Chapter 13

In the evening Christopher is released and brought home.

Cyndi- Christopher you are there

Christopher- .....

Cyndi- heyy! Are you talking alright honey?

Jack- she talks to you and answers real quick, and you should say thank you, she's the one to set you free, you idiot,

We will talk about all this after you have to do with me, and the next time you stay in the cell, for a month without food, without a visit from me and seeing further you would forget that I am your father.

Christopher- m-thank you cyndi,

I'm sorry dad.

Jack- apologies, I don't care, go wash up, we have a guest, and you better not say a word at dinner.

Cyndi-.Jack is just a kid, you're too hard on him.

Jack- hush! I do what I want with my son, I was too tolerant he always takes me for an idiot.

Ding dong ....

Cyndi- ohhh It's him, leave justina, I'll open the door.

- uncle franck (kisses) welcome to my place come in.

Franck- Pretty house my daughter, so where is your naughty boy

Cyndi- ohhh !! He is taking his bath, I will instead introduce you to my husband Jack

Jack- delighted commissioner,

Franck- call me Franck, we are in a family complex,

Cyndi-. Shall I hold something for you? We made dinner for you.

Franck- ohhh thank you you can put it in a cover, unfortunately I have a very urgent meeting tonight with a committee, I just wanted to see what your life is like, and I.mw realize that it is as I want , perfect, hope you are ok with your groom.

Jack- ohhh sir how are you, I really like your niece,

Cyndi- and we are very happy as you can see. You can come when you want, you will be very welcome, and I hope that next time we can have dinner with you.

- ohh my daughter, you know since I replaced your late father things are very complex, there is still the risk of transferring me this week to China to finish my mandate You see I could not even be at your wedding, nor when you give birth, i am so ashamed, labor does not leave me, but after i retire i will make up for it with my grandson.

Cyndi- ah good? Orrrr uncle, it's really sad. It's noted.

I'll take you away so there you can eat after your meeting.

- thank you my daughter. You've become so mature, your dad would be proud of you.

Cyndi- 😍😍 thank you! Come on .

- come give to my bodyguard, good me I'm going. We say to each other on the phone then as usual and see you next time.

Jack-thanks again sir.

Cyndi- oufff! It's not easy to act

Jack-.hahhaaa! I assure you.

Cyndi-bon bah I don't think Christopher is going to come down any further, he must be tired.

I'm going .

Jack- stay

Cyndi- sorry?

Jack- uhhh !! I mean, it's getting late you can spend the night in Friend's room, there you can come home very early for work. After all you deserve my kindness, you did a lot for me today. thanks again.

Cyndi- waouhh !! It goes straight to my heart, okay.

Jack- I'll give you the keys,

Good night then.

The next day,

Jack gets up for coffee and Cyndi was already gone.

She left a note on the table.

<< sorry I did not want to wake you up, kiss to you are you well >>

Christopher goes down and finds his father,

The two do not say a word.

Jack- you're so ungrateful that even saying hello is beyond you.

Christopher- Hello, you weren't going to answer anyway since you're mad at me.

Jack-.very angry I let you know.

Christopher- I'm sorry it's not going to happen again I don't know what got into me.

Jack- to the point where you skip class for, go do drugs?

How long have you been using drugs? Answer me sincerely.

Christopher- uhh!

Jack-answer

Christopher- a month I would say

Jack-.minceeee, I now understand everything .... Do you even think of me when you do that? Do you think about your health?

Christopher- once we taste it we can't do without it,

Jack- you're sick,

Eat your breakfast, I'm gonna call the doctor, she'll take you to rehab, and the driver will come after you, and that until you get over that damn urge to take drugs,

Woe to you if you skip the sessions, otherwise you go back to cell direct and you forget that I am your father. It's understood?

Christopher- yes daddy😔😔

Jack- ok.

Christopher- dad are you in a relationship with cyndi? Did you forget mom so quickly?

Jack-. What are you talking about?

Christopher- I heard how she introduced you yesterday to her uncle.

Jack- are you listening to the conversations of grown-ups now?

Christopher- no I was just going to get my pajamas from the laundry basket and I heard.

Jack- it was just a semblance, so you could be freed she had to lie to her uncle that you were her son.

Now you will still say that she is responsible for the death of your mother nespa?. With all she did for us you were unable to look in the eyes there last night when you came back and your '' thank you was pitiful. Anyway you do now as you want but I gave you warnings.

Cyndi texts jack.

<< How would you like to take the break together? This noon? Or go to dinner in the evening >>

Jack << good bahhh! I don't know, I still owe you a share of bowling, in exchange for that we could go to dinner so because my lunch is busy I have a meeting with Moroccan partners >>

Cyndi << ohhh !! Gentleman 2.0 then 😌 okey see you tonight then >>

Jack contacts Christopher

- Hello dad
