"Mmmm... This is so tasty.

" Valentina said making Margaret chuckle.

n

"Yes, it's so tasty.

" Elijah replied as they all started having their dinner.

n

"Yeah...

" Valentina said as she nodded her head at Elijah.

n

"So... What are the plans?

" Elijah asked and Valentina shrugged.

n

"I don't know...

" Valentina answered making Margaret smile.

nJason raised his eyebrows at Margaret as she smiles.

n

"But I think, something is going on mom's head,

" Jason said making Elijah turn towards her.

n

"True... Something sure is going on in her head.

" Elijah replied making Margaret chuckle.

n

"Nothing... Have your dinner first.

" Margaret said making them raise their eyebrows.

n

"Alright... Well, Valentina... I shouldn't ask this but... Heard Xavier got married?

" Elijah asked making her take a deep breath.

n

"Yes, Uncle Elijah.

" Valentina answered.

n

"But... He loves you right?

" Elijah asked.

n

"Dad...

" Jason said making Valentina look at him!

n

"No... He has every right to know about us, Jason.

" Valentina replied making Jason sigh.

n

"But, Val... Not now...

" Valentina cut off Jason in mid-sentence as she shook her head.

n

"It's fine... I am okay to talk to him about this anytime.

" Valentina said making Jason sigh.

n

"Fine... It's your wish then... I am no one to say you do not talk about it.

" Jason replied as he took a deep breath.

n

"Jason... Why are you irritated about it when Val isn't? We want to know what's going on him her life too? She is like a daughter to us too.

" Elijah said and Jason nodded his head.

n

"Dad... I know that. I know you both want to know what is going on in her little and how is she handling all these things suddenly on her own. I know she is like a daughter to you and wants only best for her but nothing else... I understand everything but she just got here after all their chaos happens in her life... Have some mercy on her. She needs to let the things go for a few days. She needs to breathe and takes a fresh air. This is important for her. Her health is not good too and in this situation, if you are asking about this then I don't know what to tell you about this.

" Jason replied making Valentina roll her eyes.

n

"Jason, I am not understanding why are you thinking about all these things? You know that I will not cry over on these things because I know, Xavier will be mine sooner or later... That is for sure. It just a matter of time. I don't know why he married Rose but I am sure that he still loves me and don't want to let go of me... He is scared of something... But, I will find it out and will make things right... I will make Xavier mine. And Aunt Margaret and Uncle Elijah are so close to me and I want to share everything with them and they have that right to know about me. And I am not going to let go of anything even though wherever I go... And I am perfectly alright... My health is totally fine.

" Valentina said making everyone look at her. Valentina chuckled as she saw everyone's mouth open.

n

"Hello... What happened?

" Valentina asked making them shook their heads.

n

"So... You are not getting Xavier go?

" Elijah asked and Valentina shook her head in no.

n

"No. I am not letting him go, Uncle Elijah.

" Valentina answered.

n

"No matter what?

" Elijah asked and Valentina raised her eyebrows at him.

n

"Yes, no matter what I am not letting him go!

" Valentina answered making Margaret look at Elijah.

n

"Even though you get to know the deep truth behind the marriage... Which might hurt you later?

" Elijah asked making Valentina and Jason frown.

n

"Elijah...

" Margaret called but he just kept starting into Valentina's eyes.

n

"What do you mean, Uncle Elijah?

" Valentina asked and Elijah shook his head.

n

"I am just asking you, Valentina... What if there is something deep truth behind the marriage which might hurt you in the future? Will you still hold on to him?

" Elijah asked.

n

"Elijah, stop... Don't scare her with your stupid questions.

" Margaret said making Elijah looked at her seriously.

n

"I am just stating a fact, Love. She needs to know about how cruel this world is... She will know it soon though but I am just giving her heads up.

" Elijah replied.

n

"Dad... Can you please let go of this?

" Jason asked making Elijah chuckle.

n

"First, let her answer this question, Jason...

" Elijah answered and looked at Valentina who looks so deeply in her thoughts.

n

"But, Dad...

" Elijah cut off Jason in mid-sentence.

n

"Jason... I hope you keep your mouth shut in this. Let Valentina answer the question. You don't have any right to interfere in this.

" Elijah said sternly making Jason sigh.

n

"Val... Answer the question, please. I just want to know about your thoughts.

" Elijah said and Valentina looked up at him.

n

"I will not, Uncle Elijah.

" Valentina answered with confidence and without any hesitation.

nElijah nodded his head and looked at Valentina.

n

"Why?

" Elijah asked.

n

"I believe that Xavier will not do something which might hurt me.

" Valentina answered.

n

"What if you are wrong?

" Elijah asked.

n

"Elijah, I said stop now. Don't you dare cross your line now.

" Margaret said making Elijah sigh.

n

"It's fine, Aunt Margaret...

" Valentine said and turned her head towards Elijah.

n

"It will not, uncle Elijah... Yes, at one thing... Xavier hurts me... That is marrying another woman and giving her the place which I deserve. At that thing, he broke his words which he promises me but that thing never happened...

" Valentina said and Margaret sighed.

n

"I was hurt for sure but later... He came to me and said that he loves me... I thought to make his life a living hell but... When he said, he still loves me and things changed and made him Marry Rose... I thought, is our love not strong enough? I questioned myself but I didn't get any answer... Maybe... I want to be selfish to get his life in any way no matter what... Well... Might be! Because he was the only person who understands me in my whole life.

" Valentina said with a. Smile playing on her lips making Jason eyes teary.

n

"He is the most precious person in my life... He is the best thing which ever happened to me in my whole life even when I used to be a bitch... He still loved me as I am! He doesn't care if I am a bitch, a slut or a whore or whatever... He loves me as I am.

" Valentina said.

n

"Maybe... That's why I don't want to stop loving him right now... I can't leave him when he needs me the most.

" Valentina said making Elijah sigh.

n

"You are really so beautiful, Valentina.

" Elijah said making Valentina chuckle.

n

"I am not, Uncle Elijah... Believe me, I am not.

" Valentina replied making Elijah shook his head at her.

n

"Don't forget that this Uncle Elijah will be there for you no matter what.

" Elijah said and Valentina nodded her head with a smile.

n

"I will not, Uncle Elijah.

" Valentina replied with a smile.

nThey all had their dinner and walked towards the living room where Valentina saw a few old photo albums on the table.

n

"Oh my goodness... Who's this?

" Valentina asked.

n

"Jason's...

" Margaret answered making Jason wide his eyes.

n

"What? Mine?

" Jason asked and Margaret nodded her head.

n

"Yes, yours...

" Elijah answered.

n

"Why, mine?

" Jason asked.

n

"We want to show Valentina the little Jason.

" Margaret answered.

n

"What, no!

" Jason replied as he tried to take that album away but Valentina's one look made him stop.

n

"Fine...

" Jason said making Margaret and Elijah laugh out loud and Valentina sat down on the couch and others settled beside her on the couch.

n

"Oh my... Is this cute little baby is Jason?

" Valentina asked.

n

"Yes... Yes... I always wanted a girl child but I only had Jason... So, I tried that cute little dress on Jason... He becomes a cute little girl.

" Margaret answered making Valentina and Elijah laugh out loud making Jason groan.

n

"Are you serious, Mom? Only you do like this.

" Jason replied as he rolled his eyes making them all laugh out loud.

n

"Well... I can't help it... You looked like a cute little girl.

" Margaret said making Jason again roll his eyes.

n

"Yes, you look so cute.

" Valentina said as she laughed out loud.

n

"Seriously, Val... Give me all this now!

" Jason replied as he took away all those albums away from her.

n

"Hey, you... Give them back to me... Let me see them.

" Valentina said and Jason shook his head in no and walked away from her but Valentina ran towards him and seeing her, Jason ran upstairs.

n

"I am not giving them to you...

" Jason replied as he ran inside his bedroom and Valentina followed him.

n

"No... Give me, please... You are really so cute.

" Valentina said and Jason shook his head in no.

n

"No... I am not giving you.

" Jason replied as he kept them behind his back.
