Chapter 242 - Eat more and more of it..
Jean woke up after four hours of check up. First she thought of checking on Scott before disguising herself back, but after listening to a unfamiliar voice from the next room she put her eye glasses and tie her hazel hair into a pony and exited her room.
As she entered the living room an old woman in her sixties is sitting on the couch across Scott. They both are talking casually and when they noticed her presence Scott smiled widely before ushering her to sit beside him.
"Jean meet Madam Valdez, she is private doctor who treated father. If it isn't for her special care then dad would not have been this healthy" Scott entwined their fingers together.
Madam Valdez froze and stared at Jean for a brief moment, she looked familiar and somehow she felt close to the woman she just met now.
Jean smiled politely and greeted her with sheer sincerity. That smile, how her eyes sharply scrutinized the surroundings….it felt very well known from close association.
"Madam Valdez, meet my fiancée Jean Grey" Scott brought her back from her daze. She quickly composed her posture and smiled sweetly.
Jean Grey….that name, she is very well known with. That might be the reason she looked familiar…
"So, this is your mysterious fiancée. I think I listened your name many times from Maria and Jeffery, even his friend Enrick has talked about your accomplishments. I am not aware of the university, my daughter is the one who looks into the issues" she smiled as she remembered how many trophies and tittles Jean have won since five years….
"You are flattering me Madam. I am not that special as you think, it is just because me and Enrick are working together on our thesis. We decided to compete for best student award" Jean beamed. Only if she have seen Scott's expression..
When Scott listened the names Jeffry and Enrick he identified who that persons are, it is common that they know about Jean as they studied in same university and worked in same hospitals for some brief time.
But why isn't he informed that Jean is working with her 'ex-crush' on her most excited thesis…..he didn't like the view he imagined when Jean and Enrick sitting together and working on same project from morning to evening. He was her crush once and Enrick have also felt like her before…
"Hmm….that's good. Enrick is really a potential candidate to work together, why don't you also apply to do your new research with Jeff and his team" She suggested. Jean really deserves it but she have never applied for it before.
"Yes, Madam. I already got nominated long back. I just have to accept but I have so much in my plate already do I think I cant afford to pay more attention to this. I don't want to ruin their work by being irregular" Jean smiled guilty, but her grandmother liked how straight forward she is..
Scott felt relieved from listening to it. He didn't understand why he is eating vinegar over nothing…
Meanwhile…..
"Sir, Elder Madam is talking with Mr. Summers and Ms. Grey. She looked surprised as well as confused" nurse spoke and hurriedly went inside the kitchen to prepare some snacks for almighty Valdez..
His heart skipped a beat after listening to what his nurse said. 'surprised and confused' but why? Did she notice the resemblance between her deceased daughter and granddaughter whose existence is not yet known to Valdez family.
If it is the case then he is utterly doomed…..with the trembling legs he stumbled all his way to the living floor in downstairs. His heart is thumping loudly while his breathe fastened and he started to feel suffocated as the voices started to become clear and audible.
He slowly entered the room and sighed in relief after noticing that Jean is in disguise. Her eyes, how her face looks with hair flowing freely down her waist…..it resembled Sophia. Thank god that Jean inherited hazel hair from her father otherwise she would have been easily identified as Sophia's daughter.
"Madam Valdez" Charles Wen greeted her politely.
"I never knew that almighty Madam Valdez is acquainted with my favorite student" he smiled indifferently but only he knows how his heart is racing in a fast pace..
"I know Scott because he is son of Stephen. As for Jean I just met her now, but I listened about her" she smiled at her colleague. Before she got married into Valdez's they use to be good friends..
They talked for some time before Jean and Scott excused themselves to go back to their guest house. Jean should look into the terms and conditions that has to be negotiated the next day.
Scott didn't talk anything as they drove to the house. Whereas Jean is busy in studying a book related to her upcoming exams.
Soon they entered the house Scott pinned her to the door and kissed her passionately. In between their war of dominance Scott couldn't help but ask her about Enrick. She don't know that Scott is aware of her crush on Enrick Richards before she met him. But he didn't mind it till now
"Hmm.. He is just a friend I met not long back. Though I know him from before, we started to talk with each other very recently. By the way do you know that he was my crush once" Jean giggled like a teenager.
Scott's eyes darkened and dangerous glint flashed across his face. Should he be happy that she didn't hesitate to tell him about her crushes or should he be jealous that he was her first crush and that she met him even before they met in business school. But he decided to go on with first thought of being happy. Why to eat vinegar when he is already married to her. But still he couldn't stop but feel very envious…
"Is that so, why are you giggling like that. Hmm.. Looks like he is still your young crush" Scott looked into her eyes and demanded, Jean is totally enjoying his jealousy…he looked so cute.
"Silly…it is before five years. I didn't meet you then so no need to sulk like this" Jean chuckled. "But he is my first crush though" she added more fuel just after extinguishing it a little.
"Very first?.." Scott raised his eyebrow as he pressed her even more tightly in between door and his body.
"Yep, I have never felt like that ever before. Rick was first and later it is you" Jean chuckled.
"Rick??... When did you guys became that close. Huh…" Scott looked into her eyes with blazing fire. He already completed eating tons of vinegar and after listening her calling him intimately he couldn't stop but eat more and more of it.
