764 Andy?
Although Aaron Jonas was a very wealthy man, he was never one to show off his wealth. But for the purpose of his newfound family who were coming ho with him, he pulled out all stops to make sure they were comfortable.
Harry was surprised to see a stretch limousine waiting for them when they arrived at the airport, and he turned to his father with a raised brow.
Harry had wanted to arrange for cars to pick them up from the airport but Aaron had asked him not to bother since he had it under control.
Aaron rely grinned without saying a word as he ushered Candace and Jamal into the car where the chauffeur was standing and holding out the door.
"A limo? What a princess-like welco," Jade told Harry in a whisper.
"She is a princess. Just don't tell her I said so," Harry said and Jade giggled as they both got into the car since the others had gone in already.
"Is this your car?" Jamal asked excitedly as he looked around the car in awe, since he had never been in a limo.
"No, it's not, Jamal. I don't have any need for such a car. I've been living alone for a long ti and I don't even like to drive. I arranged for this because I didn't want us to go ho in different cars, and this could accommodate us all," Aaron explained patiently.
"You don't have any cars?" Jamal asked with a curious frown.
"I do have two cars," Aaron said simply.
Jamal continued to ask questions and chatter endlessly as they drove to the house.
Candace, who had been quiet the whole ti as she thought about this new world she was throwing herself into, and how ready she was for it, sat up and looked though the tinted window when she heard Aaron say they were close to the house now.
Although she knew that Aaron was wealthy since he was the owner of the popular HAJ studios, but she hadn't really expected that he would be living in such an opulent neighborhood.
She never imagined she would ever live in such a neighborhood oozing of wealth where manicured lawns t the gaze of stately mansions.
Her gaze was drawn to the towering oak trees which lined the streets, with their branches creating a canopy of shade that whispered tales of affluence.
As they approached Aaron's residence, a sprawling estate bathed in the warm hues of the setting sun, Candace marveled at the beauty of the house which was now to beco her ho.
The house was an architectural masterpiece that combined classic charm with modern luxury. The lush green gardens surrounding the property exuded tranquility, and their vibrant blooms and rioting colors were a welco sight to behold.
"Wow!" Jamal exclaid with excitent as he bounced in his seat while looking out the window. He couldn't wait for the car to stop so he could get down and look around his new ho.
"You grew up here?" Jade asked Harry as they got out of the car, and he nodded.
"Yeah. My dad bought this property when I was about Jamal's age," Harry said, since he could rember that he had been just as excited as Jamal was at the mont, when they moved there for the first ti.
"If your dad was this wealthy, why did you bother working for Tom?" Jade asked in confusion.
"Because I'm not my dad, and I'm not interested in photography," Harry said like it was the most obvious thing in the world and she scowled at him.
Matt watched Candace as she took in the view of the house, "It's beautiful," she whispered.
"Yes, it is," he said without taking his eyes off her.
"You're welco ho," Aaron said to Candace as he held out a hand to her and when she took it, he led her inside the house while Jamal held on to her hand.
Upon walking through the door, Jamal let go for Candace's hand and ran ahead of them to look around the place.
Jamal marveled at the soaring ceiling which was adorned with crystal chandeliers that sparkled like constellations.
In the heart of the house, a sweeping staircase led to the upper levels, its hand-carved railings guiding the eye upward.
"Am I really going to be living here?" Jamal asked in awe, and Aaron gave him a nod.
"Do you like it?"
"I love it," Jamal said happily, and they all smiled as they watched him climb the staircase.
"You have a wonderful ho," Jade said with a smile, and Matt nodded.
"I totally agree with Jade," Matt said, and Aaron smiled.
"Why don't I show you around?" Aaron offered, and Matt and Candace followed him, while Jade chose to remain with Harry.
"Are you not going with them?" Harry asked and Jade raised a brow.
"You said you were going to show around your house, not your dad," she reminded him.
"Alright, co with then," Harry said as he took her hand and led her to his bedroom so they could start with that.
"Are there no dostic staff?" Jade asked curiously.
"He has people who co in a couple of tis during the week to clean the place and do laundry. He prefers to cook his own als and he tends his garden himself," Harry said and Jade smiled.
"Despite his wealth, he is a very simple man," Jade said with admiration.
"Yeah. That's where I got my simplicity from," Harry said and Jade paused and raised a brow.
"Who ever told you, you were simple? Don't kid yourself, Jonas, you're the most complicated man I've ever t," Jade said and Harry smiled.
"I would have argued, but since you say I'm different from all the n you've ever t and you love so much that way, I think I will let it be," Harry said and Jade shook her head.
"That wasn't what I said. I said…."
"That was what I heard, and it's good enough for . I don't need any further explanation," Harry said and Jade giggled.
"So, you would rather hear what you want and not what I'm saying?" She asked with a raised a brow.
"Let ask you, am I the sa with the n you've t before?" Harry asked and she shook her head.
"No. Not exact…."
"Do you love very much?" He asked and she grinned when she realized what he was doing.
"You know, I do. But…."
"You've answered my question. That's all I need. Thanks," Harry said as he brushed his lips against hers and pulled her forward so they could continue walking, while Jade giggled as she followed him.
As they walked into Harry's room, Jade couldn't help but marvel at how masculine and organized Harry's room looked, more like his bedroom back in Ludus.
The stark difference between their tastes and personality was very evident when their houses and bedrooms were compared.
"When was the last ti you visited this place?" Jade asked, and Harry chuckled since he could guess what Jade was thinking.
"If you are asking because you want to know if I had my room redecorated from the way it was when I was a kid, then I will tell you for free that the last ti it was redecorated to this, was when I was in high school. I've always been this mature," Harry said, and Jade scowled at him.
"Are you indirectly calling immature?" Jade asked, and Harry chuckled.
"Why will I call you that? I didn't even ntion your na...."
"You didn't have to ntion it. I know you were thinking it," Jade said and Harry shook his head.
"No, I wasn't. I think you're being so defensive because you are embarrassed about your room...."
"See what I an? Who said I am embarrassed?" Jade asked and Harry resisted the urge to laugh.
"You did ask if we should move to the guestroom if I wasn't comfortable with your bedroom. And you tore out those pictures from the wall because you were embarrassed," Harry pointed out reasonably.
"This is why I don't like you," Jade said irritably.
"You don't like ? Why?" Harry asked sweetly.
"Because you are so annoying. This whole argunt could have ended earlier had you simply said sothing nice and sweet," Jade said and Harry nodded.
"I see. Well, the good news is that I'm okay with you not liking as long as you love ," Harry said and when Jade opened her mouth to argue so more he raised a brow.
"Do you want to fight or should we continue with the tour?" he asked and she pouted.
"Lead the way," she said grudgingly.
Harry smirked as he walked ahead of her, and he chuckled when she walked quickly to catch up with him and hooked her arm with his so they could walk side by side.
"You are so so mature, esquire" he joked.
"Shut up, Jonas!" Jade hissed.
Two hours later, after they had all settled down and were about to go have dinner which they ordered, the doorbell rang, and Harry turned to Aaron.
"Are you expecting soone?" he asked, and Aaron shook his head.
"I'm not expecting anyone. Why don't you go see who is at the door?" Aaron asked Candace and she frowned.
"? But I'm new here. How would I know if the visitor is a welcod guest?" Candace asked, and Aaron shrugged.
"Whoever the visitor is, send them away if you don't want them to join us. This is your house now, so you are free to make such decisions. Go," Aaron said and Candace roller he eyes as she stood up to go get the door.
Candace opened the door, ready to tell whoever was there that Aaron was busy and couldn't see them, but her jaw dropped and her eyes widened in surprise when she saw Andy starting there with a similar expression on her face.
Andy, who had been wondering why Cassidy had asked them to bring her to this address, was more than shocked to see Candace standing there.
At first she had thought it was the wrong address when they dropped her there, and she had been reluctant to press the doorbell, but seeing Candace there made her realize this was Cassidy's surprise for her.
Why didn't Cassidy tell her or give her a hint of what he had done? Although he had been the one who had taken her away from her family in the first place, she was thankful and happy that he sent her back and not to so other prison with the excuse of keeping her safe.

"Andy?"
"Candy?" they called simultaneously as they embraced each other fiercely.
Why didn't Cassidy tell her or give her a hint of what he had done? Although he had been the one who had taken her away from her family in the first place, she was thankful and happy that he sent her back and not to so other prison with the excuse of keeping her safe.
Seeing the surprise on Candace's face, Andy could tell that Candace had not known that she was coming. So how did Cassidy plan this and pull it off so successfully? Didn't he say they were in Heden? Why was Candace in Sogal?
Different thoughts ran through Andy's head as she hugged Candace, and then she pulled back to look at Candace again, and this ti she touched Candace's face to be sure she wasn't dreaming, since this wouldn't be the first ti and had dreamt of reuniting with her sister.
Candace couldn't contain her joy as she looked Andy over in the sa manner that Andy was looking her over.
Just the previous night, she had thought her life was going smoothly, and all that was left was for Andy to show, and here was Andy, standing right in front of her. What more could she ask for?
"Where is Jamal? What are you doing here? I thought you were in Heden?" Andy asked and before Candace could respond, the others ca out, and Jamal shrieked happily and jumped on Andy the mont he sighted her.
"Andy? How co she is here?" Matt asked in surprise while Jade narrowed her eyes and turned to Harry.
"You knew about this, didn't you?" Jade asked suspiciously.
"Why don't we focus on welcoming my second sister?" Harry asked with a pleasant smile.
