Chapter 128

little Jane looked up at Christopher with all the smile she could muster

She took out her iPad and typed on it

"good morning Daddy" she showed it to him

Christopher didn't know how to react to her so he just smiled back at her, her smile was contagious anyway

Jane looked at Chris trying to tell him something but unfortunately, he wasn't looking her way, she tried severally all to no avail

She finally decided to go to him, she moved closer to him and whispered in his ears

"you are supposed to reply to her and then carry her, it shows that you care," Jane said

"but I don't" he whispered

"then pretend you do, you can't hurt the little girl's feelings just like that, remember what you promised me last night" Jane argued

Chris felt like he was at a crossroad, he suddenly felt controlled if it were to be someone else, he would have asked the person to go to hell by now

Everyone wondered what was going on, they could read both of their expressions they seem to be fighting about something

"All alright fine" Chris succumbed

Chris reached out to little Jane, "Come here" That was all he could manage to say, Jane wanted to laugh at him but she kept the urge

little Jane was elated, she felt appreciated and accepted, and she was beaming with happiness

"How are you, did you sleep well?" Chris finally managed to say

Angel felt happy to see Chris getting close to the girl like that, but she didn't like the fact that it was that maid who convinced him to do it, she could read their expression and she was sure it was the case

Jane smiled at Chris in appreciation, he did well, Chris could no longer handle the sweetness and the mood, it was too emotional for his liking

He saw little Chris looking up at him "How are you champ?" he greeted him

"fine Daddy" Chris greeted back, he then went ahead to greet every other person while little Jane stayed beside Jane

"good morning grandma, good morning grandpa, good morning ma'am" he greeted Rebecca, Williams and Maria

"how are you, my boy?" Rebecca patted his head

"How are you champ?" Williams asked him

"I'm fine" he answered he then went ahead to greet Mike but didn't greet Patricia and Angel he doesn't like them at all

"come on my darling princess won't you say hello to mummy?" Angel said wearing her fake smile

little Jane didn't have a choice but to oblige she didn't want to be scolded afterwards

she went to her, Angel hugged her pretending to be a loving mother

She pecked her cheek, Jane wanted to return to her former position but Angel pinched her at her back gesturing for her not to leave

"We should get going already," Angel said diverting everyone's attention from little Jane but Jane didn't fall for it, she saw little Jane's expression she looked like she was going to cry

And then she noticed Angel's hand movement, she detected what was going on and frowned

' which kind of a mother does this to their child ' she thought

she went to Grace trying to help the little girl

she whispered into her ears and Grace nodded

She didn't plan to go to the hospital but now she doesn't have a choice

"I will be going with my brother to the hospital I need to get something later this morning" she said, she didn't want her mother to know she was going shopping with Jane, she would create a scene out of it

"I will take my car, little Jane would you like to ride with me?" she asked and without hesitation, the little girl immediately got the chance and went ahead

"is that a yes?" she asked her and Jane nodded, she would do anything to get away from Angel

Jane and Grace gave each other a knowing look

"Jane please come with me as well I can't look after her all by myself for so long you are experienced already, I hope my brother doesn't mind right?" Grace said giving Chris a pleading look

"it's fine, she will be heading over to the company in the afternoon anyways" Chris said pretending not to care even though he was dying to have her sit in his car and kiss her till she was breathless

"fine so let's go then," she said and made her way to go into the car but she couldn't proceed she saw little Chris's face, he looked sad, same with little Jane she looked sad as well

"Chris, would you come with us as well?" Grace asked

"yes Aunt" he answered immediately as if already expecting the question

"Grace please stop this nonsense don't make this person forget their place for goodness sake, now you want to take the boy with you as what and for what exactly" Maria wined

"Mom please don't add to my already bad mood, there's nothing wrong with what I'm doing, I'm an adult and I can go as I please," Grace said and got into the car

the children followed her, Jane handed Chris's suitcase to Jack, and she then got into the car with Grace

Chris also got into the car alongside his father and grandmother, Maria was not going with them

Mike and Patricia also got into their car, Angel had thought she would be going with Chris but he didn't look at her side

"Angel you should ride with us" Patrica suggested

"yes sure my dad took his car back with him yesterday, I will have someone pick it up later at the hospital" she said and got into the car
