Chapter 493 - Coaxing Jean..
"I know you went to country B, Scott. I can't take your lies anymore" Jean scoffed.
Scott froze as he got caught red handedly. He didn't expect his wife to pull out the strings this efficiently. His mission is a top notch secret, that even Raymond is totally unaware of it.
But his wifey who is not even in contact with any of her teams easily found about this. He couldn't help but admire her. She really have a good hold over her teams and other matters related to council.
However, now he have to find some alternative excuse for lying to her. He can't just tell her how risky it is for both the Valdez's and her to have this reunion.
She still doesn't know that her mother is a council founder and faked her death just because she don't want this family to be in trouble just because of her.
After all Valdez's and Braxton's have a bitter sweet relationship and the consequences can be even more terrible once they find out the truth that some of the Valdez's are connected to council directly.
He can't just tell her that he took this grave risk just to eradicate the proofs that might lead Johann to find out the truth. To others it might seem like Scott is taking revenge for what happened to his wife but in reality he is just destroying every way that might lead enemies in finding the truth.
What happened is already past and no one can change it. So he is trying to prevent that past from repeating itself.
Meanwhile Jean who saw his frowning face couldn't help but feel extremely sad. The tension and anxiety she dammed up in her heart busted out.
No one knows how worried she has been after finding out that her husband is in country B…
No one knows about the nightmares she has been getting since she woke up. She is very afraid of losing him and even the thought of not seeing him for at least one day is enough to make her die with worry.
It is how the recent event have made her…she felt so restless and irrational. And that was the reason she pestered him to take her with him. So, she can see him and accompany him.
Like this, if something happens to them it will impact both of them and will not leave the other heart broken.
She is being pessimistic but she couldn't help it. Others might think that she is being clingy and she couldn't deny it either. She is in fact being clingy and exceptionally stubborn.
It isn't that they have never been away from each other. She is just worried a lot…..
A tear slowly rolled down her cheek. She didn't understand why she felt so melancholic but she knew that she started feeling very emotional. In addition to this her mood swings are becoming worse.
"Baby, I never thought of lying to you. I never dared until now, but this time I really couldn't help it. You are pregnant and the doctors have also warned not to stress you so much….I just don't want you to worry about something that I could handle" Scott who saw her teary eyes flashed back to reality.
He knew she is very hurt because of him….
Jean bit her lip and averted her gaze quickly. His sincere and heartfelt gaze made her melt and it made her use all her power not to cry and hug him. She is so angry on him that she wanted to punish him very badly…
She can't just explain him how worried she is. That attack on her left a huge impact that it made her worry about all the persons close to her…..mainly Scott.
And he still opted to put himself in danger just to avenge on something that was already past. However she doesn't know that he put himself in danger just to destroy any evidences that might prove that Sophia Valdez is Jean's mother.
"Baby, please look at me" Scott pleaded and gently hugged her. He is currently hovering over her propped up on his arm but as he hugged her his warm body enveloped her in a tight hug.
Jean couldn't resist anymore as she hugged him tighter and buried her face in his neck.
"I hate you Scott. You lied to me that you are going to country A and went to country B. Didn't you at least think once what would me and our baby would have done without you. Or are you at least aware that Johann had very strong foot in country B…..how can you even risk your life just to capture the people who tried to kill me and our baby. It is your pure luck that you came back safely…." Jean shouted as she sniffled her sob.
Damn her hormones! She is acting like a old lady crying for each and every thing.
But who can blame her, she got attacked in the same country in which Council has every power and authority. Then how can she just stay in peace when her husband did his 'incredulous stunt' by attacking Johann in his own country.
She knew that her husband and his teams are very very efficient. But who knows how efficient this Johann is…
"Baby, I am not a fool right. I planned this too cautiously keeping all the pros and cons in my mind. We used all his weak points and attacked him using it and moreover he is not there in the country itself." Scott chuckled and kissed her forehead tenderly.
"But I am sorry honey. I thought I could complete this mission without letting you know about it. But I didn't think t will turn out like this. I know you are so worried about me" Scott apologized and kissed her lips.
They are totally unaware that Johann is just a mile away from them.
