Chapter 79: Chapter 79
Leah!!! Alexia was the first to run to her when everyone's feet were rooted in the floor. Leah!!! She called then hugged her, but the young lady didn't move, she just stared at Alexia. Come on, it's me, Alexia.
Slowly Max made his way to her, he pulled her hand, then kissed her forehead.
Sweetie, it's me, Max. Jesse turned his gaze, his entire being goes sour, so many things run through his mind, with just the mere sight of Max placing his lips on her forehead as if that is not enough, he even calls her sweetie. Beck look at him, he had been staring at the young lady for a long trying to recollect where he had to see her. He just can't, he had planned on asking Jesse where he met the girl, and right now, Alexia calling her Leah only means one thing, that she is the girl that Alexia and her family are looking for but how did she end up in the company of this crazy friend of his.
Sorry, I am not your sweetie, maybe, you are mistaking me for someone. Angel pulled from Max's grip and held onto Jesse, prime minister and his wife look at each other, the man had been paralyzed with shock, and he too is confused.
Daughter, don't you recognize us, it's me, your uncle, Uncle Ethan.
Sorry, I don't remember. Now it's time for Emily to look at the young man that brought their naughty girl home.
What did you do to our daughter? The impatient Emily said, pulling Jesse's hand from Leah and pulling the young lady to her side.
Uh! Jesse said in confusion, his thoughts had wandered away and he has become greedy and possessive he wish that these people are strangers to the young lady, he doesn't want to give her away, he can't live without her, not now, not now that he tasted those sweet lips of hers.
Everyone easy, we are not going to get an answer to all our questions if we continue like this, let's not spoil this beautiful moment. Field Marshall said pulling the hand of his wife and Ashley that Is walking behind them. Come on, young lady what is your name?
Angel!!!
That is not true. Alexia yelled, Beck, run his hand on her back.
Relax baby, Soldier Jesse will tell us, how he and Angel met.
She is not Angel but Leah, my sister's name is not Angel. Jesse gulped his saliva and let out a heaved sigh, he was in dilemma right from the moment that Alexia and Max approach his Angel, if it was just Alexia, he will never felt bad and uncomfortable, but the young man, no, he doesn't want to lose this woman his heart beat for.
Since the prime minister had called the young man her brother, he felt at ease now.
Ahem! Jesse cleared his throat. I really have no idea, who she really is, the truth is, I saw her on my way, a year back, she was hurt, lying lifeless on the floor, I brought her to the hospital, she was comatose for a year and when she opened her eyes, the doctor said she is suffering from amnesia since she can't live in the hospital, the doctor advised I take her home, so for those past months she had been living with me, I have no idea who she is, so all I could hope for is that one day she will remember her past and lead me to her family. I am sorry, for the inconvenience.
It's fine, we are happy that, our baby is back. Emily said running her hand through Leah's hair.
Leah's eyes meet Fred, Xander's father, for some reason, she is not comfortable with Fred.
Are you alright? Max asked. She closed her eyes tight holding her head, Jesse hurry to her. Are you alright? Jesse asked, she grabbed Jesse's hand.
I want to go home, I don't feel right. Leah's voice was low, Jesse pick her hands, Max held her hand, and Jesse look at him.
I will admit, you have been taking care of my sister for more than a year but I can't let you go with her anymore. She will have to come with us. Sweetie let's leave. Max held her hand, she in turn held Jesse and Jesse too doesn't want to leave her hand.
What is this? Ashley asked. Complicated family. Ashley added frowning, Sara pulled her hand.
You should stop, you know your grandfather will get mad if you create a scene.
Whatever? I wonder what we are doing here?
Ashley!!! Sara called in frustration.
Fine, I am not going to say anything. Ashley grabbed the water on the table. Beck looks at Alexia to save the situation.
Max, you should let her go with him, I am sure he is not going to hurt him, I know him, he is a good person. Alexia said.
Yes Max, Alexia is right, I have known him for a long time and I am sure he is the coolest guy in the military, he knows better than to hurt an innocent girl. Bernard and Max are friends and he mostly listens to him, Max is aware that, Bernard hardly trusts people.
Fine, I will let you go with her but you should know, I am getting my sister back, she needs a psychiatrist so she could regain her memory in no time. Jesse sighed at the way Max is giving him rules, if he could turn back the hand of time, he would never had agree to come here with her when Beck invited the both of them, it's frustrating to know that she might go back to her family and probably forget about everything about him
We go on now. Jesse said.
Hey, wait, you didn't take anything from the party, you should go with this. Alexia grabbed some food and give it to Leah and Jesse.
Thanks!!! Jesse said as he pulled Leah away with him, Max stood there as he watch his sister go away with a stranger, it was painful but what can he do, it was better to see her alive with some stranger than see her ice in a cold grave.
Son, stop suckling, We should be happy that she is alive, come on, let's celebrate. Prime Minister Lee said as everyone seat at the table. We shouldn't let this delicious meal goes to waste it's a double celebration because our baby is back, cheers to more celebration.
Everyone raised their glasses and the silence goes on as everyone now enjoying, in a few seconds everyone is more peaceful and happy, Mr. Edgar's eyes had been on Beck and Alexia, they are acting all sweet together and he is getting curious since Bernard, didn't tell them anything about him and Alexia broke up, to him and his wife. He had thought of fixing the wedding day, between their two children today but he doesn't understand.
Ahem! Mr. Edgar clears his throat causing everyone to look at him. Hey, my friend, today is your marriage anniversary, I think it will also be a good time for us to fix the union of our kids, don't you think so? He asked, now everyone's eyes move from their food and fixed on Alexia and Beck that have forgotten where they are, they are practically feeding each other.
