Jane was so engrossed with what she was doing that she didn't know when Chris came inside, she was already thinking of going to call him soon
Chris sat down on the table, and that was when Jane noticed him she was a bit shocked, she was not expecting to see him now
"hmm I'm sorry I was going to come and call you, I was just so busy helping out in the kitchen" she apologized
"If you know you are so incompetent with your work you should resign, you do nothing anyways" Maria complained
"Mom it's fine, I'm here anyways and I'm not complaining about her work, I decide if she leaves or not, mom please don't interfere," Chris said and picked up a napkin and placed it on his lap
Maria and everyone were stunned, they never imagined Chris standing up to his mother just because of Jane, it was simply unbelievable
Maria looked at Jane with so much hatred, that she would find a way to chase her out of the house
Jane was pleased but also afraid of Maria she didn't want to get on anybody's bad side, she carefully placed Chris's food on his side of his table
"Estella get Christopher," he told her and Estella went upstairs to get the boy
"must that boy always eat with us, he's not a part of this family I will not condole this nonsense anymore, mother say something this is getting out of hand" Maria complained
"Mom, please stop humiliating my son like this. Can't you just respect and support my decision?" Chris was getting agitated
"Chris calm down and stop raising your voice at your mother" Williams scolded him
Seeing that it was like a gang up, Chris stood up to leave "Someone tells Estella not to bother bringing Chris here, he will eat with me in my room, Jane brings our food to my room" he ordered her
"sir" Jane called out to him there was no way she was doing that, Maria would hate her
Christopher looked at her she seemed to be trying to tell him something but he wasn't getting it
Jane looked at him intensely hoping he would understand what she was trying to say, she didn't want him to leave
Jane shook her head a bit so he could understand a bit better, soon Chris finally understood what she was trying to say to him and he couldn't refute her
"There's no need anymore we will eat here," he said
Everyone was stunned how come he changed his mind just like that, Jane just called him and didn't even say anything and he agreed to eat at the table again, something felt fishy and wrong
Maria looked at Jane with spite, she wondered what was going on but she never could have imagined that they were having an affair
Williams sat there silently observing what was going on, he knew this tactic too well not to recognize it
Chris came downstairs with Estella and something in his hands
"good evening Mom" he greeted his mother
"How are you son" she greeted him back
"good evening Dad, Grandma, and Grandpa" he greeted everyone and they greeted him back as well
"Mom see what Aunt got me" Chris happily showed Jane his new iPad
"oh really your aunt loves you" She rubbed his head and got back to serving Chris his food
Chris also showed his father before finally settling in
"that's good don't worry I will get Aunt a new car for taking very good care of you," Chris said
"wait what brother?" Grace jumped from her seat and ran towards her brother to give him a hug
"stop being a baby, will you" Chris giggled as Grace sprayed kisses all over his face
The scene was so sweet, it's been a long that Chris had been this sweet to anyone everyone noticed it including grandma
"hey my sweet boy, is there something you need to tell us, especially grandma," Rebecca asked him holding his hand, everyone looked his way waiting for him to say something
"uhhmm Grandma, why did you say that?"Chris asked
"It's nothing my boy it's just that these past few days you look and feel different, something seems to have changed," she said
"ohh it's nothing," he said and looked at Jane, their eyes locked and they looked away immediately
"We should eat then," Rebecca said seeing that he was not willing to open up, she decided not to pry too much
But Willams was observing everything
Dinner went smoothly, Maria could not throw tantrums, she had to accept this madness for now, soon enough they would be packing their bags and leaving this house she thought
Christopher would not let go of his new iPad, while Grace pampered him
Jane and Christopher stole glances at each other all through the dinner
Soon everyone went to their respective rooms after dinner
Jane went straight to her room after she finished clearing the table, Christopher was in Grace's room so she quickly wanted to take a shower
She had all her clothes already when her phone rang, she picked it up and it was Christopher
"where are you?" he asked
"I'm in my room," she said
"Can I come over?" he asked
"no you can't," she said
"you don't want me around?" he teased her
"no that's not it, it's just that it's still early and not everyone has gone to bed besides I'm about to go take a bath" she explained
"oh really what about we take a bath together," he said, Jane blushed she didn't even know how to respond to him
"I will hang up now, I will come to your room after I take my bath," she said and quickly hung up before he said something shameless again
She took her bath and went to her wardrobe all the clothes that she and Grace had shopped for earlier were staring right at her face there were so many that she didn't even know the one to wear, so she decided to wear a nightgown
