Marina's grandmother raised an eyebrow, a playful smirk tugging at the corner of her mouth. "I see. Well, it's good to know you're taking care of her. Just make sure she gets enough rest and proper als too, not just... entertainnt."
I chuckled, my eyes gleaming with a mix of amusent and understanding as I looked at Grandma. It was clear she knew Marina and I had been intimate, given that we hadn't returned ho all night. "Of course, Grandma. I'll make sure she gets everything she needs. But sotis, she just can't get enough of the fun we have together."
Marina's cheeks flushed a deeper shade of red, but she couldn't help the smile that spread across her face. "Jack, you're making
blush," she said, playfully nudging
with her elbow.
Marina's grandmother laughed softly, her eyes twinkling with amusent. "Well, dear, it's good to see you both so happy and enjoying each other's company. Just rember to take care of yourselves and each other."
I nodded, my expression turning more serious. "We will, Grandma. We appreciate your support and understanding. It ans a lot to us."
Marina's grandmother reached out, patting both of our hands gently. "Of course, my dears. I'm here for you both, always. Now, finish your lunch. You'll need your strength for whatever adventures lie ahead."
We finished our lunch, and Marina looked at her grandmother, her eyes filled with a mix of hope and concern. "Grandma, we were thinking... maybe you could co with us? Live with us? That way, we can take care of you, and you won't be alone."
Her grandmother smiled softly, but there was a hint of sadness in her eyes. "Oh, Marina, that's a sweet thought, but I couldn't impose on you young folks like that. What would an old lady like
do, cramping your style?"
Marina's face fell, her voice filled with worry. "But, Grandma, we want you with us. We can take care of you, and you can help us too. Please, think about it."
I chid in, hoping to add my support. "Marina's right, Grandma. We would love to have you with us. And if you're worried about being a burden, don't be. We can make it work."
Her grandmother looked at us both, her expression filled with gratitude but also resolve. "I appreciate your offer, truly I do. But this is my ho, and I'm happy here. I have my store to take care of, and my friends are here. I don't want to leave that behind."
Marina's eyes filled with tears, her voice trembling slightly. "But, Grandma, what if you get sick again? Who will take care of you?"
Her grandmother cupped Marina's cheek gently, her voice filled with reassurance. "Oh, sweetheart, don't you worry about . I'll be just fine. And if I do need help, I have plenty of friends who can check in on . Plus, you two can always co visit, can't you?"
I nodded, wrapping an arm around Marina's shoulders. "Of course, we can. And we will, as often as we can. And if you ever change your mind, the offer still stands. Our ho is your ho."
Marina's grandmother smiled at us both, her eyes filled with love and gratitude. "Thank you, both of you. That ans the world to . But for now, I think it's best if I stay here. And don't you worry, I'll take good care of the store, and myself."
Marina sighed softly, accepting her grandmother's decision. "Okay, Grandma. But promise
you'll take care of yourself. And call us if you need anything, anything at all."
Her grandmother promised, and we finished our goodbyes, Marina still looking worried and sad. As we walked into her room, I could see the concern etched on her face. I followed her and wrapped my arms around her from behind, pulling her close.
"Are you worried about your grandma?" I asked softly, my breath warm against her ear.
Marina nodded, her voice filled with concern. "Yeah, I am. What if she gets sick again? What if she needs help and there's no one there to take care of her?"
I turned her around to face , cupping her cheeks gently in my hands. I pressed a soft kiss to her lips, wanting to reassure her, to take away her worries. "Don't worry, Marina. I promise, we'll make sure she's taken care of."
I pulled back slightly, looking into her eyes. "I'll hire soone to check in on her daily, to help her with whatever she needs. That way, she won't be alone, and we can have peace of mind knowing she's being taken care of. And we can co visit her whenever you want. How does that sound?"
Marina looked at , her eyes filled with gratitude and love. "That sounds perfect, Jack. Thank you so much. You always know just what to say, just what to do."
I smiled at her, my thumb gently caressing her cheek. "That's because I love you, Marina. And I want to make sure you're happy, that you have nothing to worry about. Your grandma will be just fine, I promise."
Marina smiled back at , her eyes shining with unshed tears. "I love you too, Jack. And thank you, for everything."
I pulled her into a tight hug, holding her close, letting her know that I was there for her, always. We stood like that for a mont, just soaking in each other's comfort and love. Finally, I pulled back slightly, pressing one more soft kiss to her lips.
"Now, how about we start packing your things? The sooner we get you moved in with , the sooner we can start our new life together."
Marina's face lit up at that, her eyes shining with excitent and happiness. "That sounds perfect," she said, her voice filled with renewed energy and enthusiasm.
Together, we began to pack her things, our hearts filled with love and excitent for the future that lay ahead of us. As we gathered her belongings, I rembered that Marina's property papers were still with Tony. I turned to Marina, who was carefully folding her clothes.
"Marina, I need to make a quick call. I'll be right back," I said, pressing a gentle kiss to her forehead before stepping out of the room.
I dialed Isabella's number, and she answered on the second ring. "Jack, what can I do for you?"
