Her tears are threatening to escape her eyes all again and so are others.
"Jean...." her father called her with his eyes stingy with tears.
"Let me complete dad" Jean stopped him from talking more.
But his face blossomed with happiness and his lips curved up into a perfect smile.
She called him DAD...
That was enough for him to figure it out that his daughter forgave him.
Jean chuckled looking at her father. She couldn’t help but agree that he is a best dad.
"And even after doing all these for us, you are asking me to forgive you. For what should I forgive you? For keeping us in the dark about your existence or because of the fact that your brother is the reason for mother’s death?"
Except for Scott and her father everyone is flabbergasted because of the change in her tone. Whatever she spoke before are actually very comforting but the words she spoke now are little crude and straight forward.
