The weekend came faster than Lucy expected, she really missed her daughter, she couldn't wait to get home so she could spend some time with her daughter.
Jackson who wanted to see her daughter drove them home , she brought up her hand to ring the doorbell but the door flung open, Christabel jumped into her Lucy's arms, they hugged for awhile , then she hugged Lucia.
they all walked in Alison screamed in surprise and Luciano who was reading a newspaper raised his head to see who it was , " Jackson ?" he smiled.
" wow welcome" Luciano said
" mum I and mama Alison made some cookies, would you like to taste it ? " Christabel said trying to get their attention.
" I would love to, she's been spending lot of time with you in the kitchen " Lucy said and smiled.
" yeah , you either find her in the kitchen with me or in the garden, she also loves reading, Steve has been working on some art and she is always with him when he is doing his working on the art " Alison spoke.
Alison left the living room to the kitchen and came back with cookies while Christabel was holding a juice.
dropping the glass cups she was holding on the table, she started asking Jackson so many questions, he smiled while answering them but frowned when they asked if he was married.
Christabel turned to him and said, " hello handsome"
" Christabel !!" Lucy screamed.
" what mum ? , I was only greeting him "
" hello beauty" he answered and she giggled.
" why are you laughing ? " Lucy asked
" nothing, papa Luciano took me , Steve, Steph and Leah to the beach, we had fun and that made me wish you were here" Christabel said making Lucy to smile.
" and oh I forgot grandma came to visit, she bought me lot and lot of flowers".
Lucy nodded , Lucia smiled, they kept discussing while Christabel asked Jackson questions and she will laugh out loud when he says something funny.
It was time for Jackson to go , she saw him of to his car with Lucia who was going his way , " Lucy , Christabel is a lovely child"
" yes she is " she smiled looking down at her daughter who held her hand.
" will you come tomorrow as you promised ? " Christabel asked and he nodded.
" I will " he replied.
" pinky promise"
" I promise"
He stared at Lucy for awhile and muttered the word' goodbye' as if he was reluctant to leave.
she waved at him after he entered into his car, Lucia hugged Christabel tightly before leaving.
They went back into the house, " mum I like that old friend of yours, Jackson"
" oh , you don't easily trust people,but it seems like you trust him more than you trust me " she said in a sad voice.
" that's not true" she replied.
" that's not true, Christabel can't trust anyone more than man " Alison said as she cleared the table .
" he looks like the man you have been waiting for" Christabel said making Alison to laugh.
" his married" Lucy responded.
