Chapter 488 - Scott felt Danielle's husband little familiar...
"Well, that a long story. When the time comes, you will get to know how Thomas is connected to council. But for now let it be like that….." Raymond apologized.
Telling about Thomas, his first wife and Danielle….these topics are very interconnected to something which Scott is not yet ready to know.
As like Ed said, somethings has to be revealed only at right timing.
"It's fine, anyway I am not planning to ask you to reveal everything either. But it is killing me Raymond, there are so many things that I have to hide from Jean. I couldn't even tell her that I was in country B. She even accused me that I am keeping another woman" Scott sighed.
He is yet to pacify his wife….and he knew that she is pissed off.
"Then tell her Scott. She is not that weak hearted and I strongly believe that she will be able to connect this dots more accurate than us" Raymond said.
Scott sighed. "Will you tell Seline about this version of yours. Even after knowing that it will make her worried" Scott asked in return.
And this is Raymond's turn to sigh. Of course he can't tell her now, especially when she is pregnant with their baby girls. In a same manner Scott didn't wanted to let his pregnant wife worry.
She might have not taken this danger as a big deal if she isn't pregnant. With their babies baking inside her, Jean will be deeply worried if something happens.
They both sat quietly as their minds filled up with their own thoughts and worries. Neither of them are in no mood to talk.
Just to break the silence, Iris made a call to them. She couldn't help them wbecause she is now taking care of Danielle who is in her eighth month.
Because of the minor spine injury Danielle is subjected to bed rest and her big brother is beyond worried that he literally begged her to stay with Danielle.
As Rick and Hope are now in their short holiday, she took him to her family home. So, even he is not in position to help them.
After all, everyone of them have their own family and their own lovers to take care of…..
When Iris connected the video call, Raymond panicked seeing her teary eyes. She is crying and her face is red.
"Rissy, what happened. Why are you crying….did that idiot Rick teased you again" Raymond asked.
Meanwhile Scott sat there, dumbfounded and surprised. It is very evident that Raymond knows Iris and Rick too well.
He is calling Iris as Rissy as if she is just like his sister. It is too new for Scott to encounter this situation, till now he is in a mind set that Rick and Iris get close to their other friends just because of Jean.
But the irony here is they knew each other from long back and got close to Jean with a perfect plan. It seems like their encounters with Jean are pre-planned.
"No big brother. Rick didn't tease me nor something like that has happened. It is Jeff, his engagement is being planned on the same day of Jean's wedding. That coward didn't even tell anything when his grandfather talked to him about it. He don't love me enough" Iris sniffled her sob and covered her mouth so Danielle who is sitting peacefully will not get disturbed by it.
Scott who is in trance woke up as he heard it. Yes, his parents are going to come on the next day to fix their wedding dates. Then, if what Iris said now is true that means Jeff and Mia's engagement will also be announced.
So bad that Jeff is a coward to even ask his grandfather to postpone the engagement..
"Rissy, do you want me to help you in this. You know I can help you right?" Raymond asked softly. It quite resembled how he always treat Jean with uttermost care.
Iris understood what he mean and she gently shook her head sideways. "No big brother. This is not right time yet, if Elder Valdez finds out about this council and other things he will be beyond worried. And if he get to know about everything then they will also find out about Jasper." Iris sighed.
"If Braxton's or Johann find out about Jasper. Then it's done Raymond!! Everything would be a waste. We cant risk it" Iris became emotional.
Raymond sighed. "It's fine Rissy. We will think of something all right. And, how is Elle" Raymond asked.
Scott who just completed his another call wondered what Elle is doing there. Scott expected to see a fifteen years old cousin sister of Raymond but he saw a woman with very big stomach. She is sitting on a recliner with a book in her hand. Whereas her other hand is placed on her stomach.
He couldn't help but imagine his wife with swollen belly. Scott sighed tiredly as he remembered how pissed his wife is on the day he came to country B.
He missed her so much and he wondered if his wife is missing him or not. Little he would have expected that he would get two more competitors as soon as he go back to her.
As he is in his deep thought Scott just got a glimpse of a man's broad back in the corner of the room in the video call. His hazel silky hair and his physique are too familiar that Scott frowned.
But he vanished as fast as he showed up, it is just like Scott imagined someone. As no one responded Scott just decided that it is someone insignificant.
After Raymond ended the call Scott looked at him questioningly.
"Well, the woman you saw now is daughter of Thomas with his first wife. Daniel knows about his step sister but Elena still doesn't know. Her name is Danielle and she is daughter of Vanessa's sister"
