The Kidnapped Bride

Chapter 109 - Kill Jennifer?

Shawn didn't prey much into the conversation anymore and hung up immediately when he heard Lucas's words.

His eyes trailed towards Javier's back who was currently trying to ease his thoughts.

"You heard him, he isn't willing to cooperate as much as we earlier thought." Shawn didn't really want an exchange offer to take place. He gets whatever he has demanded, either ut be things or the man and in return, he is willing to let go of Jennifer.

But Javier Has some other plans regarding each situation which he isn't willing to disclose till yet.

His eyes turned narrowed with mist forming the layer of coldness and aloofness. Despite that, his eyes were fixed in the garden down to see his brother and Jennifer taking a look at each and every place.

"Javier, I asked you something..do you think that he will agree?" Shawn asked once again, this time in a more deep voice to sound more authentication but in return, Javier replied, "Too early to say anything."

"But we can't be left in the middle hanging. If Jennifer is of no use then why are we even trying to keep the lady in our space?"

In his point of view, why negotiate a hostage when she can not provide any advantage to them?

Moreover, if Jennifer wasn't the key to have the contact and get the thing done through Lucas, he probably was wasting his time by focusing on someone's security.

Rather, he will go for another alternative that will be effective on Lucas…

Javier's words didn't sound much satisfying to him so, in return, he added more, '"Javier, why keep this girl if she is no use? We should simply kill her-"

"Think before what you are going to do, dad. You don't want to be in any disadvantage position right?" Javier's threatening and cold voice, for a few mere seconds, made him wonder what kind of demon has taken over his child?

In the heat of the moment, he's changed his aura but Shawn had no idea that it was all because of his own words. "Mr. Johnson, let me remind you one thing if you aren't thinking in that way.."

Turning Around, he faced his father with a distant look plastered on his face, "You didn't notice how he growled in anger when I asked and told him about Jennifer? the time I? say that is beautiful? You must have missed but that..anger is something is of our use.."

Javier's mentioning the event related to Lucas, which made Shawn think twice about the next process. "Hm… Somewhere you're right. If that man cares, act that way means the lady at least has some spots. Also, he didn't simply decline us.."

"Absolutely. He said he will see what he can do. This indicated he is going to talk with his family related to it because the final decision isn't lying with him but elders whose agreement matters...."

Shawn nodded his head in understanding the entire process and now he can feel that everything was so useless.

Moreover, if seen correctly and all the points are joined right, then it is clear to see that Lucas has something for his bride, Jennifer...

Just the difference in Shawn and Javier's thinking was that Shawn took the same as love while Javier took it as some kind of motive that Lucas has, whose strands and strings are attached with Jennifer.

Seeing his father in a deep sea of thoughts, Javier spoke to tell him his conclusion, "He will agree to our demands. Don't worry, I know this man very well, he isn't what he depicts to be, and... somehow he is surely going to convince his family!"

….

At the same time, Charles brought her around the garden. It was huge, as her eyes roamed everywhere. "Is this solely a garden? Anyone can play any sport here too!"

More or less, it was an open ground with side by side, flowers planted and some swings, which were too large.

A smile covered her lips surrounding herself in nature. Her attachment with natural beauty is beyond to explain.

Charles notices her lingering on the flowers and the big space. "You are right. In earlier days, when I and Javier were young, we used to play many sports here. Our nanny used to stand under the shed and see us playing while our mother sometimes, used to come and... play along.."

Jennifer missed the emotions when he mentioned his mother, but that wasn't all the truth.

She was too much absorbed to see the greenery beneath her, the grass was perfectly grown with the bare minimum length.

"Hmm...looks like someone in this household does love these gardens a lot.." At the same time, her eyes lifted to see a fountain nearby.

"Yes. Our late mother used to love gardens...so does Javier and our younger sister...Oh, if you don't know her..-"

"I know.." Jennifer interrupted and answered. Turning around to ask, "Amaira, right?"

Charles nodded his head but was somehow surprised. 'Has Javier told her about who is Amaira's other stuff?' being unaware that Ellen and Ryan gave her the tour of their historical museum, he still thought she must not be aware of the deep past.

Unfortunately, Jennifer knew each step of their life too well to explain at this point.

She walked near the flowers, to see different colors of theirs. Her urge to touch them grew more but at the same time, she was afraid that if they will mind present here?

Though Charles asked her to roam as much as she wished to, but these flowers look mindblowing!

Jennifer has no intention to touch them without their permission but asking for the same permission is awkward in her sense.

Charles failed to see her hesitation, but someone appeared from the back when he spoke in his husky voice.

"Go Ahead. Touch them. You can feel their texture and its fragrance too. Don't hesitate."
