Chereads / The Brilliant Wife / Chapter 22 - TWENTY TWO

Chapter 22 - TWENTY TWO

The reading of minds in Jenny was disappearing but she was waiting for one person to come visit her and bring her back home.

Patty bought a lot of health supplements for her mother. She bought presents also for Jenny. She didn't know Jenny had given birth. She packed them all and drove over to her mother's residence.

.......

Old Mrs. McCarthy welcomed Patty in. She was glad to see her runaway daughter who couldn't even visit. She knew the reason why Patty visited but pretended as if knowing nothing.

......

Patty couldn't bear seeing Henry left alone with no one to console him so she made a bet with him, "if I bring sister to you, would you be willing to give me half of your shares in the company?"

Henry had looked at her and laughed, "I have searched everywhere for her and haven't found her, who are you to find her?" He had asked.

"Brother in-law, you have searched all but one place," she had said.

"Where?" He asked surprised.

"My mother's place," she replied him.

"Your mom?" Henry repeated.

"Yes, she keeps lying to you but I am sure my sister is there."

"How am I sure you also don't know that she's been there all this while?"

"You can search my phone. She haven't called me once," she replied.

"You want half of my shares," he was saying, "you sure are greedy and nothing like your sister."

"That's why we are different," she replied him, "interested or not?"

"Interested," he replied.

.......

Patty sat in the sitting room having a gist with her mother when the door to the house opened. She couldn't believe her eyes when she saw a resemblance of Henry running to go hug her mother. She looked at her sister and sneered in her heart. Unknowingly, Jenny do hear her thoughts. "So you do have a child?" She said in her mind and smiled at Jenny.

"Hey there sister," she greeted and watched Jenny smile and hug her.

"Patty," she screamed, "it's been long, Pat."

"Yes, it's been. I have missed you," she said to Jenny.

"Miss my foot," Jenny said in her mind, "same here," she replied and called Alexis, "this is my son, Alexis," she said to Patty.

"Wow! He is handsome," Patty replied.

"Yes he is like his father is," she added and held Patty's hand. This gesture felt like a warm gesture but in reality she was checking the warmness of her hand to see her sincerity.

"Hello, Alexis," Patty called and smiled at Alexis who held her hands.

"Heyo," he told her and ran back to where Margarita was seated.

........

" Please come back home," Patty pleaded with Jenny, "he really needs company."

"I don't know what to say. I divorced him Patty, he is free to marry anybody," Jenny said and watched Patty.

" Yes he is free but he is not sparing me the glance because of you," she said in her thoughts. " He is free but he wants you," she said to Jenny.

Jenny pretended to be thinking about it but was hearing Patty's line of thought, "get over with your thinking and come back home. I am now powerful than you. You have nothing while I have half of your husband's shares," she smiled and held Jenny's hand, "I am richer than you now," she said in her thoughts and left Jenny in her thoughts.
