Chapter 31 - Unknown Jacket

Jade returned home with a box of pizza after dinner with Amy at the restaurant. She had just walked into the sitting room when Kelvin pounced on her and quickly grabbed the box of pizza from her hands.

"Wow..Thanks sis" He said gleefully as he opened the box and took a big bite from a slice.

Jade looked at him amusedly."Did you ask if that was yours?" Jade asked with a fond smile.

"Is it mine?" He asked rhetorically with his stuffed mouth. Jade shot him a disbeliving look as she shook her head. This brother of her's was something else.

"I thought as much" He said without glancing back at Jade as he returned back to playing his game.

"You're back" Grace said as she walked out of the kitchen. She had hurried out when she heard Jade's voice.

"Yes mom" She replied.

"Hold on, dinner will be ready soon" Grace informed her before turning around to return back to the kitchen.

"I already had dinner" She said stopping her mother. "I had dinner with Amy. You should make for just yourself, since your son won't be able to after eating that" She added, glancing at Kelvin.

"I guess it's just me then" Grace said looking at Kelvin who was engrossed in playing a video game. She chuckled at how funny his mouth moved every time he eats pizza. It was his favorite.

"Did you see him at work?" Grace asked the mind bugging question that has been tormenting her all day. She has been really anxious after Jade left for work in the morning. She wondered how her child's life will be at work, when she worked with an ex who shattered her heart.

Jade didn't need anybody to tell her who she was referring to. "Ya I did" Jade replied as she walked to take her seat on the couch. Her feets felt sore.

"And?" Grace asked curiously as she followed her.

"And nothing" Jade shrugged as she raised her gaze to her mother who was expecting her to say more. "He apologized and said it was a misunderstanding" She added.

"Do you believe that?" Grace asked.

"No! I don't believe that. I know what I saw. And why did he lie about Stephanie being a relative? I guess it was just to fool me" Jade said.

"Well that's over. Just keep your distance from him. Someone like him can only bring you more pain" Grace adviced.

"Sis if that jerk comes close to you again, tell me, I'll give him a really good beating" Kelvin said. Who knew he had actually being listening while he was busy playing?

"Yes sir" Jade said with mock politeness.

"I'll be in my room" She said before heading to her room.

She walked out of the bathroom and was shocked to find a black suit jacket lying on her bed. She picked it up and looked closely at it wondering why it was laid there. It wasn't on her bed before she went into the bathroom minutes ago.

She put her on her pink pyjamas before going to her mother to ask who owned the jacket and why it was on her bed.

"Mom, who owns this?" Jade asked holding the jacket in front of her.

"You should know that. Why are you asking me? It was among the dirty clothes so I washed it" Grace answered with a confused look on her face. She had thought Jade had brought the Jacket home. Maybe it was Cale's.

Jade was confused. Why was she to know where the jacket came from? She stood there staring at the jacket, while trying to joggle her memory.

"Why are you both looking like you're solving a puzzle?" Kelvin asked when he saw the puzzling look on their faces.

"Kelvin is this yours?" Jade asked making Kelvin look at her confusedly.

"How would I fit into something that big. And why am I the only one who knows that is a very expensive suit Jacket" Kelvin asked them and looked at them like they were kidergarten children he had to lecture. He could tell because he was the one who had dropped it in the laundry basket when Jade returned home with it.

Jade closely examined the jacket. She had not really noticed it was a branded Gucci suit until Kelvin mentioned it.

'But where did it come from? And why did her mother think it came from her?'. If she had not broken up with Cale, she would have thought it belonged to him. But this was a suit jacket which would cost some thousands of dollars, which Cale definitely won't be able to afford. So who owns it?

Kelvin noticed the confused look on his sister's face. He knew she was thinking about the Jacket.

"Didn't you bring it home, the day you were drenched in the rain? It was drapped around your shoulder when you arrived"

Jade thought about it for a few seconds when her eyes suddenly widen in shock. "It...It belonged to him??' she said in her mind. She hurriedly turned around and went into her room.

"I guess she remembers" Kelvin said with a shrug before plumping down on the sofa close to his mother.

"Mom can I get a body massage?" He asked with a pleading smile, placing his legs on Grace's thigh.

"And why would I do that?" Grace asked with raised brows.

"Because my body aches"

"What did you do?"

"I went to high school and I did alot of assignments which they give students like us" He said as he placed his mother's hand on his legs, in a way that asked her to just give him a massage.

"Then you can ask your teachers to do that. I didn't give those assignments to you" Grace said as she stood up to leave.

"But you sent me to school?" Kelvin yelled behind her.

"Ah! I guess that was a mistake after all. You should probably quit then. Good night Kelvin, momma loves you"

"No you don't!" Kelvin yelled with a frown as he watched her leave.
