Alena didn't ask much but she simply sat near the dining table and let Jack come so that they have a good time by themselves. After exactly five minutes, she saw him coming on a through stairs and passed her a warm smile.
He was now wearing home clothes with a pajama and a t-shirt on top. The two buttons of his t-shirt were opened, revealing his neck and for some reason, Alena imaged herself eating his flesh through there.
'Oh C'mon Alena, he is your husband now! You have that right.. but stop dreaming about such things at the dining table!' She scolded herself in her mind but when she was in a daze, Jack looked at her worriedly.
"Are you alright? You look..like you are thinking about something else." he noticed that she was physically present but her mind was somewhere else.
But she smiled back and shook her head. "Nothing. I was just thinking about something else. Leave it."
"I hope that everything is to your liking. Already asked aunt to prepare what you like.'' Jack answered when he saw that the dishes he asked were out there on the table.
But Alena was quite surprised. She earlier did notice that everything she lies, was now on the table even when she never told anyone about it. Not even Anna.
"How did you know what I like and what I don't? Don't be just lost because you think you know me," she warned him once with her glared, and obviously, he understood what she meant by her words.
He smiled at her comment but inwardly thought about the same, 'I know you because I have a track record about what you like or not.' but he never brought it up and started eating the food.
As expected, Alena's eyes lit up when she first took the bite and then turned to aunt, "Your cooking is really good! I'm so much impressed! From now on, you will give me lessons about cooking. if that is alright with you?" Despite being madam of this household she kept it soft and warm.
The maid was flushed when she heard the Young Madam complimenting her cooking skills. It was her luck because she hasn't expected a young lady to come and praise her at all.
'I had thought that she was arrogant but now I Can see that she is totally warm inside and out. Maybe she can mend the broken strings of father and son relationsh.i.p.s.' Aunt prayed for this to happen as soon as possible.
They both finished their dinner as soon as possible and then, Jack called her out to bring her to the terrace where a set of drinks were made. She knew that he needed relaxation to tell her things.
For him, it was difficult to remember everything that he has gone through. So, for this, he chose the night under the stars so that he can make himself comfortable and tell her vetting from deep down in his heart.
"You can tell me," Alena said who was now sitting on the couch, while Jack was standing near the bar and made a drink for himself.
"I don't know where to start. Why don't you ask me something based on the family background so that I can start with it?" He has so many secrets hidden but he never said anything to anyone, except Alex, who got to know things on his own.
Alena nodded her head and replied to him back, "Tell me about your birth if you know." Alena started from the very basic. She doesn't want to go directly to the main topic instead of taking small steps.
A smile came on his face. Maybe remind when he was told not to repeat, "I was born in the mansion My father and mother weren't married at that time because no one approves of mother to be the daughter-in-law of their family. They all thought that she is just a waste and won't bring much money along with her."
"But, I was always labeled as the illegitimate child of the family and obviously I was teased by it. My parents fell in love with each other when they were in college. She got pregnant with me, and this mansion was specially designed for her by my father, going against his own father, for my mother."
Alena noticed that he was a smile but from inside, he was hurt for some reason. He might have gone t.h.i.g.h a lot, after all, he is already thirty-one, but she can' identity if this laugh is due to the pain or a real laugh.
Because he has covered his expressions quite well. She was his wife but he won't show his expression to her so easily, he has been wearing hi smacks for so long now. The mark of not worrying about anything in this world.
"I was very young at that time but one day, I remembered, my mother cried a lot. It was raining that day and she cried so much that her eyes were red. I still remember that I felt my heartache for her the very first time when I saw her like this."
"But I never knew what happened. She simply packed our bags and everything we had, like clothes and jewelry, and everything and we left without telling anyone else. I wasn't able to meet my father but who knew what happened between her and mother."
"She brought me to another state, where the empire of Steve was related. It was good we started working as a middle-class family and my mother was well educated. She worked in a company and healed me as well."
"But one day...the most horrific things and in our life..
