Chapter 273 - I am 'Grey'

"Sir, we need to talk with you" Jean asked Elder Summers and Scott nodded his head.

"Grandfather, can we talk in private" he added as others looked at them confusingly.

Elder Summers nodded his head and walked to his study room. Jean looked at Scott worriedly and he wrapped his arms around her shoulders protectively and whispered something as they followed him.

She is still calling Elder Summers as 'sir'. Does that mean there is some uncertainty in their relationship. What are they talking inside….almost every person is in same train of thoughts.

Meanwhile in the study room…

Elder Summers sat down on his chair while Jean and Scott occupied the couch. Scott entangled his fingers with hers while he held her very close to him.

Though Elder Summers is totally aware of what they will be talking, he maintained his poker face and looked at them confusingly.

Scott took a long breathe and said,

"Grandfather, not too long back I found out the rift between Grey's and Summer's. I don't know what was the real reason for it nor how deep this hatred had gone into but I don't want to keep any secrets about my love life"

"Sir, when we met for the first time I was too scared to reveal my surname. I know that what I had done is wrong but I couldn't bear to get separated from Scott." Jean could barely talk because she is too nervous..

"Grandfather, though we cheated you by not saying anything about Jean's family or her relationship with me. We just hoped that you would give her a chance to prove herself before you judge her by her family" Scott said and looked at his grandfather whose face is like a wooden block with no any expressions nor emotions.

But, god only knows how much fun he is having by listening to their desperate reasonings.

"Sir, I know that you will be angry on me for keeping you in dark. But I hope, you will still accept me even after knowing that my name is Jean Grey. I am daughter of your mortal enemy Jonathan Grey" Jean gulped her saliva and didn't dare to look up. She lowered her head and gazed at the floor.

"We love each other Grandfather. We don't really care about our family backgrounds and other stuff. But after finding out the rift, I knew that we have to face this type of situation. But I am not ready to let a third person reveal this truth. Whether you will agree or not, it is my responsibility to tell you everything about the girl I will marry" Scott rubbed Jean's shoulder and comforted her.

"Jean will be the only woman in my life and my heart. Though you agree or not I will only marry her, don't think that I am blackmailing you. I am just being stubborn and honest about my feelings. Please just don't let your old rift cloud your judgement, you yourself have seen how Jean is" Scott pleaded.

Elder Summers could see how genuine Jean and Scott are….they looked so serious as if their whole life will depend on his decision. He felt an urge to laugh loudly.

It is really so funny to see them like this…

Honestly, he is very impressed with Jean manners. She is still calling him 'sir' because his decision was taken before he found out the truth. Is she thinking that he might change his decision?..

Did she think he is that stubborn…pfft…he is surely a arrogant and extremely stubborn person. But frankly speaking who would not get impressed by a wonderful girl like Jean.

"Sir, I apologize for what I did. But please don't think that I pretended in front of you, it is true that I didn't play a fair game but my intentions are pure" Jean spoke sincerely.

Elder Summers couldn't take it anymore. He is very content with their respect and straight nature. Actually he felt very lucky to find a woman like Jean as a next mistress of household. Rest assured that Summers family will be in good hands.

"Jean, I already knew your surname. And I want to apologize for misunderstanding your father's character. He was good man with pure intentions just like you, I didn't get a chance to know my mistakes back then. But now I want to set things right. I will be always there for you if you want any help in suppressing your uncle" Elder Summers apologized.

"As for your marriage. Believe me, no one would be as excited as me to see you both together. But promise me that I will be soon carrying my little great grandchildren" he winked and laughed.

Jean looked at him with gratitude and her eyes misted up with tears. She suffered a lot in her childhood, may be god is blessing her with a good life now.

"Thank you" both said in unison. Their voices are full of warmth and gratitude.

"Jean, start calling me as grandfather at least from now" he joked and hugged both of them slightly.

Jean nodded her head as her happy tears welled up in her eyes….

After they came out others looked at them with sheer curiosity. But by looking at their merry faces others understood that their predictions are wrong.

The same festive mood continued in the house till the night. Steve could see that Jean is really impressive, she has a knack in pleasing others according to their character.

In a single day she easily managed in impressing other elders of the family. Even some of the Scott's cousins started to admire her.

At night Jean fell in dilemma, where she should sleep…with Scott or in Black's villa.

"We know that you both are in live in together relationship since some years. Don't hesitate to share a same room" Elder Summers laughed and patted Jean's head whose face instantly blushed by his words.

Whole Summers family is shameless…
