"I shall consider your and her relationship to be of a brother and sister, right? After all, you don't have any sisters as well. Mrs. Smith must be craving for a daughter and Olivia is filling her void?

" Jennifer asked with the intruding expression on her face.

She was interested, how will he react and form the relationship which she described? This was done only to test the level of strings that were attached to Olivia. Will he accept that she is his sister, for the sake of his face? Especially for a lady whom he has literally **ed up in the past?

Folding hands into one, Jennifer kept them in front of her chest.

"Tell me now?

" her brows lifted while asking.

On the other hand, Lucas was frozen. His heart was startled when he hadn't expected her to go through this question.

Sister.....? he hasn't even considered anyone in this entire life as a sister!

But at this point, he had no space left except to lie, since this is the lady whom he will have to marry for his own sake. A fake chuckle escaped from his lips when he lowered his head and then looked back at her.

"You aren't entirely wrong...she is...kind of sister only. But not exactly sister, since I never called her that.

"

"Hmm. sure! I won't mind her then.

" Jennifer told him happily, with a right smile that hovered on her lips.

Shrugging her shoulders, Jennifer looked at her wristwatch when she said,

"Let us head inside the mansion, everyone must be waiting for us.

"

As per her sentence, both of them returned back to the main hall where her parents were delighted to see the faint smile that had blossomed on their daughter's lips. It gave them hopes, as both of them had passed each other a significant expression.

Meanwhile, Grandfather Smith was the first one to enquire,

"What have you both decided about the wedding? When will it take place?

"

To this question, Lucas had hoped to take the lead. However, Jennifer was as fast as the light.

She kept her hands over Lucas's other hand that was present on the couch itself when she smiled back at the Elder master Smith. Her eyes curved into the sphere moon when she replied,

"We both have decided to at least give time to each other....Lucas is very cooperative and understanding that I need some time to overcome whatever happens.

"

"Right Lucas?

"

At last, Jennifer averted her gaze at the man who sat beside her, who was also taken aback. With the shock written on his face, he had no other option left when he ended up nodding his head at her words.

"See, Lucas is a very understandable man. We thought of increasing our visits and meetups.

"

"That is great, Jennifer,

" Amelia told when she was overjoyed that Jenifer had willingly come upon terms with Lucas.

Despite their heart craving for both of them to get married as soon as possible, it wasn't the right situation for them to force Jennifer.

Since if they tried to do something major and out of their hands, probably, Jennifer might take the step which they will regret afterward.

Going with the flow was the only situation left for now.

On the other hand, Veronica looked at Amara who was filled with a sour mood. Her ugly expressions have given her similar vibes, to which Veronica smiled at Jennifer,

"Girl, I must say, you are really brave to actually go through everything and still agree to the marriage. Commendable.

"

"T-thank you, Ms. Veronica,

" Jennifer muttered with a slight nod.

"A well-mannered girl like you is totally suited for Lucas! I must say this, right Elder master?

" In return, grandfather gave her words a boost with his small nod.

Once again, Veronica looked at her son who was distant,

"Jack, why don't you find yourself a girl Like Ms. Taylor? We would like to have two daughter inlaws in our family..

"

"You aren't our family! There will be only one daughter-in-law in the house of the Smiths and that will be Lucas's wife, no one else.

" This time, Amara raised her voice, shocking everyone.

Where everyone had expected Veronica to burst out of the fury and madness, she remained in the same composure when Veronica blinked her eyes a few times,

"Amara Amara....when are you gonna accept the reality that Jack is a part of the Smith family?

"

"Nevertheless, it doesn't matter as long as the blood tests prove so. With this, I would like to say, keep your empty thoughts back in your mind because no one is actually interested to hear them. They don't even state the reality and the facts!

" Veronica's sharp answer only turned Amara's expressions grim.

She was ready to snap Veronica's head if that was possible, but Grandfather's mighty appearance was still making her stay tightened up.

But seeing that the environment around was turning negative, Mr. and Mrs. Taylor took the opportunity to ask for them to leave. Taking their leave, the Taylor family along with Hannah left the mansion.

So did Olivia, who felt that her work was done for today.

Neither did Veronica prefer to stay anymore since the dream was offered. Facing the psycho behavior of Amara was the last thing she has hoped today for.

Her aim was to get equal participation in family affairs and that was done for today...

Taking Jack along with her, both son- mother duo left the mansion, leaving behind Amara, Lucas, and grandfather smith, who stayed at their position.

A sigh escaped from Lucas's mouth when he felt that everything went smoothly. With bright and broad shoulders, he looked at his grandfather,

"Are you happy now? D8 you understand that your grandson isn't that useless as you think him to be,

"

"Useless?

" Since everyone left, his grandfather's aura changed drastically.

The same can be said for Amara whose hidden fury was now coming out with her doors opening slightly.

Without even waiting for anything, she held Lucas's wrist and pulled him along with her, towards her room.

In a middle way, Lucas tried numerous times to actually stop but his mother was stubborn on his way. She brought him straight to her room and shut the door behind her, throwing Lucas inside her room with a harsh push.

"Mother! What has happened to you now?!

"

"Me?

" A faint and sarcastic smile curved on her lips when she faced her son with deadly glares,

"What have you done deals with the Johnsons to get Jennifer back, tell me?!

"
