"hey Chris wait up" Grace shouted after her brother
"and where are you going, are you starting to follow me around now?" Chris teased her
"of course not, I just want to see my cute nephew that's all, that's where you are going right?" Grace asked
"hmmm," Chris said and nodded
"I miss you Chris," Grace said emotionally
"miss me, I'm right over here" Chris replied her
"no not this Chris I mean the old Chris" Grace said and they both stopped
Chris looked at his younger sister, he knew exactly what she was talking about but he was not ready to have this conversation with her
"Chris," she said holding his hand " what happened that night?" Grace asked her voice almost sounding like a whisper
Chris still said nothing, he couldn't possibly tell her what happened that day, she would probably hate him for the rest of her life
"I miss my brother, I miss you playing with me and scolding me whenever I touch your video games, I miss you reading me stories to sleep and giving me advice, I miss all of that, my brother is not the arrogant and bossy CEO who never smiles always cold and distant, no that's not you Chris, what the heck happened that night?" Grace pressured
She didn't even know she was crying until Chris reached out to wipe the few tears that had managed to escape from her eyes
"I can't tell you Grace," Chris said his voice void of emotion
"is that bad and serious that you can't tell not even me, we always tell each other everything remember, this is not just about Angel right, something else happened right?" Grace asked him
"I'm sorry Grace but I can't tell you, one thing I can say is that I did something very bad and I can't forgive myself until I take retribution" Chris replied and Grace broke down in tears
Chris hugged her comforting her
"I want you to be your old self back, I miss you so much" Grace wailed
Chris didn't reply to her but he just kept patting her back
When he noticed that he had calmed down he released her from his hug and looked into her eyes
"come on wipe your tears it's enough don't let people see the only heiress of the Smith Empire crying like this, you are a famous actress, it's very bad" Chris said
"I don't care and you are not even funny anymore" Grace said and heaved a sigh
"Now let's go to see your nephew or you don't want to see him anymore?" Chris teased
"of course, I want to" she sniffed back the remaining tears " I admire what you are doing for the little boy and Jane" Grace continued
"it's nothing" Chris said and walked towards the servant quarters with Grace holding his hands
"what are you doing here with your bastard son?" Tessy confronted Jane who was trying to settle in with Chris
"I've told you never to call me names and I won't allow you to call my son a bastard, watch your language Tessy or I will have to report you" Jane said
Becky came forward and pushed Tessy and she almost fell, they just finished cleaning up the kitchen after everyone at the mansion was done eating, and she was coming here to see if the food was ready for them only to find Tessy trying to bully Jane and the boy
"what the hell is wrong with you Tessy can't you just control yourself?" Becky screamed at her
Thelma and the other maids heard the commotion and headed for where the noise was coming from and there was a scene
"How dare you push me like that?" Tessy was furious
"and how dare you try to bully someone in this room" Becky retorted
"bully? I'm only saying the truth she's a slut and that's her son doesn't have a father because she sleeps with different men because she doesn't know the father, that's why she's blackmailing Mr Christopher into adopting her bastard son" She scoffed
"for the last time stop calling my son a bastard," Jane said, she covered Chris's ears with her hands to stop him from hearing the nonsense she was saying
"the young master must think you are the only one capable of working for him, tell me what lies you told in your interview, that's why you are blackmailing him right" Tessy still kept at it,
she had promised herself that she would make life difficult for her till she left the mansion and never came back again and she wouldn't waste any opportunity to do that
"and how is that supposed to be your business, if you have a problem with the job assigned to you, you can just quit" Thelma chipped in
the other maids were starting to gossip amongst themselves, some were talking against Jane and some were pitying her, cause they understand what it means to be in Tessy's bad book, she's a pain in the ass
seeing she was getting the result she wanted her lips curved up
Jane wanted to leave the room with Chris but she was stopped by Tessy
"and where do you think you are going I'm not done talking yet, you think you can escape this place with your bastard son?" Tessy said in a mocking tone
"and how dare you call my son a bastard?" Chris's icy voice broke into the air
Tessy and every other person froze, Jane on the other hand felt relieved, it was as if her saviour had come
Little Chris seeing his new dad ran up to him
"Daddy this mean lady called me and mummy names, she's bullying mummy and me" Chris said pointing his hand towards Tessy
Chris's eyes grew cold, he moved closer to little Chris and picked him up
Tessy frowned, ' little bastard ' she thought she never really thought that young master would come to visit them ' Was it because of them ' she thought again
Seeing that he was here, she was going to use the opportunity to paint Jane badly and then have her kicked out
