59 She Noticed It This Time

Jessica was so immersed in her thoughts that she didn't even realise where Austin was taking her .

She looked at Austin and asked in surprise , why here ?

Didn't we agree a while ago ? , he questioned her .

Yes we did. But you told soon . You never told that we were going to meet them now , she said .

Austin stopped his car in front of Jessica's home . The gates were opened for them to enter inside .

Austin !! she said and held his hand tighter .

Do you even know what you are doing ? , she asked him .

Trust me , nothing's going to happen , he assured her.

But still .....

He place his index finger on her lips to stop her from talking further .

Let's go , he said and opened the car door.

She got out of the car reluctantly and walked behind him taking small strides .

Good morning Mr. Olsen , Austin greeted Jessica's father politely .

John Olsen , Jessica's father was reading newspaper when they arrived .

Good morning Mr.Ames , I thought you both were coming in the evening , he said looking at Jessica who was hiding behind Austin .

Have a seat , he said to Austin .

You , go and call your mother , John said to Jessica .

Without delaying she rushed into her mother's room .

Mom .....Mom where are you ?

Jessica called her mom , Lucy . Lucy was talking to the head maid and the chef about the menu for tonight .

Jessica saw her mother standing in the corridor.

You are here , why didn't you just tell me when you clearly heard me calling you , Jessica was slightly pissed.

Why were you calling me ? , didn't you tell that you'd come in the evening, her mother replied curtly .

There's something I need to tell you , just listen to me for ....

Wait , you listen to me first Jessica , he mother cut her words .

Jessica was taken aback looking at the way her mother was talking to her. Her mother was always sweet to her , her father too .

Did something happen ? , she asked her mother .

Didn't Austin tell you anything when he met you last night ? , her mother questioned her .

Jessica's face turned pale , she thought that her parents were angry because she hid the truth from them . She was clueless about what Austin did in his absence .

She shook her head in surprise and said , he didn't tell me .

Her mother sighed and said , the reason why your father chose Jake was because he thought he was a nice person . But he turned out to be a moron .

Jessica's mother walked to her bed and sat on it , she continued talking about what happened in the last few days.

What agreement ? , Jessica asked Lucy .

It was a deal between our company and their company , I don't know what the deal was about , but as far as I know Jake's father planned to gain profits taking your father's help and using you as a bait , Lucy answered .

Your father agreed and was ready to give everything they wanted for your sake . He thought Jake was perfect for you but he was wrong . After knowing your situation your father decided to cancel the marriage and the deal they made . Jake's father agreed to it but asked something in return for their loss as a replacement to you , her mother said .

What did they ask ? Jessica questioned her mother.

Half of our profits , Lucy answered.

What ? , that's crazy , Jessica said in shock .

Yes , but they said that it was very less when compared to you and your father being a man who'd keep his word agreed to it . But thankfully Austin came at the right time and helped your father from giving half of our company profits , her mother who was depressed until now had a small smile on her face while saying about Austin.

Austin ? , Jessica asked her .

Yes , the last three days he was working with your father . He called his subordinates and other officials to deal with the situation and helped us to give them the amount of money they wanted after the situation got normal , your father asked Austin , how could he return his favour . Austin reply was short but straight . He said ," I want you to give your daughter to me , I promise I'll make her happy . "

Her mother said .

Your father was startled to his words but Austin told us that you both are in love and after thinking for a long time , your father agreed to you both happily , she said looked at Jessica who was to tears .

Why did you hide your relationship from us ? , If only you told us about you and him , this wouldn't have happened , her mother said coldly .

Jessica wiped her tears that ran down her cheeks and said , It has just been a week since we started to date . I never wanted to hide it from you both , I just needed time .

Is it ? , Jessica's mother asked her and saw her nod as a yes.

There was a bright grin on her mother's face , taking her daughter's hand in hers she said , I'm happy that you chose a person like him .

Thankyou mom , she said and hugged her mother when the maid knocked the door to call them down as the both men were waiting for the mother and daughter to come down .

When Jessica was getting down from the stairs her eyes were fixed at Austin who was talking to her father but her gaze was caught by him as usual .

Austin got up from his seat to greet Jessica's mother .

Good morning Mrs. Olsen , he greeted her .

Please Austin , don't be formal . I can excuse you now but you have to call me mom next time we meet , Lucy said to Austin .

Sure , he replied .

Jessica felt like her heart would explode out of happiness . Her parents accepted their love too and the last person who should accept them is Austin's mother Alicia who is her Idol too . That moment she just prayed that everything should be fine between him and her .

We have to leave now , Austin said to her parents .

After taking leave from her parents they left to their office .

Jessica stared at him since the time they got into the car . Austin knew that she was staring at him , he also knew that her stare was different .While going to her home , her eyes looked as if she wanted to ask him something but now she looked at him with her eyes filled with love .

If you want to thank to me then don't ....

I'm not , she said cutting his words .

Good , he said and saw her looking at him , he didn't understand why she was looking at him in that way , whenever he told her that he saw her looking at him , she always looked away to hide her face . But now , she was still looking at him . His face was expressionless but his ears turned pink and she noticed it this time .

She cleared her throat to cover her smile that took place on her face after seeing his pink ears .
