Third year studies are way challenging even for geniuses, fun time was over, this was adult time and work they must to achieve good results. Easter break was soon but for Mitchell teens, they were not going home, this break gave some students time to reflect, relax, and to some it was always library, researching or finishing assignments.
Michael was worried that Zetta was coming to visit yet none of her teen siblings will be home only Brandon, he thought that maybe it time he took her back or go back to London himself but what of Luke and Lucília, the twins loved staying in London. Michael decided to fly to London with Brandon to see Kristen's mom about his decisions.
Michael and Brandon arrived safely in London; at the airport, the twins, Zetta along with Kristen's mother were awaiting their arrival. They took Kristen's mom minivan back to her cottage house on the countryside. The kids went outside to play and the adults sat down for coffee, "thank you for your hospitality" saying Michael accepting the cup.
Michael explained the details of his visit... "I know you have been helping us but I think it my responsibility now, its been ten years since Mary [Michael's late wife & Linda's sister] passed"... continues Michael... "I am well prepared to take care of this family". Kristen's mom was astonished, these news were a shock but given the time it was well excepted.
Linda [Kristen's mother] told Michael to consult the kids of his decision and she will talk to Jason. He agreed and took a sip, "nice cup" Michael giggled together with Linda and they continued to reminiscence. Late afternoon, Michael sat down the kids and connected via Skype with the varsity teens and told them about his decisions.
The older siblings were happy to see the little ones, Michael asked each of their thoughts. The kids were taken by the news and were not biased, they supported their father's decision. They were please that they will be together in South Africa as a family. The teenage Zoete was happy yet a growing worry was brewing inside but why?
Unlike others, Zoete is curious yet everyone was calm and did not see the trouble looming close. It almost a year since Samantha's kidnapping happened, has everyone forgotten? What if Arthur's thugs strike again? Why is Michael rushing to finally bring his kids together?
Easter break was over and Brandon was back home, the ten year old was doing well in his first year of high school, even though Michael was against the decision for the principal to grade him so high but the boy was gifted so is the Mitchell bloodline. They are very talented and what outshines them the most is the love of God they share and being a united family.
Michael always joke to his young kids after reading them a bed time story, he always qoute "through love and happiness of my family, I delight". It Wednesday, normal day for school, varsity and work yet the troubled teen Zoete had other plans.
Zoete bunks lectures and report to the Mitchell Corp headquarters, she disguise herself as one of the cleaners and she's assigned to clean the Chairman office and this fits exactly with her plans. She walks in the room and finds her father and some delegates about to finish and politely asks for cleaning, while they are clearing the room, she slips a note in Michael's jacket and he noticed.
Michael reads the note outside, "Father, it's me Zoete, need a word"... He comes back and very disturbed as to why she would risk it all to come here. He locks the door behind him and orders the cameras to shut down, in a French phrase, behind his bookshelf opens to the isolation room, they depart to it and sit down. He wait for his daughter to speak her mind, she starts by apologising and explain she is here.
"Father, I have known you seven years now and I never acknowledged and thanked you enough. Yet now I seek your guidance" Zoete pauses... Michael frees her to speak her mind "Father, I have been thinking of how did it come for you to go across the seas to find me and how I seem to be there for my siblings like you... I understand now, I seem to be there as me I am older, I take before you to care for our family but I have apartheid myself from you as a father so now I come before you for your counsel" Zoete continues.
"I know I asked before and you assured me that matters of the heart can only be decided upon by me"... Zoete pauses, Michael replies by telling her about Mary and their life together, their twenty years of marriage. She's very touch and teary, she thanks her father and head back to varsity. The question now is what happens now?
Did Zoete find what she seeks? What surprises that awaits everyone? Will Boy Wonder final settle matters of love or will he follow in his sister's footsteps? What of the lonely heart of Herny has he finally accepted not being received? Lets see what unfolds next... Its Ashley and Simone....
Herny and Simone were on lunch and eating at the food court and Kristen, Ashley and Monique walked by. They exchanged greetings and after Simone asks his friend on how well he knows Ashley, Herny replied "Ashley can be humble, I don't know why she is the queen bee and hides her true self"
Herny then noted "why do you ask", almost caught Simone denounce he's just looking out for his cousin, being Kristen's first varsity friends, he does not want her to get hurt. Herny believes him without a doubt. They continue their lunch before separating for lectures.
Kristen meets Simone for Art theory lecture, he asks her of her new friends, she reply they are OK just Samantha said I ought to be careful of them after all Ashley wants her pretty claws on you. Simone laughs and deems that untrue, Kristen suspects more given Simone's facial expression. He asks of her plans today and she tells him, they will be going to the movies.
Simone sees chance, texts Herny that they are going to the movies. Late that day at the cinema, all are watching the same movie, Simone booked the seats nearest to the steps as to see one going outside and Ashley went out but she didn't see them. Simone tells his friend he's going to toilet and head out.
Outside Simone pats Ashley on the shoulder and pretend to be surprised to see her here because movies are just not her scene. Ashley laughed and replies to be surprised also as it just not his scene to be also here. Simone put the blame on Herny while Ashley put it on her friends. They walk to the popcorn stand and Simone buys for her and her friends.
Ashley thanks him and inside Herny grows weary about his friend so he heads outside and what he sees is a shock, there distance away Simone and Ashley are very smitten. Herny quickly goes back to the movie, surprise about what he just witness. Simone comes back, sit down and concentrate on the rest of the movie. Herny laughs to himself at his friend digression.
Ashley also came back with popcorns, giving them to her friends and they thank her. Kristen teased her on why she took so long and suddenly lovey dovey smile, she denied it and says that the movie is very entertaining. Kristen is amuse all her speculation are true because she saw Simone so definitely something is brewing between her cousin and her friend.
