He Stole My Heart ✅

28 - Jason was fascinated by me

Everyone is behaving like nothing ever happened. Kristina is busy chatting with grandma and Peter went on a walk with grandpa. Aunt Seema is busy preparing some delicious snacks for us while Uncle Raj went to take a business call.

I couldn't keep calm and finally gathered my courage to go ask someone if I have to give my statement to the police. I want to mentally prepare myself. Peter came back with grandpa from the walk. Peter sat on one of the vintage white chairs around the steel table with grandpa on the small lawn. Uncle Raj went to the lawn. Aunt Seema came with snacks from the kitchen. I offered to take the tray to the men outside.

I saw Grandpa getting off the chair and offering the chair to Uncle Raj.

"Raj sit here and give company to Peter. I am a little tired from the walk. I would like to go inside and take some rest."

"Grandpa, don't you want to have some snacks?" I asked seeing him leave.

"No later dear." Giving me a pat on my cheek he went inside the house with the help of his walking stick.

I was thinking about how to ask Peter or Uncle Raj with grandpa around. Now that he left I can ask freely without getting worried that Grandpa might hear.

Placing the tray with plates of snacks and tea on the table I was contemplating how to ask them.

"Mr.Brown, Can you extend your stay for one more week or at least a few days." Uncle Raj asked sipping his tea.

"I want to but the winter break is about to finish. And I have acquired a big project in New York. There is so much to do. But don't worry Amelia will visit you in a few months during her Summer break."

"I would love it if you and your family members could also visit us with Amelia." My uncle's eyes warm meaning what he said.

"Ryan will for sure. Maybe Kristina too. She already loves you guys. I can't say for myself and Jason."

I kept standing there and fidgeting with my charm bracelet listening to them talk.

"Do you need anything Amy?" Peter asked raising his eyebrows at me.

"Uh nothing"

"Come on I know something is bothering you. Tell me now."

"Just curious about what is going to happen. You know the thing we spoke about last night." I said looking down at the grass. I don't know why but I couldn't bring myself to look at their faces.

"I told you that I will handle it. Everything is taken care of. There is no need for you to worry."

"But how?" I looked at Peter in a jiffy. Couldn't help the curiosity is killing me.

"I have contacts. Just needed to make some calls and pull some strings. What use is all this power and money if I can't help my Family? And you know you are my Family."

"Thank you for taking care of it. I really mean it." Uncle Raj spoke first. A warm smile filled with gratitude adorned his face while looking at Peter.

My heart leaped with happiness seeing them talk freely with one another.

"I can't understand you two! How come one day you both are growling at each other and then drinking tea and chatting the other day?" I asked amused.

"Hahaha I can't tell for Mr.Brown but for me, I know for sure that even if our ideologies clash, I know at the end of the day that he too wants you to be safe and happy just like me."

Everyone fell silent for a second. I was so happy that Peter and Uncle Raj are on the same side. I don't want them to collide because of me. They both mean a lot to me.
