The cold swear that is drenching his son in law's forehead is enough to understand how much he is worried.
"I am worried now. Jean's due date is on next week and her condition is not that stable since three weeks. What if…" Scott's voice choked.
"Hey…..there….don't start worrying too much now. We all are here with you right. Whatever it is we all are going to fight together. Nothing is going to happen to Jean or the baby." Enrick comforted Scott.
Daniel and Kiara are still in country X. As her father doesn't know that his daughter exist, Edward didn't risk to let her go out of the main mansion.
"Yeah. But we can't stop everything Rick. From the past three months we have been seeing second young master from very close. No one are as cunning as him" Scott sighed tiredly.
If he isn't this cunning in no way he would have deceived his own brother and killed someone as formidable as Sophia.
A small clue or one unturned stone is enough for him to figure out everything.
"Scott…..no need to worry about my father. I will manage him or at least manipulate my grandfather so he could stop my dad. Leave this to me and take care of Jean first." Edward said.
"Don't worry about this. And don't let my daughter know about this either." Julian said.
"But if you come back with us now, Jean will of course suspect it" Edward said.
"Moreover, Jean wanted you to stay here while she give birth." Scott said.
"I am not going anywhere." Julian pouted. He wanted to stay back till his daughter gives birth.
"Ahh….I know that I have to go" Julian said after few seconds. His genius mind started filtering some alternative ways but he didn't find anything.
If he stay back and his little brother will find out about it, he is sure that his brother will find out about his connection with Jean.
So, he don't have any alternative but to go back.
"We will let you know whatever is happening. Just be careful all right." Enrick said.
Even he is very worried about Jean and the baby. After all she was the woman he loved once. Though he don't love her in the same way he love her as a close friend.
He couldn't help but feel worried.
"With the top security around no one can enter the villa. But the problem comes when Jean will get admitted into hospital" his father in law told.
"Don't freak him out." Edward whispered.
Scott is already worried enough now.
....
By the time Scott entered his room, it is already past eight at evening. His pregnant wife is sleeping but her large stomach couldn't make her sleep properly.
Even her face seemed uncomfortable and she is frowning a little bit.
Scott's face twisted with pain as he saw his wife like this. She is very uncomfortable to even sleep properly.
His eyes stung with tears and he sat beside Jean before caressing her cheeks. Scott pecked her lips and stood up.
From the past one months, Scott is sleeping on the couch after his wife sleep. As he had habit of hugging her tight and doing some 'stuff' he was worried if he will hurt her.
Scott looked at Jean again and sighed. This time he decided to sleep beside her. He needs her comfort…he needs to make sure she will be safe in his embrace.
Scott gently took Jean into his embrace and kissed her forehead again. "I will keep you both safe, no matter what"
After Scott closed his eyes, Jean opened her heavy eye lids. She smiled as she saw her husband sleeping beside her.
It's been while he hugged her like this. Hugging him tighter, Jean dozed off into deep sleep.
.....
"Leave Johann" Second Young master who is looking very disheveled due to his excess drinking, at last mumbled something.
"Master" his right hand person asked, totally surprised by what he heard.
"Let him go" he said again. He is totally drowning in his sorrow.
He didn't expect his brother to be alive. He thought he killed him but who would have thought that his brother is alive.
Johann didn't reveal that Julian is council founder. If he would have revealed, the relationship between Jean and Julian would have been long known.
"Sir…..but"
"LET HIM GO. Do you think my brother will leave us unharmed if anything will happen to Johann." Jaxon yelled.
"Just stay low key till we find a loophole. Meanwhile, I want you to investigate what happened to him in this five years. Where he stayed in this five years and who are these people who are helping him to stay behind the scenes" Jaxon's cunning eyes darkened.
"Yes sir" his subordinate smiled.
Then he nodded his head and exited the room. It is only when Jaxon let go of his emotions.
He smashed the table and the glass pieces shredded on the floor.
He is about to smash almost everything when the shivering Butler entered the room.
"Sir, young master is here. He is asking to meet you" Butler said.
"Hmm… ask Edward to wait in my study room. I will freshen up and come" Jaxon smiled cunningly.
