Chapter 53 - Familiar

It was a saturday evening, a week after the Cyan's declaration of Jade as his girlfriend, it was more peaceful now on the internet even though the topic was still discussed occasionally, that evening Jade visited Anthony's home with Cyan because the two men had a tennis match to watch, she was allowed to roam around the house and that was just enough for her. She picked X.L and settled on the pavement by the tennis lawn in the house then she began to munch the pear she had picked from the kitchen at home, everything was silent until two middle aged figures, a man and a woman climbed up the pavement to sit and when they noticed Jade they began to mumble to one another until the woman decided walked to Jade and sit beside her "hi Jade, how are you?" the woman greeted "good day mam" Jade greeted in confusion, she wondered where she knew the woman and the woman smiled "i am Anthony's mum, Nancy Castiel, Vera told us about you and according to what we saw on the interner last week, we could tell Cyan cherished you, he his such a lucky boy" the woman said and sighed as the thought of her own son crossed her mind "oh, nice meeting you" Jade muttered with a faint smile and Mrs Nancy patted her in acknowledgement "what news were you talking about?" Jade asked and mrs Nancy raised a brow "didnt you see the news?, it was all over the inter...." just then the middle aged man inserted a grape in mrs Nancy's mouth and smiled at Jade, while the woman frowned and Jade looked at him strangely "you shouldnt mind what she says" he told Jade and the woman swallowed the grape in her mouth "what do you.." he suddenly put another grape in her mouth with a smile making mrs Nancy blaze with anger while Jade watched them strangely "by the way, i am Louis Castiel, Anthony's father, nice meeting you" he said and Jade nodded in awknowledgement "you, whats your problem" mrs Nancy screamed and mr Louis pulled her closer, "dont you think it's strange that she doesnt know about the news, Cyan must have hidden it from her why must you spill it" mr Louis mumbled to her and her eyes brightened in understanding, she moved away from her husband with a smile "so Jade what do you do" she asked and "i dance" Jade muttered but with a slightly confused expression, weren't they discussing a news just now, "wow, thats good, very good, what school did you attend?, are you done schooling?, or are you still schooling?" mrs Nancy asked "i didnt attend school, Turlip and Ixora lectured me" Jade said and took a big bite of her pear while mrs Nancy's expression became very strange "no school?, at all?" she asked "no" Jade said and the atmosphere became awkward "i could hardly tell that you didnt attend school, you are so smart" mr Louis said relieving the atmosphere and Jade smiled then silence filled the air, "where are you from" mr Louis asked he seemed to have just woken up from his thought, "Tuner's town" Jade muttered and he scanned her and sighed "you look very familiar" he said "if you..." "we would leave now good bye Jade" mr Louis interrupted his wife and pulled her away despite her protest while Jade leaned back on the wall, made a long sigh then continued with her pear.

Mr Louis pulled his wife to a small garden in the house and she stumped on his foot and sat down begrudginly while he sighed, "can't you tell you are making her uncomfortable" he said but she wasnt ready to listen to him, "she resembles miss pearl alot except for the blonde hair" mr Louis said as he settled on the second chair, and mrs Nancy turned to him "miss pearl?, the same old miss pearl?" she chanted and he nodded "could she be miss pearl's offspring..., but that would be impossible according to the story, miss pearl dissappeared for many years and when her body was found she was dead, there was no record that she ever had a child" mrs Nancy said "we can't say but if truly she is miss pearl's offspring, i fear the peaceful days of the castiel family is coming to an end" mr Louis said and mrs Nancy sighed "her life would be in grave danger if she is, i really hope she is not" she said and leaned back on her sit "keep your observations to yourself for now, let fate reveal it all" mr Louis said and his wife nodded in understanding
