Chapter 554 - Maria denies...

"I don't know but I will fix some cameras and see this time. You are going back to your penthouse today right?" 

Jeff coughed as he heard his sister mocking him right in front of Maria. 

"Iris said you are not that bad…but I doubt so" Jean smirked as she whispered. 

Meanwhile Maria llooked at the siblings and her heart swelled with love and happiness. But in that instant she remembered something and all those happy feelings she has now just vanished into thin air. 

Sighing again she closed her eyes while her nails dug into her palms. She again looked at the twins who are laughing beside her and sighed. 

"Jeff, I have another surgery to attend in country F. It might take long do can you please take care of the current situation in the sub branch here" Maria said as she stood up. 

Jeff nodded his head and Jean smiled little awkwardly. 

"Mom, don't you want to meet Jasper. Anyway you came so, why don't you just say hi to your little nephew" Jeff asked. 

Maria remained expressionless but someone like Jean can easily figure it out that she is hiding her emotions. 

For an unknown reason Maria don't want to meet Jasper…

"I have my private jet waiting for me Jeff. I just came to ask father for a suggestion…..I should be going" she said. 

"Take care Jean. Every woman in this family always suffer during or after their pregnancy. Just be careful about your diet and don't stress yourself much." She softly said. Sympathy evident in her voice.. 

"And I am very sorry Jean. I might not be able to come to your wedding…I am very busy currently. Hope you understands" Maria asked Jean as she hesitantly patted Jean's head. 

"I understand aunt." Jean said as she smiled understandingly. 

Maria smiled back at both the twins and started walking away… 

"Hmm…..mom is never this weird. Maybe she is too stressed" Jeff said. 

Jean shrugged and pursed her lips. "Might be. But I am feeling like something is amiss Jeff." She couldn't help but voice out her opinion. 

"Baby sis, don't think much. Just relax…and did you do your morning exercise?" he asked and Jean bit her tongue. 

Hell! She forgot today is Thursday…

Jeff sighed. "Scott is really too patient with you. How did he even use to take care of you" he softly scolded his sister as he tenderly twisted her ear. 

Jean pouted "It has not even been three days and you are already fed up with me….Hmph. You don't love me at all" Jean feigned her anger. "Where is my little brother and sister in law…" she asked as she stood up. 

Jeff chuckled. "Don't get too angry ma'am. I am just joking" he said and stood up before wrapping his arm around her shoulders. 

"You are making me miss my husband" Jean pouted. 

Scott is really patient with her and use to take care of her without complaining anything. 

Once he complained as she denied to eat her dinner because she is feeling nauseous.

That's it and Jean started crying…she even

blamed him for making her pregnant. 

That night she didn't allow him to sleep along with her on the bed let alone touch her. This didn't go good with Scott who couldn't sleep without his wife n.a.k.e.d in his arms…

He have to beg her and plead her to forgive him….

Jean who is really in bad mood at that time, made him kneel for half an hour before allowing him to sleep on the bed. However she didn't allow him to touch her nor kiss her, but she wrapped her arms around his neck and leaned her head on his chest and slept peacefully. 

Ever since that happened, he didn't dare to complain about anything. He use to be patient and careful when he use to talk to her. 

Jean smiled as she remembered how she use to blackmail him using her weapons….

Jeff sighed as he looked at her love stuck expression. "Wait for another four days little sis, you will be back in your husband's arms" he comforted her as he slowly made her walk to her yoga room.

"Mrs. Warren, here is your student…..I brought her here with a lot of effort" Jeff said to his favorite aunt (Johann's wife)  as he grinned. 

Jean pouted and went to changing room to change her dress. 

"I will be going aunty. Iris and Jasper are with grandparents waiting for me…can you just distract Jean for some hours, we will be done by then" he whispered. 

Mrs. Warren chuckled. "Of course." 

After Jeff went off, she felt very bored and started talking with her husband. 

Like always he asked her what she is doing and how it is going with Valdez's. As like usual, his love stuck wife spilled all the bean

...…

In country B…..

Johann just finished talking with his wife and came back inside where second young master of Braxton is sitting as he sipped his wine. 

A girl sitting on his lap is serving him his wine, occasionally pleasing him with his body. 

"Done talking to your so called wife, Johann" he asked as he roughly slapped that woman's thigh. 

"Want someone to please you too?" he asked again and the remaining woman's waiting for their chance stood up hoping their turn would come. 

"No thanks young master" he politely apologized. Till now he didn't even touch a single woman except his wife who is now in risk because of the work he assigned her. 

"So loyal….aren't you?" second master chuckled and waved off the remaining girls out from the room. 

"Babe, take one of your friend from that girls and wait for me upstairs" he smacked her hip and she m.o.a.ned loudly making him turned on. 

Johann disgusted that sound but he couldn't do anything but  wait outside till his second boss satisfy his needs.
