Chapter 548 - Scott reveals truth to Jean..
"I will never misunderstand you Scott. Whatever you do is for my own good" Jean softly said and caressed his cheeks.
"It is not about misunderstanding Jean. It is about hiding a truth from you..." Scott said and sighed.
"It is something important to you but I am too selfish and I didn't want to risk your life or our baby's life. That is the reason I kept it as a secret from you. I just wanted to prevent you from stressing out so much" Scott said and leaned his head on her shoulder just like a child who wants kisses and hugs from his mother.
Jean melted instantly looking him like this. He has never lied to her not acted insincere with her until unless it is something which would affect her in a bad way.
Whatever he will be telling her now, she is damn sure that it is not something simple nor easy tasked.
"It's fine baby. I understand how you feel and I know how your over protective mind works like…just tell me the truth" Jean asked as she caressed his head that is leaning on on her chest now.
"I have to tell you many things Jean. It is actually a combination of both good and bad…." Scott said as he sighed in relief. Jean didn't get angered like she usually does with others.
"Tell me good one's first" Jean asked as she caressed her baby bump beneath her bathrobe. Scott slipped his hand into her bathrobe and caressed their baby bump before kissing it.
Jean is now looking at their hands which are on her stomach spreading love to their baby/babies. Her unwavering attention devoted to the moment they are sharing now.
"Jasper is your little brother by blood. He is yours and Jeff's younger brother" Scott abruptly said it and Jean froze.
"What did you say?" she asked all shocked. Her eyes are widened like a full moon due to the sudden surprising revelation.
"First, let me complete baby. I will answer you everything after it" Scott said and smoothened the lines formed on her forehead.
"Raymond is actually your cousin. He is Elder Valdez's youngest sister's grandson" Scott continued.
Jean who just recovered from previous shock again fell into an ocean of surprises.
"Madam Black is my grandfather's sister? No wonder my mother asked them to take care of me" Jean muttered.
She still remembers her mother taking her to Black family when she is younger. They are very close to her mother and now she understood the real reason of it.
Jasper and Raymond are her brothers….
She couldn't help but feel very happy about that….
Mainly Jasper being her blood brother made her fly to cloud nine.
Scott waited for his wife to digest the unexpected shocks. He knows that she will ask him many questions regarding it once she starts thinking.
As like Scott expected, her mind filled with doubts and confusion.
If Jas is his brother then what is he doing with Enrick and his family?
How did he end up with Council?
"He ended up in council because it is his family. Jean, it is not only a destiny for you to meet council. It is also your responsibility to lead Council…. you are born for that" Scott answered her unspoken question.
"Don't play with words Scott. Just tell me directly what you wanted to say" Jean asked as she leaned into his hug. She just wanted to assure him that she is strong enough to take any distressing news.
Scott tightened his arms around her and kissed a side of her face.
"Your mother Sophia is actually a council founder…Jean. She is also called as Diana" Scott explained and kissed her lips which are slightly opened due to shock. "I think you heard about her"
"Ho… how is it possible" Jean stuttered. Her mother in a kind woman who is actually sensitive by heart. She never even retaliated back when Vanessa use to humiliate her….
A woman like that…. how can she actually be the most powerful person of both council and country X…?
Simply unbelievable…
But again, even she is like her own mother. No one knows who she actually is…
Anyone who haven't seen her true colors would think in a same way she is thinking about her mother…
"Shocking right? But that is truth. Raymond's father, your parents and Rick's parents are very close just like a family. They are so close just like how we, Raymond and Nathan are…." Scott started explaining her everything.
But he made sure he gave her some time to digest whatever he was saying to her now.
...…
After thirty minutes, Jean is leaning on to his chest with her eyes closed.
Her face is pale and it is so evident that she is not feeling good. So many surprising shocks….
Kiara who is her best friend is actually cousin of Rick and she is aware of her maternal family since starting. Even Raymond knows everything about her…
She always thought Father Black (Raymond's father) is a bad person but he was the person who had looked after her.
Along with this, she is manipulated to join council. It didn't happen because she chose it. She is a council member because she is chosen over her twin brother by someone, she doesn't even know….
More importantly, she is more worried after listening to the relationship Valdez's share with Braxton's. It is so tainted and worse.
In addition to this, she herself is very much hated by them. She has been trying to dig out all their history using Johann as a bait. Including this, she is also daughter of their enemy and granddaughter of Elder Valdez with whom they have very bad history.
Thinking all these Jean shivered in Scott's arms and his heart ached for his wife. Looking at her pale face and terrified expression, Scott clenched his fists.
