Day Eighty-Four…
~~*****~~
[ At Golden Restaurant… ]
Vincent mobilized his n to surround the said restaurant as they t Mr. Hiroshi. He couldn't afford to lose Jane. He was cautious with Mr. Hiroshi. He wasn't certain if the old man would try to rescue Jane and separate him from the mother and daughter.
Vincent's n were also in disguise as normal custors in order not to attract attention. It did not take long before Vincent and Jane entered the restaurant together with Mia.
The waiter welcod them. "Good afternoon, Ma'am and Sir. Do you have a reservation?"
"Yes, reservation for Jane Hiroshi," Vincent replied.
"Please co in. I'll guide you to your table."
The waiter led the three to the second floor where Mr. Hiroshi was already waiting for them.
"Grandpa!" Mia excitedly called him upon seeing Mr. Hiroshi. She waved her hand as she was being carried by Vincent. "Oh, my granddaughter. Are you feeling well now?" Mr. Hiroshi softly asked Mia. He was worried because Mia had just recovered from the car accident.
"I'm fine now, Grandpa. Having difficulty walking alone but I'm going to recover soon." Mia responded.
Vincent put her down and made her sit next to Mr. Hiroshi. "How about you, Jane? Is everything fine?" Mr. Hiroshi asked, casting a sharp glare at Vincent. "Yes, Pa. Everything is fine." She reassured him.
Mr. Hiroshi couldn't hide his displeasure after hearing what Vincent did. This crazy jerk used the kids to threaten his daughter, Jane. If not for Jane's request, he wouldn't allow her to marry Vincent.
anwhile, Vincent just stayed calm as if he hadn't done sothing wrong. He pulled a chair for Jane before he sat down.
"Pa, Vincent, and I will et Aunt and Grandpa later at Yan Family Mansion. We will share the news with them about our upcoming wedding. Will you co with us?" Jane was straightforward. She didn't waste her ti as she ntioned their main topic today.
"Sure. I can join you." Mr. Hiroshi agreed. Deep inside, he was still worried about Jane. He wanted to ask her about Nathan but he couldn't bring it up in front of Vincent.
Jane did all the talking. She discussed the details of her wedding– date, venue, and the people whom she wanted to invite. She never ntioned Nathan once.
Mr. Hiroshi didn't question her decision further as he could see the determination in her eyes. His daughter had finally made her decision and nothing could change her mind.
For so unknown reason, Mr. Hiroshi was disheartened. He felt sorry for Nathan and Ethan. The young boy even contacted him, asking for his help. "Jane, I'll support you no matter what your decision is." Mr. Hiroshi declared. Then he looked at Vincent.
"Make sure to protect my daughter. Don't you dare hurt her again. Understand?"
"Rest assured Mr. Hiroshi, I will take good care of Jane and Mia. We will live happily as a complete family." Mr. Hiroshi just nodded. In the end, he just focused his attention on Mia, putting food on her plate as the four of them started eating.
Vincent was satisfied since he received an update from his n that Mr. Hiroshi didn't bring any guards or mbers from the Sawada Clan.
In the middle of their lunch, Jane excused herself as she headed to the restroom. Unknown to her, soone followed her inside.
"Mommy Jane…"
Jane's body stiffened when she recognized that voice. She turned around only to see Ethan at the entrance door of the restroom.
"Ethan?" There was a hint of longing in Jane's eyes as she called his na. She couldn't believe it. Ethan was there.
Before she could take a move, Ethan ran in her direction, hugging her waist.
"Mommy Jane! I missed you. I am so worried about you. Did they hurt you?" Ethan asked her with eyes burned with tears. He was trying to hold back his tears.
Jane's heart ached after seeing the sad look in his eyes. "Oh, Ethan." She crouched down, hugging him back tightly.
"I'm fine. No one can hurt . I missed you too."
"Mommy! Please don't marry Uncle Vincent. It should be Dad. You are going to die if you marry the wrong guy." Ethan didn't hesitate to tell her what he wanted.
"Please, Mommy. Don't do this. I promise. I'm going to be strong. I will not allow anyone to use again just to threaten you. So please, don't marry Uncle Vincent. Don't leave my Daddy." The young boy pleaded. "Don't you love my Dad anymore?" Ethan asked her with his innocent eyes.
Jane smiled at Ethan, caressing his cheeks. "Of course, I love your Dad. He is the man I truly love."
"Then why are you marrying Uncle Vincent? Is it because of Mia?" Ethan questioned her.
Jane shook her head. "No. It's not what you think, Baby. Do you trust , Baby?" Jane asked him expectantly.
Ethan bobbed his head. "Yes. Mommy. I trust you."
"If you do, then you don't have to worry about it. Can you keep a secret?" Jane stroked his hair. Ethan's eyes lit up as he nodded. "Yes, Mommy. I can always keep your secrets."
Jane let out a soft giggle. "Okay. Promise . You have to keep this from your father too."
"I promise." Ethan promptly responded.
"I'm doing this for show. I'm not going to marry Vincent. I'm just using him as bait to lure the main villain. There is soone I must catch, Ethan. A dangerous person." Jane shared her plan with Ethan.
Ethan smiled upon hearing that. "I knew it! You have a plan. Dad doesn't believe ." Ethan sounded disappointed.
Jane couldn't help but giggle. "It's alright. We need to keep this from your Dad so that everything will look more convincing."
"Always rember this, Ethan. Your father is the only man I love. And I will do everything to marry him. We will be a family. You, Mia, Nathan and . The four of us. I have to do this to protect you… and everyone precious to ."
Ethan nodded. "I understand, Mom."
"By the way, why are you here? Who brings you here?" "Gramps. I ca here with him. But I hide myself and wait for the chance to talk to you alone."
Jane glanced at Ethan with an amused look in her eyes. 'He is a smart boy.'
"I'm glad you are here. Let hug you, my baby. Just be patient okay? I will return to you and your Dad soon."
"Yes. Mommy. I will wait for you." Ethan's sadness completely disappeared. He trusts Jane's words. He knew that Jane would return to them.
He also felt relieved because Jane wouldn't marry Vincent. It was just for show.
"Mommy. If you need help, don't hesitate to call . Okay? I will assist you." Ethan volunteered.
Jane pinched his cute nose. "My baby is so dependable. You make proud, Ethan. For now, what I want you to do is to stay close to your Daddy. Cheer him up for . Okay?"
Ethan bobbed his head frantically. "Leave that to , Mommy. I'll take care of my Dad."
"I'm so glad. Thank you, Ethan."
