As Jay stepped into the grand hall, he felt a sense of nostalgia mixed with anticipation. He was back home, but so much had changed within him. His family was waiting for him just as he remembered: his father standing tall and proud, his grandfather observing him with that sharp, discerning gaze, and his mother's warm smile that instantly put him at ease.
His mother moved forward first, wrapping him in a heartfelt hug. "Jay, it's been too long," she murmured, pulling back to look at him, her eyes shining with happiness.
Jay smiled. "I missed you too, Mom. It's good to be back."
After his father greeted him with a proud pat on the shoulder and a few words of encouragement, Jay met his grandfather's steady gaze. "Grandfather," he said respectfully.
The old man gave a slight nod, his voice calm but filled with approval. "You've proven yourself, Jay. You've earned your place in this family, and I hope you now understand the value of the legacy we've built."
Jay nodded. "I do. I've learned what it means to work for something real and lasting. I'm ready to take on whatever responsibilities lie ahead."
His grandfather gave a satisfied smile, stepping back to let the family reconnect. Jay's gaze turned back to his mother, who was still looking at him with a blend of joy and pride.
"Actually, Mom, I was hoping to ask you something," he said, smiling a little mischievously.
"Oh? And what's that?" she asked, her curiosity piqued.
Jay chuckled. "I heard from Antonio that you have been shopping a lot in my absence, So, I was thinking, now that I'm back, maybe we could go out and pick up a few things together. A proper mother-and-son day out."
Her eyes lit up at the suggestion, and she laughed. "Well, you're right—I do love a good shopping spree. And I'd love nothing more than to go with you!"
Jay grinned, feeling a sense of warmth and comfort that only family could bring. His father chuckled from nearby. "You two will be out all day, no doubt," he said, smiling. "Your mother knows all the best places, Jay. You're in for a treat."
No problem said jay , he will pay for all the things mom want.
The conversation drifted to other family memories and stories of his childhood, each moment reminding him of just how special this homecoming was. They spent the evening laughing, reminiscing, and planning their outing for the next day, as Jay's father and grandfather observed with a quiet pride.
As the evening unfolded, Jay suddenly remembered Amelia, who had joined him on the trip to Italy and was waiting nearby with Celia. He took a breath and said to his mother, "Mom, there's someone I'd like you to meet."
He led her to the sitting room where Amelia and Celia were waiting, enjoying the view of the vast estate. As soon as Jay and his mother entered, Amelia and Celia stood up, slightly nervous but smiling.
"Mom, this is Amelia," Jay introduced her, a hint of pride in his voice. "She's...a friend of mine and helped a lot with my journey."
Jay's mother raised an eyebrow, glancing between the two of them with an amused smile. "A friend?" she repeated, her tone playful.
Amelia's cheeks flushed as she offered her hand politely. "It's a pleasure to meet you, Mrs. Russo."
"Please, call me Sofia," his mother replied warmly, shaking her hand. She looked at Jay with a knowing smile that only a mother could give. "Jay, she's lovely. I can see why you value her company so much."
"And this is Celia. She is the daughter of senator who helped me recently." Jay also introduced Celia. Sofia replied "I don't mind but having two girlfriend would be difficult. "
Jay rolled his eyes with a smile, sensing where his mother's thoughts were going, but decided not to comment. Amelia and Celia smiled shyly, catching on to Mrs. Russo's hint but also keeping it light.
After introductions everyone had dinner and enjoyed the talking with family and after that everyone headed to their own rooms . Celia and Amelia were given the guest rooms . Although this was a mansion bu it was no smaller than the castle people had back in the days .
After coming to his room jay asked system that would it be possible to get negative reviews online from YouTube or instagram.
After some time system replied ,
