Chapter 128: You love him most

Arianna took over the steering and drove. Jace just sat by the copilot seat, he didn’t say a word from the moment Arianna got Eli and went to the car.

Arianna had to coax him to let her handle the Steering. He reluctantly gave her the car key and took the seat next to hers.

Eli was quiet. He doesn’t know why his dad wouldn’t let him have dinner with his grandparents. It also seemed as if his dad wasn’t feeling happy.

It was if Jace could read mind, he glanced at Eli from the rear mirror and said “Sorry Eli, something came up. Do you still want to have dinner or go back home?”

“Let’s go home today, daddy. And tomorrow, you’ll take me out” Eli answered. Jace nodded and stayed relaxed.

When they eventually arrived home, Jace got Eli from the car to the dinning. He sat down there, ensuring he had his dinner before asking his nanny to look after him for the rest of the night.

“Daddy” Eli called just as Jace stood up to go. He turned and glared at his son with a calm composed expression.

“Did you tell my mummy about the baby?” Eli asked, his facial expression twitched.

“I haven’t. But I promise to talk to her. Just believe in what your daddy says, okay?” Jace responded smiling and came over to kiss his temple.

Henry Hudson and his wife Amelia walked in to find the remorseful Chase in the sitting room.

“Were you crazy a while ago, huh Chase? What has come over you? How can you talk your brother down like that in the presence of his girlfriend?

Don’t you have any regards for him? He is your elder brother and you trampled upon him like that simply because you know he wouldn’t banter words with you?” Henry Hudson reprimanded his son.

“He might be telling the truth, Henry, ” Amelia said, not comfortable with her eldest son’s quietness a while ago. She expected Jace to react and rebuffed Chase, but he didn’t.

It made her worried and she requested him to do something she very well knew he wouldn’t. She is worried about him.

“What truth Amelia? You believe this fellow here more than Chase? There isn’t anything wrong with my son, okay?

Chase is trying to change the subject from himself to Jace. He was furious that Jace talked about it and decided to humiliate him” Henry snorted.

“I know dad, that you and mum love Jace the most. He is the smart, intelligent son you have. The only hardworking and decent person in this family.

Everything revolves around him and I meant nothing to you both. Fine. He is your first and eldest son. He is the eldest master of the Hudson’s family.

He is the heir and carries the family’s title everywhere and anywhere. I am nobody in this house, I don’t matter and I am not important.

So go ahead and believe him. He is the saint here and I am the bad guy, I’ve always been the black sheep of the family. Everyone should stay away from me henceforth.

As for the woman with my child, I will decide what I do about it. I don’t need you to meddle in my affairs. I am an adult. Leave me and stay away” Chase seethed and got out angrily.

Amelia wanted to go after him, but Henry held her back “Let him go. He needs to make his own decisions now”

Chase Hudson got into his car and drove home. So furious he went to the wine cellar and took a bottle of vodka and poured it into a glass.

Now that he has gotten into a fight with everyone in his family, he is alone. He has to make a decision on what to do with Rosalinda Black.

Marry her or get her to live in his Mansion as his baby mama?

“Others may not believe it, but I do. I know you more than anyone else right now. I know what you look like when you are nude and I know exactly how charming you are when you are suited up.

Your unusual quietness is making me uncomfortable. When I discovered Senator Adrian Delmark is my father, you stood by me and showed me how much you loved me.

And now that you are like this, I want to be there for you, Jace. I love you very much. Chase Hudson is your brother, don’t let the nonsense he talked affects you, Jace” Arianna coaxed.

Jace turned and glanced at her, with a forced smile. “I am not thinking about what he said, I’m analysing the stages of punishment I will give him. Chase is one crazy guy when he’s upset.

And the better part of it is that I am capable of putting him back to his right senses. Don’t worry about him” he declared and kissed her temple.

In an exquisite sitting room, an old woman was seated and before her was her son. The woman was happy, from the moment it was known that her granddaughter was found, her strength returned and she looked forward to seeing her.

“I discovered she works for Hudson’s holding. I will bring her to you soon, but would you wait until the election is over?” Abby Santiago declared.

“I will try to wait. I’ve waited for years. These two months before the election will not be too difficult for me” Grandma Santiago declared.

Oh Susan, her dear daughter. She would be with Susan’s daughter at last.

“Remind me what I promised you tonight” Jace asked, planting a kiss on Arianna’s temple and running his hands on her lower belly.

“Did you really promise to drain me of every strength tonight again?” Arianna asked, pulling out of the kiss.

“Maybe. You like to run your mouth and I love to follow up with my actions” Jace teased, placing his finger on her lips to prevent her from making a sound when he asked “Marry me Arianna”

Arianna pushed him off “Don’t you know the proper way to propose to a woman? Go learn it” she said, turning her back to him.

“Hmmm, maybe I’ll need to learn after I make you pregnant for the second time” Jace mumbled.

Arianna turned abruptly to face him. “Before getting pregnant again, we should go legal first” she snapped at him.

“Yeah, I really want to fulfil Eli’s wishes and you are the only one who can help me fulfil it. Our son needs a sibling. Let’s get married and then You’ll be pregnant” Jace explained.

“You can be sure that I will accept your proposal, but do it right,” Arianna teased. “It then means you have accepted my proposal” Jace asked, kissing the nook of her neck.
