Inside the room, Jayden's uncle and aunt were sitting on the left side of the long table. An old man, who seems to be his grandfather, was seated at the end of it.
They stood up when they saw us and greeted us.
"Your highness." His aunt said while his uncle bowed without saying anything.
His grandfather suddenly walked towards but Jayden pulled to his side. Then the royal guards appeared ready to attack the old man.
"I'm just going to greet her highness." He said.
Jayden signaled to the guards and they went back to their position.
"Highness. It's an honor to finally et you." He greeted.
I nodded as we sat down on the table.
"Jayden, I hope you're okay now." His aunt said.
I looked at her and she seed sincere but I really can't see any affection from her towards her nephew.
"I'm fine." Jayden answered simply.
"Father, this is Jayden. Lucia's son." It was his uncle, introducing Jayden.
The old man didn't say a word. He was looking at Jayden's face. Jayden was also looking at the man who said to be his grandfather.
Then suddenly, the old man's tears fell from his eyes. His aunt and uncle bowed their heads
"You look like your mother." He said to Jayden.
Jayden was staring at his grandfather. I'm not sure what he's thinking. Maybe he's checking if they're just acting or not.
"I know I've been on your family. I won't bla you if you despised . But I want you to know, I am happy to see you." He continued while wiping his eyes from tears.
The door suddenly opened and Jayden's father ca.
"Dad." Jayden was surprised.
I saw his uncle gritted his teeth when he saw the man who married her sister.
"What are you doing here?" His uncle asked, almost yelling.
"I asked him Luciano." We turned our eyes to his grandfather.
Dr.Richards didn't sit and just stood up at Jayden's back.
"Father, brother, I'm sorry for what happened to Lucia. It's my fault. I wasn't able to protect her." His voice was apologetic and sad.
"She was precious to us. She was my youngest sister. I knew from the start she never wanted the life we have. She hates violence. She always dread of living simply to another country with her family. It was our selfish decision that lead her to her death. I know it wasn't your fault but I just couldn't accept the fact that she died horribly." It was Luciano, his uncle.
"Instead of blaming father, why didn't you just try looking for the real killers." Jayden finally spoke.
"We tried but if the Rossi's were involved, we won't find them easily. Jayden, I know it's too late but let us apologize to you and your father. We won't us you to forgive us -"
"I forgive you." Jayden suddenly said cutting off his aunt.
I don't know how happy I was hearing those words from him. He finally learned to accept and let go of the past.
"I want to start a new life with dad and Peggy. I won't be able to do that if I will still hold grudges against you." He continued.
His aunt burst out crying. Then he stood up and walked towards Jayden. I'm still holding the device Kyle gave so I'm watching their every movent.
Jayden stood up and accepted her aunt when she opened her arms to hug him. She cried on Jayden's arms. I was also touched and teary eyed from joy. I was really happy for him.
His uncle walked towards his father and reached out his hand. I saw them shaking their hands and smiling at each other. Jayden walked towards his grandfather and hugged him. It was a very touching mont for their family. I was very proud of him.
We moved to the couch so we can chat comfortably. They asked Jayden about his childhood and his happy mories with his mother. They asked how we t and Jayden told them almost everything. I can see that he's happy rekindling his relationship with mom's family.
"Do you have plans on getting married?" His grandfather asked.
I blushed but showed them the ring Jayden gave .
"It was from your grandmother." He said.
They congratualted us and promised that they will be there when we tie the knot. We don't really know when but we told them our plan once we turned 18.
It was almost evening when I felt my vision beca blurry. Maybe I was too tired from everything that happened so far.
I excused myself and went back to our room. I feel dizzy and felt sothing from my stomach. I ran to the bathroom and hurled. I felt lightheaded and woozy.
We've been here for a week now and was stressed out from the mont we arrived here. I haven't eaten anything heavy as well ever since Jayden was unconcious.
I picked up my phone and sent a ssage to our group chat.
: Guys thank you for worrying about us. Jayden and I were okay now. He's still taking ds but he's perfectly fine. He and his father also reconciled with his mom's family. They were talking happily as of this mont.
Alora: That's great news Peggy. So when will you co back?
Nina: Shouldn't you join them? Anyway, we're happy for you and Jayden.
Emily: Sophie said you were caught riding Jayden. You shaless bitch.
I giggled before sending another ssage.
: Maybe we'll stay here for another week and co ho. Graduation is just a few months away so we need to prepare as well. I was with them earlier but I feel sick so I'm in our room now to rest.
Sophie: Are you okay? You've been through a lot for just a week and you didn't get enough rest so maybe you should sleep after dinner. I'll ask the servants to prepare you food and just bring it to your room.
Alora: Are you sure you're not pregnant?
I beca anxious when I read Alora's ssage. It can't be, right?
